Spring has arrived and the My Little Ponies are having a gay old time! But after screwing up a dance recital, Baby Lickety-Split feels unwanted and runs away from home. Oh no! While the ponies go in search of her, the evil witch Hydia and her two ne'er-do-well children are determined to destroy the pony's home with a nastiness known as The Smooze.

Many of the cartoons of my childhood are truly awful when I go back and look at them again. This was not one of those. It was a decent story, appropriate for children and decently animated. Granted, the songs were sort of weak and didn't really have the lyrical genius an adult might like. I wonder how much crap my mom had to sit through with me as a child.

But the messages are good. First, we learn that families are important and that parents should love their children and children should love their parents. The evil witch Hydia won't let her kids call her "mom" and makes them do horrible things to those innocent little ponies. Mothers, love your babies, and don't let them grow up to be cowboys. Kids, love your parents, and know they're (probably) doing the best they can. Unless they're like Hydia, then your parents are bad and you should get new ones.

We also learn that running away is not the answer to feeling unwanted. Someone out there probably loves you, unless you're a really awful person. But even then you can probably find someone. Baby Lickety-Split was cute and everyone loved her, she was just too focused on being the star of the show, rather than working as a team. It's important to put in your best effort, but don't step on other people's toes.

I really loved the Smooze... and the song that goes with it, because nothing can stop the Smooze. I really cannot describe this, so you may as well see it. If you get the DVD, you can jump to any song you want. Go ahead and jump to this song before you even watch the movie, it's not going to ruin anything and really sets up the greatness of the film.

Danny DeVito gets top billing for this film. Don't be fooled by that. He doesn't show up until much later and plays a minor character, the Grundle King, with few lines. Those lines, by the way, are in broken English. So he doesn't even really have a full sentence in his script. Mr. DeVito, you lucky man... getting such credit for such little work.

Mike Joens is the director. Joens has done a fair amount of work with the art department of "The Muppet Babies", another great cartoon, so you know this one is in good hands. The writer is George Arthur Bloom, who has been involved in a great many pony projects. If anyone knows the mythology of My Little Pony, it's Bloom.

Whether you have kids or not, I think this is a winner of a film. I don't have my own kids, but still I loved it. If I did, I would show this to them because it's better than much of the current kid stuff out there. Not all, but much of it. (It's hard to beat things like "Shrek", but not so hard to beat many of the television cartoons.) Go to your local Family Video, where kids movies are free, and pick this one up today.

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.

By far one of the most sickeningly cute movies of all time. I grew up as a child of the 80's so naturally this was just one of the such films I was subject to as a child. Looking back after all these years, I was surprised to see the all star cast that made up the ensemble.

Basically the story involves a group of ponies who have to fight off three witches plans to flood their valley with something called a Smooze. I don't know what it all means, but I remember that my sister made me sit through this one as well as all the Care Bear movies.

If you've never even heard of "My Little Pony", then don't even try to watch this film. You had to actually experience it when it first came out to understand everyone's fascination with it. But still, I'll give it 6 stars since at least there's nothing truly wrong with it and the fact that it's marginally better then all the crap it spawned.

I'd first like to point out that if it wasn't for the newest My Little Pony show, I wouldn't have any interest in My Little Pony at all. But, since I was bored, I decided to watch the original theatrical movie on Youtube, and, while it wasn't a great movie, it wasn't that bad either.

Things I liked: -The animation was pretty good, especially compared to the later series My Little Pony N Friends. There were some rather obvious animation errors, but overall everything moved smoothly, and there was quite a bit of movement.

-I also really liked the backgrounds. They were very detailed, and some parts just looked gorgeous.

-I thought the musical score was very whimsical.

-The story was easy to follow, and it moved along at a decent pace.

-There were a few suspenseful moments. Adults should find these mildly amusing, children will probably find them exciting.

Things I disliked: -The characters had no interesting personalities. A lot of them just seemed to be filler, the rest only had one personality trait to go on.

-The villain was weak. She had no motivation, and she just wasn't threatening enough.

-The songs were really bad. They were mostly forgettable, and they were all sung my horrible singers. I'd understand if one of them was sung badly for comedic effect, they were ALL sung badly. It's like they couldn't afford any professional singers.

-The humor was really mostly weak. I laughed at a few lines, but the slapstick was mostly lame.

I'd recommend this to parents who were fans of eighties My Little Pony if they want to introduce the franchise to their kids. But if you want an animated masterpiece you and your children will both love, I'd suggest something from Disney.

All nostalgic value aside, this movie is just bad.

One, the 1980s wasn't a good time for cartoons in general, especially for MLP. The "stories" are weak and were honestly just a way for the creatures to make a quick buck and a way for parents to just keep the kids out of their hair for an hour and a half.

Two, Unlike now, MLP didn't give any of the characters a personality. They were all just cardboard cutouts to fill (you guessed it) an episode on a Saturday morning cartoon with a basic lesson for 2- 6 year olds like "don't be selfish" and "friendship is great".

