    While I agree that Fluttershy didn't get enough lines or screentime, she delivered the two jokes that made me laugh the hardest. "You'll be scarred.." *Rarity gasps* "...emotionally" *Futtershy gasps* , and the scene where she has a therapy session with one of the henchmen. I don't expect a lot of humor to come out of Fluttershy, so I thought those two bits were pretty well-done.

    I actually want this movie to do really well...but for the opposite reason. I believe that if the movie is a success, it might influence larger animation companies to do 2D animated films again. I would like to see them return to theaters. Of course it is a huge "what if" scenario, so I won't be too optimistic. But I think that it can show that 2D animated movies can still be successful. As far as I know, the closest thing we're getting to a 2D animated movie is the second Enchanted film. So that could also have an influence on the traditional department.

      There are several 2D animated wide-releases planned actually, the Teen Titans Go movie next year, the third SpongeBob movie, the Loud House movie and the recently announced Bob's Burgers movie

      i think they mean more of "hey i want Disney, DreamWorks, Pixar, and Laika to make big budget threatrical animated films again" and not just these films based on TV shows

    • @truthhopelove
      @truthhopelove 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Pixar's bread and butter has always been the 3D stuff, and, as far as I know, Laika only does stop motion.

    I personally really enjoyed the movie in spite of its flaw. It had problems, but it was a fun adventure through and through. _Most_ of the cast were relevant enough, Dash, Spike, Rarity and Pinkie all got their fun in the sun, but AJ and Fluttershy didn't really do much.

    • @William_Millar
      @William_Millar 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Was the most schizophrenic character Discord in it? Like season 1:he’s a statue. Season 2:main villain. Season 3:with one of the garbage pun 6, like really? Mane Six? W o w. Season 4:villains sidekick for a millisecond, then good guy. I don’t know what happens after? Maybe he dies? Maybe he just goes bye bye? Maybe he just stays as a sorta hero?

      How far have twilight teleported in the past? Or how when she accidentally teleported her self and spike when over ran with ponies who wanted her extra ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala? Ya, it has it limits but it they would not be a problem. Even a teleport a few feet away would have helped a ton at points.

    • @adolfodef
      @adolfodef 7 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      They had to keep the extent of her powers limited for The Movie to make sense in certain scenes (also, this story was made on Season 4, when she was still "learning how to control her alicorn magic").
      -> They show the "top normal" level of telekinesis of Rarity in the decoration scene; then Twilight´s quick craftmanship and multitasking on the baloon assembly scene.
      Also, it is not the same teleporting under stress (or while doing something else), than standing still and with no impending danger around.
      -> The maximum distance Twilight teleported herself and a few others (while running away from dragons), was in Season 2 (as a unicorn) and it took her two attempts and about 10 seconds [the distance is unclear, but likely on the sub-mile range and without any accuraccy on destination].

    "What is it with little girl's media and friendship anyway?"
    Answer: Statistically, women tend to have stronger social interaction and cooperation skills than men. Toy companies like statistics and studies that they can gear toward a large demographic to sell stuff. This is why we have "boy's toys" and "girls toys."

Well they still didn't explain what happened to them, but that's understandable considering the show's main target audience and the show's nature. The show gave hints here and there and kept fans guessing where the parents really are. And then they dedicated a whole episode for them out of nowhere.

      I dunno. I think the 7th finale could have been way better if it was set up properly like season 4. I know they did set it up with the campfire stories and whatnot, but I think the quests to acquire the mcguffins should have been longer than one episode.

    • @dionysos46
      @dionysos46 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      If MLP was an anime, the S7 finale would have be extended to a movie for japanese theaters release. It's great, but too short to demonstrate Pony of Shadows malevolence as a Super-Sombra.

