timrossiter-93910 Review of My Little Pony: The Movie

My Little Pony: The Movie (2017)

Spectacular visuals, packed with action

[7/10 · 6 October 2017]

I was very impressed by the jaw-dropping visuals and animation. The movie follows the spirit of many other animation movies that have hit the big screen. If you have been following the EQ girls movies then you might be a little surprised by the direction of the movie, since the story line is completely different from what you might have expected. I would describe the script as an ongoing "cat and mouse" chase that never really deviates until the very end. I didn't really feel as though there were enough of those laugh out loud moments that would appeal the core viewer base. With this said, there is an epic Dwerpy moment at beginning of the movie, which has to be noted! Overall, in my opinion, this movie is perfect for the target audience and I had no regrets watching the movie but it's not the sort of movie I'd personally watch a second time. I'm glad that the movie was orientated in a way that newcomers to the franchise wouldn't need any background knowledge of the series. Most importantly, your kids are going to enjoy the movie, there are plenty of likable characters, dazzling magical moments, action packs scenes and at LAST, we have a true My Little Pony movie.
