249. The Last Unicorn directed by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr.

"Mare? MARE? I? A HORSE? Is THAT what you take me for? Is THAT what you see?" We watched "The Last Unicorn" all by our lonesome and we're still recovering from our 1980's dark fantasy streak. What was it about the energy of 1980's kids movies that just fascinated us at the same time as scare the living dickens out of us? This movie is filled with spooky imagery, dark themes and can be downright scary but like a ton of similar '80s kids movies - we just love it! Mia Farrow as the Unicorn and the Lady Amalthea gives an ethereal performance filled with sorrow and melancholy - you know, kids stuff. The beautiful character design and water color backgrounds reel us in, but creepy characters like Mommy Fortuna (voiced by the ICON Angela Lansbury) and the unforgettable harpy give us the creeps to this day. When the Red Bull attacks we're still on the edge of our seats. We discuss the lore of unicorns, and the reboots that haven't manage to materialize. We were My Little Pony boys for sure, so The Last Unicorn was practically made for us, but the fantastic and spooky imagery combined with the hippy-dippy soundtrack makes for classic '80s kids movies.  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Twitter: @MTMUGPod Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna
