\n\tAn orange unicorn has some tricks up his sleeve as the host of a children\u2019s television show in the teaser trailer<\/a> for Buddy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tRoadside Attractions<\/a> releases director Casper Kelly\u2019s horror-comedy movie in theaters Aug. 28 after its premiere earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival<\/a>. Cristin Milioti<\/a>, Keegan-Michael Key<\/a>, Topher Grace<\/a>, Delaney Quinn, Patton Oswalt<\/a> and Michael Shannon<\/a> round out the cast.<\/p>\n

\n\tBuddy<\/a> centers on the bright orange unicorn known for hosting a classic children\u2019s program. When one child doesn\u2019t feel like joining the fun, Buddy\u2019s mood changes, and the seemingly perfect world proves to not be what it seemed.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe trailer splices moments of terror alongside scenes of the titular unicorn dancing with children on the set of his show, It\u2019s Buddy! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKelly, known for creating Adult Swim\u2019s viral 2014 horror short Too Many Cooks<\/a>, helmed Buddy from a script he co-wrote with Jamie King. Tyler Davidson, Drew Sykes, Raphael Margules, J.D. Lifshitz and Tracy Rosenblum serve as producers.<\/p>\n

\n\tExecutive producing are Kelly, King, Kevin Flanigan, Dexter Braff, Roberto Linck, Nathan McAuley, Emilio Schenker, Gideon\u00a0Tadmor, Adam J. Wilde, Geoff Yaw and\u00a0Ryan J. Kelly.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn his review of Buddy<\/a> for The Hollywood Reporter, chief film critic David Rooney wrote that the movie \u201cstretches its sketch-comedy idea to feature length by upping the gore and the demented detours but doesn\u2019t go far enough to be as extreme or disturbing as it wants to be.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tRooney added that the film\u2019s \u201cbiggest plus is the inspired voice work of Keegan-Michael Key as the title character.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An orange unicorn has some tricks up his sleeve as the host of a children\u2019s television show in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":792069,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[14874,49,48,14196,75,179635,118349,337,79207,87096,79083,26399,5337],"class_list":["post-792068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-buddy","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-cristin-milioti","tag-entertainment","tag-keegan-michael-key","tag-michael-shannon","tag-movies","tag-patton-oswalt","tag-roadside-attractions","tag-sundance-film-festival","tag-topher-grace","tag-trailer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=792068"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/792068\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/792069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=792068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=792068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=792068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
