This movie scarred me

Lmao😭

Jesus christ that's funny

It would have to be terrifying, too terrifying for words. 😨

I got a question if she was immoral y was that bull such a problem

@@joannalopez4367 she doesn't age and would live forever but she can still be killed.

Less disgusting more so confusing and kinda terrifying

@@wildfire317 I think aging would feel gross if I never aged before.

What makes Ariel from Little Mermaid or Carola from Tales from the Darkside the movie's Lover's Vow (the gargoyle story) no different?

Johnlindsey289 a lot actually, at least between Ariel and amalthea (hav'nt seen the others) Ariel WANTED to be a human in the fist place, it's one of the first things we learn about her.Amalthea on the other hand is a creature who is above humans, something pure.while Ariel might've missed her old home she never expresses that she would lea 've Eric or her human life.amalthea instead is experiencing something she's probably never felt before. Emotions and the fear of death, and the loss of her innocence something that characterizes unicorns so distinctively and sets them so high above humans, they would probably be killed rather then lose it, as it is irreplaceable (mentioned above)

What about Carola from Tales from the Darkside the movie or Twilight Sparkle in Equestria Girls?

Johnlindsey289 as I said before this movie is much more related to the loss of innocence not feeling love or falling in love with someone's who's another species.for twilight the only parallels I see are that 1 she was turned in to a human and 2 she fell in love with someone who was human.But twilight never felt the things amalthea felt, losing not only your physical form, but losing what characterized her whole species, innocence.you can argue twilight lost her magic, but at the end she got it back, but innocence is impossible to get back.Heck even in the romance department they are widely different, with twilight still having a chance(movie wise) in her own world, but Amalthea and Prince Lir will never be able to experience how far their love would've have gone being in two different worlds(not litterally) so amalthea experiences much more loss and character development, as she's kinder and more emotional at the end.

Well for me since i'm a guy, i felt bad for Prince Lir and him losing what was important to him and felt his pain. i felt bad for Prince Lir so much i wrote a fanfiction alternate ending story where Amalthea doesn't turn into a regular ordinar 4 legged feral unicorn creature! instead she is transformed into an anthro humanoid unicorn being with her dress still on (same body structure of a human with high intelligence, breasts, feet and hands, white fur on her body with tail, shapely body and her unicorn self's head on top as she is something different plus emotions/feelings like a human) with human emotion/feelings as she becomes like something out of a furry artwork or an anthro MLP artwork or any of Hattonslayden's artworks (he draws amazing artworks of Sci-fi/fantasy stuff to human males romancing anthro/xeno/mutant females) as she has gained stronger powers than ever as she fights the red bull her way after seeing her human lover knocked down by the monster. She also goes all moses on the sea to free the unicorns of the world out and she is no ordinary unicorn as she is nether human or unicorn but a fusion as she is humanoid with emotions even the gift of laughter/smile plus she can consent/talk to humans. She not only heals Lir's wounds with her horn but also wakes him up with a kiss of true love which helps him be revived, he is amazed by her as she is something new and he still loves her while she still loves him. Both go to Hagsgate town where Lir's real dad is and his real dad becomes king while Lir marries his anthro humanoid unicorn person lover Amalthea then goes back to live with her in a cottage in her woods. It's a twist on typical happy endings where you don't have to be the same kind of person/different species of person to be in love, similar to Splash or the CBS Beauty and the Beast 80s show with Ron Perlman or Doctor Who's Vastra and Jenny or on Regular Show (Margot's parents) or Bojack Horseman or Eliza and Goliath on Gargoyles or Wolf Children. Afterall Lir loves who he loves which is an inspiration quote.

NANI?

(dies laughing)

Nice.

@Savannah the banana Then she would had been Equestria's best princess

Love that line! Forgot about it till I watched this the other day and it made me laugh lol...the futilely he feels and expresses towards the journey that has been his life, is truly stated well here

That’s two different things besides fire elemental animals don’t care about entertainment

Not to brag or anything but i'm the 1000th like XD. Feels good haha

When I was a little kid they put this movie on at school and that line is literally the only thing I remember.

