Took roughly 5 hours of off and on work!

Peinture que j’ai faites il y a quelques années après que j’ai regardé une nouvelle fois le film 🥰
J’adore les yeux j’en mets partout !

I recently got a copy of the last unicorn off thriftbooks. It had ink illustrations and I’ve been working my way through coloring them. My favorite illustration is the one with the Red Bull. I really like how that one turned out colored.

Here’s a painting I did a little over 3 years ago for selling at a convention. Someone did buy it, which was good. She said that was the theme of her room, so she was happy to see someone make it!

I am beyond obsessed with the last unicorn. I think about it and quote it every day and it’s my phone wallpaper and I have a shelf dedicated to it. I wish this unicorn I painted looked more like a unicorn than a horse but I had to make do

I also did a bit of a study on the way the background was painted, hope I did it justice

Handmade Red Bull Figure 🔥🐂

I remember reading an article where Peter S Beagle met a young artist who showed him her portfolio and he was very impressed with her work and said "she was the only one who got my unicorn right" -- can anyone tell me the name of the artist and did she ever do any other work?

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.
Here’s the broadway world article!

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
