The last unicorn, whose beauty and existence transcend time, leaves the forest the moment she learns that no one else of her kind remains in the world. Directed by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr., this animated film goes far beyond a typical fantasy tale, drawing the viewer into a melancholic quest. A novice wizard and a stern-eyed woman who join him on his journey share in this ancient sorrow. They make their way to the darkest corner of a realm where magic is fading—King Haggard’s castle.
