Charlie and the Candy Mountain

http://www.sodahead.com/other/would-you-like-to-share-your-favorite-dream/question-596711/
Charlie and The Candy Mountain is the first of several episodes of the series of adventures of Charlie the unicorn created by TypeQueen. Charlie is a regular unicorn without the "fantasy exaggerated happinness" most unicorns portrait in cartoons and movies. Charlie is simply a common folk who likes to sleep and watch T.V like any regular guy nowadays. However, two other unicorns who share the annoying fantasy habbit to seek adventures, enjoy disturbing Charlie and taking him away form his regular life. When Charlie is pratically forced to go along with them,"things usually go bad..."-Charlie. What I enjoy about the episodes is how Charlie is mixed up in this fairy like land. He is just a regular guy who wants to relax but is never able to do so because of the two other annoying unicorns. What is ironic and hilarious about these unicorns though, is how they seem naive, but are actually pretty evil. When Charlie is coerced to embark on an adventure with them, he loses his kidney and in the next episode loses his T.V. Therefore, both "inocent and sweet" unicorns steal Charlie's kideny and T.V. Another thing I enjoy about the series is how unicorns are portraited as mean and only seem to be sweet and nice. I always knew unicorns were mean and always hated to watch cartoons which envolved them.

  1. Nice post and use of video. I've never seen this cartoon before.

    Something seems awry, though. My dashboard says this post was published about an hour ago (3 PM Sunday, Sept. 20), and your post reads Saturday, Sept. 19. ???

  3. JP, unicorns are magical creatures filled with wonder and joy. Any video depicting them as evil animals is certainly flawed.

  7. Well, I beleive this video depicts a true version of unicorns and they certainly could pay their bills by going to the circus and flying around. Another option would be becoming tourists and taking people on this "magical ride,".
