Beagle. It is geared for children, and at that level it is a good film. Unfortunately, this reduces the depth of the story. The evil and frightful monsters and not so evil, nor as frightful, as the book has them. The Unicorn, and the initial woodland scenes, are a bit too cute. The character of Smedrick (sp?) is well done, except that he is younger than I had imagined. The credits supprised me. The film is a Japanese production. Perhaps this story has universal appeal. Take your kids to see this one. If you don't have any, wait until it hits television. Marc Majka - UBC Laboratory for Computational Vision
