My Little Pony: The Movie 30th Anniversary Edition

Hi there!! I hope everyone is doing well. I LOVE this movie and the TV Series. I used to watch it all the time when I was little and I'm now twenty and still LOVE it.Summary: The witches from the volcano of gloom want to destroy the ponies spring festival, so they create the Smooze to devour ponyland. Baby Lickety Split runs away after Buttons yells at her, and she is accompanied by Spike, a baby dragon. They meet the Grundles who help them find their way back to Dream Castle.Meanwhile, The smooze has gotten Gusty, who is very upset and Wind Whistler suggests they go to Megan for help. Upon arriving at Megan's house, they meet Megan's little sister, Molly, who is seven and Danny, Megan's younger brother who is ten. Molly is riding Megan's old pony, TJ, and successfully jumps a bail of hay with Megan snapping a picture proudly. After the picture is taken, Wind Whistler explains the situation and Megan insists to help. Danny wants to help too, as does Molly, who is very close to Megan and doesn't want to be left out. They return to ponyland where the other little ponies are introduced to Molly and Danny. Fizzy, who is a fun loving, easy going unicorn, takes to Molly instantly and vowels to take care of her for Megan. Megan and the little ponies rush off to seek the Moochick's help after the smooze traps the Rainbow of Light and covers Dream Castle. The Moochick tells them they need the help of the Flutter ponies who live in Flutter Valley. He also gives them a new home, Paradise Estate. After Megan who is accompanied by Fizzy and Wind Whistler, leave the Moochick, they return to Dream Castle to pick up the other little ponies, as well as Molly and Danny. Molly hops on Fizzy, and Danny hops on Surprise. After Megan hops on Wind Whistler they're off.I don't want to give away anymore, but the movie ends on a very sweet and uplifting note.Proes:The movie teaches valuable lessons about faith and family and it also shows you more of Megan's home life and her family. It shows that she will do anything and everything to protect Molly and Danny, along with the little ponies. It also shows her being more stern with Molly and Danny when they fight, which I think is good considering, Megan was portrayed in the other two movies as being an only child and not very confident in herself, but with a sweet and nice personality. There were also great songs and I loved the message of , "There's Always Another Rainbow". I firmly believe that myself. Always have, always will.I also liked the fact that RoseDust, the Queen of the Flutter ponies, refused to help Megan and the others at first. It gave the story more of a climax and it also gave viewers a reason to keep watching it. The other reason I thought that part was good is because it taught the lesson of tolerance and helping others, even if they aren't like you. Which in my opinion, is a very good lesson to learn.Cons:The smooze was plain useless. It didn't have any characteristics or anything. Meaning, usually when they have a villain, it speaks it's own mind. This thing just took orders. Boring!!

Holy crap - what a godsend! As summer break waned, my girls became increasingly restless – to the point I was relieved and surprised every evening when I arrived home from work and didn’t see a broken window and one (or more) of my kids lying in the front lawn. As a general rule, summer-time television is used quite sparingly at home so I was surprised to see an email notification from Amazon scroll across the top of my phone thanking me for my order of My Little Pony: The Movie. My wife must have been having a very bad day.For my children, this movie did not elicit the normal hyper-active behaviors, including; dancing, singing, spinning, jumping, screaming about, followed by a frenetic recap of every scene and inevitably a fight over who was going to pretend to be what character. . Rather, My Little Ponies lulled them into a trance-like state complete with temporary paralysis, red-eyes and mild drooling. They were completely and utterly mesmerized and I couldn’t have gotten their attention if I had entered the house riding an actual pony.What’s funny is that my wife fondly recalls the innocence of this movie from when she saw it in the theater as a child. But when we watched it with the girls, (who, by this point, had watched it six consecutive times) we realized that the crap today is no better or worse than the crap from 30 years ago. There is some minor verbal abuse and your run-of-the-mill evil - intent on ruining all that is good and beautiful for no good reason. I think under normal circumstances I would have turned off the show and found something better, but like I said, it was the end of summer and the kids eventually sapped all of our patience, creativity and standards. Besides, it was ok when we were little, so, you know… its fine.Here’s the best part – they don’t sell 1986 era My Little Ponies at the stores (at lease the stores I’ve been in with the girls), they only sell the newer ones. So when my girls run up to the stuffed animal display at (insert store name here) because they see a My Little Pony, they inevitably return empty handed because they didn’t have the one they wanted. Note – this will only save you money if you don’t let your kids watch the newer My Little Pony shows.While I personally don’t care for the movie, I can assure you that my daughters will stand behind this 5-star rating. I’m fairly certain they prefer this to Frozen - and that is saying something.

I’d been looking for this for my daughter as she used to watch it when she was younger. She’s very happy with it and has watched it a few times now. Dvd works fine and is good quality.

My daughter loved it, only problem was we had to watch it via the laptop

Nothing compares to the original TV show and Movie. Cartoons today just don't teach kids the same things. These great 809's cartoons used to teach kids about adult problems in a child friendly way. I love all the guest star voices like Cloris Leachman that you never realized as a child. This movie is funny, exciting and fun for the whole family.

At least this is the proper version though, with all the songs you remember & all the characters. Now a lot of you may say it's not the best of films or cartoons, but do remember this was from the 1980s & meant for children, so please bear that in mind. Plus the G1 stories are good in their own right, featuring villains, doubts, courage, hope, & how the misfit is the one who saves the day or solves the problem, so just enjoy this trek down memory lane to see what we grew up wi xxx

This is a show that I had on VHS. My Children would watch it and rewind all day long. So for Christmas I thought it would be a good idea to bring back some childhood memories. When they opened up the movies they start reciting it word for word (this encluded the songs as well). They loved their gifts of chidhood memories.
