Hiya! The image you used for your post really sent me down a Wikipedia rabbit hole. First off, I'd never heard of The Last Unicorn--I'll have to check it out. But I had no idea those old Rankin/Bass stop-motion films were made in Japan, much less that they were directed by a guy who at one point ended up making films for the precursor to the modern People's Liberation Army! Also didn't know that the Ghibli folks cut their teeth doing 2D animation for Rankin/Bass as part of a studio called Topcraft
The Last Unicorn is a movie that has been embedded in my brain from childhood. I definitely want to re-watch it, but I still haven't found a version dubbed in the language that I watched it in as a child (I want to replicate the full experience).

FYI there's a book too and its just as good as the movie. I'm lowkey obsessed.
