The Little Unicorn (2002)

Wikipedia

The Little Unicorn is a 2002 direct-to-video film written, co-produced and directed by Paul Matthews. Polly Regan and her grandfather have to rescue a little unicorn, when it’s captured by a circus’ owners.

My first thoughts on this one is that it’s almost exactly the same as Nico the Unicorn, except it’s a girl instead of a boy.

Well, the movie starts off pretty quickly, a foal is born during a lightning storm, and hey, it’s a unicorn. A nosy reporter soon shows up and the world suddenly has a real live unicorn. Shortly after a broke circus troop wants the unicorn to resurrect their show, a magician is after the horn so he can do real magic, and the owners of a horse farm want it for a stud.

Now its up to Polly to save the magical beast.

Obviously she does, and her fractured family learns to love again (what’s with all the missing family members in family fantasy movies??). There is a little more to the plot, as some of the villains get their way for awhile, and the others just get in the way, but the unicorn is saved, and the little girl gets her family back.
