A mediocre but cute story for children

A mediocre but cute story for childrenA crippled boy who lost his father moves with his mother to an inherited house in some Canadian hinterland. As a city child, and also a cripple, he doesn't fit in very well. During a visit to the circus, he decides to save a pony on the verge of death. It turns out to be a female, who soon gives birth to a real unicorn. Now it's up to the boy to protect this magical being from the public eye and a potentially tragic fate if discovered.A cliche boy-animal story, which doesn't bring even a hint of originality. A film that does not stand out in any way, neither in a positive nor in a negative sense. A variation on a theme that has been chewed over a million times, from which I did not expect anything, so it could not disappoint me. It's quite a decent choice for a lazy afternoon with the kids because all kids love unicorns. If you're not watching with kids, skip.5/10.

A nice little gem for family viewing!

A Canadian film about a mother and son who move after an accident that has killed the husband/father and crippled the son. Feeling alone and somewhat bitter the son visits the circus only to find a neglected pony. After purchasing the horse he discovers it's pregnant and guess what it gives birth to? A unicorn! Needless to say, life then takes a turn for the better... Charming and touching film, perhaps much better than you'd ever expect, this is great for an older family audience.
