I think this is free with ads on YouTube.
Is it worth watching with a 750ml bottle of vodka and snacks?
Yes, but pay attention.
It's a fucking insane movie. Go for it. OP for once is right.
I think this is legit America's best song.
I still prefer the title song, but they're both great.
Honestly, most of their songs are great
NOOOOW THAT I'M A WOOOMAN
This is now a "how the fuck did this get marketed to kids" thread
Not even the best scene
Or how about being dying on camera
?t=127
(and that 90% of the crew is killed off in the first half hour)
It was the 80s, even R-rated movies got cartoons & toys for kids
Yeah, I had an ED-209 toy from one of the most brutal scenes of all time
dont forget the toxic avenger toy line
Scene related
Man I love the Great Mouse Detective.
The real “how did this get in” is the dancehall scene when the mouse woman sings about taking her clothes off.
Films with this kino: The Rescuers (also down under).
I like the Rescue Aid Society song, but this movie is really depressing.
It's about how the UN is going to save all the abused kiddies.
Down under was shit and an embarrassment to the original
secret of nihm for mouse rat kino
>haven't seen this movie since I was a kid 30 years ago
>still remember all of this
man, imagine all that lost potential for learning wasted on perfectly integrating kids' movies into permanent life-long memory instead of something useful
What exactly about this is not sutable for kids? Just the alcohol? Thats still pretty tane
>Moon rising, disguising lonely streets in gay displays
>The stars fade, the night shade falls and makes the world afraid
>It waits in silence for the sky to explode
>Here I am on Man's road
Fucking chills, man.
*Inhales*
>I'M ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!
>I'M ALIIIIIIII-IIIIIIIIIII-IIIIIIIIVE!
soundtrack was beyond great
>Do they knooooooooow
>Where do unicorns go?
>Where winged horses fly?
>Narwhales lost at sea and never seen again
and the harpy was a bitch!
>Oh, she'll kill me one day or another. But she will remember forever that I caught her; I held her prisoner. So there's my immortality, eh?
Great shit. Absolutely amazing.
I never noticed she had three tits until recently.
This used to be a family movie I’d watch with my siblings. I watched it when I was like 6 or 7 and I had nightmares afterwards, especially about the giant eagle that killed people, but the whole film was like a fever dream
I rented this on VHS as a kid.
Don't remember much except sometimes feeling sad and sometimes thinking somebody will try to hurt something I alone love.
Is the knight a fucking autist?
I give you dead thing, why no gf?
>find vhs in a box
>laugh with brother at gay unicorn movie
>dad walks in
>talks about how cool the unicorn movie is
>shrug
>pop it in
Dad was right again.
Your dad was right about you and your brother being gay?
the thing that gets me is when unicorn turns human and imediately starts talking about feeling herself dying, and then later when they're changing her back into a unicorn she is crying and protesting she doesn't want to go back
pure woman.
I know. She wanted her snatch poked I guess. But nothign is stopping the knight from doing it still... unicorn pussy.
Ngl I’d 100% fuck some unicorn pussy especially if the bitch can talk. Imagine the bragging rights
he HAAAAWWh
I mean, they did not skimp on giving her a fat fucking horse ass
yeah, it's almost like they were writing about the duality of man or something
Kinda how i felt going into When The Wind Blows.
>oh nice! an animated film about an elderly couple with David Bowie and Roger Waters on the soundtrack!
>oh wow...i wanna die after watching that
Oh shit, that sounds great.
>Nudity will ruin a kid
Bro... Nice bait.
I turned this shit on for my five year old and had to turn it off. It's not for little kids full on harpy titties and almost naked magic unicorn lady boobs and fuck man what a dreadful plot so fucked. I mean I liked it but this was before proper ratings on films.
did your little boy wanna suckle some harpy titty?
>did your little boy wanna suckle some harpy titty?
i'm sure the mother is around somewhere
you're whipped bro, afraid of the old lady
>this was before proper ratings on films.
