Source: Discotek Media On May 15th, Discotek Media will release the two UNICO animated feature films on DVD. Based on a manga the legendary "God of Manga" Osamu Tezuka (ASTRO BOY, KIMBA) created for Sanrio’s Ririka magazine, this is the story of a little unicorn whose power to make anyone happy angers the gods. Condemned to wander endlessly with no home and no memories, Unico’s cheerfulness and kindness provide lessons in living in the moment in these heartrending but uplifting fables. THE FANTASTIC ADVENTURES OF UNICO (???, Uniko, 1981)

Unico the Unicorn has the amazing power to make anyone he meets happy. Whether it`s because of his personality or the powers of his horn, no one knows. However, the gods become jealous of Unico, thinking that only they should be able to decide or allow people to be happy. Unico is banished to the Hill of Oblivion, and the West Wind is ordered to take him there. She can`t stand giving this fate to Unico, so Unico`s adventures begin, as the West Wind takes him from one place and time to the next, in a neverending journey to escape the wrath of the gods. Directed by Osamu Tezuka, this classic film is available on DVD for the first time ever!
