This is a fan-made project, that is not associated with Hasbro, Inc. in any way. The creator of this project will never make any money in any way from it. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is the property of Hasbro, Inc.. This is a fanmade Local Multiplayer Ponified Kid-Friendly Turn Based RPG based on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic TV series. A unicorn pony, Twilight Sparkle receives a very important mission from Princess Celestia, the ruler of the magical land of Equestria. She and her assistant, a baby dragon named Spike are sent to Ponyville, where her task will be to meet other ponies and study about the Magic of Friendship. With their new friends, they'll go on adventures and solve various problems. ♥ PONIES! Discover the Magic of Friendship! ♥ Story and events heavily based on the TV series What happened in the show, will happen in the game along with RPG elements and additional plot. Didn't watch the show? Don't worry, you'll absolutely not get lost because of that! However, as the show can spoil the game, the game can spoil the show. ♥ Local Multiplayer (up to 2 players) Discovering the Magic of Friendship with a real friend or siblings will be better, than doing that alone! Explore Equestria, solve puzzles and fight together! ♥ Energetic Battle System As everything will be based on hit-boxes, each skill will have different usage. A single projectile will be better against singular large enemies, while Area of Effect will perform better against multiple smaller enemies. Besides that, the projectiles may have different behavior dependable on skill. Some skills may also have interaction involved, like timed action, chain of buttons or simple button mashing when casting powerful abilities such as Twilight's Magic Nova. ♥ Each pony has a set of unique skills As each pony is different as the night is from the day, their abilities and specialties are different as well! ♥ Skill Tree Each pony will have a different path. Gain experience to improve or learn new abilities. ♥ Skill Assign System Each pony can assign 8 abilities, either active or passive. A good combination of active and passive skills may give decent (even unexpected) results. ♥ Resource gathering and crafting Collect materials to craft equipment; Combine equip-able gems to get better-quality ones; Collect herbs and plants to allow Zecora brew potions. ♥ Many cutscenes and events ...Even too many. Take a break and relax for awhile. ♥ Songs! Your favorite songs from the show will appear here as well! ♥ Minigames and Puzzles Various minigames and solving puzzles to keep the boredom away! ♥ More PONIES! ... When you'll think, that you saw everypony already. Twilight Sparkle A book-loving unicorn pony with extraordinary magical abilities. Represents the element of Magic. > high magical power and resistance > high MP Rainbow Dash An action-loving colorful pegasus pony. Represents the element of Loyalty. > high speed > weather control (elemental abilities) Pinkie Pie An extremely energetic and sociable earth pony. Represents the element of Laughter. > high speed > explosive abilities! > party-buffing singing abilities Applejack A brave, reliable, strong and mature earth pony. Represents the element of Honesty. > high physical power and defense > high HP > party-buffing abilities > lack of magical abilities > low magic resistance Rarity A unicorn pony with good manners and love for beauty.

Represents the element of Kindness. > low HP > doesn't attack on her own - animal-calling abilities > healing abilities > party-buffing abilities Each pony will have a Primary Set of Skills and Passives, some of them will also have a Secondary Set. List of Skill Categories: Legend: [ICON] Name of Category | Set | What resources the category focuses on Passives | Special | --- Each pony will be able to bring 8 skills in total to battle, so either an active or a passive skill can be equipped in these slots. Equipping Passives will simply raise pony's parameters or add special features like additional projectiles when attacking etc. at cost of a skill slot. A well thought combination of these skills can give decent results. Everypony will have Passives. Now let's talk about unique skill sets for each pony. Magic | Primary | MP/EP Twilight will have various spells, starting from simple telekinesis that will deal light damage by throwing various objects -> through magic projectiles that will deal magical damage -> to powerful Area of Effect Spells, that at high MP and EP cost, will bring some destruction to the battle field. Skills | Primary | EP Rainbow Dash will be able to use her wings to perform various tricks to deal more physical damage. Weather | Secondary | MP/EP Rainbow Dash will also be able to control weather to deal elemental damage as well as Area of Effect. Partying | Primary | MP/EP Pinkie Pie will always find an occasion to throw a party and battling with enemies is not an excuse for her! She and her Party Cannon will show enemies how to party by dealing physical or magical damage. Blow up everything and party on! Songs | Secondary | MP/EP Besides partying, Pinkie Pie also loves to sing! As she sings songs during their adventure, she will learn to sing them in battle as well to raise parameters of ponies and more! Skills | Primary | EP Applejack is a strong farmer and she will show who has the power by dealing high physical damage or using her lasso to stun enemies. YEEHAWs | Secondary | MP/EP Applejack is an active pony and she will be showing her energy by motivating her friends and raising their strengths. Magic | Primary | MP/EP Rarity loves shiny gems. Besides using them for her creations, she also uses them as a weapon by dealing physical or elemental damage. Get ready for rains of shiny projectiles. FABULOUS! She can also use the bigger gems to defend her friends. Animals | Primary | MP/EP Let's be honest, Fluttershy wouldn't even harm a fly and even if a situation requires that, she will have troubles with defending herself. However, her beloved animals will cover her! She will be able to call various animals to deal physical or magical damage. Calling a bear will cause some troubles to enemies! Support | Secondary | MP Nopony is as kind and caring as Fluttershy. She will do her best to help her friends in need by recovering their strength and protecting them. Not available.

