### *The Bear and Friends Movie*

Unicorn and her boyfriend Dog and friend Bear are living their best lives without a care in the world. One morning, Bear's Dad arrives to visit, revealing to Bear that a war is coming and that someone is coming after them.

Suddenly, a bounty hunter named Steve breaks into the house and battles the three, knocking out Bear and badly injuring Unicorn. As Bear awakens, Bear's Dad reveals that he was sent by Steinbeck, who was once his enemy when he was friends with Dog's Dad and Unicorn's Mom. Unicorn agrees to travel to Steinbeck's lair with the help of her friends - Bear, Bear's Dad, Dog, Sam, Fred the Flamingo, Josh, and Unicorn’s Dad - to figure out what he's planning. They arrive at Steinbeck's lair, where he captures them and reveals that he plots to wipe out animals from the planet following the death of his parents. Afraid, Unicorn and her friends escape and return to the house.

That night, Steinbeck breaks into the house. He battles Bear, but overpowers him, and Bear and his friends escape the house and go into hiding. They return to the Dandelion Field, where they agree to take refuge for the next few days. Steve arrives and manipulates Unicorn, knocking her out and causing her powers to malfunction. Josh arrives and levitates Steve into the air, throwing him far away. Josh awakens Unicorn and promises to train her to help her recover her powers. The next day, Josh finishes training Unicorn. The next day, Steinbeck arrives and finds them. Unicorn and her friends run to the park where they go into hiding, with Steinbeck heavily in pursuit. Bear stays behind to fight off Steinbeck while Unicorn teleports everyone else away, leading to Bear's capture. Later, Bear breaks out of his restraints as Unicorn arrives and rescues Bear's Dad and Dog. Unicorn and Josh set off to battle Steve while Bear stays behind to fight off Steinbeck alone.

Unicorn and Josh are initially overpowered, but eventually Unicorn uses her powers to levitate Steve and throw him over a cliff, killing him.
