ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Miguel Coyula I saw this film when I was about 8 years old. SOme of the images are still imprinted in my head. The film is all a fantasy should be: A glorious, beautiful, surreal and sometimes dark and terrifying fairy tale. This deserves to be released on DVD along with it's prequel as they are truly fantastic gems. I don't know if the film would hold up to an adult audience, but it surely made my mind fly at the time.The animation is vintage Tezuka, with the cute puppy-eyed main characters, colorful villains all with a few extra frames of animation (compared to his 1960s TV series, the animation is a step up in quality) All this topped with a imaginative story and haunting score, gives birth to a classic.

Movie Nuttball Unico: To The Magic Island or Unico: In The Island Of Magic is a very unusual animated film! Its funny and has a very dark theme to it. The music is good and fits the film. The animation is very good and is similar like the animation seen in Voltron: Defender of the Universe. The color of the cartoon is really beautiful. It has some great effects when it comes to the storms, rain, and all of the magic scenes. The English voices are cool. I thought that the voice and the look of Kuruku was really fitting. This is a very hard to find movie because its out of print and if you find this tape any where on the web, at a video store, or at some type of sale buy it immediately especially if it ha sit original case! This really is a great animated film! If you like animated features and want to see one with a dark nature and store then Unico: In The Island Of Magic is the one to watch!

eightx10 (This is a review of the English Language version)To start off with, I love this movie despite a few flaws I will discuss later. The animation, though not really slick, is visually interesting. It has some admirably serious themes (which I will not reveal because it would be a spoiler) and actually has some effective humorous element. (Most Japanese movies' humor does not translate well.)My problems with it? Well, the title character Unico is very insipid and cutesy. I realize that this is a children's movie, but the furriness of Unico somehow doesn't fit the darker nature of the film. Oh, well, he is not really the central character.I would heartily recommend this one, particularly to fans of Japanese animation.

Brandon-17 Excellent film about a cute little unicorn named Unico who has special powers. The second in the Unico seris. Can be a little confusing if you havn't seen the first one. It is a heart-warming tale about the cruelty of humuns and the joy of friendship. Personally I think everyone should see it, even though it may be hard to find since it has been discontinued.
