AYRT

Yeah. There were other things too, the first encounter with the bull, Amalthea being tempted to live and love as a woman and leaving the other unicorns in captivity (and Molly being tempted to let her), the frikking talking skull, that thing scared me to death as a kid when it saw Amalthea and went off the deep end and started howling for Haggard to come and kill people ...

You couldn't really censor most of it, though. An awful lot of it is implication, the deaths aren't particularly graphic even though they're somewhat horrifying, and the moral struggles are too much a part of it to elide. I mean, you could censor a word or two, and possibly the harpy and the tree, but the rest of it there's no point.

Aagghhh that skull stuck in my mind for years, it was nightmarish. And I agree that a lot of its bleakness comes from implication which totally flew over my head as a kid, but I recently re-watched the movie and picked up on a lot more things this time around.

The skull doesn't even do anything, it just howls, but I think it was honestly the scariest moment in the movie for me, especially since it directly results in Haggard doing his damnedest to murder Schmendrick and them all being trapped with the bull. Jesus, that thing terrified me.

I missed so much the first few times around, I was really young, but I think that only made the movie better as I got older. It gained so much poignancy when I went back and I actually understood things like what had happened to Molly, and why Mommy Fortuna did what she did, and how weirdly tragic Haggard was. It's a movie that's really better as an adult, although it's magical (and terrifying) as a child.

It's funny, because there was a wizard who turned a male unicorn into a prince and he stayed mortal and married...I /think/ it was Schmendrick's tutor, but it's been a long time since I read the book.