Hello, Just a quick, thought-provoking question: Out of all 7 seasons, what are the must-watch episodes for each of the mane 6 (The most entertaining, or best, episode for each respective pony) and why? Thanks, Jayson
-
I know the movie has been out for like a week or so already.... I still have not been able to watch it *cri*. For anyone who has watched it, how is the movie? Is it similar to the episodes or completely different? Also, I am not sure how to get the movie for free. Is it possible? ~ ShiningPastry

So, dd this today before I went to psychology class. it's an improvisation around one the newest regions from the MLP Movie: Seaquestria. Hope you guys like it! Sheet music may come in the future.
-
Out of all 7 seasons and the movie, what are the best musical numbers ever performed? My personal favorites: -Winter Wrap Up -- Winter Wrap Up -Love is in Bloom -- A Canterlot Wedding -Pretty much every song from "Magical Mystery Cure" (Morning in Ponyville, What my Cutie Mark is telling me, etc.) -You'll Play Your Part -- Twilight's Kingdom -Pinkie's Lament -- Pinkie Pride

Greetings everypony, Rarity here. And Spike and your service! Now if anypony has any questions for me and my darling Spikey, feel free to do so anytime. Hehe, that's right!

So, the alphabet game is basically, (if it were animals) I'd start with A for Alligator, then the next person is B. So they'd do Bear, and so on. For MLP characters, you can do any character that can at least talk. When it gets to Z, you can either restart or set new rules. I'll start it off with A - Applejack
-
So...did this little improv about a week ago. It was a fun one to do. You can certainly get a Pink vibe from it since it's got that hard pop texture. Hope you enjoy! PS. You can hear me count off in the beginning