Three The movie has horrible songs like "can't stop the smooze" and the voice acting is also horrible. And to be frank, the only reason I liked this was because of the colors and glittery look of the ponies...when I was 6. A movie like this just doesn't hold up and any level. And in 2015, there are A LOT more better choices for kids compared to the tripe back then.

I used to LOVE this movie growing up, used to make my parents rent it at the video store as much as possible... not sure why we didn't just buy it or tape it. :) Its older, but a classic, not sure what it was about this movie but I thought it was great, very entertaining. It doesn't have the bright colors and large, vivid shapes that the new shows have now, so kids these days may not like it as much, I am not sure. We have a 1-year-old, she really likes the new Disney shows, not the old cartoons such as this one, Bugs Bunny, Jetsons, etc. Too bad for the younger generation, they don't know what they're missing! Thanks!

...at how decent this movie was. I did love it as a kid, but I hadn't seen the movie, its sequel or the TV series since was I was like 9. Now after My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, which is one of the better animated shows I've seen in a while, I grew interested in re-visiting them, actually expecting them to not be anywhere near as good as I remembered, starting with this movie. It is not perfect, the film does have some suspenseful and touching moments but there are times where the slapsticky humour fell flat. By all means there were times when it was amusing, but others where it wasn't. The characters are likable enough and cute, with my favourite being adorable Spike with genuinely sinister Smooze not far behind, but none of them really have exactly interesting personalities and that's including Hydia, who is more a comical villain than a scary one. In regard to this point, without making it overly so I think to contrast with her daughters, who were really the comical characters, Hydia could have been more threatening. And I have to admit I didn't care for the songs very much, with exception of the title song and Smooze's song. The melodies were forgettable mostly, the lyrics coming across as overly cutesy and some(not all, Megan's was lovely) suffered from bad vocals consisting of forced tone and not much of a sense of pitch. Lickity Split's "I want"(type of song that is) song was especially true of all those things. On the other hand, I did like the animation, with the backgrounds beautiful and the colours bright and breezy. The incidental music score is wonderful and full of appealing whimsy, and the story is cute and easy to follow with suspenseful moments and good messaging. The voice cast are absolutely great, Danny DeVito is good although his appearance is somewhat brief and Rhea Perlman and especially Madeline Kahn are a lot of fun and are an amusing double act, but for me the best was Cloris Leachman. Although the character of Hydia is not quite up to Leachman's calibre, she really sounds as though as though she was having a ball providing the voice. Overall, a decent if imperfect movie. 7/10 Bethany Cox

I remember being extremely disappointed with this movie as a child. Comparing it to "Resque at Midnight Castle", one of the very first and obvious things I don't like is the character Baby Lickety-Split. This character is so insanely obnoxious and selfish, yet she is the big focus of this story. To summon up the character, all she does is think about herself and if she doesn't get her way, she will cry like a baby and pout. Much like "A Troll in Central Park", when the main character is such a brat, then the movie becomes a drag.

Thankfully there are some distractions, such as the witches making the evil "ooze" to cover the land in a concrete like goo that makes people angry when they come in contact with it and can't be cleansed. A lovely addition to an already obnoxious cast, isn't it? Sigh...

So some characters goes for a search to get rid of the goo, while Lickety Split is on her own adventure, because she is such a brat she runs away. So the focus shifts between three focuses. The search party, Lickety-Brat and the witches.

The movie I found had some very few enjoyable moments. Most of the movie is quite slow, the characters are mostly annoying and the songs weren't very spectacular either. Even Lickety-Brat gets her own song. (Ugh! And yes, the song is nothing but whining on her part....) In the first release in Sweden, they cut the scary parts out (as well as the spider Agh, who has a one second appearance because of bad editing), so when I watched the movie it didn't make sense to me at all why they suddenly shouted "We made it!" when there wasn't any apparent danger. It wasn't such a treat to watch these cut scenes when I watched the full movie, as the animation is so sloppy that they have the wrong characters in the scene! Not only that, but the characters changes in the scenes. Sometimes even Lickety-Brat is there though she's not supposed to. That's beyond bad... quality control anyone?

I watch this movie very rarely. I think last time I saw it was about five years ago and it doesn't really cross my mind to watch it again.

This movie was one of my favorites when I was about 6. I was OBSESSED with My Little Pony at that age. I had my share of ponies, of course, and I had to watch this movie every single day. I drove my family and everyone crazy with it. Then, as with all the others, I grew up...

Fast forward 19 years. I am now 25, and I recently re-discovered this movie and bought it for my friend's 2-year old daughter. I am now realizing what I put everyone else through, and my friend now absolutely hates me for bringing this movie into their home, because all this kid ever wants to watch is her "pony movie." I just think it is amazing how this movie can capture the attention of today's generation as well as ours. It is an awesome children's movie, with enough songs and action to keep any 2-7 year old busy. I am realizing now just why I loved this movie so much as a kid.

