The song Lady Amalthea sings which I really love. This clip is taken directly from the english version of the movie, I don't know who sings the other version of this song.
There's a sort of lingering fragility to her voice as if it will break at any moment. Or that maybe she, herself, will crumble. I feel like that tremulous quality is what sums up the vulnerable state she's portraying in this scene. So I actually like that the singing doesn't sound "polished". She's had both her innocence and sense of identity snatched away from her in one fell swoop. It only makes sense that these emotions would show in her song. The imperfections that come with being human...
thank you for this comment. the last unicorn is one of my all time favorite films. even as a child, i enjoyed her “unpolished” singing voice. you summarized what i have always felt yet could never put it into words. so thank you. i love smart people.
@@melissacrick835 Why thank you. I just want to let you know that you've flattered me to the point of being a tad flustered. I'm glad to have put words to your feelings. It still amazes me, the depths of what people feel for this movie decades later. That the realness of these scenes is what connects us all.
"Unicorn, mermaid, sorceress, werewolf, elf, vampire, gargoyle, gorgon, Lamina...no name you could give her would surprise or frighten me, i love whom i love" which is my fave quote from the movie and book
I honestly think the actress for Amalthea has a pretty voice...Maybe she's not a professional singer, but I like the fact that they had the actress herself sing this. It makes it feel genuine, like it's Amalthea telling her tale rather than someone else expressing it for her
its more artistic and realistic which imo makes it more beautiful than the "perfectly sung" version by katie. In this version i feel Amalthea's feelings of loss of innocence, confusion, and pain because she knows that even if she goes back to being a unicorn the feelings she felt as a human cannot be unlearned
There are talented singers who do their own versions of this song... but this original version is just the best. The less than perfect voice of Mia just adds to the genuineness and innocence of the character.
I remember being a little girl watching this movie.... Now I'm 28 and yesterday I watched this with my little daughter and I couldn't stop crying. She came up to me and said, "Don't cry mom. Everything's going to be ok..." I was feeling the nostalgia of being small and not quite understanding the deeper meanings of this movie but now that I'm a mother it hits me differently.. In my personal opinion, the song for me represents a child (purity and innocence like that of a unicorn) and the transition into teen and then to a woman. Children and unicorns share the commonality in the fact that they are the epitome of innocence; very symbolic. We are merely here for a blip in time and being able to share this sentimental movie that is close to my heart with my daughter made me so emotional.
Your comment made me tear up, I have a three month old son and I can't wait to show him this my favorite movie of all time I've loved it since I was a little girl 💘
This is why CZcams comments exist and why it's such a shame when videos don't allow comments. We're brought closer together by these moments and emotions. Thanks.
i think i like her singing voice because the song isnt really meant to be well sung. Shes gone from being an immortal unicorn to turning into a human which in that eera would have had the life span of 40 years she is in pain and u can really feel that in the shakyness of her voice almost as if she is about to cry but holding back the tears because crying will just make her more human
it is well sung, it just sounds more emotional and sad. The other version sounds too perfect to me, like it was computer edited or something, there isn't the same feeling behind it. It's good, but I prefer the original. The original, with Mia Farrow singing, also sounds more like something in the book, whereas the updated version, sounds kinda emotionless to have come from the book, to me.
The reason I like this version more is because it comes across as a more real, emotional version as opposed to some silly "perfect" rendition of it. Sure, a pretty voice and great vocal technique is nice, but I appreciate this version more simply because it is just so much more real and beautiful to me. It's special in that way that the newer version does not have.
Even as a trained vocalist myself, acting and emotion are always better than smooth technique and pretty sound. Imperfection is what makes a performance human, and if not human, then what does that leave a performance to be?
Her voice is pretty, and very natural-sounding. Something that has been lost in our era of technological "adjusting" and "perfecting". People need to learn how a naturally beautiful voice sounds before they forget...
Curse these tears! The corruption of her immortality and innocence was always so sad to me, but I guess in the end her love for Prince Lir is what gave her the courage to oppose the Red Bull, though it's still sad to me.
I personally prefer Mia Farrow's voice singing this song. As much as Kate Ivring can sing, I still prefer the original. It really gives the emotion of Amalthea's confusion.
While it was about unicorns and animated, this movie never struck me as a cartoon or something silly for little kids. It was kind of serious and sad. But it is still one of my faves i watch all the time and im not ashamed :)
Mia Farrow's voice was perfect for this not because her voice was perfection but because it was imperfect which suits the state the character is in. As a unicorn purity and perfection are apart of the myth and lore but as humans we are imperfect, full of flaws and fragile which is what Mia Farrow brought to this side of the unicorn's character as a woman.
Oh geez- I've listened to this maybe six times now and I'm still sobbing. This movie was out of my time but my parents still shared it with me and I remain grateful for that. It is still my favorite movie and I assure you every time I watch it now, I cry. Particularly, during this song. Mia Farrow's version is so much better. The fragility of her voice gives the song the delicateness it needs.
Once, I can't remember I was, long ago, someone strange I was innocent and wise And full of pain Now that I'm a woman Everything is strange Once, when I was searching Somewhere out of reach Far away In a place I could not find Or heart obey Now that I'm a woman Everything is changed Everything is changed Everything has changed
I watched this movie around 12-14 years of age. As a femal, around that age is generally challenging no matter how your life is or was. I didn’t know a thing about the movie, and I’m so glad I didn’t, and that the movie came to me around that point of time is a blessing in disguise. The movie was gorgeous to watch, and so refreshing compared to the movies of even today. It questioned the playing field of fantasy films, the roles of the characters within them, and when she transformed into a woman I gasped in surprise, because I honestly didn’t expect that, and that feeling alone made me fall in love. How wonderful a movie is, when it surprises you in the best way possible? It helped me accept so much about the workings of life. This song was my anthem for the following years and now, turning twenty, it has become my creed once again.
