2020 really got me making an hour-long video essay about mortality in a 1980s children's movie about unicorns, huh?

00:00 - Intro
05:16 - Making the Unicorn
14:54 - Story Breakdown
24:20 - Memento Mori
37:09 - Deaths and Legacies
47:52 - Outro

i did a super bad job of explaining the whole "on 2s" thing so uhhh no worries if you're confused by how i explained it. anyway, here is a list of the sources i used for this video; next time i think i'll try to add in-video footnotes or something:
