Tear Jerker / Unico in the Island of Magic

Like the previous Unico film by Sanrio alongside the original series by Osamu Tezuka. This film manages to contain more sadder moments than Sanrio's previous Unico adaptations.

Warning: per wiki policy, Tear Jerker pages are Spoilers Off.

• Minutes after Unico gets picked on by a trio of cats thinking he's going to attack them. We see him sitting on a log as it starts raining before he starts shedding tears◊ due to being lonely again.
• Halfway through the movie, Cheri and Unico stumble across a group of demon children - their parents, like Cheri's, were taken by Lord Kuruku. They spend a good fifteen seconds crying loudly when reminded. Even Unico and Cheri can barely resists crying.
  Unico: (struggling to keep his composure) Stop it everyone! (chokes up) When you cry like that, it makes me... (starts temporarily bawling)
• After begging Kuruku to turn her older brother Toby and her parents back to normal. Kuruku decided to turn Cheri into a puppet. A few seconds later, Unico emerges from the puppet forms of Cheri and her brother and instantly begins crying as her voice echoes inside his head. Even sadder is that this was the final time Unico and Cheri ever interacted before the titular foal gets separated once again.
• Given the combination of his abandonment-laden backstory and the "killed with kindness" aspect of his death, Kuruku manages to pull this off in the second movie.
  Kuruku: My hatred was the only thing that kept me alive. You've taken it from me... I have nothing left! But for the first time in my life - I can hardly say it. I feel good!
  • During that sequence, Unico genuinely feels sorry for Kuruku. After Unico is forced to use his horn to defeat him, he instantly apologizes to Kuruku for hurting him. He even tells Kuruku that he would become his first friend immediately after everybody is turned back to normal.
    Unico: I'm sorry that you're full of... so much hate. You think that all people are your enemies but that's only because you've never had a friend.
  • In the Japanese version, Unico tells him that "Being lonely for too long can lead people to doing bad things" since he's no stranger to being lonely and feeling despair at times. Unico even confesses to Kuruku that he would sometimes think of doing bad things but his heart tells him to remain friendly at all costs.
• Despite almost getting killed, Unico is very concerned for Kuruku as he continues screaming in pain. When he turns white, Unico runs up to him and tells him "Don't worry, I will be your friend." before uttering his last words.
• Yet again, Unico is forced to leave the friends he made and is made to forget them at the end of the movie. The friends he left don't forget him.
  • Even the movie's credits music is extra melancholy and somberer.
