My all-time favorite film and one of my top ten of all time. I know so many people who refuse to believe me that this is a great movie. The Last Unicorn will always hold a really special spot in my heart!
I first saw it on a laser disk. Lol. Watched it about a 100 times as a kid and then laser disk technology was abandonned for the VHS... then I spent 20 years looking for a VHS copy. It was pre-easy buying on internet days so I had to actually go shopping and look. Anyway, eventually found it. Gotta admit, first time I heard the music again I teared up.
i remember crying after watching "The Last Unicorn" when i was a kid. i love this song totally much, reminded me of my childhood in the 80s. from there on, i started to listen to America.
I was 4 years old in 1982, and this movie was my life then. 💕🦄 I must have driven my parents completely mad asking them to watch this 100x a week easily. Awe, memories. ✌️💛✨
I was 3 years old and I have loved this movie. My mother hated when I watched it cuz I would bawl my eyes out for the rest of the day. But still love it to this day.
Getting old is kind of sad... When I am listening to childhood songs like that I am happy and getting chills... But I also could cry and I wish that I would be a little child again. My childhood was great thank you mum.
my art history teacher showed my class a tapesitry called "Hunt of the Unicorn", and I realized it (along with other tapestries in the series) is used in the opening credits for "The Last Unicorn". It made me think about this song
Эта серия шпалер поразительна и не имеет авторства. Настоящая магия, создать такие объемные и красивые работы, но так и не оставить следов, кто были люди вложившие в них тяжелый кропотливый труд.
Ich war bereits 13 als ich mir den Film in einer Bücherei als VHS Kassette ausgeliehen habe. Aber die Magie war immer noch da. Hatte ihn nun meiner kleinen Tochter gezeigt, eine sehr emotionale und wundervolle Geschichte. Der Soundtrack ist unsterblich.

