The English-language version of Unico was released in 1983 under RCA/Columbian Picture’s “Magic Window” company, which handled children’s movies. They titled the first movie The Fantastic Adventures of Unico and the second, Unico in the Island of Magic. Both were released directly to video, and not too long after their video release, Unico and his friends became better known when The Disney Channel aired both films during the late 80s. This gave the movies much more publicity in North America, but soon the films went out of print. Many fans continued watching the movies thanks to recordings from The Disney Channel and video rental stores. Sadly, there wasn’t much Unico around when the 90s came through.
Several years went by, and the rise of DVDs was among us. In 2011, Discotek Media announced that it had licensed both films and would include English and Japanese language versions. On May 15, 2012, the DVDs were released, and everyone could watch the films in amazing quality for the first time in years. While the DVDs and Blu-rays are now out of print, the films are still available on several streaming services like Amazon or Crunchyroll.
