    Where have you been? Where have you been?... And where were you 20 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!... It would be the last unicorn that came to Molly Grue.

  • The Voice Cast's Performance Underscores The Characters' Sadness And Regret on Random 'Last Unicorn' Is A Beloved Cartoon More Disturbing And Sad Than We Rememb

    (#13) The Voice Cast's Performance Underscores The Characters' Sadness And Regret

    The Last Unicorn is brought to life by a cast of voice actors that are as colorful and unique as they are melancholy. The title unicorn is played by Mia Farrow, who speaks in a gentle whisper. It's an eerily sad voice, making it sound almost as if something tragic is constantly happening to the unicorn.

    Alan Arkin voices the not-so-seasoned magician Schmendrick, who rarely casts powerful magic and mostly stays in the realm of party tricks. Although well known among other wizards, he's a traveler who is not very respected. He doesn't believe in his own powers, and his voice often shows his insecurities. Mommy Fortuna, the old witch he travels with, a raspy and vile example of magic gone wrong, is voiced by Angela Lansbury, and her incantations cackle over her decrepit cages she uses to capture the creatures of the forests.

    Jeff Bridges plays the hopelessly romantic Prince Lir, who sings a haunting duet about his love for the unicorn. His father, the sinister King Haggard, is voiced by Christopher Lee. His character's vocals go from harsh and shrill to psychotic and mumbly as he struggles to possess all the unicorns in existence.

  • The Soundtrack Is Full Of Wistful Story Songs on Random 'Last Unicorn' Is A Beloved Cartoon More Disturbing And Sad Than We Rememb

    (#14) The Soundtrack Is Full Of Wistful Story Songs

    The songs that lace the score of The Last Unicorn are fitting for its melancholy tone. The movie opens with the song "The Last Unicorn," performed by America. The lyrics of this song get straight to the point, describing the last of a magical species crying out as the earth crumbles away around her. 

    Even Prince Lir's song to the unicorn, which is supposed to be a proclamation of his love, has lyrics that paint a sad picture of him not being competent at both expressing and acting on his emotions. While he sings to her, she sees a unicorn, and she reaches out to touch it, singing along about how she's a woman now. It only serves to underscore the insurmountable differences between them.
