The Last Unicorn: animated version to be released on DVD

The animated version of Peter S. Beagle's book The Last Unicorn is being released on DVD on February 6, to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

Peter Beagle has been beset by a number of legal problems in recent years, and has been struggling to obtain money long owed to him because of underpayment for work he did on the animated version of The Last Unicorn. It's a longstanding problem that's gone on for decades. Because of the continuing legal problems, he is not getting any share of the sales except from those sold by Conlan Press. You may buy copies from Conlan Press online, who say if you buy it from them, half the proceeds for each DVD will go directly to Peter.

When I was in high school, Peter Beagle and Theodore Sturgeon were the first writers I ever was aware of who spoke to me. It was not just for their narratives, but for the way they wrote. There was a certain clarity and meticulous care in the choices they made. I did not know anything about the craft of writing then, but I knew they were good.