    @PaleoSteno 7 ปีที่แล้ว +409

    Really? You liked the Taye Diggs and Sia song the best? Weird, I thought those were the weakest as far as composition goes. The other songs just felt bigger and more alive.
    Also, you can't confidently put it above Despicable Me 3? Mmmm... watch DM3 again and then tell me. That movie is just... ugggggggggh.
    Maybe it's because I'm not quite as analytical as others when it comes to reviewing movies, but I really enjoyed the songs, the animation (especially some of the faces Pinkie and Twilight had throughout), and the arc, though I do agree the execution could be better. I read the prequel comics and they're okay, but I think with a bit more fine tuning the movie could have been something really great.

    I'm not a follower of the show, never was interested in it especially after being surrounded by so many rabid bronies over the years, but I did check the film out since I know a few people who worked on it and I thought the animation looked alright. As a person who doesn't care for the ponies franchises at all....I didn't think it was that bad funny enough. So I can say with confidence that parents who have to go with their kids to it won't be driven to insanity like they might be with other kids movies out there (ahem emoji movie) the songs may have been a bit generic but they weren't annoying, Sia's song was nice, pinkie pie didn't want to make me impale her on a flagpole for once (I may not be a fan but I have had plenty of exposure to pinkie pie...not just G4 pinkie pie...) And despite it's slowness, the animation was still really impressive

    Seriously? The first few episodes you recommend rely on build up from the past seasons, and even the fandom in one instance?
    Lesson zero is a good starting point because it's early in the series, but anyone who watches those episodes you recommended first are going to wonder
    Why the purple one has wings now, but not earlier
    Why said purple one is only one of five with wings and a horn
    What a cutie mark is
    What the cutie mark crusaders are
    what a cutecinera is
    Actually, just everything from that episode
    What Daring do is,
    Why the Rainbow one likes it so much
    Why her, and the book character know eachother
    Why the book character is real
    Why we should care about these characters learning about their parents, If we don't have the build up of at least a few episodes to know them, it doesn't work.
    For a first episode, I'd recommend:
    Dragonshy
    Swarm of the century
    Winter Wrap up
    All of these are a great starting point for the series, because they establish Twilight as the main character, all include her friends, and some great showcases of those characters, and they're all great episodes.

    Your actually very tame in this review. The two things that really ruined it for me was 1 why couldn't they get help from established allies or at least TRIED to go to other allies first before going to the Hippogriffs such as The Changelings, The Dragons, The Yak's, I understand why discord, Hell they could have even had Starlight deal with them but they didn't. They didn't use any ally at their disposal first.
    The second Being her whole motivation for Tempest being the Villain is "I don't wan't to be an Earth Pony" She wanted her horn back despite still being able to use magic, sure it was unstable but she seemed to own it and used it well. She could have trained more on using what she has instead of chasing down what she had.

    • @sasamichan
      @sasamichan 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Avatar TLA and Korra still had a greater number of action scenes as well as feeling more balanced. Not targeted to any one gender. Adventure time also has a lot of moments where Fin strait up kills a thing. I did notice Finn struggling to kill a monster after the death of Fern . I know in Star Trek we see friendship and diplomacy in use a lot. Kirk said a few times that its Spock and McCoy's friendship that saved him and that he values. Picard was good at diplomacy too. but a lot of shows like TMNT, Thundercats, He-Man, Batman are more aggressive. Yes Spider-Man and others do have there moments of pro-friendship but mostly they do go the way of violence. or in the case of say Smurfs , the shows targeted at both genders. where as some thing like care bears or littlest pet shop doesn't have a reputation for being violent. Come to think of it Miraculous Ladybug and DC Superhero Girls High both do good jobs of showing a show targeted to girls where the female heroes use there physical attacks quite a lot. I suppose we both have examples of either side.

    • @sasamichan
      @sasamichan 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Anime is culturally different form American cartoons so its hard to compare. I know I said Sailor moon and could easily call DBZ a male targeted show leaning heavily on violence and the counter with Pokémon and Digimon being more in tune with feelings while still being violent as well, but there's some thing about anime when it gets adapted to American that things get changed around. Even my "Love and friendship" quote for Sailor moon was how the advertisers wanted the toys to be perceived. I have no clue if the actual series ever used that quote. So perhaps this topic is more on the toys then the series.
      Come to think of it I hardly ever see a girls toy with the ability to shoot projectiles or a boys toy with the ability to do its hair and make up, change its cloths and accessorize it.

