After a dark force conquers Canterlot, the Mane 6 - Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity - embark on an unforgettable journey beyond Equestria where they meet new friends and exciting challenges on a quest to use the magic of friendship to save their homeland. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was a show that I was quite enthralled with at an earlier time of my life, almost to an unhealthy extent. I still defend my thoughts on the show to this day, I think it still holds up as a competently put together series with cute and endearing characters that was perfect for when you had some off time on the weekend. With the writers of the shows and hand drawn animation FINALLY making a return to theaters with the My Little Pony Movie one can't help but ask: what the **** happened? The weirdest thing about this film is that I can't exactly pin point what made it such a forgettable snooze fest for me. I mean, it was predictable as all hell but I mentioned in my Incredibles 2 review that a film can be predictable and still be engaging as long as it was creative and well written enough that it can be overlooked. Looking back, I think that was the problem here: the My Little Pony Movie completely lacks creativity, it feel like it exists solely to get money out of suckers like me who liked the television series. At certain points it actively felt like it was following a checklist of criteria that had to be met in order for it to meet it's 1 hour and 40 minute run time that it honestly doesn't need in hindsight. There is a point near the end of the film where certain characters reunite with the main 6 and it feels so forced into the writing that it actively took me out of the film. I would comment specifically about other scenes in the film but I'll be honest, I don't remember the film well enough to do such a thing and I haven't felt inclined to return to it so I can so. When that's the case, what can I say? It's not a bad movie, I can't recall anything in the film that actively annoyed me and most bronies seem to happy with it. Maybe I'm just not as enthralled with technicolor ponies as I once was. If you are a brony and want to go see it I'm confident that you will be able to watch it and be satisfied, but for me, it just went on and on and on and on and on and zzzzzzzzzzz. Other movies will be remakes of other movies. Which makes it worse and worse. But this movie. got a 47 rotten tomatoes..Come on people. How about 63. No ok. But still. The 2D animation makes it look so Unique and Gorgeous. For me the movie rating would be 10/10. Best movie of 2017. I recommend for you to see it! 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.
