WAS IN DUBBED IN ENGLISH?: Yes

BRIEF SUMMARY
Unico the unicorn has the amazing power to make anyone he meets happy. Whether it's because of his personality or the powers of his horn, no one knows. In this story, Unico finds himself with a new friend, a young girl named Cherry. However, Cherry's long lost older brother Toby has finally come home, and is now a misguided apprentice to an insane (and not human) magician named Kuruku. When Cherry's parents get turned into weird, almost zombie-like dolls called living puppets by Kuruku, she and Unico start a quest to the very ends of the earth to get her parents and brother back. Unico and Cherry must stop Kuruku from collecting and turning every living creature on the face of the earth into living puppets.
