You can get an autographed copy here for $25, or scan your bargain bins for it to get it cheaper if you don't already have it.

Wasn't that the same art team that did Watership Down?

The Last Unicorn at least. Dunno about Watership Down though.

I haven't seen it since I was a child. I remember hating it.

I did like Bakshi's Wizards, though.

Watership Down was amazing and disturbing at the same time.

They don't make cartoons like that any more. That and Secret of Nimh were two really good, and fairly adult, cartoons. Now, we have to put up with Disney-fied CGI bullshit.
