Now on to some spoilers.įirst of all, I think the only reason I “like” the movie now is for nostalgia purposes. Haggard has ordered that all unicorns be destroyed - for whatever reason - so Amalthea, Schmendrick, and Molly Grue must find out a way to defeat The Red Bull, overthrow King Haggard, and return the unicorns back to their former glory. The story follows along as the unicorn - later named as Amalthea - searches for other unicorns, who have been driven into the ocean by The Red Bull, who acts on the orders of King Haggard.

The Last Unicorn follows, well, a unicorn that is the last of her kind. ![]() ![]() Let’s talk about the book to movie comparison, shall we?