So, it's a funny thing--I've been a huge Pony fan for years now, and the franchise is extremely important to me, and yet, I find myself dreading most new episodes, as well as the movie. I just...tend to expect the worst these days, and I'm not entirely sure why. The show has proven that it still has the right stuff, but I guess it has been rockier the past couple of seasons, with more ups and downs. A casual observer would think I'm nuts, and ask why the hell I stick around if I dread new episodes. I probably am nuts. It doesn't make much sense, does it? Why continue to be so involved in this if I don't seem to get much enjoyment from it? Well, I still do get an enormous amount of enjoyment from the good episodes. I stick around for the Perfect Pears. That made me cry. I still love these characters and their world so much that I want to stick around, even if I don't enjoy all of it. I also love the community and fan-content aspect. It's a weird thing, and it's probably impossible to explain to someone who doesn't get it. Maybe it only makes sense to an autistic nutcase like me. I almost decided not to see the movie because I was so horrified by the animation change. I'm not going to re-explain my thoughts on that. If you're interested in hearing the details, check out my Stop & Talk blog entry entitled, "Why I Might Not See the Movie". Obviously, I ultimately decided to see it for one simple reason: I had worked very hard to make a highly accurate Equestria Girls Rainbow Dash cosplay to wear to the movie, and I felt I owed it to myself to see that through and wear it. I did, and I enjoyed that part. Onto the actual movie. Alright, so....as usual, my opinion is going to be an extremely unpopular one. When I expressed my thoughts about the animation change, it became horrifying clear to me that I would be all alone in my opinions about the movie. Why should this bother me? Well, I don't know. It shouldn't. I have problems. Honestly, though, I can't help but feel very alone and a bit....well....betrayed by my fellow fans. This entirely on me, of course. It's wrong of me to implicate anyone else like that. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and it would be wrong of me to take out my frustration on anyone else for not sharing mine. I still can't help feeling the way I feel, and I'm sorry. I'm also sorry for my harsh opinion, and I'm sorry if it offends or upsets anyone. So, I thought the movie was absolutely horrible. Abysmal. I cannot believe what I just watched. It was unspeakably, shockingly bad. And I feel even more shocked that I seem to be the only one to feel this way. I knew it was going to be bad, but I never knew it was going to be that bad. I cannot find one good thing to say about the movie, and I consider myself to be a very fair reviewer. I actually consider myself one of the more tame and charitable reviewers of the show. There wasn't a single redeeming factor about the movie. Terrible plot, terrible acting, terrible music, and (yes, I still think so) terrible animation. I felt like the movie was a complete insult, a betrayal to everything Pony. It's like they jettisoned everything that made the show great. They just took all of the magic of the show and blew it out the airlock. I know I have a very biased and unpopular view regarding the animation change (they just don't look like our ponies at all), but disregarding that, everything about the movie was still garbage. The story was completely goofy--just one ridiculous, over-the-top, stupid, themed adventure after another, with no real depth or development. The characters felt like overly silly caricatures of themselves, lacking any and all of the dynamic and realistic depth from the show. It was a non-stop string of cringeworthy jokes and stupid gags with one predictable, idiotic song after another. I absolutely abhorred the decision to make the movie essentially a standalone feature, excluding and disregarding most of the lore and continuity from the show. I do, however, understand why they did this. I assume they wanted to make something that someone who's not a fan or follower of the show could watch, and still enjoy. This makes sense from a marketing standpoint, and I guess from a critic standpoint as well. I still hated it. They've made a rich and detailed lore, and it felt like they just threw it away. I predicted that Starlight wouldn't even make an appearance, and I was right. Terrible decision. (Perhaps I missed her in a cameo. I saw Trixie.) I know it needed to be mane 6 focused, but there should have been other characters in there, too. Starlight should have had a scene or two, and the CMC should have a line or two. A least a brief, throwaway line. SOMETHING. I was shocked and appalled that they didn't even show Ponyville or Twilight's castle ONCE. No Boutique, no Sweet Apple Acres, no Sugarcube Corner, nothing. I realize they went for world building, but they should have at least had an exposition scene in Ponyville for Celestia's sake. No mention of Rarity's fashion empire, no mention of Ranbow being a Wonderbolt. (Twilight, why were you looking at Rainbow when you said you had ordered clear skies? That's not her job anymore, remember? She's a Wonderbolt, now!) I know the movie was supposed to be fantasy and adventure focused, but I really think there should have been some effort to at least briefly incorporate the professional lives they've all built. I knew that movie was going to basically jettison the developments and continuity of the show, and...well, I'm not at all happy about it. But worse than all that stuff, the movie just didn't even feel like FIM. It didn't even feel like the same franchise. It was so dopey, and nothing fit in the FIM world. It was just: "let's see how many old Disney movies we can cram in." Seriously, we had Aladdin, Peter Pan, and The Little Mermaid, and, I guess, f*ckin Aristocats or something? Seriously, what the hell was that bipedal, humanoid, smooth talking, like, f*ckin 1920's New York jazz hole cat? What the HELL was that?! He didn't belong in the FIM universe at all. I can't believe they invented all of these new, underdeveloped characters to help stop the villains when they already have an array of fantastic characters with enormous potential to draw from. Instead of alley cat, pirate birds, and sea ponies, why couldn't they have had, oh, I don't know, let's say, Ember lead the dragons to Canterlot, Thorax lead the changelings to Canterlot, Gilda lead the Griffons to Canterlot, maybe even Prince Rutherford lead the yaks to Canterlot, and then they all charge the Storm King? (The dopey, stupid, and completely idiotic Storm King...) Why not give some big screen time to some of the great characters they've developed throughout the show?! Why not further develop these great characters instead of cramming in these weird, Disney-esque idiots? Now, I love Disney, but that doesn't mean you can cram it into FIM and expect it to work. I could go on and on, but there's no point. I'm sure I've lost all readers by now, anyway. I really love Pony, but I cannot express enough how much I hated this movie. I waited so long, and I can't believe that this is what we got. Even my mom was squirming in the theater seat, thinking, "Oh my god, how long is the piece of crap?!" and she's a much more casual and less critical fan than I am. This wasn't Pony. This was an abomination. Absolute trash. I apologize again for my unpopular opinion, and my harshness. I understand how frustrating it can feel when someone hates and dumps on something you love. I don't wish to upset anyone. I'm sure most of you will think I'm completely warped and gone right out of my head. I probably shouldn't have written this. I probably should have observed the old rule of "if you don't have anything nice say, don't say anything at all." My only defense is that, for some reason, it makes me feel mildly better to get my opinion out there, probably because I feel betrayed by the writers and filmmakers, and it's therapeutic to vent. I am entitled to express my opinion, after all. I'm sorry if it's bothers anyone. I guess that about wraps it up. Before I go, I need to do one last thing, and I apologize profusely in advance for this. Please don't take this too seriously, and if you don't agree, please just ignore me and my extremist fringe opinion. I just need to do this. I have to get it out of my system once and for all. *Catches breath*. *Ahem*. Sorry. Uh...sorry. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. This was my first and last word on the movie. I won't subject anyone to any more of my opinions. I'll just go on from here as if the movie doesn't exist. Alrighty, folks; I'll see you later on. Stay pony, my friends. Until next time.

