What at first feels like the feature-length version of an Adult Swim cartoon (not that there’s anything wrong with that!) soon turns out to be an unholy cross between Care Bears and antiwar movie with a surprisingly dramatic edge. Cute small bears train in a military camp. Indoctrination, peer pressure, bullying, and genocidal fantasies are the order of the day, before a troop of green recruits are sent to the nearby magical forest to kill the hated unicorns that live there. A battle of life and death begins.