    • @mayborneflower
      @mayborneflower 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      There's love and friendship in most things Sailor Moon. Though the usual response to evil is ultimately violence. And if not by fire, water/ice, wood/lightning, metal/light, time, ocean, wind, or making the entire galaxy self-destruct, it's usually combining powers in friendship or love that horrifically kills evil. Like how the love between Super Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask melted an ancient evil moon queen's face off in the manga. Or how everyone besides Saturn combined powers to wreck a living galaxy trying to eat the Earth so badly from the inside out that he was crippled into paralysis, yanked out of the Earth and stranded in orbit, and left begging to return to his home so he could DIE OVER THERE instead in the modern musicals (FYI, Saturn did that in the manga and Crystal anime completely on her own). Overall, Sailor Moon is kinda hardcore.

    (1:51) Ah, but it WAS mentioned in the actual series. And not just in a one-time, brief throwaway acknowledgement; the events of the movie actually permanently effected the entire world of the show, and was the basis for the beginning of the entire arc of the eight season. In one episode they even go back to Mt. Eris: the entire episode focuses on the the newly freed hippogriffs, with the conflict revolving around how some of the hippogriffs (now that they'd been freed and no longer need to hide) don't want to revert back to their old forms or leave the water, and instead want to remain in their aquatic forms and continue to live in the ocean. But I was really surprised by this as well, and had also initially been sure the movie would be a non-canon, self-contained adventure. But nope, the entire movie is 100% series canon. I thought it was awesome how much the movie bled over into the show, such a nice change

So many animated films this year like DM3, Cars 3, and Batman & Harley Quinn didn't know what they wanted to do, and yet, the MLP Movie, is the one that had the most consistent tone.
    I think you were a bit nit picky, but your criticisms towards the animation not gelling well with CGI is on point and Storm King definitely needed more to do or time on screen. I think it's way better than DM3 since DM3 doesn't have infuriating wasted potential.

    ***SPOILERS*** I was actually very surprised by this movie for two reasons....one was Twilight's character arc. Not that she's an over-achieving perfectionist who wanted everything to be perfect....I expected that. Not that she relies too much on the other Princesses magic and not enough in herself....I expected that too and I think that's why they were taken out so early in the movie. This had to be Twilight's journey and she had to face it without the help of her fellow Princesses. No, my surprise came AFTER that....Yes, she is indeed a Princess, but I felt like Twilight's role as the Princess of Friendship was challenged more in this movie than say in the Tirek episode, because we saw a different side of her....one that didn't TRUST HER FRIENDS AT ALL. When Tempest removed the other three Princesses from the game, Twilight feels she is essentially left completely on her own to fix the problem and that terrifies her. She's not in control anymore and she feels like the fate of Equestria is on her slim purple shoulders. Rather than trusting her friends to help her through the problem this time, every single time she has an opportunity to act, she tries to fix it herself (which fails) and then she gets really angry at her friends and abandons them (which completely shocked me) and it isn't until she realizes where her true power lies that she's able to come into her own as a Princess. I do agree with you that Tempest is one of the best villains we have seen on the show thus far. I really liked her motivation and I feel like I would have liked the movie MORE had she been the primary villain and didn't have to share the limelight with the so-called "Storm King" who wasn't threatening at all. As soon as I saw him I knew she was just a pawn to be manipulated. The animation actually surprised me in how creative the new worlds were and I did like the cat character.

    Just a note, Idk how much of this will come back in the future but the movie is confirmed canon with the series, supposedly takes place between seasons 7 and 8, and will have at least some things from the movie actually appear in the show.
    So there is that.
    I will be sad if we don't see Fizzlepop Berrytwist in season 8. XD

    I wish they hadn't 'updated' the animation. It would have been much better to use the style and program they were used to and just polished it to perfection. It would have been interesting to see the time and money wasted on trying to fix something that wasn't broken allocated to other areas. The movie probably would have had far fewer weaknesses. It comes off feeling like it has first episode weirdness.

