    One of my favorites as a kid

    I used to LOVE this movie growing up, used to make my parents rent it at the video store as much as possible... not sure why we didn't just buy it or tape it. :) Its older, but a classic, not sure what it was about this movie but I thought it was great, very entertaining. It doesn't have the bright colors and large, vivid shapes that the new shows have now, so kids these days may not like it as much, I am not sure. We have a 1-year-old, she really likes the new Disney shows, not the old cartoons such as this one, Bugs Bunny, Jetsons, etc. Too bad for the younger generation, they don't know what they're missing! Thanks!

    A must see movie for MLP fans

    If you're a My Little Pony fan,then I'm sure you will love this movie. Even though I'm 17,I class this movie as one of my favourites.Okay so some of the songs are annoying and sometimes its a bit slow in places but if you can get past that its a really cute little movie that any MLP collector or fan can enjoy.

    Not Bad At All...

    A pleasant story. Lots of soft, pastel colors. Smiley Happy Ponies, laughing.

    The Ultimate Excursion in 80's cutesy cartoons

    By far one of the most sickeningly cute movies of all time. I grew up as a child of the 80's so naturally this was just one of the such films I was subject to as a child. Looking back after all these years, I was surprised to see the all star cast that made up the ensemble.

    Basically the story involves a group of ponies who have to fight off three witches plans to flood their valley with something called a Smooze. I don't know what it all means, but I remember that my sister made me sit through this one as well as all the Care Bear movies.

    If you've never even heard of "My Little Pony", then don't even try to watch this film. You had to actually experience it when it first came out to understand everyone's fascination with it. But still, I'll give it 6 stars since at least there's nothing truly wrong with it and the fact that it's marginally better then all the crap it spawned.

    Bad movie, great trip down memory lane

    Back when I was six I dragged my poor Mom to see this in the theaters. I LOVED it! When I got older I watched it every time it was on the Disney channel. Now that I'm in college I still watch it every once in a while. Is it a bad movie? You better believe it. Is it great 80's nostalgia? You better believe it! I think out of the many 80's cartoon/toy lines that made it to theaters this is actually one of the better efforts. It's held up better over time than say, the Care Bear movies. Oh course being a little girl who loved ponies and horses it's no brainer why I thought this was one of the greatest movies ever when I was six. I still watch it now for a trip down memory lane.

    • Trivia
      The movie became a critical and financial bomb during its theatrical run, grossing only an estimated $6 million worldwide against a budget of $5.5 million. Combined with the failure of The Transformers: The Movie (1986), this convinced the studio to cancel the theatrical animated movie Jem and the Holograms, while G.I. Joe: The Movie (1987) was pushed direct to video.
    • Goofs
      The group who set out for Flutter Valley are chased by Ahhg the giant spider after tickling him and slipping away unnoticed. As they make a dash towards a nearby cliff, Gingerbread and Baby Lickety Split have somehow joined the group, but Baby Lickety Split should be with the Grundles and Spike, and Gingerbread should be back at Paradise Estate.
