I wouldn't really argue with that. I suppose I can defend this practice on the grounds that it's better than trailers that give away too much and remove all surprise from a film, but that's pretty faint praise.




I enjoyed it for what it was... The songs were catchy, the characters are always fun, and there were some clever bits and fun nods to fan favorites. Sunset Shimmer gained a legion of new fans thanks to it, understandably.

I've heard there's an error with the (American, at least) version of the DVD which causes some chapters to play out of order depending on whether you start the film from the main menu or the chapter menu or something. I watched it on television, so I'm not really sure personally. Just a head's up if it's an issue for you over there.

I'm curious to hear more about the announced 2017 theatical pony film... I know it's Mane Six based, but that's all I've heard so far.
