Review Summary
A beautiful young free-spirited girl is shown a pair of magical unicorns by Jack, a puck-ish boy of the woods. She ignores a warning by Jack, accidentally plunging the world into winter, giving a demon, Darkness, the opportunity to take over the world. Darkness attempts to seduce and marry the girl as Jack and his various friends of the forest (dwarves, sprites, etc.) try to thwart his evil plan. Fantastic production values create a magical, fairy-tale world. This review is for the American version, which is shorter and has music by Tangerene Dream. The European version is longer and has music by Jerry Goldsmith.
