Goya and Annecy Cristal-winning director Alberto Vásquez (Birdboy: The Forgotten Children) is back with another genre-bending animated feature for adults, Unicorn Wars, and a new trailer asks you to bear witness to the adorable yet grim battle ahead.
GKIDS will release the technicolor feature theatrically in select markets nationwide, and will also be available on demand from March 10, 2023.
Don’t be fooled by Unicorn Wars‘ cuddly characters; there’s nothing adorable about this brutal war.
About the film…
“It’s Bambi meets Apocalypse Now in this provocative and strangely beautiful horror comedy from acclaimed filmmaker and illustrator Alberto Vazquez (Birdboy: The Forgotten Children), who uses its outrageous candy-colored premise to explore religious zealotry, the tortured legacies of military fascism, and the depths of the soul.
“For ages, teddy bears have been locked in an ancestral war against their sworn enemy, the unicorns, with the promise that victory will complete the prophecy and usher in a new era. Aggressive, confident teddy bear Bluet and his sensitive, withdrawn brother Tubby could not be more different. As the rigors and humiliation of teddy bear bootcamp turn to the psychedelic horrors of a combat tour in the Magic Forest, their complicated history and increasingly strained relationship will come to determine the fate of the entire war.”
Vásquez wrote, directed, and art directed Unicorn Wars. It’s executive produced by Chelo Loureiro, Iván Miñambres, Nicolas Schmerkin, with music by Joseba Beristain.
