The Voyage of the Unicorn

A professor, grieving for his dead wife, and his two daughters unwillingly journey to a parallel universe of fairy court, marauding trolls, and a prophecy that they will save this nether world. They board the Unicorn, a magic ship manned by elves. In the search for a dragon who will help them fulfill the prophecy, they encounter the Minotaur, Medusa, the Sphinx, an ogre, and a unicorn whose tears they need to reverse one of Medusa's misguided stares. The trolls also seek the dragon. Capture and slavery awaits failure, while faith precedes the miracle. The spirit of their mother is close to the girls, who must find courage and imagination, while Dad must keep his wits.


My Thoughts

I remember watching The Voyage of the Unicorn once years ago.  As a lover of fantasy, I fell in love with the magical journey. I never saw it again, so I was super excited to see it on the list of releases from Mill Creek. In this film, a professor who lost his wife finds himself on a remarkable voyage with his two daughters. Though reluctant at first, the trio soon gets wrapped up in the magic of the land. They board a magical ship on a journey to save the nether world which was predicted long ago. Along the way, they meet beautiful fairies, battle trolls,and befriend Medusa. There may even be a chance at romance for the grieving dad.  

This is such a great film that never got the recognition it deserved. The special effects are amazing. The make up is stunning. Everything about it makes it a five star fantasy. It's the type of film that only comes along one in a while. It's also appropriate for all ages and makes a for a great family movie night. Grab a copy for yourself and bring a little magic into your life.
