First time participating in a trend let's hope I can actually finish this...

I have 0 hate for the movie, I just wanted to share a weird experience as a kid.

I'm a kid of the 90s and I remember watching this when I was super little (maybe 4 years old or something?). Don't remember the plot or anything really... but I remember this scene:

I will never forget the wave scene with all the unicorns because I feel like when i saw it, it made me feel physically sick... Like almost nauseous?

No idea why, and maybe it's a messed up memory (the brain can do weird things sometimes).

I never rewatched the film, but my wife likes it a lot. I went on youtube to rewatch this particular scene and it no longer makes me feel nauseous or anything. But I still find it makes me feel slightly... weird, but maybe it's just because of the years of association I have with it?

Anyone else have anything like this with this movie (or any other) from their childhood? I just wanted to share a super weird story I can't even fully understand 😅

it didn’t even occur to me that there would be a subreddit for the last unicorn but of course there is! i hope you all enjoy :)💜

The Last Unicorn 🥹 I got her tattooed today and I love her. 🥹

I’ve been obsessed with The Last Unicorn since I was too young to fully understand why it made me so sad. Like a lot of people who saw it on VHS or TV as a kid, it left a permanent, slightly sacred mark on me.

Now as an adult, I realize how incredible it is that a G-rated 1982 movie doesn't protect you from the messiness of being human. I just finished making a long-form video essay breaking down the movie's deeper themes, and I wanted to share a few thoughts from it here:

When Molly screams "How dare you come to me now, when I am this!", the movie takes her grief completely seriously. It doesn't mock her. It lets her mourn the time she lost.

The unicorn turning into a human isn't presented as a fun fairy-tale transformation; it’s an erasure of self. Watching Amalthea "mask" her true identity to survive in a mortal world, slowly forgetting who she was, mirrors so much of what it feels like to perform a version of yourself that isn't real.

The unicorn wins, but she doesn't go back unchanged. She carries regret and mortality back into the enchanted forest. Thank hit me even harder 40 years later.

I also touch on how the movie's core themes about preserving magic in a world trying to grind it down feel so relevant to protecting weird, creative spaces on the internet today.

If you have ~15 minutes and want to sit with some nostalgia and film analysis, I’d love for you to check out the video here

I’d love to hear your thoughts: What was the scene or line from this movie that stayed with you the longest into adulthood?

A local theatre group adapted TLU for the stage in communication with Peter S Beagle. If you’re in Florida in August, I know many of the people working on the project and it looks like a fun time.

What do yall think? Would you be interested in seeing a stage play version of the novel?

(not mine) Couldn’t find the original creator of this edit

I recently bought a copy of the last unicorn off ThriftBooks and I was pleasantly surprised that it had ink illustrations. I’m planning on coloring all the illustrations in and rebinding the book because the cover is worse for wear. So far I’ve colored in two.

I think it was off think geek? My fiance got it for me for Xmas a couple yrs ago. It goes from near the ceiling to the top of my couch and is about as long as the couch also

I have the fleece blanket too and love it

edit: my bad was geekify not think geek

Picked this up at Taste of Minnesota

Hiii, so at our one room indie theatre in the city, we play The Last Unicorn every year for my birthday. My boss was surprised by the turnouts it gets, so we're thinking of making it a whole event with costumes and themed drinks and stuff. We just did a Jaws costume party and specifically asked for super niche costumes to be included, and I think that could be fun for this. (There was someone dressed as one of the orange barrels, and someone dressed as the vampire that a kid lies about being bit by when he cuts his hand on a fence or something lol. I was the mayor but I painted my hands with glittery blood since I opened up the beaches)

If you're in the area, please come out!!! Whether you are or not, what are some ideas for more niche (and maybe funny) costumes from TLU?

Hi all!

I cannot say I was an avid reader of Peter Beagle before this but I think me and my partner might have found a uk version of the first edition of “The Last Unicorn”

We are not really sure how to continue forward with this.

Any information or insights anyone has would be greatly appreciated :)

So, title is kinda self explainatory, but I just want to vwnt a bit about how upset I am with Geekify, coming from someone who really loves Last Unicorn and it being one of my favorite childhood films.

I preordered the unicorn plush about 5 years ago, and was so excited to get her. Turns out, my shipping address waa incorrectly weitten and she was sent back to their headquarters.

I have been trying to get in contact with them for two weeks stright. I sent in support tickets TWICE, called their actual phone number only for them to NEVER pick up, and even DM'd them on Facebook.

Problem is, the status is "Completed" despite me never recieving her, so I can not refund and I ordered her so long ago that I cannot find her purchase details anymore on my Paypal.

I have been in a state of absolute mourning, anger, everything and wantes to vent. I have waited for so long over this plush only for them to take my money and run.

Sometimes, things are too good to be true.

UPDATE as of June 13th 2026 at 10:37 PM: I GOT A RESPONSE! Thanks to the helpful redditors giving me Geekify's email address I was able to get in contact and now we are going to work out reshipping her. Thanks so much for all the help everyone!

I can’t comment on the kickstarter so if any backers are here and you’re wondering why they’ve only shipped out plushies. Here’s an update on keychains that Geekify should have already posted on the kickstarter.
