I really liked it, maybe a bit more than I thought that I would. At first it took me a bit to get used to the newer animation style, especially with Twilight Sparkle. She bothered me the most for the longest time. The music was good, but I thought there were too many songs. I loved Tempest, the pirate birds, and the cat (can't remember his name). I really think that the hippogriff/sea ponies could have been incorporated a little more. So much hype, with the toys and everything, and they were barely involved. I liked Songbird Serenade, but wish she did not have her bangs in her eyes. Seriously, nobody can see like that (Rainbow Dash voice)! There were so many background ponies! I wanted to be able to pause the first 5-10 minutes so I could see them all better. Overall, a good film.