So I've been in this fandom for almost two years and I don't have any merchandise,anything I could start with?

Hi, everypony, No offense at all, I loved the movie a lot and it was really more than I expected, but there were still couple of things I wanted to see, although I knew some of them would not happen, so I want your idea by voting, which one of the cases disappointed you the most? Which One Did You Dislike The Most About The Movie? -Starlight and Trixie had no dialogues at all. -We only saw the CMC at one scene, in a cage. -Fluttershy only had few lines. -There was no Discord at all. (not counting the balloon that Pinkie Pie made xD) Vote for it, I wanna see your opinion. Not in the section? Still just pick the one that you wished to happen the most then. Peace!

How did you feel when Derpy sacrificed herself to save Twilight from turning into a statue? All things that happened was unexpected for me. First Princess Cadance, then Princess Celestia Princess and Luna and finally Twilig-nope Derpy with her horn hat. She sure fooled Grubber though. I felt both honored and sad when Derpy was the one that turned into a statue. At the same time, I was also in quite a shock and had chills all over my body when that quick chaos happened. I knew if Discord was here (not the balloon version that Pinkie Pie made), he would snap all the villains but what Derpy did, was amazing. Finally, MLP movie gave a very special role to Derpy, although she is not from mane 6. I, myself do not love Derpy the most but I was too emotional on that part. Also, I was sad when we only see cutie mark crusaders only in one scene with no dialogue. Fluttershy's dialogues were so few too and she was my favorite out of mane six. Afterall, I loved the movie, it was more than I expected and it was sure surprising and amazing. So, how did you feel when Derpy sacrificed herself?

Just wondering, When the movie comes out in 2017...will you go? Alone? Or with friends? Would you feel awkward if the theater was filled with girls? Would you make it to the premiere or go the next week or so? For me, I would try to go with my local brony group and I wouldn't care if the theater was filled with 7 yr old girls or kids, or their moms staring at me. Though I'm sure a few other bronies would go. I would try to make it to the premiere as well and Dash would come with me. I would go later in the day probably only because I like going to the theaters, its a good night thing to do.

MLP FiM's original show bible leaked yesterday and I'm not gonna lie, there's some really cool stuff in there. Not sure if I can link to it without violating forum rules because after all it appears to be copyrighted material. But I think it's great stuff if you are interested in Lauren Faust's creative process while developing the show, as well as possibly what could have been if Hasbro hadn't insisted on including less of the adventure stories that Faust wanted. So just in case I can't post a link, here are some highlights: - Lauren Faust predicted that at least some boys would watch the show - Many characters had different names, designs, and cutie marks. For example, "Twilight Twinkle" was colored differently and had a cutie mark resembling the flag of Pakistan. - Twilight and Cheerilee were originally supposed to be very close. - Celestia was supposed to be a queen (this was later changed because Hasbro believed that "queens" in fiction are usually evil). - Unicorns were apparently supposed to hail from the mountains. - There's a lot of concept art of things that never ended up being used, like different outfits on some characters. For example, some outfits include bridles, which have never really appeared in the final show. - The Wonderbolts were originally called the Blue Thunders. - There are some episode synopses, meant to give examples of adventure and relationship stories, respectively. Some of these ideas for episodes are recognizable from Season 1, while some ended up being discarded. - Deer and seaponies were supposed to be canon from the very beginning. It's possible the unused deer episode was the inspiration for one of the comic arcs.