This is such a great line that I was surprised to find is not in the original novel. There Schmendrick rattles off about a half dozen kinds of magic tricks. Beagle absolutely made the right choice reducing it down to one pithy phrase.

I think it was good that she was human for a time as she discovers love and her love for Prince Lir gave her the courage to stand up to the bull and free her kind. And she stated though she's now different from the other unicorns she is grateful for her human experience and it seems she's become a better and wiser Unicorn.

Same

@@TheMormonSorceress Perhaps. But she'll forever regret the knowledge of mortality.

@@TheMormonSorceress agreed... life is demands sacrifice

Same thing happened to the phoenix force in marvel.

Mia farrow is a great actress 🤧 she really sells that sad scared lady scream like in Rosemary’s baby. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ITS EYES?!?! That always gets me

When I was a kid, I used to wonder why she sounded so calm and collected as a unicorn and suddenly became so emotional and almost hysterical as a human. Watching this scene again now, it all makes sense.

@@ghostbird92 If you did not know, the whole movie is available on youtube.

@@JohnDoe-yq8ox I actually just noticed that this week! Thanks!

"what can I do, d'ya think the red bull likes CARD tricks!?" Red Bull: *stops attacking* "card tricks, you say? I'm listening."

I think she's also upset that a creature purer than any other in the world has been transformed into a human being, a creature capable of great evil. Amalthea has been scarred.

Not only that, but she was changed into something that would grow old and die.

Seriously!!!! Molly tells her why she is upset. When we are young girls we need that bit of magic...

I get why she's upset. But at the same time she should be grateful that she wasn't captured.

Yes but she did encourage him to change her into another creature!

It can also be taken in a very literal sense too. She can literally feel the cells on her body dying as every second goes past. We probably can too but we just don't notice it because we've always existed that way. If you're interested, I wrote a thing about the relationship between Amalthea and Lir and how much innocence plays a part of it. It's one of the few things I don't think the movie managed to capture quite as well as the book. cilliansramblings.wordpress.com/2016/04/01/the-last-unicorn-an-analysis-on-love/

Very well written and i like the point you make about the essence of True love and how Amalthea and Lir's relationship was. I swear i hope they never remake this and if they door they stay true to the original film and book because knowing most filmmakers of today they would trash part of the script to interest the more naive and less attentive with more modern jokes and much more colorful versions of these characters. Truth be told I always thought Tim Burton would get his hands on this at one point and Helena Bohnum Carter would play Molly Grue. (personal wish)

+ floooooooooooooooood That's exactly how I perceive it. She's been immortal for who knows how long, and now can literally feel herself dying. That would have to be very scary. :(

What makes Ariel the mermaid or Twilight Sparkle in MLP Equestria Girls or Carola from Tales from the Darkside the movie's Lover's Vow (the gargoyle story) no different than Amalthea?

I guess I would have to say the writing. In The Last Unicorn Prince Lir knows that they can never truly be in love and that love at first sight doesn't really exist. It's more like innocent love, like how children perceive it. Love takes time and work, it's not something that just happens from seeing one another in an instant and happiness is guaranteed like in a classic Disney movie. While it's true other cartoons embellish the notion of Love At First Sight this movie tells the truth that although they were attracted to each other they wouldn't know if they could fall in love unless they spent more time together, time they both never had.

Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night for me was the most disturbing animated movie i saw as a kid then Watership Down

I used to walk to the library to rent this movie as well!! I loved it.. this and the Faerie Tale Theatre movies with Shelly Duvall- I lived on those. I could only rent 3 at a time and this infuriated 8 year old- so I would watch them as fast as I could and go back to the library and return them to rent more. ohhhh man.. the 90's.

Me too. Used to drive my mother nuts.

