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

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

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.

This movie does not give an actual lesson or give young viewers a positive note, but rather then just a lousy and bad entertainment for the my little pony fans. All it does was trying to do something right, but always back fire ever single time the mane 6 mess things up, especially Twilight Sparkle. To top of all that this is a Canon fiction which relate to the tv show’s story in which is not a good idea of those writers were thinking in making of this lazy appeal to the fans. Finally, I’m not a fan of this show Gets the wrong idea about the ponies empathy and sorry for themselves Every pony in this awful show and movie it is not contract the great feelings or the Righteous thing to do about the situation we’re everything is just alright for them and they don’t care about more serious tone about what’s ever going to happen to the characters into a not so happy place. That is all.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
