My wife and I met Peter Beagle a few years ago when he came to town for a screening of The Last Unicorn . The 1982 movie is based on the book of the same name, which Peter wrote. The 2011 Blu-ray looks much better than the remastered DVD that preceded it, which, in turn, beat the pants off the pan & scan DVD that was around for so long. The DCP they're screening for their regional tours is yet another step up, but I can't estimate how big an improvement, having not sat through the whole thing.

Whenever they do one of these shows, the house is packed with both kids and adults. Hidemi Kubo's fingerprints are all over the still-stunning animation design.
