Trivia / Unicorn Wars

• Cross-Dressing Voices: Spanish actress, Jaione Insausti, voices Gordi (who is male) with a clearly feminine voice.
• International Co Production: This movie was made in collobartion between French and Spanish studios.
• No Dub for You: Unlike Bird Boy: The Forgotten Children, the film has no English dub, despite the concept trailer having one.
• Word of God: Thanks to interviews with the movie creator, a lot of info on the characters and lore was revealed that was not in the movie here, here and here.
  • The creator uses a different representation of unicorns than the traditional one. In this film, unicorns are portrayed as wild animals with a healing role but do not hesitate to defend themselves or attack when threatened. The creator sees the unicorns as something akin to a pack of wolves rather than the pure white or infantile image they have been given throughout history, and the fact that they are silhouetted gives them a more mysterious aspect.
    • All of the unicorns are female.
  • According to the creator, UNICORN WARS looks like a fable or a fairy tale, but in reality, it is an antifable with no moral, i.e., a dark fable for adults and with a contemporary language and narrative that has its own mythology.
  • The monster that appears at the beginning and end of the film functions as a prologue and an epilogue. It’s serving as a metaphor for what’s coming later. The monster for me is a god without a form; a god adored as a leader, but a god that’s still yet to evolve. When the end comes, the god takes shape, and the prophecy of the book of the bears is fulfilled.