(I am reposting the review I typed down on Facebook. Enjoy) [TL;DR at the very bottom of this post. You're welcome.] First off, some of you may be asking "Why would a grown man like you watch a colourful kid's movie?" If my cover photo doesn't already give it away, I'm simply a Brony and I simply wanted to watch it for my absolute love for the TV show this film came from. Next, let's get to the nitty-gritty: Visuals - Very much worth the watch. This is by far the best modern 2D Animated Feature that has ever hit the big screen in years (I'm looking at you Disney and Dreamworks). Every scene was very pleasant to look at because of how marvellously-detailed the animation was thanks to the ToonBoom Animation software the animators used to make this film such a wondrous visual treat. Kudos to the animators, their hard-work was very rewarding. Sound - Even though the film has a Dolby Atmos mix, I sadly was not able to experience that in the theatre I went to simply because they do not have that setup. Other than that, the sound was very well designed, especially the catchy and adventurous soundtrack it has (thanks to Daniel Ingram for his outstanding musical abilities). Characters - We have the usual Mane 6 (plus Spike the Dragon and others of course) from the Friendship is Magic TV series as part of the main cast. Though the film definitely was more attractive with the extra supporting guest cast enhancing the movie even more so. And the roles those characters had, definitely fulfilled them really well (except for some, though I will not mention them due to the purpose of this review being spoiler-free. #sorrynotsorry). Plot - Now this is where it gets a little iffy. With the context of knowing that this is an official My Little Pony movie to ever hit theatres after the animated film of the same name back in the 1980's (and with the intended audience of not only the Brony fanbase but primarily the families with their kids), the plot was understandably mediocre and somewhat easy to predict. Don't get me wrong, however. The film is still enjoyable for all ages (no matter what the "neigh"-sayers will say), thanks to the appropriately-timed and clever funny moments that made us in the audience get a good laugh out of it. Moral/Lesson - I will not spoil exactly what it is, but I can tell you at a personal level, it was very relatable and I'm sure it will be relatable to everyone else, even though the mediocre plot as mentioned earlier, predictably laid it out for simplicity's sake. Final Verdict - with all of these factors in mind, I can say without a doubt, that this wonderful, modern 2D Animated Feature Film gets an 8/10. I know I might have used this score a lot in the past, but I am serious when I say that this film definitely deserved this score. TL;DR: With the factors of the Visuals, Sound, Characters, Plot and the Moral/Lesson coming together, this spectacle of a modern 2D Animated Feature Film to come on the big screen after years of absence was certainly worth the watch, even for just the stunning 2D visuals and soundtrack alone. Thank you for reading, and I hope you guys enjoy(ed) the film too. #MLP #MLPTheMovie #MLPMovie

Do you think they'll add any creatures from Japanese mythology in the show?

I recently released a new Pony In Real Life video featuring Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash has fallen asleep and Fluttershy alone decides to take care of the house while I'm away, good for her! <3

