Gkids has acquired North American rights to Unicorn Wars — the latest genre-bending animated feature from Goya and Annecy Cristal-winning director Alberto Vázquez (Birdboy: The Forgotten Children) — ahead of its U.S.
premiere at Fantastic Fest. The horror-comedy will be released in theaters by Gkids in early 2023, following its domestic release in Spain this fall.Billed as Bambi meets Apocalypse Now, Unicorn Wars‘ logline is as follows:For ages, teddy bears have been locked in an ancestral war against their sworn enemy, the unicorns, with the promise that victory will complete the prophecy and usher in a new era.
Aggressive, confident teddy bear Bluet and his sensitive, withdrawn brother Tubby could not be more different. As the rigors and humiliation of teddy bear bootcamp turn to the psychedelic horrors of a combat tour in the Magic Forest, their complicated history and increasingly strained relationship will come to determine the fate of the entire war.Gkids’ distribution of Unicorn Wars follows its collaboration with Vázquez, as the local distributor for his Goya Award-winning feature Birdboy and short film Decorado.
Charades is repping international sales for the title, having previously pacted with Gkids on local distribution rights for past Academy Award nominee Mirai and the hit film Belle, among other films.Unicorn Wars previously featured in competition at the 2022 Annecy Animation Film Festival, and was just announced as a selection of the 2022 BFI London Film Festival.
