A journey through MadHouse chapter 7: a film that without the Madhouse seal I would never have seen.
Without this journey I doubt very much that I would have been encouraged to see things from the 80s and much less children's films from this time. Unico is one of those films that tell you that it is better to talk after having given the film a chance. It is a family film that even leaves a couple of morals along the way. The fact that Unico's power is to grant happiness, already makes it enjoyable for children and adults because of the characters it will explore. Happiness is something that can only be granted when it is not available. Seeing the scenarios, reasons or situations that can make a person unhappy helps the little ones to assimilate why someone can be sad, angry or irritated.…

I really wanted to see this film since months and is pretty good if you like old anime movies or you like the works of Osamu Tezuka. It is quite enjoyable even if it is a children's movie, Unico's story is simple but okay and I like the sad touch they give in the movie, apart from the fact that I love how cute his design is. The other characters in the movie are adorable and interesting, each with their own role so far in the story and as for the villain I don't have much to say because he appears suddenly but it's fine I guess although the end of the movie was the same what I liked the most, good ending for this movie. The artwork is precious and the songs fit well with the atmosphere of the movie. The truth is I hope Sanrio will remember Unico and release something new about him because…

This is cute movie to watch with the kids (if you have some) or with a friend. The story is quite simple, which is not bad considering this is a kid's movies.
The music is very cute and the art is nicely done.
The fight scene towards the end of the movie was crazy and vibrant in color. The fight scene remind me of the dragon fight in sleeping beauty.
I would of liked to see Unico meet more people. but the two he did meet were both good. I liked the cat and her naïve. It drove the plot forward and caused good character development and was taught a good lesson about kindness. The demon Unico meets learns about friendship and how to be a good friend. Kid movies should have morals like these in them.
The west and winter winds are good plot devices, which can be use to continue the story…

This review contains minor spoilers!
I decided to watch this movie on a whim, expecting nothing of it, and I was pleasantly surprised, particularly by the first 30 minutes of the film. After the absolutely adorable opening song, Unico is sent away to a wasteland. The lonely, cold atmosphere really got to me, and seeing Unico, the beacon of happiness and hope, pull through and turn the selfish, temperamental devil Akuma into a charmingly awkward friend was really inspirational.
Sadly, the rest of the movie is much more average and not well-constructed. The second character Unico meets on his journeys is Chao the cat, a far less charming friend than Akuma. She stays a boring ditz the whole movie, not really learning much from Unico.
The villain, while totally fearsome and creepy (mostly…
