Before I start - Put yourself in the place of a pony-obsessed 5 year old girl! Got the mind-set? Okay - what a super film!! Any MLP fan will be pleased with this addition to the stable (sorry)! The original MLP The Movie was such a shocking affair, that there simply had to be an improvment. Thankfully there's a distinct lack of Smooze in this episode as it concentrates on developing the Pony character of key players in the Valley. Wysteria wakes up a small and rather irritating dragon called Spike and in doing so becomes Princess Designate for Ponyville. If you're looking for plot-lines thick with sub-text, erm,....look somewhere else. However, for the aforementioned 5 year old - this is just marvellous. When asked "how many marks out of ten?", the answer was "thirty nine" and you get the added bonus of meeting the Breezies. (Oh please...if you need to ask...)
Animation is first class, if a little simple. The soundtrack is very good, especially on a Home Theatre rig and the songs not too nausea-inducing.
So, a thumbs-up then. My only tip for the adult viewer is - leave the room, for surely brain cells will die!
