Director: Jayson Thiessen
Release Date: October 6th, 2017 (US)
Runtime: 1hr 39mins
Pros: Does the original TV show justice - Feels more than an extended episode - Triumphant 2D animation - Beautiful looking visuals - Some 3D visuals blended well - Mane Six bring fun - Emily Blunt's developed villian - Top notch original voice acting - Solid additional voices - A few decent songs - Added orchestra for cinematic feel - Emily Blunt's highlight song
Cons: Formulaic as expected - Mostly made only for fans, Bronies/Pegasisters - Rushed climax - Additional characters didn't hold up memorable value - Liev Schreiber's generic character
Short Thoughts: It's hard for a cartoon show like MLP: FiM to have a movie that can impress those who aren't familiar with them. At least this tried. Of course, it'll delight it's fans but in short, it's a 'giddy-up' for fans but a 'woah' for others. But honestly, if I wasn't familiar with the show, I wouldn't be as favourable as I am with this colourful decency.
