When you think of the My Little Pony franchise very rarely do you also think of the words Christmas Special. Well that's now what we've just been given since for some strange reason Netflix chose to release this special near the middle of November and not in December and so then join me as I review the special that nobody really asked for or that nobody really needed with the special in question being called simply just "My Little Pony: Winter Wishday" enjoy.
The plot of this special is Sunny wants to spend the holidays with her friends but her friends all have other plans and so then the friends all decide to do everything together. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty OK at best since it was a very cute story but it also had no stakes either which is what a goo story should always have in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this special is of course Jenna Warren as Sunny Starscout and Turning Red star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Zipp Storm. Also starring in this special is JJ Gerber as Hitch Trailblazer , My Little Pony: Pony Life star Ana Sani as Izzy Moonbow , AJ Bridel as Pipp Petals , Rob Tinkler as Sparky Sparkeroni , Elley Ray Hennessy as Grandma Figgy , Amanda Martinez as Queen Haven and Andrew Jackson as Alphabittle Blossomforth.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad. With all of this specials cast turning in OK performances however what lets the acting down is the script which gives this specials cast absolutely nothing to work with interms of their characters and their characters personalities apart from the mane five characters that is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Try as I might but I cannot find out who did the actual animation for this special which is a good thing considering what i'm about to say. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty pretty bad with this special looking very nice but all of the characters just look dead on the inside in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
What really made me confused because they never explain why they changed this in the special but they already had there own version of Christmas called Hearth's Warming. So it makes no sense as to why they suddenly created Winter Wishday since both holidays have the exact same purpose and so I have to wonder why they replaced Hearth's Warming with this cheap knock off since it just seems like some really lazy screenwriting to me in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
While this special is sure to please little kids there's nothing really to this special since it's just the same old thing that you could find in literally any other Christmas special. This is a huge red flag for me personally since this franchise has always tried out new things and while yes it has relayed on tried and true story beats in the past those are in the minority and are not the majority and so it's sad to ee the franchise in this state in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
You could just straight up predict that the plane that the friends travel in is going to be a toy even tho narratively it doesn't make sense since more then half of them can fly anyways. Which just made the inclusion of this plane seem even more like obvious product placement since like I said it doesn't make narrative sense for this plane to be there and so I think that the makers of this special should have den a better job of explaining why the friends needs to use this plane in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty five minuets and thirteen seconds. Which for a kids animated Christmas TV special is a tad bit on the long side since those kids of specials are usually no longer then thirty minuets which would have suited this special alot better since this special doesn't really have alot there interms of either plot or story in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then sine this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad. With Izzy once again getting alot of this specials best jokes which is a shame because then all that we are left with is some pretty jokes being told by characters that just really aren't that funny in the first place in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall while this special is perfectly harmless for it's little kid auidence that doesn't make it a good special since even this specials songs are pretty bad and for a musical comedy that's a pretty bad thing indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very special in this review and as such that means that this very special erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official MY Little Pony Generation Five fandom wiki page , the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from this actual freaking episode being the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page this is simply because the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page actually has a wide varitity of images from this actual freaking episode all of which are currently featured / up and on the official My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fandom wiki page right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.
