Unicorn reference! Moving from movies into more pop-culture woo. Flo our good friend at Progressive Insurance lives in a lovely place doesn't she?

The Tudor Unicorn

Check out the Wikipedia article on this one. "The supporters change sides and both appear wearing the crowns of their respective Kingdom. The dexter supporter is a crowned and chained unicorn, symbolizing Scotland. The sinister supporter is a crowned lion, symbolizing England." This is a continuation of the period pieces. They are crucial because the "European" unicorn is one of the most accurate portrayals of a unicorn. So FINALLY enjoy a REAL UNICORN!

A Knight's Tale Unicorn Cameo

Similar to the Polar Bear King post the unicorn references give a cultural reference point to the time period. Here is a subtle design that few notice. One of the trophies won by the hero of this story happens to feature a unicorn. But this is simply a horned horse... it perhaps may even be part of the horse's armor. Until tomorrow... just a horned horse

Who Framed Roger Rabbit Unicorn

To continue with goofy cartoon representations and to get back to movies, here is the end of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Look closely at who makes a cameo. While these posts are not featuring movies with significant unicorn appearances the are showing that if you look you will see a unicorn once a day. They are everywhere. Unfortunately, even though this is a baby "unicorn" it is still just a horned horse... it is the tail that is the most telling.

Betty Boop Unicorn



I haven't read Alice in Wonderland. So there is a bit that I'm missing but from the little research I've done I hear that there is a bit of a conversation between the unicorn and the lion. This will be a argument I will continue to comment on. Here is a clip from Betty Boop as her adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. There he was a staple in the story, the Unicorn.
