The Last Unicorn, Unico, and Nostalgia In General

[calliopes_pen]

I found a few clips of The Last Unicorn and both Unico movies over on Youtube, so I thought a few people on my friends list might want to see them.

The trailer for The Last Unicorn—I never knew Christopher Lee was in it.
Very end of The Last Unicorn, from what I can tell.
And another clip.

Unico—I think this is from the first movie.

What looks like a music video made from part of the second Unico movie--Unico’s Magic Island. Just put the music on mute, and watch if you just want to see the movie. Looks like we’ve found the source of why ventriloquist dummies and things like that are a bit freaky to me...
Clip 1.
Clip 2.

And, finally, I’ve been reading threads over at the IMDB message boards about what movies and shows traumatized everyone as a child. For me, I would have to say Return to Oz, Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer, Alice in Wonderland (4 hour version--not scary anymore, except for the length), Mr. Boogedy (I'm over it now) and The Witches. Oh, and Legend--I have never been able to make it even halfway through that movie.

I probably would have been traumatized by The Black Cauldron, too, if I had been allowed to see it back then. Anyone on my friends list have any movies or tv shows that traumatized them when they were younger?

Oh, and looks like The Last Unicorn will be shown on a channel called Flix all this month. So I’ll finally get to see it again.

When you meet a brand new friend, it opens up a world. A world whose brightness never ends ... it opens up the wooooorld!


Also? UNICO! I miss those movies so much. So. Weird.

Sadly, from what I've been able to find out the Unico movies will never be released on DVD. Apparently, the person who did the movies died, and then rights were transferred or something, and the U.S. lost the rights.

Apparently, the ones that made Unico also created Hello Kitty. I've been told that due to this, if you look closely in a few scenes in one of the movies, you can see Hello Kitty in the background.

What? No! But those movies are so closely tied to my childhood! The wooden dummy things haunted my dreams FOR YEARS.

Not in a scary way but it scarred me for life

That brings back a couple memories. I think they forced everyone to watch that movie in middle school. I'll have to look it up to be sure of it, though.

I was totall traumatized by The Poseidon Adventure. What my parents thought they were doing taking a 7-year-old to a movie like that, I can't even guess.

I must have been a sick child... I loved Return to Oz, Rainbow Brite, Legend, and The Black Cauldron. Of course, I've only seen the Black Cauldron two years ago... but still.