Ik It constantly scarred me watching that scar in her head where that hirn was

Novella ig we had the same childhood lol

In the book, Schmendrick says something along the lines of "Would it have been better if I turned you into a rhinoceros instead?"

@@Godzillakingofkaiju1 I think yes, the first unicorn account was actually Pliny's description of a Rhinoceros that eventually got a bit out of hand So a Rhinocéros would have all of the unicorn's characteristics with thrice the raw strength

he should have turned her into a pegasus so she could have just flown away to safety, lol

I think molly thought he'd turn her into another animal. Just change her appearance outwardly instead of changing her into a mortal woman. Especially when Molly's own grief came out of being too old and no longer the innocent, pure maiden she felt like she was supposed to be to deserve the chance to have a unicorn appear before her. Molly knows what happens to women. Especially when you're mortal and just trying to survive the world. She doesn't want the same thing to happen to her.

I agree, Schmendrik saved her and yet everyone is blaming him for choosing something mortal, like do you want her to be a rock or a glass of water? Besides, do we even know that it was his choice?

"Don't regret." So they're psychopaths?!

+james guillory Not entirely. Unicorns are quite pure and could do no evil. They won't have anything to regret, for there is evil in any of their actions.

They have no sense of right and wrong, and can do no wrong because of that fact alone. Like normal animals. Humans have more advanced and complicated emotions. It's only natural.

it's the knowing part..... Just sit and think quietly and know that we all will reach that end. Before our end, we MUST! first see and feel the end of all those we love

They are wild as well and quite savage, they are not tame creatures. In the novel which this film is based, the wizard's teacher also turned a Unicorn Stallion into a human to save him from hunters. The human unicorn slaughtered them all and danced upon their remains.

The moment we are born we begin to die.

As a unicorn, her time on Earth has always been unlimited. To us, our death seems so far away, but to an immortal suddenly trapped in a human body, death is painfully close now.

Yeah there really are certain emotions you learn only when your body feels pain and suffers

@Fab Plays That depends on perspective. Technically we could describe "dying" as the aging process that deteriorates our body, which begins around early adulthood. We're "programmed" to die from birth, but we don't "begin" to die until we finished growing up and reached our physical peak.

being mortal is not bad if you know how to make good memories with it

So I'm not the only one annoyed about that.

He always seemed underappreciated even though he does almost everything.

Mixed feelings. It was the only way to save her but at the same time she did go mad

Nadia quit making excuses for that horrible unicorn. She was haughty and ignorant about suffering and she needed a life lesson. Okay, she isn't real so yes I am being dramatic, but she was much better off than in the sea.

Nick Machiavelli Excuses? Calm down dude she literally said she feels her body dying, that's gonna take an emotional and mental toll on her It's not that hard of an idea to process

Typical...

Lol!!

Not help turn the last unicorn human that's what you mean, shed literally rather die, and said she was more afraid of this body more than the red bbull

@@munkhbolorbukhchuluunsukh2568 well then she's got great self preservation skills for a unicorn huh? No wonder she's the last of her kind. 😂

Me and Molly both once I realized as well why the entire thing was so horrible. You take something as majestic, pure, and immortal as a Unicorn; and you turn that into something as BASIC as a human woman.

@@lavenderotaku2481not only basic but insanely fragile. Nature nerfed humans to Hell and back in nearly every way possible. In the original book Amalthea describes the human body as a “burning home” and she’s right. The fire being time and injury, accidents, disease would only add fuel to that fire.

why does this not have more likes

What about Prince Lir?

I always wanted purple eyes and white hair from the first time I saw this movie.

SAMEE

Agreed Though looking back, I’m surprised they got away showing this much skin here and yet keeping it G Wonder if small children felt weird or uncomfortable here LOL

was my gay awakening

​@@misterdusky She is kind of too skinny and unseductive that one can expect her to awaken straightness. I don't question your gayness, only that this scene would be a reliable test.

It was a moment of passion from them. They do, after all, go to the castle with Schmendrik and agree with his plan.