+Johnlindsey289 Her voice isn't even bad, just kind of unsteady. I think people might be too used to songs being polished, which is also why some say that singers sound terrible at concerts. A voice doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful.
I like the fact that you can hear there is tone there. It's unpolished and off key. But, still there. Makes it all the more vulnerable and fragile sounding.
I think it's so important that they included that quote: "But I don't know where to find him.. and I'm lonely..." it shows how she's really changed. before she was willing to risk her life, and the fate of all unicorns to just have a chance at saving them. not even completely sure where she was going. but now that she's human, trivial things such as loneliness are now holding her back. she's so lost and confused, and full of doubt. also, A+ voice acting really conveys her emotions properly. love this song and all the sadness behind it.
you have to wonder if the Amalthea that returned to the forest at the end was the same Unicorn who set out. She'd been Human and knew what it was like to have emotions, to know love and loss, loneliness and friendship, fear and courage, anger and happiness, something other Unicorns didn't know. She had been given a name and an identity as an individual, once again something other Unicorns didn't have, so you have to wonder was it possible that she had gained a soul
+Snakes3425 What if Amalthea was transformed into a humanoid anthro Unicorn Being (ala anthro My Little Pony fanart or furry artwork) instead of a full feral unicorn at the end if she let some emotions let go during transformation back to unicorn?
Came here for those good childhood memories. I used to watch this movie at least once a week. It’s still one of my favorites. This scene really enchanted me especially.
We are talking in this comment section like this woman is real. To those of us who had this film as part of our childhood can view this as nothing but real. She’s so real in our memories. All of them.
Watched this as a child, watching as adult is so nostalgic. Especially this song, almost seems intentional. Too bloody right, now that I'm a Woman everything has bloody changed!
@TheBestKindOfFailure She also understands better as a human with human emotions what else she was looking for back then in the forest. It wasn't just she was beginning to forget herself, she began to like having more ranged emotions than supressed like that of an immortal being.. She also found herself, as a human wanting a companion. Molly and Schmendric weren't quite her friends, they were just tag alongs to her until she was human and back again to a unicorn. The story goes really deep.
Richard Jaeger Here's a fun fact, Topcraft studio of Japan also did Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and this was a studio that later became Ghibli. So this is an early Ghibli movie sort of speak.
I don't know what people are complaining about, I think it's pretty good actually. Better than I could do that's for sure, and there is so much emotion put into it, do you know how hard it is to do that?
You have idiotic people in this comment section saying how Mia is bad as singing or just completely missing the point of the song cause that’s how clueless newer generations can be... Not all songs that are amazing are created with some shitty auto tune or something, this works because Amalthea is dealing with a crisis and the unevenness in some parts of the song work really well as if she might cry at any moment. She was an immortal unicorn changed to a girl in order to be saved but now she is having emotions and thoughts she never had as a unicorn. This song is also about one going through rough times, after all, Amalthea was the last of her kind till the end of the movie so she would feel alone and scared.
Prepare for the tears. Every time I hear this song, or anything from or about this movie, I want to cry because it reminds me of my mother, and I haven't seen her in years.
I actually adore her voice, and her singing isn't changed to make it sound 'perfect,' but they keep it simple and natural. Thats what makes it even more beautiful, like a unicorn! ♥
I will admit that even now at 18, almost 19 years old this is still my absolute favorite movie, the art is lovely, the characters deep and enchanting, and the story has caught my heart for years, since when i first used to cry as a 1 year old at the tv when it was over, crying "REEEEEEWWWWWINNNNNDDDD!!!!!!" and although i dont scream at the tv, i still can watch it over and over :)
The unicorn in her says, "I must go to him, I must face the Red Bull again... before I forget myself forever" but the woman in her says, "but I don't know where to find him, and... I'm lonely." *:' (*
I love the song, it reminds me of how much of a little kid I was and what I am now, I'm only 12 but I've been through a lot. It makes me miss my 5 year-old innocence and imagination.
They have it on DVD now. I used to have the video and lent it to my god-daughter years ago. I didn't get it back so I got it on DVD. I love this movie.
Man, I love this song... And I agree; her wavering and conflicted voice suits the mood PERFECTLY. It almost makes it more authentic and believable. But then again, I guess you'd have to have grown up with the movie and remember the context and emotions that go along with the scene in order to appreciate it. Regardless; I will ALWAYS love this movie. So well done and such a good soundtrack.
Sure, the literal meaning of this song is the innocence lost when an immortal creature who is a manifestation of purity becomes a flawed and fractured human. But the themes of loss and innocence are the foundation of the novel, and the movie. You see that clearly in Mollie’s speech. There’s plenty of reason to interpret it as someone making the transition into the pain and wonder of womanhood, whether it’s a cis girl growing up or a trans woman taking the steps to become her true self. Growth always comes with pain, but it’s within that pain that we discover change. A caterpillar inside a cocoon has to disintegrate before it can become a butterfly.
Okay, Mia Farrow may not be able to sing, but I love this song. I abolutley love it. It's very different from what I usually listen to, but still. I watched this when I was really young, and then I forgot about it. So one day I found it, and I was like "What the hellokitty is this? So I watched it, and I remembered. I knew every word to the songs, every line in the movie. And I cried. This is such a beautiful movie, no matter how old/bad quality.
Listening to this so many years later this intense nostalgia and emotion that's gripping me it reminds me of when I read dusty old books of fantasy as a child. Thank you, maybe it doesn't mean much but thank you.
There's a sort of lingering fragility to her voice as if it will break at any moment. Or that maybe she, herself, will crumble. I feel like that tremulous quality is what sums up the vulnerable state she's portraying in this scene. So I actually like that the singing doesn't sound "polished".

