Unless this has a commentary and a ton of other supplements, what's the point? The earlier Hallmark Blu-ray looks just fine.

The current Blu-ray does have a wonderful commentary with Peter S. Beagle, the original author of the book and screenwriter for the movie and his primary publisher, Connor Cochran.


They have toured the film together now for years, selling the books and autographing items for fans. They are a great pair.


It may be that various rights have changed hands, including distribution. Related to this, when I asked them about a rumored live-action remake a year ago at a screening, they mentioned that the rights might lapse, making it possible for them to make the film they want to make.

I met Peter Beagle and Connor Cochran twice last year, and they are indeed wonderful people. Peter Signed many items for me, and when I told him how much I loved the movie... well, he's heard it a thousand times but he WANTED to hear my story. He's such an amazing author. I'll buy this film simply to support Peter and Connor.


I would hope the Blu Ray has more bonus features, and I pray for one day to have a live-action version made... but to get the live action version, one must support the previous film. And I'm willing to go the extra mile!

From what I understand, the source for this release is the recent 2K restoration that's been shown during the recent "Screening Tour." So it is at least a different master than what was used for the Lionsgate BD.


What I want to know, though, is will it contain both cuts of the film? I've been hoping for years that someone would release a disc that contained both the US theatrical version (which, to my knowledge, has never been released on video) and the extended cut that's always been the de facto video release. I've also always wondered why there were two different cuts in the first place.


(Also, I'm not talking about the censoring that was done for the 25th Anniversary DVD; that's a different matter.)

1) On 3/1/2015 all roadblocks to making a live-action film deal for The Last Unicorn went away.

2) ITV and Avicenna Development Corporation (Peter's intellectual property company) have agreed to put all their respective Last Unicorn rights together into a single unified platform that will be jointly owned and managed — finally reunifying what was split up so horribly by the original film deal in 1978.

3) While that's being done, Connor has the go-ahead to begin Hollywood negotiations on behalf of both companies..

4) Talks with several interested studios and producers are now under way.

And Peter...Peter is bloody thrilled, of course.

More news on this as it breaks!

Excellent! Connor was very funny when I asked about the live action film, asked us to keep quiet less the person who (at the time) held the rights started production which would have stopped them.


This is great news and a new reason to re-purchase the Blu-ray, though I am keeping my current copy which Peter signed for me along with a pile of books I bought at the show, because, like you, I found him to be humble, wise, and amazing... and worthy of my ongoing financial support.


I always liked this movie, but after meeting him, I love it.

They've been hinting this big news for MONTHS and I had not seen this yet.


Here's to hoping the film tour, which has been in Portland three times, makes another visit.
