Critics Consensus

Charming and sweet, My Little Pony: The Movie will please its dedicated fanbase, even if it's unlikely to encourage non-devotees to gallop along for the ride.

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

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

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

Given that the story centers on toy pony princesses with magical abilities, My Little Pony: The Movie contains multitudes to unpack.

Rated: B

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

There's nothing here meant to be taken seriously and there's simply nothing here that can be taken seriously.
