My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Forgotten Friendship Review

Pony fans when I woke up this morning I had no idea that by the evening i'd be here writing up a review on the newest Equestria Girls special so here is my review of My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Forgotten Friendship.

As far as I can tell the special is an adaptation of the book A Friendship To Remember by Perdita Finn and just going of the MLP Wikia the special does seem to be really faithful to the book. The plot is someone steals the memories of Twilight , Applejack and the rest of the gang apart from Sunset Shimmer so it's up to her to find out who did it and get her friends back. I'll admit I knew who the villain was from about the half way mark it's not a good mystery at all but the story it self is pretty solid.

The film stars the great Tara Strong , Rebecca Shoichet , Ashleigh Ball , Tabitha St. Germain , Andrea Libman , Cathy Weseluck and Kathleen Barr. In all honesty there's not much I can say about the acting since these actors have been playing there characters since 2010 so of course they are going to know how best to play there respective characters and thus all of the actors do a solid job and it is nice to hear new dialog from these characters since we are nearly a month out before the season 8 premier.

I will say that unlike Magical Movie Night which was just the Equestria Girls TV series sold as a movie there is one plot this time around and the animation for a TV special isn't that bad but the issue I have with the animation is this is following the movie which had better animation so anything that came out after that is going to look cheap by comparison but with all of that said it is not see the familiar animation style of the show.

The best word I can use to describe this special is cute and in all honesty I think that's the best word to use this spin off franchise it's cute nothing more and nothing less altho it does make me wish that this spin off franchise was canon just because it would present more story telling possibilities but i'd fully understand if any of you pony fans didn't like that.

There's a few good jokes in the special I personally laughed at lot at Twilight for spoiler reasons i'm not going to reveal which version of her but if you've seen this special then you'll understand why I thought that there were alot of scenes in this special with Twilight that were so in character they made me laugh and for some reason this spin off franchise is now meta because they make a lot of meta jokes and they are all really funny.

Honestly at this point with the Equestria Girls franchise I do wish they'd try something different which I know they are doing with the toy line but i'm talking more about the films and specials just because after a while they all start to blur into one and they all start to feel like they are the same thing and not a different film or special.

Overall if your into MLP or if you know someone who is into this franchise then they might like it but at the same time even if you are into MLP you'll see nothing new here and you'll know where the story is heading and who the villain is so with all of that in mind and bearing in mind this is more aimed for little girls because heaven forbid the guys get something aimed at them in this franchise I give this special a 5 out of 10.

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls Review

Hello pony fans i thought that i would review something a little bit different since the past few days have been filled with doom and gloom so what else better then to talk about My Little Pony: Equestria Girls let's get it on.

The plot of this movie basically is Twilight get's sent to our earth to retrieve her crown which has been stolen and must do so before a magical doorway closes. In terms of plot that's really all you get and i think that's really all you need altho with that being said the plot does have a few problems like for the fact that for insert BS reason here Twilight's friends aren't aloud to come with her even tho all six of them would work better then just the one.

The film stars all of the stars from the show Tara Strong (my bae) , Ashleigh Ball , Andrea Libman and Tabitha St. Germain in terms of voice acting i'd say that they all do a great job i mean at this point they would have been playing the characters for three years so i can't really say much when it comes to the acting in this film but what i can say however is that Pinkie Pie is best character in this movie everything she says or does is gold.

Now another problem i have with the movie is with Sunset shimmer she orders her lacky's to destroy the gym where there going to be holding this dance and then i few scenes later says that they shouldn't have destroyed it WTF that is some BS reason right there if she didn't want the gym destroyed then she shouldn't have ordered them to destroy it it's that simple.

I know that when this film first came out people didn't like the character designs i personally like them there's enough of the original design so kids will not get confused but enough new things to make them standout and i liked the fact that all of the characters have their cutie marks somewhere on them all the time that was a nice little touch that the filmmakers didn't have to do but i'm glad that they did i can't really talk about the animation since it's the same as the show but for this movie it's fine.

I liked the fact that each of the human counterparts for our main heroes had hobbies like there pony counterparts i thought that was a nice little touch and i'm glad that the filmmakers added that as it also gave the human characters some personality but tho why go through the trouble of turning everyone human and yet have them keep there pony names that to me doesn't make sense at all.

Wow the songs in this film they are just bad there just the typical kiddie pop songs that's in every kids movie and every kids TV show and not one of them is good and i hated the fact that they chose to do a bad dubstep version of the shows opening theme song when will filmmakers learn that most dubstep is bad. The music tho that wasn't that bad it just wasn't good either it was the kind of thing that you expect from My Little Pony.

Overall if your a fan of this franchise then i'd say check it out since there's a few cool cameos but if your not a fan of the franchise then i'd say avoid it but for me this movie is a 6 out of 10
