We are quietly superfans of this show too! Unicorn Academy is one of our favorites and we are excited for you to bring some of that Sparkle Book magic to your ideas. While we don't have Unicorn Academy characters – you can create your own Unicorn and animate them to tell your story.

Unicorn Academy Characters

Our favorite Unicorn Academy characters are definitely the stars - Unicorn Academy Sophia and Wildstar. We love their grit, determination and courage to protect their friends no matter what evil haunts the island. Their story is an inspiration for Unicorn riders everywhere and watching the show is a great place to start as you begin imagining what Unicorn stories you want to animate yourself!

Unicorn Academy Toys

One of the greatest gifts you can give a fan is not just Unicorn Academy Toys or Unicorn Academy characters coloring books — but the ability to animate a story with one's own custom characters.

In a world filled with stress, a trip to Unicorn Island is a welcome gift.

Unicorn meaning and exploring the world of Unicorns

Around the world the Unicorn meaning and magic has different interpretations. We encourage you to explore the Unicorn meaning in different cultures if you are considering a marketing campaign with a Unicorn. Below are a few sample searches to explore as you do your research for storytelling globally with an animated Unicorn.

Rainbow Unicorn

Rainbow Unicorns are said to possess to prism power of light - this enables them to build Unicorn rainbow bridges. These can be between worlds or magical kingdoms. You can explore telling a story of a Rainbow Unicorn by adding a Rainbow arc bridge background to your story. To find this, go to the backgrounds icon in the left hand bar and select the Rainbow background.

Unicorn Hair

Unicorn Hair is said to have the powers of eternal life and immortality. These are often mixed into magical potions and have endangered Unicorns in many fairytales as nefarious villains try to get their hands on Unicorn hair. To tell a story of Unicorn Hair, it helps to zoom in close to the head of your Unicorn. You can experiment with close up shots and zoom in shots using the Camera angles tab in the video editor.

Robot Unicorn

Robot Unicorn stories can take different approaches - for us we opt for a fun one! Try having your Unicorn do a robot dance. You can go to the animations tab in the video editor and search 'Robot' – try on different dance moves and see how your robot Unicorn dances!

Little Unicorn

Little Unicorn or Baby Unicorns are known for unpredictable and powerful magical skills – often some they can't control because they are still mastering their magic powers! These little unicorn characters can become the centerpiece of your story and you can explore adding different visual effects to your scene using the left hand bar icon for Effects.

Unicorn Horn

Unicorn Horn is known to be the center of magic power and serves as a Unicorn's wand – they can cast spells from their Unicorn Horn and wield their power through it. Experiment with introducing your character by using camera angles to start on the Unicorn Horn and then slowly reveal the whole character as your animated Unicorn story unfolds.

Inspired by Lisa Frank?

We couldn't write a blog post about Unicorns without thanking Lisa Frank! Lisa Frank art was a core part of our childhood and absolutely an inspiration for daydreaming during class. From Lisa Frank stickers to notebooks and binders – the iconic art made us wish for the ability to create our own Unicorns.

Lisa Frank stickers

Growing up you might have covered your school folders and notebooks with cute Lisa Frank stickers. Now, we live our lives on our phones and use mainly emojis and GIFs to communicate. While we don't have Lisa Frank stickers – you can make your own Unicorn emojis and Unicorn GIFs to share with friends!

Lisa Frank art and Lisa Frank Animals

Lisa Frank Art was iconic and it was always clear as soon as you saw Lisa Frank animals that was where they came from! While we don't have Lisa Frank animals available to animate – you can animate a Unicorn in the Krikey AI tool or bring in and animate your own custom characters that you have drawn or created on your own.

Lisa Frank wallpaper and Lisa Frank Unicorn

Lisa Frank Wallpaper and the memorable Lisa Frank Unicorn are memories we treasure. This is where our love for Unicorns and magic began. While AI and easy animation tools didn't exist when we were kids, now there are new tools that lower the barrier to entry for animated, talking characters. It's not possible to animate Lisa Frank characters – but you can explore animating Astra the Unicorn and begin your journey back into the world of Animated Unicorn stories!
