My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Leslie Felperin Radio Times This instalment has all the sly wit and fine character development -- once again effervescent Pinkie Pie steals the show -- that die-hard devotees treasure so much. Rated: 4/5 Dec 21, 2017 Full Review My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) ... its sugary surface the film offers itself as a guide for little girls on how to navigate the world that lies before them, stressing the need for female solidarity above all. Rated: 3/5 Nov 3, 2017 Full Review My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Tara Brady Irish Times Daniel Ingram's big, Broadway musical numbers are epically-produced toe-tappers. The background designs are Ghibli-inspired excellent. And Emily Blunt couldn't invest Tempest with more tragedy and effort if she was doing an Ibsen play. Rated: 3/5 Oct 23, 2017 Full Review My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Dana Sloane Mediaversity Reviews Given that the story centers on toy pony princesses with magical abilities, My Little Pony: The Movie contains multitudes to unpack. Rated: B Oct 8, 2021 Full Review My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Leigh Monson Substream Magazine A pretty shallow experience, which is functionally fine for distracting a small child for over an hour but somewhat disappointing for adults and fans hoping to get something out of the experience too. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 1, 2020 Full Review My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com There's nothing here meant to be taken seriously and there's simply nothing here that can be taken seriously.

Nikola K I personally really enjoyed the movie when it first came out, i still enjoy it today too. I adored the animation, the story was decent, the voice acting was pretty good (at least in my language) and the characters were decent as well. From the non-pony ,my favourite one was probably Capper or Celaeno. From the pony characters it was of course Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. I liked Tempest Shadow, i felt bad for her but her real name kinda thrown me off, thats just a me thing tho. I didnt like the storm king, i mean duh, hes a villain but even if he wasnt,i would not like him. His design feels kinda meh, his whole character throws me off. I also loved Skystar and queen Novo. Both their seapony form and their normal hippogriff form were amazing in my opinion.Its definetly worth a watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Sebastian M so amazing. the mane 6 going through the parts of equestria that we don't see in the show was amazing. everything was amazing. also i have nostalgia of watching this on Kodi. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review Noe G My Little Pony the movie from 2017 is my number 1 best animated film from 2017 I give this film a 10/10 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Liam C It's pretty good! The animation style definitely took some getting used to, but with all the original VA's and cast, it wasn't that hard of a jump. I do find it odd they shoved as many big names celebrities into the film as possible, but I guess that's just show bizz. Tempest was a great villain, way more menacing than any prior MLP villain before or since, except maybe Tirek. The music (which there is a LOT of,) is just fantastic, the visuals are bright and colorful, the story flows pretty good and the world is heavily expanded on. I feel like having the MLP movie be smack in the middle of the TV series could be a bit confusing however. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Дмитрий Ð Polin Gagarina Duplicated Tempest Shadow Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/08/24 Full Review Aleczander t I loved it! This is way better than A New Generation! Their adventures are superb! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
