My Little Pony: Make Your Mark

G4 of MLP was heartfelt, funny, and it had an actual story. G5, however, is fast-paced, hollow, and I still have yet to figure out the plot. Zipp is the only good character, but only in the movie. And I can't even with the animation. Like, they had a perfect formula, but all that went out the window with Make your Mark and ESSPECIALLY Tell your Tale, which isn't even 3D. Side note, what are these names? They sound like human names, and Izzy is just recycled Pinkie Pie. These names have no actual meaning and the characters, except for Zipp, mean nothing to me. Also, why are their names spelled with two p's and not just one? G5 did not do G4 justice.

Not sure why the reviews are so bad. But it could be because a bunch of adults are rating a show catered to kids. My 9 year old daughter loves the show, the graphics, and especially all the color combos of the ponies. She watches it and keep pausing it to show me certain scenes. She noticed all the characters from the movie that was released and their stories. The story lines were well thought out from the scenes she had me watch, let alone there were a lot of funny scenes. Again, it's a perfect show for kids. So it's a 8/10 from my daughter. Good job Netflix for creating yet another good show for KIDS to enjoy!

I reluctantly came to really enjoy the movie after my daughter became obsessed with it and was so excited there would be more to the story...

This is bad. The animation falls flat. The characters move unnaturally (even for animated ponies) and are bad caricatures of the movie characters. Even my daughter can't watch more than 5-10 minutes at a time... there could be some interesting plot points but they're not well handled and it's so hard to watch to even get to them.

It's got a lot to uphold being the successor to Friendship is Magic. The animation for the series was never going to be as pretty as the movie, it's not the best but it's also not terrible.

There are a few aspects of the series which bother me, particularly the over-use of mobile phones by Pipp. (I feel like this will be a part of her character development however). A few of the songs have felt a forced/unnecessary and there have been moments where it has felt very childish.

However, it IS a kids show. The characters are cute and likable. I'm curious to see where the story goes and there have been a few moments that have given me that warm fuzzy feeling. So far, I have really enjoyed the new series. I'm excited to see what the future holds for My Little Pony.

It really looks cheap in every aspect. The world looks boring and empty. The dialogue is what a kid would play with their toys. The story spits out so many ideas which all just seem to try to beat eachother in "coolness". The movie is really loud at times. Like having to scream or sing out lines just to make the kids look at the screen again.

It is definitely back to its roots: My little pony is for kids.
