My Little Pony: Le meilleur cadeau du monde

At first I thought this would be your average television-show Christmas special, but I was definitely wrong! This was actually a really good MLP TV Special. It was always interesting and I never got bored. It was also really funny, and I also really liked the references to other Christmas films, like Elf and A Charlie Brown Christmas. It also had a really good message!

Plus, this film got me really excited for MLP season 9! Highly recommend to fans of MLP and anyone who just generally loves Christmas films! 8/10

BEST MLP TV SPECIAL !!! +story +jokes +soundtrack -just 44 minutes :(

You'd think at this time of year they'd be making a special about the Nightmare Night Festival. Always great to have Christmas stuff, or rather Heart's Warming Eve. This is the length of two episodes or a two parter. You'd think it would be about the characters facing some major problem or a monster. Instead, it's just all these individual stories about the Mane 6 and Spike trying to get their friend a present. We get to see reindeer!

They don't seem to be Santa's reindeer. In fact, I don't think this holiday has any equivalent of Santa Claus. It does get a lot more adventurous and interesting near the end. With all this going on, the pacing is easily the strongest part of the special. Of course, we can watch this all day just looking at the beautiful facial expressions and features. I knew Discord would be cooking up some kind of mischief. ****

While it definitely feels more like a long episode than any sort of movie, it certainly delivers on being a fun outing without the sort of fate of the world stuff you'd expect from a 2-parter of FiM.

It pretty much perfectly nails the formula and manages to keep some tension in the narrative despite its slice-of-life nature. In fact, I'd quite confidently say this has the best characterization of its main characters the series has to offer.

If there's one issue, it's that the characters Pinkie meets on her adventure feel...very out of place, with cheesy voices and dialog like they were from a generation 3 special, but thankfully they aren't a big focus of what's going on.
