If you're around my age, and sufficiently girly, you probably remember with fondness the animated feature The Last Unicorn, based on Peter S. Beagle's beautiful novel of the same name. The movie is a musical (you can only buy the CD in Europe, unless you import it, which I have done) with an incredible cast and truly inventive animation, particularly in comparison with most of the lousy stuff Disney puts out.

Now there is a new film of the book in development, with Beagle apparently doing the screenplay, and some of the original cast returning to reprise or take new roles. It appears to be a mix of live action and CGI, much like The Lord of the Rings.
