Story Plot

This revamped incarnation of the "My Little Pony" franchise not only appeals to the little girls that the toy line is primarily marketed to, but has drawn a cult following of teenagers, self-proclaimed "geeks," and even adults that remember the TV series, specials. In this series, Princess Celestia sends her star pupil, the bookish unicorn Twilight Sparkle(Ella Purnell), to Ponyville to improve her socialization skills. Twilight quickly makes five new four-legged friends: Applejack(Katherine McNamara), Rainbow Dash(Anya Taylor Joy), Pinkie Pie(Margot Robbie), Fluttershy(Elle Fanning)and Rarity(Emma Stone). Each instilled with the respective spirits of magic, honesty, loyalty, laughter, kindness and generosity, the animals learn that by working together they can achieve the most important element of all: harmony. That ultimate underlying message may sound corny as all get-out, but the snappy dialogue and expressive animation make the treacle surprisingly palatable.