There was always "proper" ratings. Just for a long time there was only two ratings, then there was three, then they made four. They always knew what "adult" content was, but they could never figure out what was appropriate for everyone else.
Also people were way less stingy about "adult" things in general back then and didn't mind that your kid's movie was full of innuendo, violence, and existential dread.
>Also people were way less stingy about "adult" things in general back then and didn't mind that your kid's movie was full of innuendo, violence, and existential dread.
They were less stingy about adult concept in a fairy tale moral sense. They were more stingy with sex. Now it's have all the tits you want but you better not think too hard.
Well, back then they certainly could better tell the difference between artistic nudity and sexuality. But generally even stuff that was technically meant for kids and families could get away with a lot more stuff than they can nowadays.
>NOOOOOO WHERE ARE THE FART JOKES THE PEEPEE POOPOO LE FUNNY RANDUMB JOKES FOR KIDS
I watched this when I was 5 or 6 and the Red Bull scared the everloving shit out of me, rest of the film was fine. I saw harpy tits and almost nude human chick but so what, left no impression
> the Red Bull scared the everloving shit out of me
You too? I saw it in the theater when I was just barely four, and that's really the only thing I remember about it. I haven't even seen it again. Probably should for the 40th anniversary.
>almost naked magic unicorn lady boobs
I can't imagine what you thought of Gandahar
i guess youre american.
People like you made the west as fucking gay as it is. You better not complain about trannies or any sort of progressivism because you’re one of them fat. Your kids are going to be fucking pussies
I don't know what this is, but those eyes..
Go watch it, then go watch Unico the Unicorn
Unico is also depressing.
Not as depressing as Ringing Bell, as long as we're talking about sad children's movies.
do you guys remember watching this shit as a kid? this terrified me. so did velveteen rabbit.
Never saw it, but Velveteen rabbit upset me.
Unico is too batshit to get depressed about. it fucks with you as a kid but it doesn't actually have much for older people unlike OP. same for sea prince + fire child.
>take this, I don't need it anymore
>the last unicorn
kino animation that is no longer made
>What I got: An ineffable sense of forlorn longing and existential dread.
because they really knew how to make stories with fucking impact in the 80s. Brilliant film
i see the unicorn emoji often on dating apps and fetish sites, but what does it mean?
I too would like to know this. I dated a girl with a unicorn emoji tattooed on her ass. She never told me what it meant but she was a huge slut so I can only imagine
>No, it can't be. Can it be? Where have you been? Where have you been? Damn you! Where have you been?
>And where were you twenty years ago? Ten years ago? Where were you when I was new? When I was one of those innocent young maidens you always come to? How dare you! How dare you come to me now, when I am this!
This just reminds me of my wasted youth.
>wanted to stay pure for the unicorns
....bros...
Molly is my favorite character. Her design and voice really just sells her as this jaded woman who is breaking down over the fact that her childhood fantasies only came true long after she gave up on them
>Molly Grue: Then what is magic for? What is the use of wizardry if it cannot even save a unicorn?
>Schmendrick: That's what heroes are for.
>Lír: Of course — that is exactly what heroes are for.
Shaped my fucking life.
Fuck you, I'm getting too close. I might rewatch the goddamn movie.
I wanted to hate it because its about faggy unicorns but damn, it's a baller.
It has fucking Odo from DS9 as a drunk skeleton.
?t=264
That skeleton was fucking scary and funny.
Same here, and I watched it in the 1980s. It may be a small contributor to why I'm so fucked up today.
You are the last!
>watch a movie as a child
>it still impacts you to this day
>mfw "people" think this is a bad thing, and would rather have children watch 3d cartoons made by a demented asian with a sweatshop
I watched this film for the first time this year, as a 30-year-old adult, on a friend’s recommendation and I was an emotional husk by the end of it. It’s extremely powerful for a children’s animated film, it touches on themes and ideas that kids wouldn’t be allowed within 500 feet of nowadays for fear of incepting independent thought, and has some top-quality production values and aesthetics courtesy of a team of Japanese animation legends.
