Thelma the Unicorn

The core message of the film is to value yourself for who you are, not how you look. Characters become celebrities based on falsified versions of themselves; they're acting, and social media perpetuates the falsehoods. Characters are a variety of species, including humans and a range of animals. One of the heroic human characters is depicted as an older Black woman who is blind (she keeps repeating that she doesn't care what others look like). The main character is voiced by a well-known Black singer. The bad guy is a smarmy Brit who manipulates others, though we also see through his backstory that he's also putting on an act to overcome his own social awkwardness. A young fan is in a wheelchair.

Animated characters experience falls, crashes, near misses, fights, explosions, electrocutions, and other accidents. Characters are threatened, including with an online video exposing one after someone was tasked with "digging up dirt" on them. There's a mention of murder in passing.

A man is seen from a distance in his underwear after a portable bathroom he's using explodes. A group of buff "pool boys" sing and dance, some shirtless or in bathing suits. A female character is pushed to flirt with a male character and embark on a false relationship for the press. They make a music video about their relationship.

"Moron," "dang," "heck," "dumb," "sellout," and potty language like "poo," "pooper," "butt," "bum," "dank-poopy-butt," and "nipple."

In one scene, a horse is seen holding a champagne glass with a straw in it.
