NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- On Wednesday August 21, 2013 the Newport Beach Film Festival will present a special screening of the newly digitally restored animated classic film "The Last Unicorn" (1982).
The story centers on a lone unicorn who believes she is the last of her kind and sets out on a quest to discover the fate of her people. She is joined in her travels by an incompetent magician and a lovelorn woman. Together, they must face an evil witch, a wicked king, and a fiery elemental bull that seems intent on ridding the world of all unicorns forever. With an amazing cast of voice actors, superb art direction and a classic storyline sure to delight all ages, this newly-digitally-restored epic is as well-loved today as ever and remains a hallmark of animated film.
The film features the voices of Alan Arkin, Jeff Bridges, Angela Lansbury, Christopher Lee, Robert Klein, Rene Auberjonois, Tammy Grimes and Mia Farrow as the unicorn.
Immediately following the film, guests are invited to a Q&A with "The Last Unicorn" author and screenwriter Peter S. Beagle.
Fans are encouraged to dress in fantasy costumes and will have the opportunity to win prizes.
"The Last Unicorn" will screen on Wednesday August 21, 2013 – 7:30pm at the Regency Lido Theater (3459 Via Lido, Newport Beach, CA 92663).
