  • The married couple in this cartoon are based on Thurber's first marriage. His wife was domineering, aggressive, and always the more practical one. Thurber was a hen-pecked husband and when he wrote this story (1939) he was on the verge of blindness. Being mostly blind Thurber saw a lot of things that weren't there. "For the hawk eyed person life has none of the soft edges which for me blur into fantasy…” -James Thurber

  • A Unicorn in the Garden eating Roses? Ahh they must be referring to Prince Blueblood

  • I'm still enjoying this cartoon on my channel page! Viewers of this might enjoy my hand drawn animated fantasies I made, BALDER'S EGG, THE MAGIC ARROWS, THE WINGED SANDALS, THE COLOSSEUM, THE BLACK WIDOW, etc. on my channel page on you tube! They have dialog and narration with thousands of line drawings!

  • You are a boobie.

  • Oh man, I read this story years and years ago. This and The Girl And The Wolf are two of my favorite Thurber pieces. :D

  • @sythersight Curiously enough this is limited animation. But they apply the principles of limited animation to great effect, unlike cartoons from the 70's-80's.

  • @Ichijoe2112 MY GOODNESS, THEY MUST'VE BEEN PSYCHIC!!!! (Read in Morgan Freeman's shocked voice)

  • Confound those ponies, they make me know culture

  • Am I the only one who's siding with the wife here? He woke her up in bed just to tell her he saw an F-ing unicorn. Won't you feel shit if there is an idiot who woke you up in bed just to tell you he saw a fucking unicorn?

  • This is crazy well animated. o.o

  • "You are a boobie, and I am going to have you put in the boobie hatch." XD

  • This animation is pretty awesome. Or at least I like.

    Kinda reminds of Charlie Brown.
