Review of My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) by John S — 07 Oct 2017

This movie was definitely worth the wait, if you're a fan of the show, please, go and see this movie in theaters! The support that everyone gives by purchasing tickets to go see it, will help the possibly of there being another movie, which would be perfectly awesome! The cast was spot on, all the songs were phenomenal as always (Atta boy Daniel Ingram!) The humor, drama, action, all of these moments and more made the movie better than I hoped.

The only part about the movie I didn't like, was the long wait to see it! That and avoiding any and all spoilers, and I tell ya what, that was tough, but well worth the wait and anticipation! Nothing made me and my friends more giddy than waking up Friday morning, (which we barely slept mind you), heading down to our local theater, and getting there half an hour early, waiting for the board to say "Now seating" was probably the most excited we've been to go and sit in the theater, 20 minutes before any trailers or anything! As my friends and I talked about how it was so close to show time, talking about how we were so excited, and that we've never been so excited, well except for that one time, but I mean, who could top that? This movie sure did.

As much as I loved and enjoyed all the Equestria Girls movies, the actual My Little Pony: the Movie blew me away, and immediately jumped to the top of my favorite movies list, within just the opening scene.

(Sorry all the Equestria Girls movies, and of course Space Jam). Nothing has ever brought me and my friends so much joy as this movie did, from start to finish, I was excited, thrilled, happy, ecstatic, even at times, worried, sad, there were even a couple moments where I felt a couple drops of liquid pride/ tears escape my eyes, but I wasn't crying or nothing, I just had something in my eyes.

We all did. Feels. Just overall, in a state of euphoria was how I, and I know my friends, felt, throughout the whole movie, everyone was silent, aside from letting out a chuckle or two, giving a good laugh at the appropriate times, but it was a silence of respect, nobody was talking obnoxiously/ annoyingly.

Nobody was being rude or unnecessarily loud. Everyone was being respectful to one another, and to the beautiful film before us. So thank you to everyone who went to show their massive support and appreciation to the Movie.

Thank you for those who were able to bring a friend or two (maybe even met a new friend, or met up with an old one). But most importantly, thank you to the amazing cast, every single voice actor/actress, (There are, without contest, the best voice talent, and all other kinds of talent that worked on this project, the Mane 6, you already know you nail it perfectly, every time, and everyone already knows who is who, so let me show my appreciation to those new to the cast.

Everyone who came onto this masterpiece, you all fit your roles, perfectly, you all blended so fluently with the already very well known characters, to add a handful of new ones, and seemingly fit in like you've been there forever is wonderful.

From Tempest, who showcased her character, and that she doesn't mess around was quite the astonishment, from 0 to 60 in a short matter of time was crazy to see, Tempest Shadow? More like character established, don't get on her bad side, oh wait, too late, GG.

But seriously, going from avoiding practically any and all spoilers, to seeing a Unicorn, with a broken horn, I was scared, didn't think Unicorn horns could break, I do now, and I could see why she went through life the way she did, I honestly don't really blame her that much for her way of thinking.

Without a doubt, every line was executed perfectly, the tone, the jokes, the happy moments, and the sad moments, every line, perfect. Awesome job.) the incredible writers (Meghan McCarthy, amazing writing, loved every line, every joke, every pun, every witty remark, every.

.. you get the idea. Also Joe Ballarini, you too man. The music crew, (Seriously Daniel, freaking Ingram, loved every song, every time, and of course those who sang the masterpieces of said music as well.

) The animation crew, (loved the way every thing looked, especially the Mane 6, bravo everyone, wished they could look like that in the main show as well, probably a lot more expensive, but it was gorgeous!) And of.
