I'm sure it will shock you disproportionately to find out that Schmendrick the Magician was also my favorite.
SHOCKED. SHOCKED.
(I read the book a long, long time ago, I think as a library book when I was a teen or tween. I'm not sure if I've ever seen the movie.)
I was shown the movie for the first and only time that I can remember in college, by a high school friend, but we can prove that I glanced off it in childhood because despite direct textual contradiction I associated Schmendrick for years with the color blue. It has a fabulous voice cast, a distinctive animation style, is remarkably close to the novel thanks to Beagle doing the screenplay, and I really imprinted on the book.
