The Last Unicorn (1982)

Greatly perturbed that she may be the last of her species left alive in all the world, a sincere but naïve female unicorn leaves the safety of the enchanted forest that she calls home. Her search for others takes her into the world of man, a place fraught with danger, in which great loss and rapacity exist.
Far from the rainbow-saturated perception of unicorns that exists on the internet today, Rankin/Bass' version of Peter S. Beagle's 1968 book is an often sombre and bittersweet journey that explores some pretty heavy themes.
Voice work is great, particularity Mia Farrow as the lilac-eyed protagonist and, better still, Christopher Lee as a sullen monarch of a dreary kingdom.
