The Fantastic Adventures Of Unico: Special Edition
DVD
Unico. The classic cartoon character adored by
many for so many years. This is the the most well known
of the series and is quite a classical gem of
animation. To this day Unico still inspires many well
know artists around the world. Sailor Moon being a
prime example just a few years back. This is the Special
Edition and it is just amazing. It has beautiful menus (some
motion menus) with vibrant Unico artwork. It is chock
full of stuff that diehard Unico fans will love. The biggest
being the original Japanese pilot of Unico! This is the raw
pilot that started it all.... in Japanese. See how Unico was
first brought to the animation world. There are also scene
selection menus, animated trailers, oh yeh, and really cool Unico
trivia info, i.e facts, and a 'Bloopers' list.
I've watched this cartoon hundreds of times and was amazed I didn't
catch a few of the Bloopers they mentioned. The menus
all have music as well and it is quite entertaining to say the
least. I want to give a brief Unico summary to all those who
are not familiar with the Unico story.
Summary: Unico the magical Unicorn is born with
incredible powers that make people happy. But that angers some very
jealous gods. They order the West Wind to cast the tiny Unicorn
into exile and thus begins Unico's amazing adventures. He's whisked
away to the Land of Mist on the Edge of the Earth where he teaches
the meaning of friendship to Beezil. The pesky little Devil of
Solitude. But Unico cannot stay. He journeys on to meet Katy a sad
little kitty who dreams of becoming a witch. When Unico's magic
transforms her into a beautiful girl she falls under the spell of a
wicked count and a raging demon. Evil and hatred challenge Unico's
powers of love.
MAIN MENU SHOT:
The video still lives up to today. The
animation is very beautiful and flows smoothly. The DVD
itself is in mint condition. The case artwork is very
nice as well, I'll try to include a few pictures so you have a
better idea. And while the DVD is from Japan the main story
is in English entirely. The pilot is japanese as it was
never dubbed into English. The quality of the main story is
excellent. I was extremely impressed with the colors and the
sound. Even though it is almost 25 years old, i could barely
tell. The pilot on the other hand is only fair quality, with
many 'wobbles'. I think they just threw it onto the special
features for the fans. And being a diehard fan, it is definitely my
favorite part of the DVD. It really gives you a unique
perspective of how Unico got developed, as well as just
being a very interesting thing to watch. I never knew it
existed on any format until this DVD. Let's see
what else...oh yeh, chapter markings as well throughout! The
DVD has some nice text & graphics as well on it. And it
will play on any player around the world as well so that's
awesome. NTSC format. Oh yeh and the total runtime of
everything is about 2 hours exactly. If you
are new to the Unico adventures, or a diehard fan you will really
enjoy this DVD. Thanks for checking out my
