in “My Little Pony: The Movie,” the evil satyr Storm King (Liev Schreiber) has enslaved the ponies of Equestria with leather bridles, a look that unmistakably suggests S&M. As the fillies seek to dethrone him, they’re hunted by Storm King’s minion Tempest Shadow (Emily Blunt), a unicorn with a broken horn that fizzes like a sparkler, who stalks them wearing black rubber. Another punchline has a male character reaching down out of frame to reassuringly pat his crotch.

I just went earlier today. It was pretty great!

It was also a collection of film and game tropes I've already seen before in other works, but nonetheless, it was great. Tempest made a great antagonist, and her song "Open Up Your Eyes" towards the end was pretty excellent, though I'm a sucker for songs sung by villains in these sorts of films. She was threatening and made her power very much apparent to the viewers, yet at the same time the movie did well enough (if a bit too easily) to make her endearing and not just evil for the sake of evil. She had a reason for her being the way she was. The Storm King was pretty cool too, though he unfortunately didn't get much characterization. He was just your typical evil villain character, but he was at least funny. I will say though that while the animation and art themselves were excellent, they used CGI a lot to give locations the appearance of having depth and also for certain magic scenes, and it just looked really out of place. The movie was also tonally bizarre, and I think it might've scared one of the kids watching because towards the end one kid in the theater started crying and her father had to take the child out. Its just strange, like its trying so hard to be serious at parts while still trying to be cutesy in others. Overall I liked it though, and despite needing to be at least a bit more creative and original, its something I could recommend.

Don't be. Trust me, no one there actually cares and if they do they won't say anything. Chances are no one at the theater will be someone you will see again, so its not like it matters anyways.

The movie was on the same level of "depth" than the Minion movie

The Minion movie didn't have a real plot though.
About half of the film was set up to be about stealing the crown, but then after spending WAY too much time on this, the plot went in a totally different direction. Too much time in the Minions movie was also spent just dicking around and GETTING to New York. I mean the MLP Movie doesn't really have a whole lot of depth, but to compare it to the Minions movie, a film where most of the characters can't even properly talk and the plot itself completely changes halfway through, is downright silly

I mean, the last major Hasbero movie in theaters scarred kids for life by killing Optimus Prime(the cartoon, not the live action one), so I guess there’s a common theme going.
