Back in the year 2015, the Spain-based filmmaker developed a dark, melancholy , frequently brutal universe that included several minor , forlorn hints of hope. Although Unicorn Wars seems like it stemmed from an impulse to push the medium even more, the director clarified that it was actually a try to convey a global, cross-cultural message regarding “the shared root of every conflict.” This theme is communicated through a band of vividly colored bears , openly modeled after a popular series of lovable figures. Being raised in a community centered on aggression as well as the defense industry, a lot of these creatures are fixated on killing the mythical beasts, because of a holy book that claims the bears they used to be kings of the woods, until the unicorns drove them out. A few did not entirely fallen for the propaganda, , choose to try out drugs or engage sexually outdoors. Unlike their cuddly equivalents, these colorful critters have visible genitals , clear urges. For a particular especially vicious, skeptical animal, Bluey, the battle with unicorns becomes a path to control — and especially to dominance over his softer, kinder brother the character Tubby. This bear behaves aggressively and an apparent psychopath , and while horror dominates his unit and takes his comrades individually, he seizes progressively power for himself, through ever more gory, destructive ways. At the same time, the horned creatures are suffering their own terror, as an expanding, destructive monster in their woods. “Initially, it feels like a comedy,” the director said. “However it turns into a more dramatic and melancholic film. And by the end, it transforms into a scary feature.” The Unicorn Wars starts out resembling one of the most playful features from a renowned animator, that discover a naughty glee in letting cartoon characters curse, engage in violence, or engage sexually. Then it turns into something more like a bleaker movie by that same creator, featuring progressively graphic violence and a palpable relation to the actual tragedy of war.
