My Little Pony: Make Your Mark

I liked the movie so much. But what the hell is this? The characters are not what they used to be. The animation is bad. Let's hope this gets better...

Not sure why the reviews are so bad. But it could be because a bunch of adults are rating a show catered to kids. My 9 year old daughter loves the show, the graphics, and especially all the color combos of the ponies. She watches it and keep pausing it to show me certain scenes. She noticed all the characters from the movie that was released and their stories. The story lines were well thought out from the scenes she had me watch, let alone there were a lot of funny scenes. Again, it's a perfect show for kids. So it's a 8/10 from my daughter. Good job Netflix for creating yet another good show for KIDS to enjoy!

-THE ANIMATION-

MYM is considerably less polished than the MLP:ANG movie (therefore I rated it 8/10 instead of 9/10 stars). However, the animation and plot are great considering this is a show produced for Netflix! It is superior in terms of animation quality and voice acting compared to many of the 3D kid's shows out there.

-THE PLOT-

The ponies have to figure out how to live in a world with magic. But it is not all fun and rainbows for the ponies, because change can be hard... Even if the change is for the better.

Moreover, not everypony has good intentions...

(*coughs* BAD pony alert!)

It's got a lot to uphold being the successor to Friendship is Magic. The animation for the series was never going to be as pretty as the movie, it's not the best but it's also not terrible.

There are a few aspects of the series which bother me, particularly the over-use of mobile phones by Pipp. (I feel like this will be a part of her character development however). A few of the songs have felt a forced/unnecessary and there have been moments where it has felt very childish.

However, it IS a kids show. The characters are cute and likable. I'm curious to see where the story goes and there have been a few moments that have given me that warm fuzzy feeling. So far, I have really enjoyed the new series. I'm excited to see what the future holds for My Little Pony.

G4 of MLP was heartfelt, funny, and it had an actual story. G5, however, is fast-paced, hollow, and I still have yet to figure out the plot. Zipp is the only good character, but only in the movie. And I can't even with the animation. Like, they had a perfect formula, but all that went out the window with Make your Mark and ESSPECIALLY Tell your Tale, which isn't even 3D. Side note, what are these names? They sound like human names, and Izzy is just recycled Pinkie Pie. These names have no actual meaning and the characters, except for Zipp, mean nothing to me. Also, why are their names spelled with two p's and not just one? G5 did not do G4 justice.
