The Last Unicorn (1982)


An animated fantasy by Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules bass, starring Christopher Lee, with music by America.
A lonely unicorn leaves her forest to search for others like her. She is captured by a freak show and along with the show's wizard, she escapes. They travel together to the kingdom where the red bull has chased all of the other unicorns away.
Rankin and Bass make some cool films, but there's always something REALLY hokey in them. In this one, there were a couple of musical numbers that seemed forced and didn't sound right. There was also a pirate cat, complete with eye patch and peg leg. The animation style makes up for any shortcomings. I'm rating this good.
