Unicorn Wars review

Based on a short by. Alberto Vázquez, Unicorn Wars expands on that short’s focus (the conflict of two brothers) and escalates it ten thousand fold. It now focuses on a religious war between a society of care bear-like bears and dark unicorns, with the conflict between a sweet kindly bear and an aggressive, fascist brother to drive the plot along.

The characterisation is phenomenal and shows the drive behind fanaticism and pursuing lost gains. I won’t spoil the ending, but this is exactly the kind of thing humanity needs to hear.

The animation is fantastic. 2D is a rarity in modern cinema and it works to make the gore more visceral and some scenes extremely surreal.

Overall a strong recommendation