Muchas gracias por tan excelente información.Es también de mis películas y canción favoritas.?Un saludo afectuoso y agradecido desde Zacatecas, Zacatecas, Mexico.
one of the best songs ever made! gives me goosebumps since i first saw the movie 3 decades ago. thank you so much america for moving me time and time again and making me tear up with joy
es la pelicula que marco mi infancia, y ahora de adulto, la veo siempre 4 o 5 veces en el año, y tambien se la presente a mi hijo que ahora tiene 6 y tambien fue capturado por la magia, la inocencia de esa maravillosa pelicula. Su musica es parte de la banda sonora de mi vida y la novela para mi es lo mas grande.
Me and my sister did, too. Eventually, it got lost somehow. And I still distinctly remember the two of us searching everywhere for it. We were probably like 7-9. I never forgot the movie, though. And years later, in my sophomore year of highschool, I went to my friend's house to spend the night and found out she had it on DVD! We watched it that same night. Now, of course, you can watch it online easily. But back then, it was super obscure.
This beautiful song just came to my attention and now I am so in love with this. AMERICA, you deserve a standing ovation for this wonderful performance! BRAVO!
I have always loved the band America, I used to play their songs in the morning as I got ready for school it was only recently did I realize they did the music and songs for the Last Unicorn, one of Rankin Bass's greatest animated features and one of my favourite old time movies. the music really made the piece so much better especially this amazing intro song, really sets up a world of magic and unicorns in my mind, I watch this movie a lot, makes me feel like I've come home again after a trip.
I grew up watching this move in the early and late 2000s and just rewatched it after over 10 years and I guess 6 year old me and 18 year old me still like the same things after all
Wauhh America das es euch noch gibt wusste ich nicht macht weiter einer der besten kindheitserinnerung die es bei mir gab . Einfach hinlegen und genissen. Der Song erweckt Erinnerungen und wird nie langweilig. Grüsse an Felor Badenberg nach Köln Der song hatt mich später immer an dich erinnert.
Cannot press the replay button enough times. My favorite films as a child were The Last Unicorn, and The Little Mermaid. Yep, I'm a dreamer. Thanks for posting this one, lovely live performance. I finally got TLU on dvd, and just watched it w/ my mom... ah, the memories. :D
Jedes Jahr schaue ich mir diesen Film an und dieser Film und dessen Soundtrack will nicht altern. Das ist einer der ultra wenigen Animes, der heute noch genauso gut funktioniert wie damals. Der Soundtrack ist einfach der Hammer und der Film ebenfalls.
Now i remembered the Movie.. it was my childhood movie cartoon too.. i would always ask my mom to play this cartoon and i would watch it quietly.. I love this cartoon The Last Unicorn.. Bring back the memories..
Text When the last eagle flies over the last crumbling mountain And the last lion roars at the last dusty fountain In the shadow of the forest though she may be old and worn They will stare unbelieving at the last unicorn When the first breath of winter through the flowers is icing And you look to the north and a pale moon is rising And it seems like all is dying and would leave the world to mourn In the distance hear the laughter of the last unicorn I'm alive, I'm alive When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning And the future has passed without even a last desperate warning Then look into the sky where through the clouds a path is torn Look and see her how she sparkles, it's the last unicorn I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm only twelve, I watched this movie, and it was amazing. The animation for the movie is kinda weird, it's not absolutely trash, but it's pretty good, and this music makes it so much better! I can now learn to appreciate music that's not from my time period. This is a good song. :) :3
I like the Film (Movie) to this song (The last Unicorn, with the Voices of Mia Farrow, Alan Arkin, Angela Lansbury, Christopher Lee, Jeff Bridges Tammy Grimes and Nellie Bellflower!)
of course this is no match for their original version, but nice to know the band knows and appreciates their work pretaining to this song, which has made me cry, laugh and comtemplate life. Its a powerful song
I've cried every single time when I've watched this movie as a child...
My all-time favorite film and one of my top ten of all time. I know so many people who refuse to believe me that this is a great movie. The Last Unicorn will always hold a really special spot in my heart!
Same!
Hell yeah bro I even grew up watching it on the VHS tape cope my family had. A true childhood classic to me. 💯
Try reading the book if you have not already. Fantastic
I first saw it on a laser disk. Lol. Watched it about a 100 times as a kid and then laser disk technology was abandonned for the VHS... then I spent 20 years looking for a VHS copy. It was pre-easy buying on internet days so I had to actually go shopping and look. Anyway, eventually found it. Gotta admit, first time I heard the music again I teared up.
Your favorite of all time or in your top ten of all time. I'm confused.
"Das letzte Einhorn" ist meiner Meinung nach der schönste Zeichentrickfilm, den es gibt! Und diese Version klingt so kunstvoll! Toller Song!
i remember crying after watching "The Last Unicorn" when i was a kid. i love this song totally much, reminded me of my childhood in the 80s. from there on, i started to listen to America.
So in love with this song, everytime I listen to it I am transported back to being about 5 years old.

BGZ of course amazing song legend wowwwe 😍
That song writh ,my life till the end ....
Me too! ❤ I had the vhs of this film and I watched at it everytime. The song still make me cry... 😄

Nice. VHS is a loooong time ago ^^
I was 4 years old in 1982, and this movie was my life then. 💕🦄 I must have driven my parents completely mad asking them to watch this 100x a week easily. Awe, memories. ✌️💛✨
Me too !!!! 💙💙💚💚😪😪
Me 3
I was 9...made my parents take me to thetre twice to see it!
I was 5, only a year older than you, & I did the same thing. I was obsessed with this movie & song. Lol
I was 3 years old and I have loved this movie. My mother hated when I watched it cuz I would bawl my eyes out for the rest of the day. But still love it to this day.
A special song, there aren’t many that touch my soul like this 🦄💔
Getting old is kind of sad...
When I am listening to childhood songs like that I am happy and getting chills... But I also could cry and I wish that I would be a little child again. My childhood was great thank you mum.
Hermosos recuerdos para una vida humana. Recuerda vivir. Disfruta cada instante. Tu corazón de niño siempre existirá dentro de ti.
my art history teacher showed my class a tapesitry called "Hunt of the Unicorn", and I realized it (along with other tapestries in the series) is used in the opening credits for "The Last Unicorn". It made me think about this song
That's awesome. I never knew the name of the piece shown the in movie but now I'm gonna see if there is a version on Amazon. It was beautiful.