Spike is a cute dragon & the Smoose is funny. (Reminds me of Grimer from the Pokemon series.) Danny DeVito (Taxi) & Rhea Perlman (Cheers)are interesting casting. The intro with the animals is adorable. I like the Smoose song; the rest range from sugared to painful. It is aimed to sell toys & isn't subtle, but if you look past it, you've got a likeable movie. The witches are adequate villains, more comic than scary. Og, the Flume plant & the Evil Forest are entertaining, but the Smoose beats them all. If you've collected the toys, you'll enjoy this. I still have a few, including Spike & Wind Whistler, who both appear. Each type of pony, Pegasus, Unicorn, Earthling, Sea, Baby & Flutter is represented, as are some of the buildings. It'll take you back. 6/10

I remember not much about this film but remember i was absolutely terrified of those slime creatures when i was around 4 years old and have lived in utter fear since. just feels like a big nightmare

I loved this show...wait...i still LOVE it! I was a kid when i saw it and remembered being so scared of the flooze, getting all worried the ponies may not find any way to stop it. I loved seeing the way the stupid witch sisters argued and all...

I loved the bushwoolies MOST! They're so CUTE!!! I loved the way one said "Coming with you? Oh yeah yeah..good idea.." and when Shady was scolding herself, he would agree with all she said and she got upset and asked if he ever thought for himself, and he replied "Yeah...RUN!"

OK, enough on the characters...this movie is a real classic..so imagine my delight at finding the VCD recently! I had a recorded version of this movie on VHS, but it was old. So when I saw the vcd and such a reasonable price..of course i quickly bought it! Now i can enjoy the memories of my childhood...MY LITTLE PONIES was my favourite cartoon and toy of all time...

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.

A pleasant story. Lots of soft, pastel colors. Smiley Happy Ponies, laughing.

Two Thumbs up...and I'm a guy! :)

I'd totally forgotten about this little movie until I went to a mates the other day and noticed her little girl had it on DVD, yes.......I just had to borrow it lol, I hadn't seen it since I was about 5 or 6 (Im 20 now lol) and I still remember most of the words in it! Despite the lack of technology when it was made, unlike what we have now, I still think it is a good movie and will definitely buy it for my kids one day when I have them. Watching this movie brought back some memories and I will certainly watch it again in the future. I didn't even know Danny Devito was in it lol. My favourite character has to be the grundles, just goes to show, never judge a book by it's cover. Erm I think I've done my 10 lines now lol xxxx

The evil witch Hydia plans to turn the idyllic Ponyville into a wasteland with a horrifying substance only known as the Smooze. Will aid come from Dream Valley? The story here is very heavy and a good job has been made of trimming down the story to make it accessible to those not familiar with the story. The characters are quite well developed - the beauty of the film is that it knows there will be more films so it doesn't have to rush past characterisation where other films would need to get down to action quickly to ensure that it can get a sequel greenlighted.

The visuals are fantastic, the special effects are brilliant and are mixed well with natural scenery to great effect, there's no doubting that Michael Joens can cope with such a grand canvas to work on. The action scenes are also very well handled and the Smooze special effects are mostly good (only occasionally it is obvious that some are computer generated).

The main problem with the film is that it isn't a lot of fun. I know it wants to be serious but it also needs to be fun for the audience to watch, 89 minutes is a long time to sit listening to lots of talk about family trees and ancient quests etc. I didn't want comedy but it all took itself too seriously to be totally enjoyable. Another problem with it is that the pacing is all off - the film has a set pattern that goes all the way through, first a talky scene with slow camera movements, then the music changes, the camera starts zooming around and we enter an action scene, then back to a talky scene, then an action/chase scene and so on. It all gets a bit tiresome with it's continual cut between action/talking/action/talking with a relentless monotony. There's nothing wrong with the content but it all gets a bit tiresome after a while.

The cast are roundly great - almost totally well cast with the exception of Danny De Vito who sounds and acts just like his character in Terms of Endearment - it makes it too distracting. Charles Adler as Spike is a little too serious at times, gazing off into the distance and delivering straight dialogue. Tammy Anderson and Sheryl Bernstein are both great, Tammy especially with her flawed character struggling against the Smooze. The best character in the film is the Smooze! The film suffers from not having a bad guy to focus on (Wysteria is built up but she isn't the main source of evil). Giving the Smooze itself the ability to tempt and manipulate and speak, this makes it the main evil character and makes the quest even more tense.

Overall it's a big grown up blockbuster with amazing effects but it isn't very much fun to watch (not just laughs but basic enjoyment). A good film but far from perfect - 4 out of 5.

If you're a My Little Pony fan,then I'm sure you will love this movie. Even though I'm 17,I class this movie as one of my favourites.Okay so some of the songs are annoying and sometimes its a bit slow in places but if you can get past that its a really cute little movie that any MLP collector or fan can enjoy.

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!

oh god i could watch this movie till the cows come home!!! i love the part when shady says, "its all my fault," and magic star says, "no its not, shady." Then gusty says, "yes it is. YES IT IS!!!!!!" i recommend it to a mlp lover its soooo damn cute!!!
