What is Buddy about?
Directed by Casper Kelly and written by Kelly and Jamie King, Buddy turns a cheerful children’s program into a horror story. Roadside Attractions describes the show within the film, “It’s Buddy!”, as a place where children sing, dance and help the bright orange unicorn spread happiness—until one child refuses to play along and the seemingly perfect world begins to crack.