Its likely the idea that he swapped one predator for a whole host of others they would now have to watch out for constantly

Just like Theseus

Sometimes the only way forward, toward hope and happiness won’t be ideal. You may lose your identity, your innocence, and forever be scarred because of what you had to experience. But you live on, and so do others, even if you don’t want to anymore. This scene and this movie ask the question “What’s more important? Die happy, or live to be miserable? It takes time to recover from an event as drastic as the one shown in the movie, it’s up to you to decide if it’s worth it.

Not dead just trapped on the sea forever

"Two Hearts" Buy the book. We can hope.

Ugh, I know how the remake is going to be since it’s on Netflix.

In the book she is also in constant pain.

HE SAVED HER. literally she didn't die THANX to HIM. at least they could be a little thankful!!!

@@aronsiklosi3386 She does not comprehend the concept. It is stated in the movie how detached she is from mortal emotions.

@@aronsiklosi3386 she asked for help. And the dude gave it his all. And then she blamed her?! I don't get this woman at all.

@@Guciom i dont care about unicorn, she is a total bitch. im talking about woman that blamed magician FOR SAVING the unicorn lol

IKR? Could you imagine if Lir just happened to be out and about during this time, and come across Amalthea while she's nude?...

That's because Schmendrick likes Molly.

aeriste, true, true.

dbzgal04 Knowing Amalthea's slight naivety of human culture, this is actually a probable situation. *mystical unicorn voice* Now go, mortal, and bleach your brain of the terrors I have instilled in it! Honestly, I kind of want to write a fanfic about this, but I won't.

In mannerisms when she’s the unicorn Schmendrick is more of an adopted brother to her, but when she’s a human he’s more like a young father to her being that she’s so naive to human culture.

Wolfwalkers came out a few days ago and it has a very magical, unique traditional style! You should watch it :)

The booby tree frightened me more than the Red Bull or Haggard.

Not me i thought that middle aged knockered tree was hilarious

Misty Wolf it scared me too lol

lmfao the Booby Tree scared me too as a kid.

@@ARiddle1986 me too!!!

Her reaction to losing immortality in a fantasy movie draws our attention to our own real life mortality. Children have so much growth and time left that they rarely even think about their mortality. Adults "die" (shrink, weaken, decay) little by little every day. The years rush by, in a race to the bottom, the end state of indifference, nothingness, thermodynamical equilibrium. And the universe, eager as a child, expands faster than light - so fast that thousands of stars effectively disappear for us every second - towards infinite emptiness... I wish you all a great day! 😄

He should produce the new adaptation with James Cameron as co-executive producer as both are fans of the novel and i think the director of the Spanish arthouse films The Orphanage and A Monster Calls Antonio Bayona should direct this new adaptation with Evana Lynch from Harry Potter as Lady Amalthea/Unicorn's voice, Doug Bradley (Nightbreed and Hellraiser) or Patrick Stewart as Haggard, Joel Moore from Avatar (Cameron) as Schmendrick etc. and have New Line Cinema do it

@@Johnlindsey289 yes! Maybe Peter Jackson could help add his fantasy touches too! All three of them would be a great power team

No.

@@swarlock Have you seen Pan's Labyrinth, Devil's Backbone, Cronos, Hellboy 1 and 2 and Shape of Water? he's good at horror and fantasy

He'd be the guy for the job, but people are so attached to the original...

+John Tumahab That is...actually a really great line. Good thinking--very insightful.

Apparently, in the original book, after she says that she can feel her body dying, Schmendrick tells her his backstory. Apparently he was cursed with immortality that can only go away when he masters magic and he's been living hundreds of years (probably) just wishing to be mortal again. He didn't want to hear her talk shit about being mortal because that was his entire goal.

