When a unicorn is told that she is the last of her kind, she finds out that all of the rest of the unicorns have been captured by mysterious "Red Bull" at some remote castle. She sets off to find and release them. She doesn't get far before she is captured by a witch and put on display in a traveling circus with other mystical creatures. She escapes with the help of a friendly amateur magician, who joins her on her journey. When they reach the castle, her magician friend accidentally turns her into a human girl. She falls in love with the prince of the castle and soon begins to forget why she is there. However, her final confrontation with the Red Bull changes her mind, leading to tragedy and regret, but also hope. More fairy tale than fantasy, with the unicorn spending quite a bit of time as a human girl. The Rankin/Bass animation won't overwhelm anyone, but the music by America is a nice addition.
