Thelma the Unicorn

Thelma the Unicorn (2024) is an animated comedy-fantasy you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Jared Hess and Lynn Wang, the film features voice performances from Brittany Howard, Will Forte, Jemaine Clement, and Zach Galifianakis.

Thelma is a regular pony with big dreams and zero star power — until a freak accident involving pink paint and a stray carrot turns her into a glittering unicorn overnight. Instant fame, packed arenas, a pink limousine. The problem is that fame comes at the cost of her best friend, her small-town roots, and everything that made her Thelma in the first place.

Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes wrote the original songs and they land — not in a polite animated-movie way, but with actual energy. The film works as a kids' story about self-acceptance and doubles as a sharp-enough riff on celebrity culture for the adults in the room. Stream Thelma the Unicorn online on iFILM.
