Despite the weak premise, I having a fun time to watched an episode of the show. Sophia is a strong-enough and likable protagonist and the overall show was all animated in Vancouver by Mainframe Animation and produced by Spin Masters, who brought us the likes of PAW Patrol and all things Bakugan. While not revolutionnary, it don't have the pretention to re-invent the wheel, but to seen Canadian animation still exists after years to ask if Corus have simply giving up on "newer" original contents for its kids TV specialties, it's a blessing that this is CBC that picked it... even by a certain Pierre Poilièvre who wanna disbanded it while the ROC (Rest of Canada) have no longer business to watching these.
The first thing I have thinking by looked of the promo ad is "Well, another Girl Power fantasy thing on an alternate land. Whatever.", but this one mostly works by giving to some Canadian animators and producers a job. Netflix picked the series for International outlets and this is a much richer and warmer effort than the overall cynicism and monotony of late-day entries like the whole Monster High reboot or worse, Miraculous: Lady Bug and Cat Noir.
If there is one major criticism towards it is the characters personalities are sadly all reflected in their outfit (Why they pull all on a so-90s edgiest urban style?) and/or dialogues. You have the tough, mean and popular rival girl. The awkward boyfriend. The clueless teachers et all. Yeah, I know this is made for little girls, and probably make it more deeper and mature are not what that may them to pay the bills.
And from an age when any heroines characters became more trite, generic and lacks any originality by be either, woke or feminist-bitching, Unicorn Academy is a good recall to any contents' makers and producers that sometimes, the most inspiring works out there have to do with relatives issues or mutual aid.
