Ah, My Little Pony: The Movie. As an admitted fan of Generation 1 of MLP (Both 'N Friends and Tales), I have to say... this film is somewhat lacking. There are a lot of moments where it just felt like nothing was happening and it became boring. The animation is typical 80s cartoon fare, the story is... not actually that bad, but the writing is all over the place. At times it feels quite solid, like with the witch sisters Reeka and Draggle learning to work together, but there were quite a few times where it was more than a bit lacking, and often, as I said, boring.
Now, the songs... some of the songs are absolutely horrible (I'll Go It Alone for example) whilst some are mediocre (There's Always Another Rainbow) and yet others are rather wonderful (What Good Will Wishing Do?). I can't understand why they gave such a talented singer as Alice Playten a song like I'll Go It Alone, for example. The direction in songwriting baffles me, as it is, again, all over the place.
There really isn't much to My Little Pony: The Movie, but I still quite enjoy this film. It's certainly far from the worst of the first generation cartoons, movies and specials. I can understand why a lot of people might not like this,other than the usual, generic lack of appeal of cartoon horses to most crowds, but it holds a special place in my heart regardless.
Also Wind Whistler is best pony.
