Thelma la licorne

Just turned it on for my daughter and got lucky. Great songs, actually funny, good characters, and had a good message. She's got it on all the time now and I really don't mind. Me and my wife love the Alabama shakes as well so that was a nice surprise that the lead singer was Thelma and it's always good to hear will forte.

I'm glad it didn't get really dark, weird or tragic. There wasn't any deaths to avenge or over your head themes to explain to my kids but it wasnt dull enough where I couldn't watch it Iether like paw patrol. Good flick if you you are sick of that strange lady bug show and barbi.

Glitter, fantasy, pink, unicorns. Check, check, check, check. Another film about staying true to who you are; having fun while doing it! Yes, there are plenty of predictable cliches here, but a fun watch for some distraction. As long as you are you expecting any in depth meaning with lasting emotional influence. Not to say there are not good lessons and themes played on throughout the film, but they are not presented in any way that we have not all seen before. It is based on characters in the book by Aaron Blabey, actually two books. Blabey also did The Bad Guys, highly recommended books + film. These illustrated children's books do indeed follow the same general truth for adult's books- namely, that books are almost always better than the film!

This movie will definitely keep you entertained for 1 hr and a half it's cute, very funny/weird, and charming animation. The characters are nice although the design and movements of some characters are questionable to say the least but that just adds to the comedic tone of this movie. The pace is very nice and it gets done what needs to get done. The songs are good, I don't think they're great, but it fits with this kind of movie. The animation isn't anything groundbreaking, but I thought the animation was better than I thought it was gonna be especially judging from the trailer, so that's nice.

So overall, I very fun film that, while not for everyone, will make you laugh and definitely keep you entertained for the time being.

It's a cute little family B movie that is lighter on divisive politics than I expected a movie about a pink unicorns to be. Refreshingly opposite of what Disney would've chose to do with it.

The plot is predictable but has a good message, especially if you dislike what the music industry has become in the last twenty years. It moves along at a fairly quick pace and won't make you crazy like some other children's entertainment.

No that isn't Tim Curry, but one would sure hope he is getting image and likeness royalties for the Vic Diamond character. It's really well done, but there is no doubt who that was modelled after.

As a huge fan of Aaron Blabey's original books it keeps the core messaging of "be yourself" but changes how Thelma is revealed which is no where near as touching or meaningful as the original story.

The extra characters are funny and the secondary story of the rival singer feel like filler vs actually being a pivotal plot point which again takes away from the power of the core message the books conveyed perfectly.

On the whole is modern and bright and my kids loved it so it gets a pass for the underlying "just be yourself" but I would have preferred it more aligned to the books.

Alas Aaron Blabey signed off so it is what it is.
