LOL I think Eonwe was refering to the toe socks. Mmm love my toe socks. I certainly think a good job can be done on this. I have been watching the site for awhile and it looks like it _could_ work. Hopefully Beagle has some veto power in the movie which will help (though I’m pretty sure that is rare for writers to have that power) I _am_ really wondering what the soundtrack will be like. Unless they recycle the old one, but that would just be wrong I feel. It’s a new movie and though the old track was wonderful to reuse it would be… wrong. Maybe take a couple of the songs (The Last Unicorn for certain) and have the rest be a new score. It would be interesting if they used the techno version of The Last Unicorn for the movie! But I don’t think it would work though it is a really good song. ---

The site does give hope to something wonderful in the making. I don’t envy the girl who has to be the human version of a unicorn though. She has some tough (horse)shoes to fill. Having some of the same cast was a good idea I think and they had better keep the America songs intact or they will alienate a lot of the diehard fans. I hope they just try to keep it as otherworldly and magical as possible. ---

Wow, I hadn’t heard anything about this. Neat. Gracias, Biohazard. 😃 When the initial excitement has worn off, I think I’ll have plenty of mixed feelings about this…residual excitement, fear of seeing a beautiful thing screwed up, as well as some strong feelings about not just seeing a live action version of the cartoon. I love the cartoon for what it is…but I’d like the movie to exist as a different entity (so, yeah, I vote for no America songs; sorry, Mr. Jim). On the other hand, I’d like to give another hear-hear for rainbow stripey toe socks! ---

—The original animated version was perfect. How could they make it any better?— Oh come on. I have fond memories of it too… but who could forgive the prince’s awful, awful song? ---

Hehe, yeah I understand. It should be a seperate entity it’s just difficult to imagine it without them. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-last-unicorn-in-04-cool/145231.md?page=1)
