My Little Pony: a New Generation review
I am a child of the 80s, and grew up with the first generation of My Little Ponies. Late last year, I began collecting the toys, so when I heard that a new My Little Pony movie was coming out, I jumped at the chance to review it.
The My Little Pony: A New Generation movie is stuffed full of laughs for adults and children alike (my husband thought it was funny!) plus a wide variety of music styles, in songs that have you tapping your toes and wanting to dance.
And the animation! Oh, the animation … this movie is 3-D animation at its best. The characters *look* like ponies — they run like ponies, they fly like … Pegasi. I also finally learned the plural word for pegasus … Pegasi!
The characters themselves are extremely relatable, even watching as an adult. The storyline isn’t obvious — definitely a few plot twists.
It is a few generations after the time of the Mane Six ... and things are not well in Equestria. It seems all of the pony races -- Earth Ponies, Pegasi and Unicorns -- think that everyone else is evil, and out to get them. However ... one pony, Sunny, believes that all the pony races can get together again.
Sunny's new friends -- Izzy, a unicorn; and Pegasi Zipp and Pipp -- plus a fellow Earth pony, Hitch, discover that magic has left the world of Equestria -- Unicorns cannot levitate, Pegasi cannot fly ... so the group embarks on a quest to bring magic back to Equestria, and unite the three Pony races again!
I highly recommend this film for adults and children alike.
My Little Pony: A New Generation premieres on Netflix on Friday, Sept. 24, 2021.
