It’s the commentary about the Teflon quality of fame and the cult of celebrity and out-of-control creative egos that make “Thelma” sing.

Rated: 3/4

Somewhere, buried under all that paint and glitter, there’s a lesson to take away from Thelma The Unicorn, but it’s nothing new.

Rated: C+

Netflix’s Thelma the Unicorn avoids being rendered completely unoriginal by its overly familiar premise thanks to consistent splashes of acid humor and a plethora of wacky supporting characters.

There was a handful of things that I enjoyed, but ultimately I thought it was empty.

I don’t think there’s enough paint and glitter to help save this movie.

Rated: 4/10

Long live Thelma the Unicorn, a plain farm pony who dreams of making it big and gets the opportunity thanks to a twist of fate that changes her appearance.

This movie was as I expected even from others who's shared their side of the story, bland and forgettable. The worst offender is having to shove the moral of the story into your face from start to finish. I will admit, some of the animation and songs were good, but for the most, they are hit-and-miss, when it comes to both Thelma and Vic Diamond. As speaking of the characters, the voice cast along with their performances are decent, even with plenty of bad writing and grossed out humor. Not to mention, for the least it shares much between the exploitation and exposure from both sides of classes since they are also part of the theme of the movie. I could imagine the children's book that this movie was based on was better if I'd read it as a kid. Overall, this is one of those animated flicks that I couldn't recommend to animation fans except to anyone with kids who would sit and watch anything bouncy to keep them quiet. 3/10.
