Fans will rate this highly out of loyalty and forget how badly and one-dimensionally this movie portrays the rich characters from the series, how nonsensical and unnecessary the whole journey is.

Even new characters, that aren't from the series and known to fans recieve bare-bones development as if the whole movie is just an excuse to sell new toy designs following the original popularity.

People saying that the animation is reminiscent of classic Disney movies need to expand their horizons and see what really good animation looks like. And the same can be said about the voice actors. The whole thing is bland, soulless and forgettable. Not to mention repeating the same mistakes from the series, insisting that the princesses hold some sort of amazing power that they never use to actually do anything.

Unfortunately, fans forget how fast undue praise can kill quality and how fast IP owners will treat the series and movie as advertisement rather than part of the product.… Expand

Like a dot at the end of a sentence, MLP:Movie marks the end of a legend.

From revival of a show that manages to, against all odds, gather million of fans, to a movie that has no ambitions or creativity. Prepare for 90 minutes of shallow characters; generic, contrived and at times nonsensical plot; and lacking-anything-noteworthy entertainment.
An utter disappointment.… Expand

Really one of the worst animated movies I've ever seen. Lot of potential for My Little Pony as a franchise but Hasbro, McCarthy, and Vogel don't seem interested in realizing that potential. Waste of time and talent.

I was a HUGE fan of the show back in 2012. This year the leaked emails came out and revealed Hasbro didn't want Applejack in the show because she's, direct quote, a "hick".

This year the leaked emails came out and revealed Hasbro didn't want Applejack in the show because she's, direct quote, a "hick". That takes the wind out of my sails in support of this franchise for me.

Aside from that, the movie doesn't really do anything that hasn't already been done before. It attempts to world build, but that's quickly shut down. Vogel, McCarthy and the current writers strike me as clueless. I don't see how it can get much better.… Expand

Really just a terrible movie. What were they thinking? I mean, really, what were they thinking? Thousands of years of lore and this is what they came up with? Shameful.

A wasted opportunity to build upon Lauren Faust's incredible world established in Friendship is Magic. Instead we get a generic, watered down movie that feels like 3 or 4 scrapped episodes from the show thrown together. Extremely toyetic,A wasted opportunity to build upon Lauren Faust's incredible world established in Friendship is Magic. Instead we get a generic, watered down movie that feels like 3 or 4 scrapped episodes from the show thrown together. Extremely toyetic, ignores the established story of the previous seasons and has a gloomy feel. The animation, however, is gorgeous, and the songs by Daniel Ingram are great!… Expand

Having known the huge reboot hit 2010 television series this film is spun-off from, I was expecting the film's crew to deliver something that had the same high-quality care in writing and animation that has helped the series break the doorsHaving known the huge reboot hit 2010 television series this film is spun-off from, I was expecting the film's crew to deliver something that had the same high-quality care in writing and animation that has helped the series break the doors down in gender/age groups (i.e. it appeals to everybody despite the subject matter). However, I am very disappointed to say that "The Movie" fails to capture any essence of what makes the series so popular with viewers of all kind. "The Movie" falls victim to just about every other film based off a young children's franchise in that the plot is too simple and the songs are padding. Knowing the plots that occur in the film's T.V. series, the film falls woefully short and proves that the writers can only write 22-minute-long plots and not one 100-minute plot. No amount of style and art can make up for its lack of substance. Honestly, fans, non-fans, and the business would have been better off seeing music videos of the tunes online (or on television) instead of them all investing their time into a full-length feature. That way the fans will dig it, the non-fans will have a choice to see them or not, and the business will still get away with selling more merchandise to the kids. It's a missed opportunity for a win-win-win! Now we all have to suffer with another flop of a film where the money and talent could have been used for my above suggestion or something else entirely. Ah, who knows?… Expand
