The last unicorn aka a film about a horse-REVIEW (minor spoilers)


-a charming animated film about some bloody unicorn

-brilliantly voiced by mia farrow

-kinda a musical too in the same way those old disney films are

-like you meet some character and they immediately break into song

-you cant get away with that in real life btw

-so there's loads of great actors in this

-jeff bridges, christopher lee, mia farrow

-as said mia is genuinely great in this

-her voice as the unicorn is both ethereal and musical

-her singing voice is less so

-its not bad its just not what you would expect

-saying that though

-i think it works

-it gives her character a more human, relatable feel

-which fits perfectly with the story

-so the idiosyncrasies of this film really make it quite pleasant

-and even though at first glance this film looks gay as fuck

-its not

-so fuck off

-the animation in the very first scene

-reminded me of a studio ghibli film

-and the credits had loads of japanese looking names

-like goku and naruto and shit

-and then i read later that these animators

-later formed early studio ghibli

-so a nice little piece of history and context

-the film reminded me of a zelda story tbh

-from the evil red bull underneath the castle (breath of the wild)

-christopher lee's character looked like ganondorf a bit

-the unicorn's human form looked like princess zelda

-and prince lir looked like link

-even the way the bull swirls above the castle is so similar to breath of the wild

-definitely one of nintendo's inspirations

-the unicorn looks quite beautiful in motion too

-they dont make films like this anymore

-so get fucked netflix

-fucking frappuccino drinking plebs

8/10
