I admit, I actually have a soft spot for My Little Pony, as it was part of my childhood. Of the My Little Pony movies, which I still find cute and likable even with some corniness, The Princess Promenade is one of the best. I loved the simplicity of the story, yet it wasn't structurally thin like some simple stories can fall into the trap of being. The tone was also gentle and charming. The animation is full of colour and vibrancy, and the backgrounds are fluid. I also liked the songs, they bounce along nicely, are full of appealing whimsy and are easy to remember(the singing is also decent, not too screechy or out-of-tune), while the writing has some funny moments and a lot of heart. The characters have interesting personalities and are still engaging. The voice work is dynamic and not too cutesy. Overall, I personally loved it, one of the best of the My Little Pony movies, and despite the perhaps understandable scepticism of some they are worth watching. 10/10 Bethany Cox

I began to watch this movie with a skeptical mind after seeing all the positive (to say the least) reviews, thinking they were some sort of elaborate joke. However, after the opening scenes, I immediately fell victim to the beauty and seamless art form presented by Dal Chele. Even though Wysteria was a pony, I instantly connected with her on the deepest, most human levels. I oft forgot that she, nay, any of the characters were ponies at all. All I saw in their complex, colorful forms was excellence, depth, and pure emotion.Truly, Jeanne Romano and Dal Chele alike are Michelangelos in our modern era. The Princess promenade is the magnum opus that will define their careers as director and writer. The actors were cast perfectly, and never once failed in communicating the profound profiles that defined these ever wonderfully crafted ponies. The divinely talented cast, crew, and creators of this film have certainly raised the bar for future cinema and may re-define the world of fiction. I do not exaggerate in saying that I believe this piece of visual poetry will help bring us forth into a new age of art and storytelling, even if it is a mere stepping stone upward into a 21st century Renaissance. However, the biggest way this film affected me was in its ability to truly inspire! I have been trying to write a novel over the past several years, but seem to fall short time and time again, both in content and motivation. After seeing The Princess Promenade, I now understand what it means to create art, to bear forth a fiction that can feel more real to than our own very lives! More importantly, I have since seeing this quit drinking, having found that the true substance life can be found not in a bottle, but all around us, and in our own selves. Also, after watching it again with my wife, was able to re-establish the love in our relationship. Thank you, Wysteria. Thank you.

After reviewing the reviews in the review section, I have decided to put my words where my mouth is (is that the right saying?who knows) and give it a go, this film is what we as a group of equestrian philanthropists have been waiting for, to say this is magical would be the repetition of the views of many, as we say in Glasgow, it is 'pure toilet'. I speak for the group of 20 of us who have now watched this movie three times together before we go to our dance competitions in the Burrell room, and I mean it when I say, crash bang wallop, what a video! Whether you are old, young, ugly, a hand model or even trans-gender, you will love this movie, give it a chance, you will not regret it.Lots of sparkle, Glatas

WOW.I don't know what to say. I thought the world devoid of objective meaning, but this movie has changed my life forever. The closest thing to a religious experience I have ever encountered - I will never look at a pony the same way again. Absolutely engrossing, enlightening stuff - as each plot point develops, its counterpoint is waiting in the wings to constantly expound and almost critique itself. Mark my words, we will see great things from this director!I am literally sitting here typing this in a pile of my own poop as I couldn't bear to tear myself away from this masterpiece for even a second. I didn't want it to end, I laughed, I cried, I got a bit over-excited. I'm off to clean up...
