A poorly made soft reboot, at the end of the day. There's a lot of walking. Doesn't have the same heart and soul of the previous iteration, Friendship is Magic.

They try to throw in a left-wing political message, but its more apparent in the marketing campaign than it is the movie.

The animation and character designs on the surface appear more detailed, but you'll find both more enjoyable in FiM than you will this. FiM's 2D animation holds up ten years later, while A New Generation doesn't really do anything new or cool with 3D animation.

The voice actors in FiM are significantly better than the voice actors here, and seeing as these are "big celebrity" voice actors, you'll probably see half of these characters recast for the inevitable TV series. It's hard to not compare this to the Friendship is Magic, G4 iteration of this franchise, when FiM found so much success with demographics outside of the children and families demographic. Maybe that's the lens of the Internet clouding what real success looks like... maybe the adult fanbase wasn't significant enough of a success to warrant following a similar formula, ie fantasy adventure/slice of life set in a fantasy setting. Regardless, the gap in quality between FiM (being high quality for at least most of its run as a TV series, season 8 and 9 dropped off in quality in my opinion) and A New Generation is so significant that its almost hard to even recognize the two as part of the same larger franchise.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie sucks. Had the film been a solo reboot or set during the final episode of season 9 of Friendship Is Magic, I would have been fine with the film and new series.

Hasbro killing off all the characters from Generation 4 that were well beloved, including immortal characters and non-pony species is a disrespect to Lauren Faust and those that made that show great. Choosing Vanessa Hudgens to voice Sunny was a terrible idea. She had made porn photos and has done sex scenes and rated R films. This is who Hasbro wants to lead the new My Little Pony? This is not canon to Lauren Faust’s version of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic or IDW’s version of MLP: FIM.… Expand
