On 2/6/07 Lionsgate will release The Last Unicorn: 25th Anniversary Edition — a widescreen digitally remastered DVD version of the animated classic, including additional features and material — with special Conlan Press distribution on behalf of author and screenwriter Peter S. Beagle.
The Last Unicorn has been a worldwide success in its theatrical film, cable, VHS, and DVD versions. But to date, author and screenwriter Peter S. Beagle has never been paid anything from the millions of dollars the film has earned.
Now, by special arrangement with Lionsgate Entertainment, customers can ensure that more than half their purchase price of this 25th Anniversary Edition DVD will go directly to support Peter S. Beagle and his projects by buying through Conlan Press (www.conlanpress.com).
Although The Last Unicorn: 25th Anniversary Edition will be available from all major DVD retailers, only purchases made through Conlan Press (www.conlanpress.com) will benefit Mr. Beagle.
The Last Unicorn: 25th Anniversary Edition DVD features an all-star cast of voice talent, and songs performed by the band America. Starring Christopher Lee, Mia Farrow, and Academy Award® nominees Alan Arkin, angela Lansbury, and Jeff Bridges, the movie tells the powerful tale of a unicorn who sets out on a quest to find her lost brothers and sisters. The film's character design and animation were done by the Japanese artists who went on to become the core of Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli (My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away).
With screenplay by Hugo Award-winning author Peter S. Beagle (based on his own world-famous fantasy novel), this long-awaited special edition DVD makes the widescreen version of The Last Unicorn available for the first time in the United States, and brings the film to life in its highest quality ever, with digitally remastered video and 5.1 audio.
