[[Big Bad|The Lord of Darkness]] plots to cover the world in eternal night. He sends his servant, the goblin Blix, to kill the light-bringing unicorns and take their horns. The unicorns only appear before the pure of heart, so a lure must be used. Enter Jack and Princess Lily, pure denizens of the forest. When the stallion is killed, Jack and Lily are separated as snowstorms envelop the world. She and the mare are captured by the forces of Darkness, and he must band together with the woodland fairies to rescue her.

* [[Evil Overlord]]: Darkness.

* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]

* [[Exploring the Evil Lair]]

* [[Exposition of Immortality]]: Darkness, during the ending fight with Jack, boasts about how he's been here since the beginning, because there's no Light without Darkness.

'''Brown Tom:''' I'm not the one you should be askin'.<br />

'''Lily:''' Try and understand. I'm only trying to make things right. Darkness has sent the goblins back for the mare. It's not safe to stay here. You'll have to hurry! Leave now! Go! }}

* [[Nature Hero]]/[[Wild Child]]: Jack. He's not given a lot of context.

* [[Neck Lift]]: Done by Darkness to Jack, but by grabbing his ''face''.

* [[Pig Man]]: Pox. One is also seen in the dungeons.

* [[Princess Classic]]

* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: In this case a unicorn horn, but the same principle.

* [[The Time of Myths]]

* [[Ultimate Evil]]: The disembodied voice that helps Darkness seduce Lily, presumably the being he calls [[Bigger Bad|Father.]]

* [[Unicorn]]

** The second is an extended version of the scene by Jack's fire wherein Gump is even ''less' forgiving of Jack than in the director's cut, using his violin to magically force Jack to dance before making him answer the riddle. This explains Jack's sudden sweatiness and seeming exhaustion between shots in the finished version, and why Gump refers to him as "riddle-solver, dancing fool and faerie-friend". On the Blu-Ray the scene is represented by stills and storyboards over the surviving soundtrack. A couple of behind the scenes shots are also seen in the accompanying [[Making Of]] documentary.

** There are also elements from the original script which Scott never even attempted, such as Lily's encounter with a "house brownie" (like the ones in ''[[Willow]]''), Lily transforming into a humanoid cat creature, Darkness growing huge bat wings during his battle with Jack, and a final revelation that Jack is actually immortal.

* [[Woman Scorned]]: Oona.
