A mediocre but cute story for children

A mediocre but cute story for children

A 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.
