Mon petit poney

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.

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.

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.

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

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