BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Perception_de_Ambiguity Have you ever met one of those uniquely charismatic and seemingly selfless people where whenever you were around them all you wanted was to get their attention and whenever you got it and spent time with that person you felt carefree and everything you did seemed to come much easier? And have you ever become friends with such a person and you were so close to each other that you thought you would be best friends forever but very soon your paths parted and you never saw that person again and whenever you think back to that time it's almost like the world had a different color and flavor during that short period and in some regards it changed your outlook on the world forever and you sadly wonder "who was that person anyway"? Uncio the "uniquehorn" is such a person. He first tries everything to befriend a grumpy loner who after meeting Unico starts to feel lonely and gradually realizes that he could need a friend until eventually he even opens up to the idea of being more welcoming to other people as well. Unico leaves and now befriends a girl whom he helps to come of age through their eye-opening friendship and when her life is threatened because the inexperienced young woman falls into the trap of a sexual predator Unico and his grumpy friend come to her rescue and through their united effort they succeed. Now Unico has to leave them both forever as he is carried away by the wind and it is a hard goodbye that nobody is happy about but what must be must be and he will not be forgotten.Superficially 'Unico' looks and plays like a cartoon for six-year-old girls; sweet, sappy, nonsensical and pretty dully animated but its exploration of the theme is thoughtful and even if it isn't particularly profound it's a theme I hadn't really seen explored before in a film and it was focused enough on it to keep me interested throughout in what otherwise would have been an unbearable kiddie movie. Also remarkably the characters are consistently believable despite their shrillness and their character arcs ring true. Eventually one learns much less about Unico than about his friends, and that is only right. Personally I could definitely identify with the elusive Unico character… Recommended to every six-year-old girl who is reading this.

eshghefilm When I was a little girl, my best day was when my parents took me to the theatres to watch Unico for one more time or our national television showed it. I don't know what it was maybe pure magic but the movie had very strong influence on me or even my parents that lived through us to the day. A little lovely creature with a horn that care about others and when he gets back what he has given from his friends he becomes powerful in the form of the most magnificent creature I have ever seen.A few days ago when I saw this movie after 15 years the same feelings of my childhood returned to me: Love, forgiveness,friendship,happiness,excitement,and a bit of sadness in the end. I keep this DVD as a treasure though not of very good quality because Unico is my all time favourite animation.

silence6182 *SPOILER* I was 6 when I watched this and I dare say it was the most impressive movie of my childhood. I was attracted from the first moment to the last. I loved the scenes and the story. As a child you never judge by the techniques or the technology. You just know that you like it or not. It is the impression that counts. and I tell you I loved it as a kid and so did ALL my friends then. I don't remember some scenes now but I definitely remember the winds and unico's friend (who became a unico) and the girl. I loved the scene when he became a unicorn by attracting his friend's love and pity to save the enchanted girl. I strongly recommend it for any kid around you.

neddunn Unico, the Magical Unicorn, is born with incredible powers that make people happy. But that angers some very jealous gods. They order the West Wind to cast the tiny Unicorn into exile- and thus begins Unico's amazing adventures.Entertainment for the entire family, rich in lessons of love and kindness, beautifully told in high-quality animation. Original score.