I can confirm this is true. Though I didn't get the impression it was hundreds of years. Just that he was a few decades beyond the 20 or 30 years he looks. I can kind of agree why they left it out of this scene since it does break the flow a little bit but it would have been good if they kept it somewhere in the movie. Mortality is a core theme of the movie and Schemdrick shows an important side to it. The bit with Marduke (the other wizard working for King Haggard who's name I've forgotten how to spell) probably would have been a good place to reference it.

floooooooooooooooood yeah, I was mostly just guessing with the amount of years considering I don't think the book said how long he was cursed.

Her problem with it is that the Unicorms never really had to change. They lived in a time bubble where nothing changed. Being human means change. She's afraid about the change she's going to face and that she might face death in her form. She's not complaining about dying, she's so afraid of change and emotions that they all hit her at once, and it's a fucking punch in the stomach. She's so emotionally overwhelmed by her experience as a human so far, she's afraid of what's to come.

did you watch the scene or... "i didnt know you meant to turn her into a human girl" "youve trapped her in a human body, she'll go mad!"

@@gh02tdu2t It was understandably the first thing that came to mind.

@@Widdekuu91 Yes... and Molly is just jealous*... They are both demonstrating forms of human weakness, which is the overarching painful theme of this profound, multifaceted scene. I haven't seen the movie, but it surely seems more suitable for teenagers and adults than for average children. * "just jealous" was kind of provocative. I do not intend to reduce the scene to that aspect. I just thought there could be an element of that too. A change to any mortal being would be a degradation from immortality. The depths of suffering and corruption humans are capable of may be particularly problematic, but on the other hand, constraining/cropping the unicorn's mind to a "shallower" brain would be bad in another way.

This post was made 2 years ago. Plenty of examples around of why becoming human was horrbile.

@@EliasHasle Molly is definitely not jealous. The idea is that turning a creature as pure as a Unicorn into a human gives it the pain and possibility of corruption of human thought. As a Unicorn she did not exactly think as a human did, now she can. Molly also hates her life and a lot of it is because of how she was treated as a woman so the Unicorn being turned into a human woman probably felt like putting a pure creature through living hell to her.

Me too...touches something so deep inside.

Ohhh now I get it. Thank you for the explanation, I've never seen this movie before and I was confused.

Schmendrick gets chewed by both ladies because he... saved the unicorn ??? Thankfully this is just a momentary thing 'cause they're shocked and she apologises in the end

the entire movie is underrated!

Cristina Yes! I’ve loved it for as long as I’ve been alive but no one I know has ever seen it! When I tell people my favourite movie is The Last Unicorn they laugh, probably assuming it’s a bright, cheery, childish cartoon with lollipops and rainbows for six year olds. I wish more people knew about this amazing film.

@@riverfaery I SO agree! It's such an amazing movie, and I even enjoy it (perhaps more so) as an adult! It's so emotive and beautiful, and just so unique! :) I'm so glad someone else feels the same way!

🥺✨🙁

This was animated in Japan i believe so they're pretty good at action scenes lmao

@@caleviwin Oh wow really?! thx for the info

+retromermaid Good point.🙂

+retromermaid: Also, she was probably overwhelmed by the situation in general. I mean, wouldn't you pass out from fear if a huge, flaming red bull chased you?

+Chocobear555 I bet I would.🙁

dbzgal04 Maybe she was overwhelmed..

Likely her sudden experience of being a human--many, many sensations ('I can feel his body dying'), as well as emotions she's never been capable of feeling before. Overwhelmed is a perfect word to describe it. Overwhelmed to the point of passing out.

nice one dude

Yup they do have similarities no doubt as i think the writers of the first movie was inspired by this and the book

Johnlindsey289 Actually EQG was inspired by Monster High and the human fan art

Maybe that's it. The wizard, using his unpredictable magic, accidentally created a world where unicorns were humans

@@jareththegoblinking3191 Could it be that it was Schmendrick who unknowingly created a human world where unicorns can become human those many years later?

