Back in 2015’s, the Spain-based filmmaker developed a grim, somber , frequently brutal world that included a few small , forlorn hints of optimism. While The Unicorn Wars seems like it stemmed from a desire to advance animation even more, the director clarified that it was more an effort to communicate a widespread, cross-cultural message regarding “the mutual source of all wars.” That idea is expressed by means of a squad of vividly colored bears , clearly modeled after a famous series of lovable characters. Being raised in a culture centered on aggression and the defense industry, a lot of these animals are consumed by slaughtering the mythical beasts, due to a religious scripture that claims them they previously were rulers of the woods, before the horned beings expelled them. Others haven’t fully accepted the indoctrination, , would rather experiment with narcotics or fornicate in the woods. Unlike their friendly counterparts, these colorful critters display sexual organs , clear libidos. For one particularly cruel, skeptical animal, Bluey, the conflict with unicorns turns into a road to control — and particularly to supremacy over his softer, kinder brother Tubby. This bear behaves aggressively , a seeming psychopath , and as horror takes over his group and kills his fellow soldiers one by one, he takes more and more influence personally, through ever more bloody, destructive ways. At the same time, these mythical beings are enduring their own terror, in the form of a spreading, deadly beast in their forest. “At the beginning, it appears as a lighthearted film,” the filmmaker commented. “But then it becomes a more intense and sad film. And by the end, it’s a horror film.” Unicorn Wars starts out feeling a bit like one of the more playful films by a renowned animator, that discover a wicked pleasure in allowing drawn beings curse, engage in violence, or have intimate relations. Subsequently it turns into something more like a more grim movie from the same artist, featuring progressively visual gore , a noticeable link to the real suffering of conflict. By the end, it is a complete theatrical horror bloodbath. The horror that makes this a Halloween-friendly watch starts well before than one might expect.
