In the Method to Madness podcast, I’m joined with my good friend Kevin “The Business” Gray to discuss great anime and video games that you should be watching as well as ones you should feel ashamed you are watching.
This episode, we discuss…
The Last Unicorn
The Last Unicorn may or not be anime, but it is most definitely a fantastic movie.
We’re graced again by our dear friend, M for this episode. She and I El Kabong-ed Kevin, tied him to a dentist’s chair, and force-fed him his first taste of this movie. It could have been Stockholm syndrome, but he eventually came around to enjoy it as much as we. So much, that we decided to heat up the microphones and record another podcast.
You gents may be thinking, “This is the gayest thing I’ve ever heard of.” But let me be clear: this movie may get you laid. Bust out this DVD for your ladyfriend and her heart will swell with girlish ardor. Trust me; it will work better than any other movie in your library.
A bit of warning: The 25th Anniversary Edition of the DVD may have a remastered picture and extra bonus features, but some sacrifices have been made. To make the film more “kid-friendly”, several parts were removed due to barely PG-rated language. The original release of the DVD is barebones and has an inferior picture, though the film is more or less in tact. Choose wisely…
Behold! Lir...Prince of Fail.

Just a quick note: the original aspect ration for the film as listed on IMDB is 1.85 : 1, which is a widescreen format. Unlike other Rankin / Bass animations, which were made for TV, The Last Unicorn was released theatrically. I’m also reasonably sure from repeatedly viewings of both American DVD releases that there is more picture available in the 25th Anniversary edition. So I don’t think that version of the film is cropped.

You’re probably right… I might have been thinking of the 1986 Transformers movie. Either way, I’m buying the movie twice. :p
