Last year sometime I found The Last Unicorn on Amazon Prime and Claire fell in love! It was neat to share a cartoon that I liked as a kid. Hard to believe it came out in 1982. We've watched it a couple dozen times here at home and then last month I heard about it playing on the big screen and I figured Claire would love it. She had only see a movie in the theater one other time where she fell asleep. I gave Grams a call and asked if she would like to join us. So the three of us, Laureli stayed home with Daddy, went to check it out.
It played at the Hollywood Theater in Portland on Sandy Blvd. A super neat old theater built in 1926 with curved walls and floors. The writer, Peter S. Beagle, was there and answered questions from the audience before the showing. He explained how he came up with idea of The Last Unicorn, how long it took to go from book to movie and then again to be rereleased. It was fun even when Claire did get a little antsy and had to go to the bathroom three times and was really upset that we didn't stay after to meet the writer and get is autograph.
And one picture of Laureli sleeping with all her kitties! Watch out she maybe the crazy cat lady someday :)
