The animation is gorgeous, I wish more 2D films were being made. The story however is pointless. It holds no connection to the show, the events of this film are never mentioned again, despite there being several seasons after. Daniel Ingram's songs are toetapping, but that's par for the course, he's very good at what he does. Ashleigh Ball and Andrea Libman are the only voice actors who sound like they're actually into the story.
The screenplay is bad. The story really has no structure, the ponies just go place to place and then back to the starting point and then the movie's over, and we never see the new characters again.
