The unimaginable has happened... Equestria has lost its magic! Earth Ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasi are no longer friends and now live separated by species. But idealistic Earth Pony Sunny (Vanessa Hudgens) is determined to find a way to bring enchantment and unity back to their world. Teaming up with open-hearted Unicorn Izzy (Kimiko Glenn), the pair travel to faraway lands where they encounter the likes of charismatic and brave Pegasi Pipp (Sofia Carson) and Zipp (Liza Koshy) and the ever-responsible fellow Earth Pony Hitch (James Marsden). Their mission is full of misadventures, but these new best friends each possess their own unique and special gifts that may be just what this ponyverse needs to restore magic and prove that even little ponies can make a big difference.

... A fantastic introduction [to the My Little Pony saga] yet sufficiently conclusive to stand alone [within the franchise].

I don't know if I respect what this movie is doing, but I appreciate the absurdity with which they do it.

"My Little Pony: A New Generation" follows in the tradition of MLP: candy colors, poppy music, gentle humor, warm-hearted lessons about friendship, and selling merchandise.

Rated: B

What bothers me is that, underneath all this self-conscious good feeling and empowerment, these characters were designed to be sold as toys to little girls.

It has absolutely nothing to do with my little pony or Equestria. It's not even in Equestria. Terrible reboot.

Shooting for the skies by hoof-horning a beloved 2010s franchise, My Little Pony: A New Generation can’t quite replicate the charm of the original films, but this big-badless animated adventure should be enough to satisfy young viewers.

It was a good movie filled with comedy, music, adventures. But it was not as good as the first movie (2D)

For my first time taking the MLP franchise somewhat seriously, it was a surprisingly pleasant experience. WIth notable actors like Kimiko Glenn, James Marsden, Ken Jeong, and Vanessa Hudgens, the characters were very interesting and entertaining as well. The movie has a serviceable plot, with a few here-and-there's that could be tweaked. A hilarious, kind-hearted film with a nice little moral to wrap it up nice and tight for all families to enjoy.

Ok, but this was horrible. I wish I could give it 0 stars. It's not the animation, or anything like that, it's the story. It's HORRIBLE. It's changed everything of the original My Little Pony. And it literally says that the ponies hated each other, even though the series already did that and solved it... and how did Sunny turn into a alicorn so quickly? It's just a bad storyline... and it ruined my childhood. It should have been the Mane 6.
