In 2015’s, the Spain-based filmmaker crafted a grim, melancholy and often savage world that included several minor , forlorn hints of optimism. While Unicorn Wars seems like it originated from a drive to expand the medium further, the director explained that it was more a try to convey a universal, multicultural theme concerning “the common origin of every conflict.” That message is conveyed via a group of colorful pastel bears , obviously inspired by a well-known line of lovable figures. Being raised in a community focused on militarism and the war machine, a lot of these animals are fixated on slaughtering the mythical beasts, thanks to a sacred text that claims them they used to be kings of the forest, before these creatures drove them out. Others haven’t fully fallen for the propaganda, and would rather experiment with substances and mate outdoors. In contrast to their friendly counterparts, these colorful critters have visible sexual organs , obvious libidos. For one particularly cruel, cynical bear, the character Bluey, the conflict with unicorns turns into a road toward dominance — and especially to authority above his gentler, kinder brother the character Tubby. This bear is a bully and an obvious antisocial figure , and when fear dominates his group and claims his comrades sequentially, he seizes progressively control for himself, via progressively bloody, destructive ways. Meanwhile, the horned creatures are experiencing their own nightmare, through an expanding, deadly beast in their forest. “At the beginning, it feels like a comedy,” the director commented. “However it becomes a more serious and sorrowful film. And ultimately, it becomes a horror film.” The Unicorn Wars begins feeling a bit like one of the more whimsical features from a legendary filmmaker, that discover a naughty glee in permitting drawn beings swear, fire weapons, or engage sexually. Afterward it evolves into something more like a more grim movie from the same creator, including ever more graphic violence , a palpable connection to genuine tragedy of battle.
