The Last Unicorn feels like something I must have seen as a child, tucked away in some dusty corner of memory. It’s a strong example of 1980s animation, from a time when anything animated was supposedly suitable for children of all ages — full of magic, sorcery, menace, peril, and jeopardy. It also carries some very dated ideas, especially in the old witch: a classic sexist portrayal, all warts, bitterness, and ugliness. This film is exactly the sort of thing that gave me nightmares as a kid, and honestly, I’m not sure I enjoyed it much more as an adult.