The imperfections that come with being human...

"No, don't cry. If you've become human enough to cry then no magic in the world can change you back."

Angel Kitty In one of the DVD versions they use a singer other than Mia Farrow, I can link you to it later.
yay thank u ^-^ but why did they change it??
Angel Kitty Her voice wasn't perfect enough I guess
Mia’s voice throughout this entire movie is just heart wrenching. The line where she yells “I am a unicorn!!” Still wrecks me.
Sounds much more innocent and in character.

What a strange movie, but very enjoyable. I must read the book.
You must! Also read the unicorn sonata. Same author as this movie/book. You'll like it.
The book is amazing
@@KailuaChick I did read the book. It was great.
Can you make a commentary on this film
Please
I love this song. I can totally relate. As I'm getting older, I'm feeling more lost and everything around me is changing. It's new and scary
*hugs*

Her voice is pretty, and very natural-sounding.
Something that has been lost in our era of technological "adjusting" and "perfecting".
People need to learn how a naturally beautiful voice sounds before they forget...
"I was innocent and wise, and full of pain..."
Ahh, childhood...
Sadly my childhood relates to this so much...
I so relate to this. Guess I need to watch this movie..:)

Nothing wrong with being a brony
The fact that her voice isn't perfect makes this song even more sad and beautiful. If it was seamless and autotuned it wouldn't have that sorrow.
I know, genuine pain.
Makes sense, humans aren't perfect.
Mia Farrow's voice was perfect for this not because her voice was perfection but because it was imperfect which suits the state the character is in.

