U

Title: U
Creators: Gregoire Solotareff & Serge Elissalde
Ages: 6-9
Rating: 3/5

Plot: Mona is a lonely princess until one day U the unicorn appears. With U by her side, Mona grows up to be a happy and beautiful, though selfish teenager. Life is made more interesting when the Wewe's move into the forest nearby, especially as Mona finds she has feelings for the guitarist in the family.

Assessment: The film is lovely to watch as the colours are very bright, although the animation seems somewhat dated. The characters are lovable, except of course Mona's parents who are quite rude!

The story progresses really quickly, and I was often confused as to what the plot was or where the story was going.

Note: This film is in French, but may be played with the optional English subtitles.
