I was introduced into the new MLP:FiM sometime in late 2011/early 2012, and checked it out because of a lot of people talked about it. I became somewhat of a brony later in spring 2012, yet I also heard about the older generations, although I shrugged it off. Not too late this summer, I became curious of the G1 episodes, and it was fairly good. I decided to give this movie a go, and I though it wasn't too bad. There's a few iffy moments in the movie, but it shouldn't ruin anything. One of the major flaws was that some of the voices sounded nasally in the songs. But what's not to like about adventurous ponies? And this is coming from a guy.

In my formative years, I watched this movie almost daily. How my mum put up with that, I'll never know! But one year I lent the videotape to a friend, suddenly changed schools, and never got it back. Oh, a sad period of my childhood! I think I loved this movie as a child because of the bright colors, the pretty ponies, the fact that this was a world of the equine. After all, what girl didn't go through a horsey phase, even if only for a short while? Only now, upon reflection and re-watching, I realize that all the morals the movie was trying to teach never really hit me as a kid.Lines like "It's easy to be courageous when helping others!" totally flew over my small-child head. I don't think they even sunk in subliminally! What I DO know is that to this day, I can sing the songs, word for word and tune for tune.(And yes, my late teens brought on a phase of nostalgia, where I raced from place to place searching for this movie on DVD... God bless eBay, even if the movie turned out to be a complete and utter bootleg. At least I had it. And subjected my poor roommate to many a sing-along with the Smooze song.) If you show this film to your kids -- or watch it yourself -- purely for entertainment (and expecting serious cheese), then you'll enjoy the trip. (Yes, pun intended...) If you're looking for morals to give your kids, or to inspire them, then... You should probably choose something else. This is fluff, pure fluff, with a little "twinkle" added.

I used to watch this movie everyday between the hours of 2-4pm when i was younger! AND I MEAN EVERYDAY! It was the best thing i ever watched. and it was the only thing i would watch. I went to garage sales upon garage sales collecting the little ponies. I wish i could find my collection again! :( If anyone has this movie and wants to like give it to a good home i would so take it off your hands. Or the ponies, I would love to get those again. Childhood memories are the best thing. :P I have to write 10 lines and this is going to take forever. Since i don't know what else to talk about except how much this movie makes me laugh now that i look back to it. It is pretty ridiculous but i love it anyways! Well, that is my 10 lines!

Back when I was six I dragged my poor Mom to see this in the theaters. I LOVED it! When I got older I watched it every time it was on the Disney channel. Now that I'm in college I still watch it every once in a while. Is it a bad movie? You better believe it. Is it great 80's nostalgia? You better believe it! I think out of the many 80's cartoon/toy lines that made it to theaters this is actually one of the better efforts. It's held up better over time than say, the Care Bear movies. Oh course being a little girl who loved ponies and horses it's no brainer why I thought this was one of the greatest movies ever when I was six. I still watch it now for a trip down memory lane.
