The Last Unicorn (1982)
Directed by Arthur Rankin Jr.
A unicorn learns from a riddle-speaking butterfly that she is supposedly the last of her kind, all the others having been herded away by the monstrous Red Bull. The unicorn sets out to discover the truth behind the butterfly's words. She is eventually joined on her quest by Schmendrick, a second-rate magician, and Molly Grue, a middle-aged woman who dreamed all her life of seeing a unicorn. Their journey leads them far from home, all the way to the castle of King Haggard.

What critics compared The Last Unicorn to
I loved the deeply sad and surprisingly disturbing animated children’s film The Last Unicorn.
Peter S. Beagle warned us in his novel The Last Unicorn prior to it being made into the 1982 animated classic…
There are moments between Sisu and Namaari that remind me of the relationship between Molly Grue and the unicorn in The Last Unicorn.
