Concepts of friendship are nice to see in this movie, and I'm glad they are there. In the series, all the ponies are rounded, or at least full-bodied all this movie does is perpetuate the stick-insect mentality of fashion that girls are now being encouraged to pursue. Everyone is thin and anaemic, with the exception of Snails, and lo and behold, the unpopular "bad guy henchman" is fat. The writing was about as standard as the series, but I'm disappointed with the whole image of the movie. ![]() The movie should have reflected this, and used it to encourage girls (and guys) in a more positive direction than what it does. The ponies are regressed to teenage years when in Ponyville they are already mares, ie mature. So much opportunity for this to have been done better was wasted on a cliché. The fact that it's set in such a tedious and over-used setting as a school formal? Awful. Which is fine for a MLP episode, but not for a movie, hence back to my original belief it didn't warrant a theatre release. The basic story? As predictable as ever, even for a MLP episode. The way the characters are introduced and stylised, it's just glaring and grating. ![]() Two, it's so obvious the entire movie is a giant advertisement for Hasbro to sell anthro-based dolls based on popular characters. Would have been a nice two-parter to link the existing My Little Pony seasons 3 and 4 together. No additional effort was put into the animation beyond the TV series other than the opening credits animation, at all. it definitely did not warrant a theatre release.
