My little Pony - Eine neue Generation

Thoroughly enjoyable addition to the franchise with new characters and a new look.

Its narrative of ethnic tensions and prejudice is not only on brand, it provides an agreeable message that I dare say is still somewhat relevant in a way that's not as sanctimonious or pandering as things usually are lately.

The characters are delightful even if they are familiar types. I did notice that the protagonist undergoes very little character development and somewhat like a Miyazaki protagonist basically gets to enjoy and adventure of being proven right.

But it's still a vibrant and engaging story that doesn't really feel fresh enough to be a theatrical release but it enjoyable for any fan of the franchise even if they haven't seen the whole of the FiM era yet.
