Review
Alberto Vazquez has revealed that his work is influenced by Apocalypse Now (1979 film), Bambi (1942 animated film), and the Bible.
To everyone’s surprise, the acclaimed filmmaker and illustrator has managed to brought up a masterpiece that looked like a silly project six years ago.
The movie tackles important themes such as the destructive nature of religious indoctrination, blind faith, and the power of standing up for what you believe in.
All the characters are well-developed like in Ted Lasso and the voice acting is excellent, especially from Ramon Barea as the narrator.
What is the message given by Unicorn Wars?
The film’s depiction of a war between the evolved teddy bears and the unicorns in a magical forest serves as an allegory for the dangers of blindly following religious beliefs without questioning them.
Also, the ending of this film is particularly powerful as it shows the ultimate destruction that can result from the pursuit of power and the belief in prophecy.
The movie shows how blind faith leads to the justification of atrocities committed in the name of a belief system.
