Synopsis:

Along the way, the Mane 6 meet new friends and face exciting challenges as they travel beyond Equestria to defeat the evil Storm King and his minion unicorn -- Tempest Shadow.
Okay so I know I am not a child but watching anime's and cartoons were a huge part in my life growing up so although I may have grown up on the outside my insides are still a child. I also can't wait for my baby to be born and grow up (if its not born by the time this post is scheduled) to the age where they understand what they see so I can introduce them to a world full of cartoons. I am aware that young children are fond of watching that anyways, I used to have sit and watch programmes like Mr Tumble and In the Night Garden with my niece which would put me to asleep but she loved to watch them 😴😴😴.
I am an avid watcher of My Little Pony ever since it first aired on tv and I am not ashamed to admit that I watched all 7 seasons and I am eagerly awaiting season 8 (come March already). So I know Twilight Sparkle and her friends, I also love the fact that Twilight Sparkle loves to read and is a bookworm by heart so the fact I get to mix my two favourite hobbies in one is absolute a dream come true. Twilight Sparkle resonates with me.
I thought this movie would be totally different to the seasons (you know how it is sometimes with cartoons) but it wasn't like that. I felt like I was watching an hour length episode which made it hard to like the movie. Just like in the series, Twilight and her friends are organising and preparing for a festival that will take place in Canterlot, since Twilight is a bit of a perfectionist she likes to make sure everything is perfect. However, the happy festivities are interrupted by the arrival of a ship which is where we meet Tempest Shadow (what a name, I really love some of the names in this series). The journey begins to save Equestria and Twilight from being captured.
One theme which I always admire about this series in particular is how they have friendship lessons so no matter how much you think you know you actually realise you still have a lot to learn. The creators really stuck with this theme and so there is a lesson to be learned for Twilight and her friends.
I am a fan of Sia's singing so to know they included her in this movie was a cherry on top of my ice cream sundae. I love how her vocals are very different and speaks to your soul, her song "Rainbow" is one of my favourites.
The animation and the vast actors in the movie is probably the only thing that salvaged this movie, I wanted the movie to be on my top 10 for 2017 but sadly that didn't happen. A lot of critics agree that although the creators wanted to go big and epic on this film they sadly failed to do that even though the promotion for this movie promised big things.
