Okay this might require a bit more of a setup than usual. Back in October 2017 the My Little Pony movie released in theatres. Of course, as a pony, I'm a big fan of the series, so we certainly wanted to see the movie on the big screen. We did not rush to see it opening night and waited until the following Tuesday, when the local theatre has $5 tickets.
Well it turns out that nopony else had the same idea. At all. And this wound up being one of the most enjoyable movie experiences ever, as we got our own private screening of the movie! How ironic that we wind up seeing a movie about friendship alone?
The first thing we did was shout "Anypony mind if we use our phone!" as my friend called his brother. After a very short conversation, we did not want to talk through the whole movie, we contemplated taking blog pictures DURING the movie! What fun could have been had in that!?
Now that the Blu-Ray home version has been purchased, we can now give a suitable review of the movie like we could have given back when it released. Instead taking pictures of our TV screen instead of a movie screen. So enjoy the review!
Here's the poster at the theater back in October. The short review is that the movie was plenty good. Let's not pretend that a My Little Pony movie would be a contender for Best Movie EVER, but it was full of all the songs and friendship lessons you would expect it to have. It was noticed and appreciated that they used the voice actors from the TV show instead of trying to re-cast with popular celebrities. Because to MLP fans, the "real" voices are celebrities!
