    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Sir Christopher Lee (King Haggard) showed up for the recording sessions armed with his own copy of the book, with several places marked to indicate things that must not, in his opinion, be omitted. This is similar to his behavior on The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) and its sequels in which he also showed up on set with his copy of the books, and was often a stickler for exact fidelity to the novels.
    • Goofs
      The horn that Mommy Fortuna created for the Unicorn glows and was located in front of the Unicorn's authentic horn. However, when when the Unicorn says "hurry!" to Schmendrick as he is unlocking her cage, we see that her authentic horn, not Mommy Fortuna's horn, is the one that's glowing.
    • Quotes

      Molly: No, it can't be. Can it be? Where have you been? Where have you been? Damn you! Where have you been?

      Schmendrick: Don't you talk to her that way!

      Unicorn: I'm here now.

      Molly: And where were you twenty years ago? Ten years ago? Where were you when I was new? When I was one of those innocent young maidens you always come to? How dare you! How dare you come to me now, when I am this!

      [Weeps]

      Schmendrick: Can you really see her? Do you know what she is?

      Molly: If you had been waiting to see a unicorn, as long as I have...

      Schmendrick: She's the last unicorn in the world.

      Molly: It would be the last unicorn that came to Molly Grue. It's all right, I forgive you.

    • Alternate versions
      Because Lionsgate used the German video master for the 2007 25th Anniversary Edition DVD, not only does the film run at a 5% faster speed, but the German title appears under the English title at the start. Much of the swear words were also edited out in this release.

    Fantasy classic!

    I remember watching this movie as a child and wearing out the old VHS tape. The music provided by the 70s music group, America, provides a wonderful folk mood to the piece. I recently discovered this movie on DVD and immediately bought the movie. I watched the movie and read the book. I love how the animators were able to bring forward the essence of Peter Beagle's masterpiece of fantasy fiction.

    The Last Unicorn is story about friendship and love. The Unicorn discovers that she is the last unicorn in the world. Searching for a sense of identity, she starts a quest to find the other unicorns. That quest introduces her to Schmendrick and Molly Grue. The Unicorn, Schmendrick and Molly are each searching to fill a void, and as an audience member, I vicariously find a way to fill my void through their experiences.

    FAQ22

    • How long is The Last Unicorn?Powered by Alexa
    • I always thought that Nellie Bellflower did the voice of The Tree. But no, years later I found out it was Paul Frees. However, Nellie's name can be seen on the ending credits of the movie. However, now on IMDb it says that her character's scenes were deleted. Who was her character supposed to be in the movie?
    • Why does the Unicorn get so upset when referred to as a "mare" or a "horse"?
    • Why does the Butterfly make references to contemporary pop culture when the film is implied to be set in a Medieval time period?
