The Last Unicorn (animation)/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* The theme song.

* Molly Grue's speech when she first lays eyes on the unicorn, especially her incredibly gut-wrenching, "Where have you been? '''DAMN YOU''', ''where have you been''?!" and "How dare you, how '''dare''' you come to me now, when I am '''this'''?!"

** I didn't even notice that scene at four. Twenty years later, it sent me from zero to full-on ''sobbing'' in about half a second.

* When Cully's band chases Robin and Marian and the Merry Men into the darkness. Something about that ragged bunch of bullies and cowards ''believing'' so hard that they'd follow transparent mirages into the woods gets me every time. {{spoiler|Probably because I'm not a hero or a unicorn at all.}}

* The sudden choke when Schmendrick rescues The Unicorn from The Red Bull by turning her into a mortal woman ... and being old enough to realize exactly what he had just done.

* An odd one for those that are ''really'' empathic comes from King Haggard's speech, telling Amalthea just [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP3DhTq8mXg why he took the Unicorns]. Though this might simply be another case of a magnificent combination of music and imagery.

** Just the very thought that the unicorn would be alone having to endure human emotions is painful in itself.
