* MistakenForInsane: A man witnesses a unicorn in his garden, and tells his wife about it. By the time the wife looks, the unicorn is already gone, resulting in her attempting to get her husband committed to an asylum. The attempt fails... because the way she explains things to the doctors make it sound like she's the insane one, which leads to her being the one sent away. When the doctors question the man, the man wisely claims he did not tell his wife anything about a unicorn.

* IronicEcho: The wife first tells the husband "The unicorn is a mythical beast", then later [[spoiler: the psychiatrist asks if the husband told the wife there was a unicorn, which would mean the wife was not crazy, to which the husband replies "Of course not. The unicorn is a mythical beast."]]

'''"The Unicorn In The Garden"''' is a [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation 1953]] animated short directed by William T. Hurtz, produced by [[Creator/ColumbiaCartoons [=UPA=]]] and released through Creator/ColumbiaPictures. The short is based directly on Creator/JamesThurber's short story of the same name, originally published in ''Magazine/TheNewYorker'' magazine on October 21, 1939, and later collected in ''Fables For Our Time and Famous Poems Illustrated'' (1940). The short closely imitates the style of the author's own illustrations and cartoons. Like many of Thurber's fictions, "The Unicorn in the Garden" deals with the fundamental conflict between men and women, and the romantic ''vs''. practical mindset represented by each, respectively.
