The Unicorn In The Garden (1953) *****
Visually stunning adaptation of James Thurber's story. A low-key, melancholic cartoon about a nice, quiet man who finds a simple (and perfectly legal) way of getting rid of his mean, obnoxious wife. The drawings have a unique, sloppy kind of look, perfectly corresponding to the central character's easy-going, unpretentious personality.
