    The first film I saw in the cinema was the animated feature "Last Unicorn" - a good seven years before the original Batman. It starred (the voices of) Jeff Bridges, Mia Farrow,Angela Lansbury and hey!- René Auberjonois, a.k.a. Odo from Deep Space Nine wink.gif ... heh heh..

    I would have been almost 6 years old when I saw it - t'was scary yet enticing and intriguing enough to me at the time!

    I think I seen that - do they turn the unicorn into a girl and there is something about a bull (?) forcing the unicorns into the sea?

    I can't remember my very first time in the cinema - it was probably some Disney film - Jungle Book or Snow White.

    Aye, Draco - the plot was along those lines... - I remember the animation being well ahead of its time, particularly for the scenes with the sea and the massive waves, etc.
    - much more of it I don't remember...

    And Kento... shur I'm young yet... or so they keep tellin' me wink.gif - but yeah-- I turned 6 in 1982 when Last Unicorn came out.

    The first film i remember seeing in the cinema was Batman, it was mental!me granny was there and she fell asleep and we ate all her popcorn.The cinema was a kip though, it was in Galway city and was way before the Omniplex opened. There may have been a Disney film before that but i dont remember it.

    I can't remember for the life of me!
    It might have been 'the never ending story' or some Diznee sh!te.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,661 ✭✭✭Blitzkrieger


    Fido - the great mouse detective. God only knows how young I was. I spent half of it running around the cinema and fell asleep for the other half.

    Yeah, I complete forgot about it myself. I do remember being entralled by the animation. And I think I was able to follow the plot. Must try and find a copy on video.

    I can't remember the movie in Ireland, all I remember it was in fairview and they had to stop it because some plonker went over the front.
