Yes, My Little Pony: The Movie, like its television predecessor, is all dressed up in bubbles and cupcakes and rainbows. But it’s so jam-packed with rousing girl power, it passes the Bechdel Test with (literally) flying colors.

The movie, the more I was fascinated by its change of animation and make it three-dimensional. Here in Mexico the voice actresses of the ponies give a nice comfortable touch to the dubbing. The story is somewhat original and comfortable, but in errors, I hardly saw any. I really liked it and enjoyed it.

My Little Pony: The Movie tries to get meta on the sickly sweetness of its subject matter.
Imagine eating a giant bag of Skittles, then throwing it all up in a fit of sugar-induced nausea and you’ll have some idea of what it feels like to sit through My Little Pony: The Movie.
My Little Pony: The Movie falls apart in the end because it resolves its conflict the way that conventional blockbusters do, and not in the way that My Little Pony does.
If you’re over the age of five, and you’re not taking someone UNDER the age of five to see My Little Pony: The Movie, you’re in the wrong theater.
Visually plain and ploddingly paced, My Little Pony: The Movie suggests four episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic smushed together with a Sia music video tacked on at the end.
I love this movie, just like i love the tv show, lovely animation, great story and songs, so much better than the others movies of the old MLP

This movie brings the charm from the series, but it’s the minority of it. I feel like hasbro could have done more to this movie. Like, my favorite character has the least amount of screen time. That really ****, that is the exact character that I wish had her own spin-off series. But, if your a fan of the my little pony series, watch this movie. But you won’t enjoy it in a huge way.

While I'm not a fan of FIM, I can honestly say that the series is really well-made. It utilizes the features that a good animated TV series needs, and I can see why it appealed to adult male and female demographics.
As with the film, I was curious to see how it would turn out, so I watched and I was left rather unimpressed because the plot is so simple that I didn't find it to be unique compared to other animated films I've seen. Although, this film was still good the way it was. While I think it wasn't all that, it wasn't a bad movie at all. Many adults may feel the same way as me but kids will definitely love it. It's a very safe and harmless animated film. Critics simply just blew it out of proportion.

Having known the huge reboot hit 2010 television series this film is spun-off from, I was expecting the film's crew to deliver something that had the same high-quality care in writing and animation that has helped the series break the doors down in gender/age groups (i.e. it appeals to everybody despite the subject matter). However, I am very disappointed to say that "The Movie" fails to capture any essence of what makes the series so popular with viewers of all kind. "The Movie" falls victim to just about every other film based off a young children's franchise in that the plot is too simple and the songs are padding. Knowing the plots that occur in the film's T.V. series, the film falls woefully short and proves that the writers can only write 22-minute-long plots and not one 100-minute plot. No amount of style and art can make up for its lack of substance. Honestly, fans, non-fans, and the business would have been better off seeing music videos of the tunes online (or on television) instead of them all investing their time into a full-length feature. That way the fans will dig it, the non-fans will have a choice to see them or not, and the business will still get away with selling more merchandise to the kids. It's a missed opportunity for a win-win-win! Now we all have to suffer with another flop of a film where the money and talent could have been used for my above suggestion or something else entirely. Ah, who knows?

I'm a fan of the series and this movie is mediocre. Fans will rate this highly out of loyalty and forget how badly and one-dimensionally this movie portrays the rich characters from the series, how nonsensical and unnecessary the whole journey is.
Even new characters, that aren't from the series and known to fans recieve bare-bones development as if the whole movie is just an excuse to sell new toy designs following the original popularity.
People saying that the animation is reminiscent of classic Disney movies need to expand their horizons and see what really good animation looks like. And the same can be said about the voice actors. The whole thing is bland, soulless and forgettable. Not to mention repeating the same mistakes from the series, insisting that the princesses hold some sort of amazing power that they never use to actually do anything.
Unfortunately, fans forget how fast undue praise can kill quality and how fast IP owners will treat the series and movie as advertisement rather than part of the product.
