Description
“The Last Unicorn” came out in 1982. I was 6 years old when I last saw it. Now a mere 3 days from my thirtieth birthday, I watched it again.This was a formative movie for me. I was almost afraid to watch it again, fearing I would be disappointed and all those magical feelings I had while watching it as a girl would be dispelled and somehow lessened. It wasn’t the case though and I enjoyed it as much as ever. I realize too how much this movie influences me even today, especially in my art, I recognize my Farfalla character having many similar characteristics to the unicorn character in the movie.
So I had to do a bit of fanart for this great film, this is my own version of the part of story where the unicorn hears for the first time of the redbull and how it herded all the unicorns into the sea. I really couldn’t stand that annoying little moth/butterfly character and thought that cool, creepy owl from “The Secret of Nimh” would have been much better in the role. Anyways, it’s my picture, I can make happen whatever I’d like to happen. Nyah! ^_^
And yay for making art again, I never have time for it these days.

Wow, this is just amazing! I used to friggin love this movie when I was little. I actually thought this was a screenshot from the movie the first time I saw it. The style of this drawing really brings out the animation of the original movie. Good work!

The lone unicorn walked up to the old owl and asked.
"Where are others like me? Surely you most know."

"Doesn't it kind of suck that both of our movies together made less than 20% of 'Home on the Range's earnings, and Studio Ghibli's dullest movie is STILL more acclaimed than ours?"
"Don't remind me... I'm still unhappy about the fact everyone remembers Rankin-Bass putting out crappy-made Christmas specials and loves them, but mention my movie and everyone goes 'huh'?"

I haven't seen the show in more than 10 years and I'm gonna watch it real soon ^^ It's one of my favorite fantasy movies and I love the songs America sings. I love the art in this drawing. At first, you had me confused with the owl from The Secret of Nimh but after reading the descriptions, I understand now.

Re-watching The Last Unicorn for the 25th anniversary release honestly brought tears to my eyes. In that opening song by America. I was so shocked, I didn't know what to think. Like you said, all the memories and magic flooded back to me. It was beautiful. Thanks for this!

I totally love the owl from Nimh better than the butterfly. The butterfly was just an extra annoying character for me, he didn't really have any effect on how the movie turned out.
Nice artwork, I loved it!

They could never have used the NIMH owl in The Last Unicorn anyway. Copyright issues. Plus I doubt the writer of The Last Unicorn would have liked the butterfly character to be replaced by another.

These are my all time favorite movies from childhood. The contrast between the unicorn and the great owl is fantastic. And I hated that butterfly too xD

Nice picture. I never watched it, wats it about?

It's about a unicorn who is the last of her species from some evil king imprisoning them all (I might be wrong about that, it's been a few years since I saw the movie) But anyway, the unicorn leaves her home to find the rest of her fellow unicorns and defeat the evil king.
As I said, I might be wrong about a whole lot of that because I haven't watched the movie in so long.

I thought it was a unicorn that's the last of its species.

Then I'm just staying out of this conversation now, because it isn't my fault that you don't want to watch an amazing movie that many people enjoy in childhood and adult life.

I watched "The Last Unicorn" when I was a little girl too, I'm now 18 and I still watch it every weekend. It's where I got my love of unicorns ^_^ great job! And I like the creepy owl in this role too. I strongly disliked the butterfly/moth thing as well. Amazing art. I love the way she looks too <3

I absolutely love it. I have to say the butterfly was cute...but yes, a bit odd, something more 'mystical' would have been great in its place

I used to watch this movie as a kid, like 8 or 9 years old. Never actually understood it but I liked it anyways. Watched it again about a year ago, and it hit harder than ever. As a 25 year old man, I realized this is one of 2 movies that had the ability to make me tear up.
Awesome art, keep it up!
