When people think of songs in animated movies, their first thoughtsgo to Disney.

Fortunately, they did recognize the film’s song, “Everything Is Awesome”.
The song has stuck with audiences for more reasons than just its catchy lyrics and infectious beat.
It in many ways parallels the movie’s themes and presentation.

This fits with the movie’s themes of individualism and creative expression.
“The Last Unicorn” does everything you could hope for in an intro song.
It still has hints of darkness, especially involving the villain, Grigori Rasputin (Christopher Lloyd).
As they navigate through uncharted territories, they find themselves mistaken for gods upon their arrival.
All of this is perfectly summed up in the film’s closing song.