Such clever symbolism in this.
I loved this movie so much growing up and still do. Now that I am 25, I relate to this song even more than I ever thought I have in the first place.
this movie will always remain my favorite, its beautiful but in the most bitter sweet way and it has captured my heart
she's a fabulous singer...there is a sadness in her voice that is stunningly beautiful....and i love her voice cracks...so genuine and individual
Time for my weekly cry session
Still here?
Once, I can't remember
I was, long ago, someone strange
I was innocent and wise
And full of pain
Now that I'm a woman
Everything is strange
Once, when I was searching
Somewhere out of reach
Far away
In a place I could not find
Or heart obey
Now that I'm a woman
Everything is changed
Everything is changed
Everything has changed
Gorgeous voice really brings out the pain in the characters state

This movie haunted me as a child. Now I’m 38. This hits hard.
I can barely remember this movie. But damn did I love it.
I still love it at 32 years old!! Lol ❤️💕
When you are old enough and have lived long enough, you find that everything changes. And you understand this song.
my childhood movie omg.
Saaaame
This song used to crack us up as kids. My female cousins loved to belt it out at oddly appropriate moments, like when one accomplished a goal
This song is always haunting to me just the thought of slowly losing who you are and becoming a stranger to yourself is probably horrible
I like the fact that you can hear there is tone there. It's unpolished and off key. But, still there. Makes it all the more vulnerable and fragile sounding.

What if Amalthea was transformed into a humanoid anthro Unicorn Being (ala anthro My Little Pony fanart or furry artwork) instead of a full feral unicorn at the end if she let some emotions let go during transformation back to unicorn?
@@snakes3425 so what you stated is basically from The Little Mermaid replacing mermaid with unicorn?
what a beautiful song. I love her voice so much...
Came here for those good childhood memories. I used to watch this movie at least once a week. It’s still one of my favorites. This scene really enchanted me especially.
Her voice emanates loss, grief and fleeting hope.
Her Sun has set on her. She must endure through the dark night.
What makes Ariel the mermaid or Carola from Tales from the Darkside The Movie (the gargoyle story) no different?
Always!!!! 💪
Heavy sobbing
I know!!! 😔
Lolimoog nice art btw
Lolimoog need a hug?
I fully agree, I can feel her sadness 🙁
I used to watch this over and over again when i was a kid
The melody. The words. The story. Oh my heart. I watched this over and over when I was little. It still aches my heart. So beautiful.
most beautiful voice i've ever heard.
Comments: it's not the best but it's innocent and sweet and we like that
Me: this shit slaps
This song is something that randomly pops in my head all the time. guess it’s cause I watched this movie religiously as a child 😂
We are talking in this comment section like this woman is real. To those of us who had this film as part of our childhood can view this as nothing but real. She’s so real in our memories. All of them.
Mia Farrows voice is great in this song idc what people say, she just has that sarrow in her voice that makes it easy to feel her grief.
I used to watch this when I was sick so deadass I thought this shit was legit a fever dream
Watched this as a child, watching as adult is so nostalgic. Especially this song, almost seems intentional. Too bloody right, now that I'm a Woman everything has bloody changed!
I love her voice. It just fits her so well.
I love this so much more than the soundtrack version. Haunting despair cannot be portrayed with perfection
When she says she lonely, I want to cry.
I love this womans voice, I have just watched the last unicorn and you can really feel the emotion, I was crying a bit after. :'(
this is my childhood and this song is just beautiful
hauntingly beautiful..so much pain.. i love the perfect imperfections in her voice..its like shes about to cry...so RAW
I cry everytime I watch this movie
This makes me cry
Me too
I must go, before I forget myself forever. And I'm lonely.
Bro I sing this song when I'm alone now that I'm older. Man, this movie was my childhood. I still love it. Just rewatching it makes me wanna cry.
I cant believe im feeling emotional...i want to hug her in both human and unicorn form 😢
This movie creeped me out as a kid. I think it still does.
What???? I loved this movie as a kid!!
The nostalgia ;-;
@TheBestKindOfFailure She also understands better as a human with human emotions what else she was looking for back then in the forest. It wasn't just she was beginning to forget herself, she began to like having more ranged emotions than supressed like that of an immortal being.. She also found herself, as a human wanting a companion. Molly and Schmendric weren't quite her friends, they were just tag alongs to her until she was human and back again to a unicorn.
The story goes really deep.
When I hit puberty my mother and I remebered this song and we started singing it randomly through out the day. It was a bloody good time.
Wow this takes me back (used to have this on VCR) now I'm older I understand the storyline better.
I was 5 and got it on VCR from a library :) I watched it every day until I had to bring it back and years later someone gifted me the DVD :D
The artwork looks like an Anime and Disney crossover, but that's probably just my opinion. o .o;;
Actually in terms of the animation and art style, that's more accurate than one might think.
Richard Jaeger
And did you know this is a Japanese co-production?
*****
Yep. The Japanese did a lot of animation for Rankin-Bass and other American studios in that era.
Richard Jaeger
Here's a fun fact, Topcraft studio of Japan also did Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and this was a studio that later became Ghibli. So this is an early Ghibli movie sort of speak.
its the same people who animated thundercats !
I don't know what people are complaining about, I think it's pretty good actually. Better than I could do that's for sure, and there is so much emotion put into it, do you know how hard it is to do that?
You have idiotic people in this comment section saying how Mia is bad as singing or just completely missing the point of the song cause that’s how clueless newer generations can be...
Not all songs that are amazing are created with some shitty auto tune or something, this works because Amalthea is dealing with a crisis and the unevenness in some parts of the song work really well as if she might cry at any moment.

