My Little Pony Movie Review


Thanks for giving my kid nightmares!




     Could the writers of this movie ever have MET a 5-year old girl? Scene after scene was so scary and intense. I was in a theater full of screaming, terrified children. About half had to leave! We should have left, but my near-six year old had been counting down the days until the opening for months, so she would not give in! We love the TV show, but this was horrible! Evil, evil characters enter in the first five minutes and the plot never gets a breather of humor or kindness for about the next hour. The major theme was “grow up, don’t be cute” exactly the opposite of was we came to see. What a disappointment. I feel like the writers should get up at 3am to console my child...

I had heard that a new movie called The Emoji Movie  was to be shown and, not knowing what an "emoji" was, I decided to go and watch. I brought Pineapple along with me, thinking that the experience would be informative for us both.      The room that we watched the movie in wasn't very big, but it gave off a somewhat cozy feeling. As I looked around, I saw that some of the ceiling tiles had cracked and fallen, and now lay on the ground in pieces. I heard the quiet hum of an air conditioner above me, but couldn't feel much of a temperature difference compared to outside the theater. The fabric of the seats had ho