I was thinking the same thing

What movie is this🥺🥺🥺

@@ayomideomoge8931 the last unicorn

@@rossman8919 thank you 🥺❤

I don't think it helped that he bragged about it at first

@@freelands8355 Doesn't matter. He did what Molly asked. And said his power was uncontrollable. The unicorn was just ignorant, but Molly was ungrateful.

​@@freelands8355 I want to push back on it being "bragging" per se. Schmendrick was being a bit self-absorbed, but consider his position: A man who has lived his entire life as being a third rate magician at best who can only do cheap parlor tricks with nary a drop of true magic in him. Sure there was the scene with Robin Hood beforehand but to a great degree he refused to believe that was anything more than a fluke. Him being able to get magic to come at all and do as he wanted felt entirely out of reach. That changed when he transformed the Unicorn into Amalthea. He realized it was not a fluke. That he could indeed call upon the powers of magic and have it respond. He couldn't control it, not yet. But it was possible. Not 5 minutes before he thought him being capable of any form of magic was utterly impossible, and had lead his entire life being convinced of that. You can see it in how he constantly belittles his own capability as a magician. This was a turning point, and he recognized that everything he believed about his own capabilities was a lie. This also meant that he could only improve and get better. He wasn't bragging about his own greatness. He was excited about his own *potential*. This was the first true and major sign that he was capable of being far more than a two-bit, third rate magician.

+Peter Richards Which spoken lines are you talking about?

probably the hypocracy in her screaming "do something! do something!" only for him to *do something* which, despite being successful, made her mad and lash out at him with "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" like, really?? you told me to do something, *_so I did something!_* you want something specific then fuckin say so next time, jeez!

I think Molly wanted Schmendrick to save the Unicorn, but at the time he couldn't control what form she would take, hence his saying "Magic, do as you will." It's likely that he thought that she'd turn into some other animal, like a bird or a deer, or something. Neither of them expected her to become human, though.

Moira Palace Molly likely wanted Schmendrick to use his magic to stop the Red Bull either by scaring it away by matching it with power or casting illusion magic to distract the bull from the unicorn not transform the unicorn against her will into a form she’d be unaccustomed with which is why Molly’s horrified when it does happen.

He gives her his cloak later.

She’s considered one of the most pure creatures in the world, and then suddenly become a human girl, being naked wasn’t her top priority

You didn’t feel weird by the nudity though ? It didn’t bother me, just caught me off guard (as well as the boob tree scene LOL) since it is rated G Were they just able to get away with more back then? I know ratings worked differently though

@@RB01.10 I didn't really pay attention to the nudity as a kid. It was just one of those things that went over my head, really, LOL!

I totally agree. Even though she never knew what human pain felt like, she needed it least learn that this is what being a mortal is like. I know turning into a whole different species would be awful, it least she can put her self in our shoes instead of like, “OH BOOHOO IM LIKE A MORTAL NOW 😭” like a spoiled demigod.

But Schmendrick literally says he could try transforming her into something else before doing it.

@@Jotari True. Still, somehow, her being made human seems more shocking. A talking (or at least unicorn/human level sentient) animal still retains a sense of the unworldly about it, plus whatever natural defenses the animal has. Whereas humanity is so fragile and ordinary -- as far as from a unicorn as can get -- that I can understand why Molly must've felt she saw the last bit of innocence and good magic in the world die in front of her. . Not that she doesn't later try to make Schmendrick leave Amalthea as human, lol, but her loyalty was to Amalthea/the Unicorn's happiness, above even her own sense of happiness at beholding a unicorn. . Although speaking of happiness, and to digress a bit... I still blame Molly a bit for Amalthea's troubles to begin with, in that the Unicorn owed no mere man her regard or even kindness, especially when he was trying to court her -- and nobody owes anyone a pity-date -- when the Unicorn was there on a mission; instead she should've keep her nose out of it (not her style, admittedly) or discouraged Lir. Amalthea might not've developed feelings for him if she'd never given him a chance. But then, I guess, the ending would've been different, and maybe a worse one of all unicorns lost forever, eh?

You're pretty bias what with being human though.
