Good does conquer evil, but in that triumph there are so very many regrets. The Last Unicorn, so very much on my other hand, ends on the bitter side of that sweet. Howsomever, The Princess Bride, in all of its wonderfulness, has a happy ending – no matter how much it middles in some very dark places. If you loved one I think you’ll love the other. They use language and fantasy in similar ways and both are awesome. There is something about The Last Unicorn that does remind me of The Princess Bride that I can’t quite put into words, but is still true. The whole is so very much greater than the short summary of its parts. It’s a completely true statement that manages to leave out all the important bits as well as all the things that make the story so great and wonderful and so much worth reading and/or seeing. But saying that is like saying that The Princess Bride is a romance. In other words, the short and bittersweet summation is that The Last Unicorn is a quest story.
A unicorn, happy alone in her special forest, hears from a passing human that all the unicorns are gone, and she realizes that she’s the last one left.
The story of The Last Unicorn can be summed up simply. but she feared even her immortal wisdom meant nothing in a world where a mad king's curse and terror incarnate lived only to stalk the last unicorn to her doom. But outside her wondrous realm, dark whispers and rumours carried a message she could not ignore: "Unicorns are gone from the world."Īided by a bumbling magician and an indomitable spinster, she set out to learn the truth. Maidens who caught a glimpse of her glory were blessed by enchantment they would never forget. The unicorn had lived since before memory in a forest where death could touch nothing. She was magical, beautiful beyond belief-and completely alone.
