In an ancient world, a teddy bear army indoctrinates young recruits to wage war against the unicorns who threaten the bears’ survival. The brothers Bluey and Tubby, along with a group of inexperienced recruits, are sent on a dangerous mission to save the magical forest. Are they up to the challenge?

Described as half “Apocalypse Now”, half “Bambi”, Unicorn war is a bloody fantasy with dark humor, an allegory of human beings and their conflicted relationship with nature. The film uses childlike graphic design, the better to disguise its subversive antiwar, environmentalist message.

Filmography: Birdboy: The Forgotten Children (2015).
