[HPFGU-OTChatter] Last Unicorn

[Denise R]

About once a month, I pull the movie off the shelf, and watch it.  Angela L.
is a wonderful actress, and Alan (it is Alan, right, as the mage?) is great
in his role.  Molly's voice seems just so perfect, and the Mia Farrow voice
is good too.  Lee of course fits excellent.  I was rather surprised to note
the first time I watched it after buying the movie (the first viewing in
about 15 years or so) that Rene was in it!  That just threw me!  I love that
actor.

(If American was in, he'd be a great Sir Knight!  He's very flexible as an
actor.)

America's versions of the songs are haunting as they fill you head, and
don't ever leave.

I do agree, though that Mia cannot sing!  Chuckles.  I wondered why they
didn't find another woman to do her singing for her, but perhaps Somebody
didn't want that for his gal?

When I finally got my hands on "Return to Pooh Corner," a few years ago, I
was pleasantly surprised by the Kenny L cover.  It did it justice.  I
haven't decided which version I like better, actually!

Of course, I listened to his album from May/June 96 to Aug 98 almost
straight.  It put my son to sleep both within the womb, and out.  It also
makes a great lullaby for Mommies!

:)

It would be interesting to see the movie updated, but I did note that they
did try to be somewhat true to the book.

(The story I'd LOVE to see as a movie is Lady Death.  It was excellent.
Alas, my copy of Beagle is ~gone with the wind~.  IIRC, that's the storyline
they got Jack N's werewolf from, right?  (Haven't seen the movie)

Off to sleep perchance to dream....