>What I got: An ineffable sense of forlorn longing and existential dread.
I don't trust anyone that says this shit anymore. Because literally everyone said it about "made in abyss" and what i got with that was a terrible, generirc and horribly written shounen with some underage girl piss fetish scene for tacked on for absolute weirdos
Christopher Lee vouched for Last Unicorn. He liked it so much he did the German dub for free.
It doesn't give you dread, but it is a remarkably touching film with some excellent music that takes a lot of turns (not twists, necessarily) you wouldn't expect
Yep.
I watched this when I was about eight or so in the 80s.
It mindfucked me for years.
It's over thirty years later, and I can still remember watching it, staring intently, in a giant house on VHS in a room, by myself, during a family reunion.
Dozens of cousins running around outside, around 11 at night, aunts and uncles getting drunk and and likely a little bit high. It was late summer, and probably 75 degrees or so outside, we had a huge cookout with burgers, hotdogs, beer, oysters, mounds of chips.
The tape was my cousins, she was a year older than me, and her little brother was same age I was, and we hung out, but he said he didn't want to watch it because he had already seen it a bunch.
This movie blew my frigging mind as a kid.
I've seen it a few times since, tryin g to recapture that feeling, but like any good drug, it never happens. I just feel a ghost of it.
I have not tried rewatching while drunk. It may be a thing to try.
reading that took me back to the time i watched a scooby doo movie at my dad's friend's family's house when i was really little. family went over there to hang out with them. i also remember ninja turtles on their SNES and a toy story computer game.
The same studio did the hobbit cartoon which is my mothers favorite
The animation here is Studio Topcraft, before they became Ghibli.
Topcraft would actually split into three companies after the blockbuster hit of Nausicaa.
They became Studio Ghibli, Gainax, and Pacific Animation Corporation (which would end up animating more Rankin/Bass shows before they got bought by Disney and turned into Walt Disney Animation Japan, responsible for many direct-to-video sequels).
There's actually a funny situation in 1997 when each studio had a movie that year. WDAJ had Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin, Gainax had The End of Evangelion, and Ghibli had Princess Mononoke.
>characters that you are slowly becoming
>Each time I see the shitposts, MY shitposts, it is like that morning before the newfags, and I am truly young, in spite of myself.
>a masterful thread has no made me happy. I will see what a bait one can do.
Kek
What was his problem?
>I know you! I almost knew you as soon as I saw you on the road coming to my door. Since then, there is no movement of yours that has not betrayed you! A pace, a glance, a turn of the head, the flash of your throat as you breathe... even your way of standing perfectly still — they were all my spies!
A 40-year-old children's movie has better dialogue and more thoughtful characterization than House of The Dragon or Rings of Power.
That because it wasn’t written by millennials.
Is there one millennial writer, anywhere, who touches the quality of the previous generations? Just one, bro.
No, and I blame Joss Whedon.
>Lir? He's none of mine. I picked him up on a doorstep where some peasant had left him. I was thinking that I had never been happy, and never had a son. It was pleasant at first, but it died quickly.
>become bored with life and start obsessing with the only thing that made him happy
>keep chasing that last high and rejects everyone around him in the process
>has turned into a bitter husk of his former self
Wow, he is literally me.
>I've had time to write a book
>About the way you act and look
>But I haven't got a paragraph
>Words are always getting in my way
>Anyway, I love you
>That's all I have to tell you
>That's all I've got to say
The skeleton was based
>go over to girl's house for date
>talks about how this is one of her favorite movies
>thinking holy shit this is cringe
>I don't really want to watch a unicorn movie
>watching on 15" CRT in the dark
>cat comes in and takes that nastiest smelling shit in litterbox
>half drunk
>everytime I see this movie, it's conjures trippy cat shit
>Fun animated fantasy movie.
