The Fantastic Adventures of Unico (1981)

The Fantastic Adventures of Unico is a Japanese animated feature based on the childs manga 'Unico'.  In the story Unico is a unicorn that brings happiness to others, however is banished by the gods because they believe only they should be able to change peoples emotions. The story tells the tales of Unicos travels and his befriending of different characters, who he eventually helps improve the lives of. I remember watching his animated feature when I was younger and didn't quite understand any of it, but looking back on it I really like the direction this 'children's animated film' goes and how innocent the story telling is.


The animation looks to be classic CEL animation and Yoshiaki Kawjiri is the only documented 'key animator' for this feature.
