1984
When the goblin Blix, serving the Lord of Darkness, shoots a unicorn, Princess Lili and the hermit Jack O' the Green witness the land plunge into an eternal winter. Jack, aided by faeries Gump, Brown Tom, and Luna, embarks on a perilous quest to save the last unicorn and defeat Darkness, battling the water hag Hairy Meg Mucklebones and infiltrating Darkness's Great Tree lair. Inside, Jack and the faeries overcome traps and demons while Darkness attempts to corrupt the captured Lili, but Jack recovers Lili's ring and Gump's music revives the unicorn, breaking the spell and restoring spring. Lili awakens to find Jack riding the unicorn through the meadow, having fulfilled his legendary role.

JACK O' THE GREENI....won't....go....on...Take my life, if you must.... What I did is unforgiveable.... But, I did it for love! And I'd do it again! I love Lili with all my heart and would sooner die than break a promise!
How does a migrating swallow know the way south in winter....? Or a spawning salmon find the tiny freshet of his birth from the black cold depths of the mysterious sea....? I know everything, Jack!
Come down sparrow, sing me good morning. Rise up sun, light the arch of the sky. Living river, turn light to diamonds, When I look in my true love's eyes.
Wish i was still a leprecaun. . . . Stay clear of nasty places like this and do nothing all day but sing and dance and guzzle wine in the sunshine. . . .
Disgusting and pure, like a prayer. . .. There be magic in this hair. The beast ran off, faster and faster. We must take this to our Master.
Pranks....! Is that all you're good for....! I've lost Lili....! Gump! Help me! Use your magic to find her.... set the world right.
You know these woods as well as any elf.... Did you not see something odd today? Any strange spirits? Did nothing untoward happen?
Here be precious summertime frozen into a winter memory and the blamed fool won't drink faerie wine for fear of enchantment.
