Yuniko

This was the beginning for anime's of today. I strongly believe that. But I first saw this movie when I was really young. I was fascinated on why the GODS were so angry with Unico for making people happy. A five year old child doesnt see anything wrong with people being happy. But I digress. Though I strongly detested Katie, I really like the Besil (I think) and when he was mistreating Unico I wasnt to angry at him.

I was awed by Unico's transformation scene, and angry at how silly he acted sometimes. I watched this for hour's on end, till the point where my parents were so sick of watching it that they would take it away and hide it.

Though when we moved I lost alot of the old classic movies, I magically held on to Unico, along with Sea Prince and The Fire Child. I recently sat down to watch it, and none of that magic was gone for me. I would laugh when I remembered a part from so long ago. But the magic was still there. I still wish, like I had when I was a kid, that Unico would have stayed the bigger version of himself.

A must see, just for the pure cuteness of this film.

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 still remember the movie, or at least some parts of it. I watched it with my sisters on the disney channel and now, I wished that we knew how to work the VCR cuase we could have recorded the movie. I still remeber katie and when unico first turned into a white pegusus. and I remember the magic rocking horse and how he told him the story of that one creppy witch. and I also remeber the battle between the witch and unico and the baron who turned into a demon. and i faintly remember this one little blue dude, who tried on unico's horn which gave him the ability to run really fast. I wished that me and my sisters had recorded it.

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 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.
