Skip it. 'Thelma the Unicorn' has a solid message about finding happiness in authenticity, but the mediocre reviews (60% RT, 5.7 IMDb) suggest the execution falls flat—it's a paint-by-numbers kids' movie that won't captivate either children or adults. Save your time for an animated film that actually earns its sparkle.

Plot

Thelma dreams of being a glamorous unicorn. Then in a rare pink and glitter-filled moment of fate, Thelma's wish comes true. She rises to instant international stardom, but at an unexpected cost. After a while, Thelma realizes that she was happier as her ordinary, sparkle-free self. So she ditches her horn, scrubs off her sparkles, and returns home, where her best friend is waiting for her with a hug.
