* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Along with ''Anime/UnicoInTheIslandOfMagic'', this film has gained a very dedicated cult following [[https://icv2.com/articles/comics/view/11539/unico-return-u-s in the United States]], especially since the Creator/DisneyChannel used to frequently air the Creator/{{Sanrio}} film series throughout the 1980s. Not only was it their [[GatewaySeries first exposure to children's anime]], but it caused the [[Manga/{{Unico}} original manga series]] to gain an official English translation [[LateExportForYou in 2012.]] In recent years, the movie would receive an occasional theatrical showing at a few independent movies theaters and [[https://web.archive.org/web/20230627185850/https://www.williamscenter.co/cinema-underground underground film festivals]] across the United States. Americans love Unico so much that the Website/{{Kickstarter}} campaign for the ''Manga/UnicoAwakening'' manga was fully funded before it turned 24 hours old. News of the campaign's success actually caught the attention of Scholastic, who announced that the new Unico manga series [[https://www.forbes.com/sites/robsalkowitz/2023/09/20/scholastic-debuts-kid-friendly-manga-line-with-a-reimagined-classic/ will be published as part of its Graphix imprint line.]]

* LGBTFanbase: The movie has gained a dedicated LGBT fanbase due to viewers quickly noticing the amount of gay subtext between Unico and Beezle. In the West, both [[ToyShip characters are a popular pairing in fanart]] for the film and the original manga.

* HoYay: Despite their relationship having a rocky start. Unico and [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Beezle/Akuma-kun's]] relationship with each other in both the original manga and 1981 film shows that their interactions can almost border on innocently homoerotic at times.
** Unico crying as he's silently watching Beezle sitting alone after initially refusing to let Beezle to borrow his horn on becoming his "True Friend". Beezle, on the other hand, gets very frustrated over his feelings toward Unico by telling himself [[{{Tsundere}} "I hate him, but can't stop thinking about him!"]] due to deeply believing his role as "The Demon of Solitude".
** Beezle's idea of "playing" is by roughhousing with Unico, such as treating Unico like a grown horse despite Unico not enjoying this due to his weight and getting whipped by Beezle's tail. Beezle ends up hurting himself after falling off Unico's back. When Unico notices Beezle crying, he runs up to quickly calm him down by licking him, much to Beezle's dismay, where responds by punching him.
** After Beezle returns Unico's horn so Unico will regain his powers and not die in the ocean, Unico transforms into "The Mighty Unicorn" to save Beezle from drowning. He's shocked and confused when he notices Unico's different appearance. After he turns back to normal, Unico explains to him that he has the ability to transform into "The Mighty Unicorn" [[ThePowerOfLove if someone truly loves him.]] He then tells Beezle "I guess you love me Beezle.", while giving him a warm smile before rewarding Beezle with his own horn due to Beezle's selfless behavior.
