Movies like The Last Unicorn

If you're after that particular blend of melancholic fairy-tale atmosphere with hand-drawn aesthetics and themes about preserving magic against an indifferent world, The Illusionist, The NeverEnding Story, and Merlin are your likeliest matches—they share the bittersweet tone and the sense that wonder persists despite inevitable decline. DragonHeart and Willow probably land closest on the emotional register, trading some of that visual style for the same earnest exploration of unlikely bonds and ordinary characters confronting mortality through magical quests. If you're flexible on animation style but want that fellowship-on-a-perilous-quest structure with genuine stakes, Krull and The Seventh Dwarf offer similar narrative momentum, though neither quite captures the wistful, elegiac quality that makes The Last Unicorn linger.
