On Wednesday, the Annecy Animation Festival hosted a live, in-person Work in Progress panel for Spanish filmmaker Alberto Vázquez’s “Unicorn Wars” at the Salle Pierre Lamy, perhaps indicating that …
“Unicorn Wars” unspools amidst a prophesized apocalyptic war between religious zealot teddy bears and pragmatic, environmentalist unicorns who have fought for as long as anyone alive can remember. However, while the film’s overarching backdrop is the ancestral wars between the species, Vazquez explained that, “The real story is of two bears who fight for the love of their mother.”
According to their religious texts, in the beginning the bears lived in harmony with the other animals of the forest, but one day found the religious script which led the animals to knowledge, morality, order and progress. With their newfound sense of superiority over the animal kingdom, the bears started a war of domination, but were defeated and driven out of their woodland home.
The unicorns in “Unicorn Wars” are caretakers who use their magic to commune with the forest animals and keep the ecosystem safe and thriving. Main among them, narratively at least, is Maria, a teenager whose mother has left the girl alone hoping she will find her own way in life.
From there, technical supervisor Fiona Cohen took over the day’s proceedings and went into the nitty gritty of how the film is being made across several studios in different cities in Spain and France. Cohen also shared the day’s final clip, although a much rougher cut than the previous two. In the scene, a bear jumps through the air with his knife in hand, only to be impaled on a unicorn horn and tossed aside like discarded trash. As the unicorn’s full form fills the screen, it’s clear the beast has taken several blows and heart-tipped arrows itself however, and it limps towards another pair of armed and bloodthirsty bears.