Just got back from seeing the new movie with my best friend a little bit ago. We both really enjoyed it. There were only a few other people in the theater; it's likely a school night for kids so keeping them up late by taking them to the movies isn't something most parents are probably willing to do. I’m not familiar with earlier generations of the MLP franchise so I’m not sure if nostalgia would be a factor for old fans. If you are at all a fan of Friendship is Magic, then this movie is for you. There are a ton of little references to past episodes of the show to satisfy the dedicated fan: Fluttershy says many yays. Discord makes a tiny cameo early on (as well as during the end credits). Twilight’s Canterlot friends from Amending Fences briefly show up in one scene. We learn that Ursa Minor is the creature who originally robbed Tempest of her horn and left a scar on her face. And Fluttershy counsels one of the Storm King’s minions at the end (leaving them in tears), very reminiscent of some adorable moments in Season 1. Who knows, though? Perhaps a few people who aren’t familiar with MLP at all will go to see this movie. It doesn’t require you to be caught up with the show. But it rewards you if you are. I wish we could’ve seen more banter between some characters. The chemistry between Rarity and Capper seemed to be hinted at from some of the concept art I’ve seen, but they didn’t really interact much. I assumed most of the new characters would be clear counterparts of Spike and the Mane 6, but that wasn’t really the case apart from Twilight+Tempest and Rainbow Dash+Celaeno. Oh well. *shrug* I know, some people are undoubtedly going to call this fan service, but the Derpy scenes (first with the Wonderbolts, then getting in the way of Tempest’s magic) are adorable and I love the little cameo by Starlight and Trixie early on. I like the animation style a lot. Some scenes do look awkward with CGI thrown in for certain objects like the airships (or as Grubber says, boats in the air... air boats...). But the scenery is gorgeous and while character designs took getting used to, I was pretty much used to it by the end. Perhaps this style, just scaled down a bit in visual quality in order to cut production costs, would fit future seasons of FiM. I’m down for that. Let’s talk about the new characters… - The Storm King is an average villain and probably one of my least favorite pony villains. Not all that interesting, and he shows no development whatsoever. He doesn’t even get to escape so that one day he can return and once again raise hell in Equestria, nor is he reformed. Instead, his death is implied when his crystallized self falls and shatters. Kind of a boring outcome. Still, Liev Schreiber’s voice acting is good. He did a solid job. - Grubber is kind of a throwaway side character. I’m sorry if you’re a fan, but when he’s not randomly munching on sweets I think he’s often annoying and really doesn't need to be talking because I hardly found his little remarks funny. Maybe kids will like him, though. For some reason his design (which I do like) kinda looks like a gray Stitch with hair. - Captain Celaeno is a great counterpart for Rainbow Dash. They end up having great chemistry. Celaeno is a loyal captain to her crew who loves adventure. Her crew looks up to her and I like her design. - Queen Novo is pretty neat. She’s a stern, just ruler of her underwater nation who greatly values her family of hippogriffs/seaponies. Not too much to say about her, she doesn’t get all that much screen time. - Princess Skystar is very much a Dory sort of character. I wonder if that similarity was intentional. :ooh:Very excitable and almost like Pinkie Pie at some moments. Very cute seapony who clearly desires the magic of friendship but sadly has been locked away in the underwater depths without many true friends other than seashells. Fits the story well. - Capper is one of my favorite new characters. He’s a sly con artist who actually has a big heart, which becomes apparent when he realizes what will happen if he doesn’t help the ponies he betrayed. Taye Diggs has the perfect voice for Capper. Oh, and Capper has an awesome design... - Songbird Serenade doesn’t show up much but she looks adorable and fits in pretty well. Her song Rainbow is cute. I’ll elaborate more on it later. Of the three pony pop stars we have seen (Songbird, Coluratura/Rara, and Sapphire Shores) she’s the least well developed but I don’t really think she’s a weak character. - And finally, Tempest Shadow, the new character who most deserves to return in the regular series. Open Up Your Eyes is my favorite song in the whole movie. Tempest’s angsty backstory doesn’t come off as trite; it works for her character's role. And I guess I tend to enjoy fictional characters like that who have some depth. I only wish the Storm King was also like that. Now on to the songs… - We Got This is a nice opening song. It reminds me a lot of Morning In Ponyville. The song and the visuals do a satisfactory job of setting the stage. - I’m the Friend You Need is one of only two songs sung entirely by a single character. Taye Diggs/Capper has such a cool singing voice. Diggs is among my favorite musical actors, with lots of Broadway experience. -Time to Be Awesome is very fun. I listened to a clip (was it recorded at Bronycon? or Comic-con? I can’t remember) a few months ago and figured it would be extremely catchy. In that regard, it sure did deliver! Also, grumpy Twilight at the beginning is great. -One Small Thing is cute. What can I say? It helps give Princess Skystar some depth. Her heart truly hungers for friendship. Also, some of the most adorable visuals in the whole movie with the seaponies. Especially the little white seapony. He’s adorable. - Open Up Your Eyes, Tempest’s song addressed to Twilight, is fairly sad but powerful. I’m not sure any other song in the movie gives me such Disney vibes. And Emily Blunt sure can SING! I love the animation during the flashbacks. - And then comes Rainbow. Very catchy pop song by Sia. It’s not as gorgeous as Titanium but it’s fun enough to provide a satisfactory dance party ending scene with none other than—surprise, surprise—DJ Pon-3 playing the music. Kind of a cliché ending, but it’s fun and leads in to cute end credits. Overall… I’d give this movie a 7.5/10. Now that’s when judged in comparison to similar movies I’ve seen, not in comparison to Equestria Girls and episodes of FiM. By pony standards, I would go as far as bumping that rating up to an 8.5/10. It’s memorable enough that I will probably see it in theaters again. It isn't really structured like an episode, so it avoids feeling like an extended episode. The plot is cute, the animation is mostly appealing to the eye, the new characters are mostly fun, and overall it’s a real treat. Well done, Hasbro. Oh, and I almost forgot…
