There's a lot to praise about The Last Unicorn. A ton of talent went into it -- the same animation studio (and many of the same team) produced Nausicaa shortly after. We've read a story about Miyazaki watching the film back then and being really struck by the final scene where the unicorns come out of the water! It's pretty wild to think about.
The scene where all of the unicorns run out of the water after the death of the Red Bull is incredible. I also thought the background design work in the film was beautifully done.
Still frames were also at work in The Last Unicorn (1982). The animation in this film was heavily criticized but I thought it was fantastic.
