Dark but clever

This story is based on a James Thurber story. It's told using very simple Thurber-style drawings.

A man sees a unicorn in the garden. He tells his evil and cranky wife and she tells him to get lost. Again he sees the unicorn and wakes her once again. She tells him they are mythical creatures and tells him again to get lost. Then, she gets out of bed and calls a psychiatrist and the police to have him committed. When they arrive, they think she's crazy. The beleaguered husband, when asked about the animal, responds that "unicorns are mythical creatures" at which point they shove a straight jacket on her and take her away as the film ends.

While this is a cute and moderately diverting cartoon, it definitely has a dark edge to it, as both husband and wife are pretty sinister people. Worth a look but younger kids will probably get nothing out of it.