My goodness. My heart. Bawling my damn eyes out.

It's cool to see a live version of this beautiful song

I was 11 when this movie came out. I just watched it 2022 and I'm much older now. Will forever be one of my favorites!
It's as beautiful as when they first did it for the film.
Mit diesem Song verbinde ich denn schönsten Film meiner Kindheit....
*seufz*
Just the first verse gave me chills! It's a different quality than the movie version but it's a great quality
es la pelicula que marco mi infancia, y ahora de adulto, la veo siempre 4 o 5 veces en el año, y tambien se la presente a mi hijo que ahora tiene 6 y tambien fue capturado por la magia, la inocencia de esa maravillosa pelicula. Su musica es parte de la banda sonora de mi vida y la novela para mi es lo mas grande.
What a beautiful song of the ages... It's really a masterpiece!!
One of the most Beautiful songs I've ever heard
what a beautiful song..melodious and subtle..Gerry sings it beautifully!! Just love him and his songs!!! very nice blend of voices indeed!!
It’s such a blessing for the soul having the opportunity to travel through time with the power of music 🙏🏼♥️
they picked the best band to sing this song
Wow, they hit every note effortlessly! Truly one of the most beautiful songs ever conducted!
Oh I had this movie on VHS when I was a kid. My sis and I watched the shite out of it.
I also had the movie on VHS back in the early 90's and I now have the movie on DVD
Me and my sister did, too. Eventually, it got lost somehow. And I still distinctly remember the two of us searching everywhere for it. We were probably like 7-9. I never forgot the movie, though.

Mit dieser Musik in den Ohren konnte ich früher als kleines Kind immer einschlafen,
War mein Lieblingsfilm damals🥰❤
This beautiful song just came to my attention and now I am so in love with this. AMERICA, you deserve a standing ovation for this wonderful performance! BRAVO!
America is one of my favorite bands of popular music of all time. The Last Unicorn 🦄 is one of my all time favorite songs.
Das schönste Lied das die Erde je erfunden hat ! Traumhaft schön !

i cryed to it in the 90s.. i cry to it now!

Same
Yup
Me too I touched my all fibers

I am still surprised, with how much the Unicorn is beloved throughout the world, that Hollywood hasn't had made more than just a handful of movies.
spirittammyk they would just fuck it up
I grew up watching this move in the early and late 2000s and just rewatched it after over 10 years and I guess 6 year old me and 18 year old me still like the same things after all

Love this song so much!!! Masterpiece which makes me fly (not to say "cry") :)))
Hey Power guys.. der Song ist legendär 😊😊
Watching the movie now! It takes me back when my dad was stationed in Germany in the 80's
I know it's a team effort, (artists, writers, actors, and musicians), but that movie would have been NOTHING without this song! :D
Text
When the last eagle flies
over the last crumbling mountain
And the last lion roars at the last dusty fountain
In the shadow of the forest though she may be old and worn
They will stare unbelieving at the last unicorn
When the first breath of winter
through the flowers is icing
And you look to the north and a pale moon is rising
And it seems like all is dying and would leave the world to mourn In the distance
hear the laughter of the
last unicorn
I'm alive, I'm alive
When the last moon is cast
over the last star of morning
And the future has passed without even a last desperate warning
Then look into the sky where through the clouds a path is torn
Look and see her how she sparkles, it's the last unicorn
I'm alive, I'm alive
DAMN! .... He STILL sounds awesome... and tis LIVE! SWEETNESS!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
Oh my Gerry !! How I love you. You're magic. Just perfect ! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Der beste Song aller Zeiten und mich berührt es jedesmal ihn zu hören Amerika einfach nur spitze
America is the best. ✨💖🦄

The animation was done by Rankin/Bass studios they had a "unique" look to their stuff.

Crazy how they are "america" and this speaks to me as if it were a metaphor for these times and "America" being the last "Unicorn" .
