Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSir Christopher Lee (King Haggard) showed up for the recording sessions armed with his own copy of the book, with several places marked to indicate things that must not, in his opinion, be omitted. This is similar to his behavior on The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) and its sequels in which he also showed up on set with his copy of the books, and was often a stickler for exact fidelity to the novels.
- GoofsThe horn that Mommy Fortuna created for the Unicorn glows and was located in front of the Unicorn's authentic horn. However, when when the Unicorn says "hurry!" to Schmendrick as he is unlocking her cage, we see that her authentic horn, not Mommy Fortuna's horn, is the one that's glowing.
- Quotes
Schmendrick the Magician: She will remember your heart when men are fairy tales in books written by rabbits. Of all unicorns, she is the only one who knows what regret is - and love.
- Alternate versionsBecause Lionsgate used the German video master for the 2007 25th Anniversary Edition DVD, not only does the film run at a 5% faster speed, but the German title appears under the English title at the start. Much of the swear words were also edited out in this release.

Featured review
An underrated classic
I saw this movie in theaters when I was a kid. I didn't see it again for the longest time until I found it on video recently. I rented it and was instantly reminded of what a wonderful movie this is. I bought my own copy a week later. It's one of the few book-to-movie translations that actually stays true to the spirit of the book. Probably due to the fact that Peter S. Beagle wrote the screenplay. A must-see. Gotta love that theme song!
