I am guessing they put little in the title because, "The Unicorn" did not have a nice ring to it? I am not sure what the deal was as the unicorn is not very small for very long in this one. The movie was also full of characters with little to no backstory, strange boarding school plot points and George Hamilton. Total insanity ensues as this film is a chuck it in a blender and see what happens type of film and if I had to take a guess, I would say it is made by the same company that did The Fairy King of Ar as it features the same type of strange and misshapen house that film did.
The story, a girl is at her granddad's house, well she leaves there, I think. Her mom picks her up at school, no wait, her aunt, who wants to send her to boarding school which is apparently very far away. Well, actually it is just on the other side of the county. Well a horse dies, but it gave birth to a sparkling blue unicorn, who the girl screams at, blaming it for the death of the horse, before she is apologizing to it for her reaction. Word gets out and soon people are trying to get the unicorn, and rather than try to offer money for it, they all resort to trying to steal it while little girl continues having strange reactions to things throughout the movie!
This film is just nuts as it makes no sense. You just cannot steal something, yet this film makes it out like they are leaving in some Mad Max dystopian future where if you gain something it is yours! Then there are poor reactions that make no sense, they see the unicorn take off and fly with little girl on its back, and yet act surprised when it starts to fly again at the end. They also seem to think that when the unicorn explodes it is free. Lots of actors in this to get a paycheck as we have David Warner and George Hamilton and a few more of note.
So, not a very good film as the effects are terrible given when this one is made and the unicorn is not little which is like false advertising! You have poor reactions by the actors which falls on the director and then you have things set up and nothing happens as I was sure that Hamilton or his assistant would have some sort of change of heart at the end, but nothing occurs and then you have a police officer that is apparently in love with the aunt and it was a strange relationship that seemed to come out of nowhere. This film most likely went nowhere as it is quite bad, but at least it gave us all such a visual feast of a unicorn exploding!
