Seriously. This movie has always managed to move me somehow. It gave me that belief in magic that I still carry with me today. And I can understand not wanting to see it again. Sometimes when we fall in love with something as a child, we want to keep that memory, that emotion it pulled from us, alive. Seeing it through adult eyes could tarnish it. I took a big chance when I watched The Last Unicorn again as an adult, but I was lucky...it retained its beauty and magnificence. I won’t lie, you probably will sob again. Seriously.

I don't think I've ever cried as much as I did when I saw this movie for the first time. It killed me! And now, though I'm an adult, I don't think I want to see it again. My luck I'd sob like a baby...again. :~P Oy, this movie brings back memories! I don’t think I’ve ever cried as much as I did when I saw this movie for the first time. It killed me!
