One of my all time favorites.

Memorable, crazy movie

Fresh and Exciting

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

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.

This is a movie that, for those of us who saw it as a kid, transports you to a magical world... where you're 4-6 years old and anything can happen. Even Magic. Yes, this movie has the kind of power to bring you back in time. You Will remember songs that you long forgot... and you might end up singing them in front of your s/o if they are watching it with you.Here's the catch: If you didn't see this movie as a child, you may not like it very much. I revisited this movie today and it was a little different from the magical movie I had remembered. Yes, it still brought me back in time, but I noticed the Voice Acting is shrill/annoying and not very well dubbed at times. It's probably because this was one of the first Anime. So, keep that in mind if you find yourself distracted by dialogue that doesn't match the words coming out of various character's mouths. The beautiful thing is that the EMOTION is still there. You can see it in their eyes, hear it in the music, feel it in your heart.*************SPOILERS************************************** I'm not really sure how appropriate this movie is for kids nowadays, but my parents thought it was fine and they let me watch it over and over. I say let your kid watch it. There are some definite dark moments that could scare your kids. There are some parts of this movie that, as an adult, are akin to violence against women and date rape drugs. If you're super religious, you probably will not appreciate the fact that the little blue devil is a "good guy" or that there are Mulitple, doofus 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 never would have made that connection otherwise. Forget about the adult themes, your kids won't pick them up. They will get that this is a movie that is about Ultimate good vs. Ultimate evil, and it's wrapped up with 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 a movie you loved as a child, holds up as an adult. A lot of times the movie just isn't what we remembered, how we remembered it. Unico is different. In the movie Unico has the power to make the people around him happy. They never forget him and neither will you. I know I never did. 9/10 stars.

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.

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.
