VarietyAmy NicholsonOct 5, 2017
Beat by beat, My Little Pony: The Movie is at once clichéd and exceptional. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBarbara VanDenburghOct 5, 2017
It’s all joyous silliness, as a My Little Pony movie should be, packed with clean humor and pony puns. Read full review

TheWrapElizabeth WeitzmanOct 5, 2017
Yes, My Little Pony: The Movie, like its television predecessor, is all dressed up in bubbles and cupcakes and rainbows. But it’s so jam-packed with rousing girl power, it passes the Bechdel Test with (literally) flying colors. Read full review

Viewers who don’t want to visit Ponyville should just skip to the next town. Read full review

The A.V. ClubGwen IhnatOct 5, 2017
My Little Pony: The Movie tries to get meta on the sickly sweetness of its subject matter. Read full review

Austin ChronicleSteve DavisOct 4, 2017
The jaunty score of musical numbers (yes, there are songs) sounds vaguely familiar and yet instantly forgettable. Its only contribution to the film is to extend its running length unnecessarily by about a quarter of an hour. Read full review

Imagine eating a giant bag of Skittles, then throwing it all up in a fit of sugar-induced nausea and you’ll have some idea of what it feels like to sit through My Little Pony: The Movie. Read full review

It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for those who already love it, it’ll be just right. Read full review

IGNWilliam BibbianiOct 5, 2017
My Little Pony: The Movie falls apart in the end because it resolves its conflict the way that conventional blockbusters do, and not in the way that My Little Pony does. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenOct 5, 2017
While the main characters appear to have been given a bit of Powerpuff Girl sass by screenwriters Meghan McCarthy, Rita Hsiao and Michael Vogel, it ultimately does little to goose the limited hand-drawn 2D animation. Read full review

If you’re over the age of five, and you’re not taking someone UNDER the age of five to see My Little Pony: The Movie, you’re in the wrong theater. Read full review

San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubOct 5, 2017
Some people clearly had a good time making this film. Whether you have a good time watching it depends almost entirely on your Pony love walking in. Read full review

Slant MagazineKeith WatsonOct 5, 2017
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. Read full review
