More Detail:
MY LITTLE PONY: THE MOVIE takes viewers on a magical adventure beyond the land of Equestria, after the home of the ponies, Ponyland, is threatened by an evil leader named the Storm King.
The Storm King needs to capture the four princesses of Equestria in order to possess their power and become the ruler of the land. Three princesses are taken right before the major Friendship Festival, but Princess Twilight manages to escape with some of her friends. She overheard one of the princesses say they needed to go to see Queen Novo to get her help. Princess Twilight knows that this is now her mission: to find Queen Novo and save her fellow princesses, as well as restore peace to her home of Equestria. Throughout this great adventure, her and her friends encounter many characters along the way, including a swindling fox, pirates who have lost their mojo and a young, lonely girl just eager to have someone to befriend.
After many hardships and roadblocks along the way, Princess Twilight and her friends finally make it to the top of the mountain where the Queen lives, only to find it completely deserted. When they’re sucked into a pool nearby, they begin to believe all is lost until they find a new underwater friend who takes them to the Queen.
The entire population has relocated underwater in order to escape the Storm King after he attempted to wipe them out. They find that Queen Novo is in possession of a pearl that would help “every pony” in Equestria live. However, when she’s unwilling to relinquish the pearl to Princess Twilight, Twilight takes it upon herself to attempt to steal the pearl in order to save her home. Because of this act of treason, they are banished from the underwater dwelling with very little hope left of saving Equestria. Princess Twilight and her friends have to rally together, bringing every ounce of magic they have left, in order to continue their mission and save the princesses and the land of Equestria.
MY LITTLE PONY: THE MOVIE is peppered with fun, energetic songs sung by fantastic actors such as Kristen Chenoweth, Emily Blunt and Uzo Aduba. This movie is enjoyable and has something to offer for an audience of all ages, with witty jokes and catchy lines. This movie centers around the value of friendship and love above all else. When the actual magic fails the ponies, love, friendship and sacrifice is there to help them. Dominated by a positive Christian, moral worldview, MY LITTLE PONY ultimately expresses the idea that enemies can be friends if shown mercy, and that there’s no greater love than sacrificing one’s life for another. Parents should discuss these themes with their younger children if they decide to let them see this movie.
