story identification - Cartoon with a young unicorn and a demon


In the late 80s or early 90s I remember watching an animated series that followed a young unicorn and a demon.


In one episode the unicorn gave the demon his horn, and the unicorn almost died.


In another episode there was a man who was able to turn people into human shaped building blocks and built a huge tower from them.


Those are the two scenes I remember with any clarity.


Does anyone have any idea?

The Fantastic Adventures of Unico (1981) - Movie Poster Unico in the Island of Magic (1983) - Movie Poster


You're looking for the animated films featuring "Unico" :-)




Unico is a baby unicorn with white fur, a pink mane, and little cinnamon bun-shaped ears, who was born with the very special gift of making all living creatures lighthearted and happy. His friends include Beezle, the young Devil of Solitude; Chao ("Katy"), a naive little kitty who longs to be a human girl, and to learn magic from a real witch; a spunky little Sphinx, and a warm-hearted human girl named Cheri.

This is the film where he loses or rather gives away his horn and gets into big trouble....



[Unico] agrees to hand over his horn to Beezle if he promises to be Best Friends Forever. With Unico's horn now part of him Beezle becomes even more 'spirited' (unbearable) and chases Unico around the island and eventually off a cliff, into the sea. Without his horn Unico is powerless and begins to drown...

This is the one with the castle made up of human building blocks....



Lord Kuruku plans to turn all living creatures, animals and people alike, into zombie-like beings called "Living Puppets" [these are the scary human building blocks in the movie] to be his slaves. Toby [Cheri's brother] works for Lord Kuruku, his job is to change people into Living Puppets and then lure them to Kuruku's island castle in exchange for learning more of Kuruku's magic.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...

How do Pokemon trainers collect their winnings?

According to Bulbapedia , Prize money is the money that a Trainer pays out at the end of a battle. So we know that the money comes directly from the trainer that just lost, and not some third-party committee or sponsor. But how is this done? It can be easy seeing the random trainers who challenge you along the way wanting to wager and then, after admitting defeat, sticking to their word and handing over their hard-earned pokebucks. Then there are the likes of Team Rocket and Giovanni, who also give money once they lose. This doesn't seem like something people in a criminal organization would willingly do. From this it appears that trainers have no say in whether or not they cough up the dough after losing, but I can't find anything on how exactly the funds are transferred from loser to winner. So how do Pokemon trainers receive their winnings?
