To celebrate, we hit the movie theater on Thursday to see the new My Little Pony Movie. Overall, it was a like watching a very long MLP episode. I appreciate that they kept the original voice cast, though I do object to the new animation style somewhat. There were points in the story that retread on the same themes and events as the show, which was a bit obnoxious, but I did expect that from the film since they cannot depend on the people watching having the backstory of the world.
The bigger issue to me is the shoe-horning in of a popstar character who was totally unnecessary. It would've been one thing if they had gotten any of the existing popstars of the MLP world to come in, but the film had this completely unknown character, then made this her out to be a much larger part of the story than she actually was.
Saffron totally loved it, and Corwin as well. Osric was not very impressed; he gave one thumbs up and one thumbs down.
This next week, we have Halloween to look forward to! We've already taken the kids to one Halloween party yesterday, and they had a good time playing carnival games and wearing their costumes.
