07/12/2022 The greatest 01 hour: and 29 minutes ever of Japanimation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 01/14/2020 I loved this movie when I was a toddler and my toddler girl is now a huge fan. It's a bittersweet story with some scary parts, and the storyline with the kitty and the old lady makes me cry every time! Thanks to this movie I discovered Osamu Tezuka and become fascinated with the Japanese kokoro.

My neice now has a huge love for all things unicorn, but especially Unico. I realized a little while ago that part of why I fell in love with my kitten is how much he reminds me of Unico in looks and personality, the absolute sweetest baby animal in existence and though gray instead of pink/purple on top, he is exactly the same shape, fluff, and markings...and those wide innocent eyes. Thought long and hard about his name, Mouse-as he was extremely tiny until about 5 months old (we're talking the size of a baby 1/3 that age) and so delicate quiet and sweet -he fit in and loved being carried around in my shirt and still has never hissed growled or fought beyond fun wrestling, not a violent hone in his body. I now think his name should've been Unico, it just never occurred to me when he was named though it wasn't far removed in time.

Unico is a unicorn who has the ability to make anyone he meets happy. This would be all well and good, but the jealous gods believe only they should hold such a power, and so they order Unico to be banished by the West Wind. Taking pity, the west wind hides Unico, but each time Unico helps someone, the gods are alerted to his presence. The film is all about helping others and not only getting what you can from friendship. Like David Banner is the Hulk TV show, Unico can never stick around for long, leaving each story with a sad ending. Unico offers up no easy answers and explores very dark avenues which you might not expect from such a cute little unicorn. There's nothing overly sweet or condescending about this film, just a great sense of honesty and amazing animation. May upset many viewers with its brutal depiction of life and having to move on, but it leaves happy and unforgettable memories, much like the character itself.

I used to watch this all the time as a kid (The WEIRD sequel too) and i remember there were times when it frightened me and times when it enchanted me. See more Read all reviews
