🔗 Share this article The Grisly Animated Film Ending That Stays With Viewers Out of every adult-oriented cartoon movies I have personally viewed, nothing has remained with me as much as the terror-laced ending of a viscerally violent and highly provocative film from 2022 Unicorn Wars. In 2015’s, this Spain-based writer-director crafted a dark, bleak and often savage universe that included some tiny , forlorn hints of hope. While Unicorn Wars appears as it came from a drive to push the medium even more, the filmmaker explained that it was rather a try to communicate a global, cross-cultural theme regarding “the shared root of all wars.” That idea is communicated via a group of colorful pastel bears , openly modeled after a famous line of cuddly figures. Growing up in a society centered on aggression and the military-industrial complex, many of the bears are consumed by killing the mythical beasts, because of a sacred text that tells them they used to be masters of the forest, before the horned beings drove them out. Others have not completely bought into the indoctrination, and prefer to try out narcotics and engage sexually in the woods. Unlike their gentle counterparts, these bright beings have visible sexual organs and definite urges. For a particular notably brutal, pessimistic creature, Bluey, the battle with the unicorns turns into a route to control — and particularly to authority above his gentler, kinder brother Tubby. This bear is a bully , a seeming antisocial figure , and when fear takes over his squad and claims his comrades one by one, he seizes more and more control for himself, in increasingly bloody, damaging approaches. Meanwhile, the horned creatures are enduring their own terror, in the form of a growing, destructive monster in their habitat. “At the beginning, it seems like a lighthearted film,” the filmmaker commented. “But then it evolves into a more serious and sorrowful film. And by the end, it transforms into a terrifying movie.” Unicorn Wars starts out feeling a bit like among the playful features from a renowned filmmaker, which find a mischievous joy in allowing drawn beings swear, fire weapons, or have intimate relations. Afterward it turns into more akin to a bleaker film from the same artist, with increasingly visual gore and a palpable link to the real suffering of war. By the end, it’s an outright theatrical horror carnage. The terror that makes the film a perfect Halloween watch begins much sooner than indicated. Unicorn Wars is ideal for the devoted fans of gore, for lovers of graphic films who wish to watch something they haven’t ever watched previously, and who can handle a narrative that offers no restraint. Watch it with the lights off without any distractions, and that ending will burrow under your skin and stay with you. Availability: Offered for digital rental or sale on various streaming sites.
