It’s the commentary about the Teflon quality of fame and the cult of celebrity and out-of-control creative egos that make “Thelma” sing.

Rated: 3/4

Somewhere, buried under all that paint and glitter, there’s a lesson to take away from Thelma The Unicorn, but it’s nothing new.

Rated: C+

Variety

Netflix’s Thelma the Unicorn avoids being rendered completely unoriginal by its overly familiar premise thanks to consistent splashes of acid humor and a plethora of wacky supporting characters.

There was a handful of things that I enjoyed, but ultimately I thought it was empty.

I don’t think there’s enough paint and glitter to help save this movie.

Entertaining for all ages, great music, great comedy (keep an eye out for the Here Comes the Cud video!) and a very good satire on falseness and exploitation in the pop music industry

I couldn't even finish it. Yeah it was pretty god dang awful. I don't even think they tried while making this movie! Who asked for this! The acting sucks, not funny, it sucks! If you want an animated movie with animals, just watch Zootopia, or the bad guys, or even Over the hedge! Yeah this movie is straight up trash. 1/10 trash movie never watch it.
