All this may be enough to keep 3- to 7-year-olds entertained for an hour and a half on a hot summer's day, and there is certainly nothing in this sanitized fairy tale that will frighten or alarm them unduly. Unlike the great Disney classics, however, there is also nothing that will move them - and there are very few bones of wit thrown to the poor parents who will have to sit through the film with children of this age group.

The story is treacly sweet, told in a simplistic animation style that has lamentably become an industry standard. Kids will enjoy the events, however, and parents might be mildly amused by the cast of famous voices. But at close to an hour and a half, MY LITTLE PONY pushes the limits of a younger child's attention span.

The better children's movies offer a subtle level of humor to keep the adults entertained while the kiddies enjoy the basic story. [03 Jul 1986, p.D8]
