All nostalgic value aside, this movie is just bad.
One, the 1980s wasn't a good time for cartoons in general, especially for MLP. The "stories" are weak and were honestly just a way for the creatures to make a quick buck and a way for parents to just keep the kids out of their hair for an hour and a half.
Two, Unlike now, MLP didn't give any of the characters a personality. They were all just cardboard cutouts to fill (you guessed it) an episode on a Saturday morning cartoon with a basic lesson for 2- 6 year olds like "don't be selfish" and "friendship is great".
Three The movie has horrible songs like "can't stop the smooze" and the voice acting is also horrible. And to be frank, the only reason I liked this was because of the colors and glittery look of the ponies...when I was 6. A movie like this just doesn't hold up and any level. And in 2015, there are A LOT more better choices for kids compared to the tripe back then.