>from the 50s
there is a sequel
she finds him and he gets injured by a monster and she lets him die and she cries
there is no rest from this nightmarish hell
The book is amazing tho
never got around to watching the movie
The book was written in the 60s, not the 50s.
What about this one?
Isn't that just Rockefeller propaganda about their poorly conceived rat experiments done by Calhoun and others?
No. It’s way, way better than just that.
Its just a coincidence it is named after the national institute of mental health who were involved with rat utopia experiments?
Definitely not just a coincidence but it doesn't glorify it in the slightest, it's pretty grim
It was specifically a grim set of experiments trying to prove behavioral sink so they could justify forced depopulation.
Yeah.
The movie isn’t even that sad, but it leaves you uneasy. It depresses me to watch it as an adult, as if it makes me remember something I lost when ai grew up. It’s the shity music
>I’m alive
>mans road
I rewatched this movie recently and I forgot they showed the unicorn girl's nude butt.
Anyone got a still?
unicorns are monsters
maybe the real monsters were the unicorns we made along the way
Bull, pls go
I could have sworn they were considered cryptid monsters, but the searches are inconclusive.
It is an extraordinary character the king, a tragic figure like King Lear and it is a little bit like Shakespeare.
But I must also explain to you like earlier, this film is like you would say in German "ein Traum" (a dream) and also "der Glaube" (faith), "die Hoffnung" (hope), "die Liebe"( love). It is everything for everybody.
?t=151
And you're "eine Schwuchtel" (a gay).
>Christopher Lee doing the german voiceover
just how based can a single human being be?
Fucking amazing
I always think I have an early childhood memory of seeing this, but it was actually pic related.
Fucked me up.
This is a good rundown:
https://gizmodo.com/no-question-unico-is-the-most-horrifying-childrens-mov-1684066444
Oh, didn't see it was already mentioned. Yeah, not so much depressing as it is alarming for a kid. What the article aptly calls "anguish porn."
There are actually two Unico movies.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083258/
We all do, friend.
We all do.
You guys made me interested, I always thought this was a gay movie for girls, you're making it sound it's awesome.
Judge for yourself.
It's for Medieval art lovers.
It's extremely melancholy and is actually all about death and immortality and the loss of innocence
Friendly reminder The Last Unicorn was made by Rankin and Bass. The same company that made the claymation Rudolph films.
Absolutely based.
>Well I wish I didn't care! I wish to God I didn't care about anything but my magic! But I do! I do.
Literally me.
This is probably the only movie I've ever seen that does a male-female friendship legitimately well, with regards to Schmendrick and The Unicorn
Saw this flick as a very young child and almost everything scared me. The witch, her weird zoo, the harpy, the red bull, the talking skellington
>Haggard, I would not be you for all the world. You have let your doom in by the front door, but it will not depart that way! Farewell, poor Haggard!
Mommy fortunas brother.
Is that from the book?
No idea never read it. He just looks like a male version of mommy for me.
Unicorns aren't real dumbass lol
>He doesn't know
what the fuck was his problem?
Unironically schizophrenia. If you read into what's he's saying, he gives away the twist early.
>The king is in his counting house! Counting, counting, counting!
What is he counting? Unicorns.
It's also somewhat sad to hear him struggle to get the actual advice out. He does legitimately sound trapped in his own sporadic thoughts.
>Listen! Don't listen to me! Listen!
It's a cartoon for girls and gays and tv is full of gays that have never touched grass so it's popular here.
Ugly broads.
>It would be the last unicorn in the world that came to Molly Grue.
I like Flight of Dragons better. But TLU is high kino as well.
It's one of the very few films that will actually make me cry. I watched it all the time as a kid but didn't really understand it; now as an adult it hits hard.
Same. I saw it on TV one day during summer break when i was six or seven but I didn't really get it until I saw it again in college
Fuck yeah this was one of the most memorable movies of my childhood.
Started my love of fantasy and introduced me to America.
oh god I'm engaged to a douglas fir