This song is also about one going through rough times, after all, Amalthea was the last of her kind till the end of the movie so she would feel alone and scared.
What makes Twilight Sparkle in Equestria Girls no different?
Every single time I hear this I get misty-eyed. It's much more powerful in context within the movie, rather than singled out, though.
What the greatest showman could never do.
This song is so damn good
I actually really like her singing voice, I mean she's no professional but it's quite beautiful
this is very sad :(
I like this version best
This is so fucking FAR back into my childhood that I'm finding it hard to breathe

I can't say that this is the best animated movie out there but dam it's one of my favourites. I have a lot of animated films that I equally enjoy.
I will admit that even now at 18, almost 19 years old this is still my absolute favorite movie, the art is lovely, the characters deep and enchanting, and the story has caught my heart for years, since when i first used to cry as a 1 year old at the tv when it was over, crying "REEEEEEWWWWWINNNNNDDDD!!!!!!" and although i dont scream at the tv, i still can watch it over and over :)
The unicorn as a lady was HAWT~
I remember this was my blockbuster movie i checked out ever time i went >:]!
The unicorn in her says, "I must go to him, I must face the Red Bull again... before I forget myself forever" but the woman in her says, "but I don't know where to find him, and... I'm lonely." *:' (*
I love the song, it reminds me of how much of a little kid I was and what I am now, I'm only 12 but I've been through a lot. It makes me miss my 5 year-old innocence and imagination.
The fact that this comment’s age means you’re actually older than me is insane. Can we get an update at 23 years old? 🤣
@@Poke-Chann im 24 now and i totally forgot i commented this 🤣🤣🤣 12 year old me was not prepared for the trials of 18-20 year old me smh
@@richalvarezfan101 LOL that’s hilarious 🤝 the ignorance of being 12
She is so beautiful 🤩 she’s like a princess now this is so beautiful 😻 so wonderful.
this is one of the best movies of my childhood
They have it on DVD now. I used to have the video and lent it to my god-daughter years ago. I didn't get it back so I got it on DVD. I love this movie.
Man, I love this song... And I agree; her wavering and conflicted voice suits the mood PERFECTLY. It almost makes it more authentic and believable. But then again, I guess you'd have to have grown up with the movie and remember the context and emotions that go along with the scene in order to appreciate it.
Regardless; I will ALWAYS love this movie. So well done and such a good soundtrack.
Sure, the literal meaning of this song is the innocence lost when an immortal creature who is a manifestation of purity becomes a flawed and fractured human.
But the themes of loss and innocence are the foundation of the novel, and the movie. You see that clearly in Mollie’s speech. There’s plenty of reason to interpret it as someone making the transition into the pain and wonder of womanhood, whether it’s a cis girl growing up or a trans woman taking the steps to become her true self.
Growth always comes with pain, but it’s within that pain that we discover change. A caterpillar inside a cocoon has to disintegrate before it can become a butterfly.
What about Twilight Sparkle in Equestria Girls?
Johnlindsey289 What about her?
I mean when it comes to unicorns turned into humans, how do you think how Twilight felt?
Johnlindsey289 I don’t really watch My Little Pony 😅
Icecreamandradness you worded that really beautifully.
I adore this song. This movie is awsome. It brings me back to my childhood.
*when you hit puberty *
Okay, Mia Farrow may not be able to sing, but I love this song. I abolutley love it. It's very different from what I usually listen to, but still. I watched this when I was really young, and then I forgot about it. So one day I found it, and I was like "What the hellokitty is this? So I watched it, and I remembered. I knew every word to the songs, every line in the movie. And I cried. This is such a beautiful movie, no matter how old/bad quality.
Her voice is amazing and I dont understand why people were hating on it
Listening to this so many years later this intense nostalgia and emotion that's gripping me it reminds me of when I read dusty old books of fantasy as a child. Thank you, maybe it doesn't mean much but thank you.
mia farrows voice is perfect for this song i don't care what anyone says
The soundtrack is everything I love this movie
I love this song, it makes perfect sense to me and makes me want to cry a little =' ]
