8/10
One of my favourite childhood films

When I was very young, I loved the 'My Little Pony' TV series on video and I also had the movie on video. On Boxing Day last year, I watched this film with my mother and my brother on Tiny Pop, a digital channel for young children in the UK.

This film is bright and colourful where good meets evil. The ponies celebrate the first day of spring while the baby ponies participate in a dance. Evil witch Hydia and her daughters Reeka and Draggle threaten to destroy Ponyland by creating a horrible, oozing purple substance called Smooze that eventually hardens because the phlume is missing. Meanwhile, Baby Lickety-Split runs away because she is upset about the ponies scolding her for 'showing off' in the dance. During the runaway, Baby Lickety-Split and Spike encounter Grundles, a group of friendly monster-like creatures and the Flutter Ponies. Will the rest of the ponies ever find Baby Lickety-Split? Will Ponyland eventually become Smooze-free? Watch the movie to find out.

The best things about this film are the songs, some well-known voice actors (Nancy Cartwright, real-life husband and wife Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman) and the 'Casablanca' reference at the beginning where BabyLickety-Split says, "play it again, Spike," instead of "play it again,Sam." 'My Little Pony: The Movie' is a nostalgic 80s film that I would absolutely love to see again and I also wish I had the DVD.
