In case you haven't seen this one, and it somehow gets better each time you watch it...

Stupid, yet hilarious.
I dunno. Kinda gay for my tastes. Somehow, the voices sound like something from Robot Chicken.
I found the metaphysical aspects both riveting and prophetic. If only Charlie had not been duped by the Bible-thumping right wing sirens and Pan-fluters, he would not have followed them down the doomed path that led to the mirage of idyllic Heaven. Once Charlie acquiesced to the siren's call, he was sucked into the illusion of Heaven, which proved to be his own personal Hell. In the tragic aftermath, Charlie believed he had only lost a kidney; sadly, he had actually sold his own soul and had made a pact with Satan.
Truly a sad allegory of man's desperate desire to latch on to even the dimmest ray of hope that might provide him with eternal salvation. But the cold, cruel truth of reality shatters the myth of eternal life that tantalizes every human being.
A monumental achievement in film, animation, theology and philosophical theoretics.
I just watched it again. I can't get it out of my head now.

Nice insight there, some might have just taken it as Charlie the Unicorn getting duped.
Could this be a metaphor for the Bush administration leading us into a war with Iraq? Bush/Chaney being the the young Unicorns, Charlie being the U.S. citizens, Candy Mountain being Iraq and Charlie's kidney being Saddam? Well, maybe not...
I'm off to Candy Mountain, CANDY MOUNTAIN!!!!
If you don't understand this and don't think it's addictive, check out how many times this has been viewd on YouTube (almost 20 million times).

A sequel should be out soon...
I can hardly wait for the sequel.
It seems the video on filmcow's site is much higher quality: http://www.filmcow.com/flash-charlietheunicorn.html (http://www.filmcow.com/flash-charlietheunicorn.html). Now you can all watch it again in magical high-res goodness. And joy.
And it's in the original 16:9 format.
