1. The first time I saw this movie I was 9, and fucking OBSESSED with unicorns. I mean, I had unicorn shirts, unicorn stickers on everything, Lisa Frank unicorn folders, a unicorn bike. I didn't read the book until I was around twenty-five, though, and on seeing the movie after reading the book I think there's something sad about the inability to put that kinda gentle, delicate whimsical prose into picture. But my inner 9-year-old still shrieks with glee throughout the whole film.

2. I have the biggest soft spot for Molly Grue. She's just... fantastic. I love how she's simultaneously so cynical and hopeful. I'm not sure I have a least favorite? Maybe Mommy Fortuna? But I still really like her even though she's a dick.

3. Fave: "It would be the last unicorn that came to Molly Grue." Re: Molly is fantastic. Least: NOW THAT I'M A WOMAAAAAAAAAAN

4. I either cringe or laugh every time someone starts singing. Sometimes both. Sometimes I throw popcorn at the screen in disgust. (NOW THAT I'M A WOMAAAAAAAAAN)

5. Overall I think it's a beautiful movie, and I love that Beagle did the script himself. The movie version of the unicorn is the only way I can picture her in my head. She's pretty much perfect. If I could find a way to replace the soundtrack I'd be the happiest person in the world. Or at least replace Now That I'm a Woman.

I've bought this movie on VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray. My DVD and Blu-Ray are signed by Beagle, as is my hardcover copy of the book. I'm, like, ridiculously biased.

I like Mommy Fortuna. She was evil but I love how she was like, "One day this Harpy is going to kill me and I am ready for when that happens." That is kind of refreshing.

Yeah, Molly was my second favorite. She reminds me of the Wildling who takes care of Bronn in GoT.

Also, yeah the music is ridiculous.

Hello, are you me? I saw it at age 8 and became obsessed with unicorns.

Did you also have a million unicorn My Little Ponies? If so, then yes. We are one mind in two bodies.

If Mum could have afforded them, I would have, but during the height of my unicorn stage (age 9-12) we were pretty badly off, and my Space Lego obsession was competing for b'day and Xmas present representation.

Though one of my Lego Space Police became a unicorn in human form (it was a story I made up that was an inspirational descendant of "The Last Unicorn").

After age 12 I started getting into fantasy novels, like David Eddings and the Forgotten Realms pulp novels, and LotR - that sort of reading, which veered me more into general fantasy stufff.
