Unico, il piccolo unicorno

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.

I saw this film when I was only a boy, yet to this day I remember it with wonder and excitement. Fantasy helps us recapture our youth, and I highly recommend that this tale be seen by anyone who has ever dreamed of doing so. It truly is a story for all ages to cherish.

Unico is the type of character that stays with you and might have had an influence on u growing up. This is a movie that transports you to a colorful world where anything can happen. Even Magic. It has the kind of power that brings u back in time. U Will remember songs that you long forgot... and u might end up singing them in front of your s/o if they watch it with u. Shamelessly and at top volume.

Here's the catch: If u didn't see this movie as a child, u might not like it. I revisited it today and it was a little different from the whimsical adventure I remembered. It still brought me back in time, but I noticed the Voice Acting can be shrill & annoying. It's not well dubbed at times, which can be distracting. It's probably because this was one of the first Anime. The beautiful thing is that the EMOTION is still there. U can see it in their eyes, hear it in the music, feel it in your heart. Be one with Unico and live to make others happy. We won't be here forever.

I'm not sure how appropriate this movie is for kids nowadays, but my parents thought it was fine. They let me watch it over and over, to the point where i would drive them and my brother insane. That being said. I say let your kid watch it. There are some darker moments that could scare your kids. Some parts of this movie i noticed as an adult, allude to violence against women. If you're religious, u might not appreciate the little blue devil is a "good guy" and there are jealous gods up in heaven calling for Unico to be sent to the land of oblivion. So Gods= bad, devil= good. I didn't infer that; this was something my boyfriend mentioned. I wouldn't've made that connection otherwise. Forget about the adult themes, your kids won't care. Simply put, this is a movie that is about Ultimate good vs. Ultimate evil, wrapped in a cute little light blue, baby unicorn bow.

I watched this movie over and over as a kid and it was one of my favorite movies. I think we might have spent 100.00+ on Unico rental fees. It's rare when something u loved as a child, holds up as an adult. Often movies don't live up to what we remembered or how we felt watching it. Unico is different. He has the power to make the people around him happy. Even though he can't stay, they never forget him. Neither will you. I know I never did. 8/10 stars.

Gorgeous animation and art design, super cute characters, courtesy of Osamu Tezuka. Owes a big debt to golden age Disney, such as Snow White. Never quite reaches the heights of a Disney picture so doesn't really get beyond being a homage. But a lovely film to watch regardless. Highly recommended.

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.
