‘Unicorn Warriors Eternal’ – Genndy Tartakovsky’s Steampunk Adventure Looks Epic
Genndy Tartakovsky’s Unicorn Warriors Eternal has been decades in the making – and it shows. Check out the first trailer!
If you’re not familiar with the name, Genndy Tartakovsky‘s past critically-acclaimed works include Samurai Jack, Dexter’s Laboratory, and Primal. He’s been working on this new series for a while and used what he’s learned over the years to bring it to the screen.
“This show was created in my early days at Cartoon Network Studios more than 20 years ago. All the projects we worked on — Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack, and Sym-Bionic Titan — were like a training ground getting us ready for this series. It took all of that time to finally be able to tackle a show like Unicorn Warriors Eternal.”

Unicorn Warriors Eternal Trailer
An evil force looms across the dreary, smog-filled streets of industrial revolution London when a group of heroes dubbed ‘Unicorn’ are reawakened—Melinda, a powerful sorceress; Seng, a cosmic monk; and Edred, a warrior elf. Instead of reincarnating into the bodies of strong warriors, their souls end up in a trio of teenagers. Their memories are distorted, and their magical abilities are weak. They must work together to unravel the mysteries hidden in their memories and take on a timeless enemy. They’re not alone – they have the help of Copernicus, their steam-powered robot.
The tone of the first trailer has a little Dexter’s Lab, a little Sym Bionic Titan, and a lot of new. The animation is fantastic. Take a look…
