To stay in the loop on more movies like this, you can sign up for weekly The Enchanted edition is the classic movie at its best, both visually and conceptually, with terrific bonus features updating the history and steadily powerful impact of the film. The movie has been released on video and DVD several times since it was first shown in theaters in 1982. A huge tree appears to have bizarrely large breasts that threaten to crush a sympathetic magician, and a few other visuals show large cartoon breasts. A ferocious harpy (a legendary flying monster) attacks and destroys. A hideous witch, along with the ghoulish creatures she holds captive, is grotesque and menacing. A flaming red bull rampages through and threatens the most vulnerable characters. Though the film is often funny and lyrical and has a tender story with a strong musical spine, younger or very sensitive kids could find a number of sequences and visuals extremely scary. The story - about a unicorn who fears she may be the last of her species on earth and sets out to find the others - was original and offbeat when it was made and remains so decades later. Not a typical fairy tale with a traditional good-vs.-evil plot and happy ending, it has sad moments, challenging decisions to be made, and no easy resolutions. Parents need to know that The Last Unicorn is an unconventional, mythological family film.
