So, my opinion of My Little Pony The Movie? It's... alright. The plot is on the picaresque side and feels rushed. Elements like the city where everything is for sale, the airship pirates, the sea ponies, are skimmed through rather than solidly established. Similarly, the chief villain is a non-entity; he gets talked about a lot but doesn't actually do anything until the final act. Yes, I know the real focus is on Tempest, the redeemable second-string villain, but in order for that redemption to have impact, you need a sense of how powerful the evil entangling them is.

So it's a bit rambling, shallow and scattershot. But then, I'm looking at it with an adult's eye; ankle biters may be more forgiving.
