Buddy Buddy^•^

Buddy is a dark satire-horror film that parodies children's TV shows like Barney & Friends. Main characters Buddy (voiced by Keegan-Michael Key) is the titular "buddy," an orange unicorn, and the main antagonist. At first, he appears to be a kindly mascot for a children's show: he sings, dances, and teaches children about everyday life and how to "overcome their fears." In reality, he is a psychopath and serial child abductor: he lures children into his world through televisions, erases their memories, and forces them to live by his rules. He has superpowers: teleportation within Happytown, regeneration from children's hugs, immense strength, and a sharp horn. Buddy is obsessed with being adored and obeyed; any disobedience results in cruelty. The image is a direct reference to Barney. Freddy (Delaney Quinn) is the child protagonist and one of Buddy's captives. Brave and observant, she notices before anyone else that something is wrong with the "show." She becomes the leader of the group of survivors and organizes an escape plan.
