GKids has shared a poster and trailer for the U.S. release of adult animated horror-comedy Unicorn Wars.
Written and directed by Alberto Vazquez (Birdboy: The Forgotten Children) and described as “Bambi meets Apocalypse Now“, the genre-bending feature follows brothers Bluet and Tubby as they work through the rigors and humiliation of teddy bear bootcamp to face the horror of combat in the Magic Forest to fight against their sworn enemy, the unicorns. Watch the trailer below…
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 Aggressive, confident teddy bear Bluet and his sensitive, withdrawn brother Tubby could not be more different.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.
Unicorn Wars arrives in select cinemas and On Demand from March 10th.