    I liked it- but also I agree w u, it coulda done better, but at the same time I get that well, it expected the parents to be there along side the kids, and there might be new ppl, so it makes sense.
    But if they make a 2nd movie, I rly hope they give Discord and Fluttershy more limelight? :-3
    idc as a couple or not (/maybe a lil tho) but just more air time??

  • @StopChangingMyNameYoutube1

    That sounds about right. I put the movie at a 7/10 as a fan of the show. I was frankly expecting it to be a lot worse than it was, so I was pleasantly surprised. As for criticisms, in universe the Storm King just was not a big enough villain. The only reason that he even got as far as he did is because of the main six conveniently forgetting that they are allied with an entire legion of Dragons and Changelings who would gladly take up arms for them at a moments notice. Yes you need the new toys and celebrity cameos, but it's a pretty glaring oversight that they didn't even try to explain why they didn't go to their nearby allies for aid first.

    I understand why one wouldn't want this to succeed, but with the death of the 2D animation studio at Disney, and with us getting NOTHING since that Winnie the Pooh movie, I REALLY want this movie to do well enough to get this animation style brought back. I HATE seeing EVERY animated movie in the CGI style. I mean, don't get me wrong. I don't hate all CGI movies, but other than How to Train Your Dragon 1&2, Zootopia, and a few Pixar movies(they're not gods, folks, deal with it), I can't think of a SINGLE movie in CGI that has left a truly lasting impression on me. The ones that really stick with me were mostly done in a time when we were still getting at least ONE 2D animated film a year...And since then, the animated films that really made me "ooh" and "ahh" at the animation ALONE were claymation. There's a sense of heart and passion in big-screen 2D animation that I just don't feel anymore...And I know this is silly, but the MLP movie actually made me well up a bit just for that reason. I haven't felt that much love and heart in an animated feature since Para-Norman...I know full well that it takes a LOT of hard work to make a CGI film, but it doesn't make me FEEL that in the same way 2D and stop-motion animation does. I know Laika has the occasional movie, but it's not enough to sate my need for that kind of feeling. I know all of this may sound "art-snobbish" or something, but it's just how I feel. I am so tired of animation in movies leaving me feeling...I don't know...hollow? It's not really the right word, but it's the only thing that I can think of to describe it. It just feels like something BIG is missing from animated movies these days...

    Actually this movie is being acknowledged by the series itself, yes I know you probably didn't see that coming because you made this video before the next season started, but my guess is this movie was so successful for Hasbro that they had to make sure everyone knew it was cannon with the tv series

    At least in the movie it felt like half of the characters were MAIN characters that were needed for their own character and not just characters that were there so Twilight had friends.
    I really missed the individual boost Twilight friends had in season 1-4. It really just got more and more about Twilight after season 5

    Compared this to the 1986 G1 original movie, the original 1986 version wasn’t a bad movie, but it was a cute little movie, but this one take it to a whole new level. This beats the original 1986 by a nose.

    Now that I think about it where was Shining Armor and Flurry heart. The spell was that they needed 4 alicorns right. Why didn't they go after Flurry Heart and steal her magic. And why couldn't Shining Armors shield spell keep out the storm Kings men like it did with the changelings.

  • @calliope8048
    @calliope8048 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Honestly, they messed up Fluttershy's character as well. She takes care of animals, and some of her jokes were based on her being afraid of animals.
    "Lions, and tigers, and bears." "Oh my..." Buddy. She tamed a Manticore in the first 2 parter of the series. Couldn't Rarity have said it?
    And the scene where she's afraid of the bats in Capper's song?
    Or when she makes fun of Pinkie for being rambunctious?
    In conclusion; Not my Fluttershy.
