I went to see the My Little Pony movie last Saturday, and let me tell you... It was worth the money. I know that the fandom is mostly dead at this point (other than hardcore weirdos like me who've practically grown up watching it) and the movie's been getting some less than positive reviews, but I honestly loved it. It had plenty of Easter eggs for the fans, the songs were honestly a step above what they usually are in the show, and the animation--don't even get me started on how good the animation was. My only complaint is that the 2D animation, although it was fantastic, didn't go well with the 3D backgrounds. Otherwise it was smooth and bouncy, and I adore the rounder style they used on the ponies! Although I've always loved the show's art style, after seeing the movie I honestly can't look at the show anymore without thinking: "Oh, how... bland."

As for Fizzlepop Berrytwist Tempest Shadow, she was the best villain since Discord. As a kid I loved Discord and Nightmare Moon, but was never a huge fan of the other villains, and I stand by that to this day. But Tempest Shadow was so well animated, you could tell how well-articulated she is and how salty with life she is. Not to mention she has the best smolder I've ever seen on an animated villain, period.

Just go look at her song, 'Open Up Your Eyes'. I got chills at 0:37: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJST43…

I've been meaning to draw more pony art for the longest time. I think the last time I uploaded a digital drawing (or any drawing??) of a pony was... two years ago?? Which is weird because I may or may not definitely still keep up with the show.

I think this is the pony I've seen that has a sharp design xD 

I love the glowiness around the horn

Are you talking about her horn, or...?

Hhhh, thanks. I spent less time on that than I did on the entire rest of it, but that's the part that everyone likes. x'D

I was referring more to the mane xD It looks very pointy, like you would cut your hand if you tried to pet her. 

Ha, everyone loves shiny things

Ohhh, right. xD Yeah, I wondered about that when I saw the movie. Don't get me wrong, she has a cool design, and the hair is unique compared to the other characters, but it's also kinda... Does she cut it to look like that??

I'm guessing a loooooot of hair gel is involved.

so I looked at the song


and I was really confused


because


the animation was clearly 3D based


and they did draw over 3D models to make the characters

so that explains that--


but the animation is top notch


( I know absolutely nothing about the show other thank liking Rainbow Dash so this is about all I can add to the conversation-- )



10/10 art <3

Yeah, the ponies were animated really well, in my opinion. I know people like to give studios flack for using 3D models, but I honestly don't think it matters if their animation ended up looking great anyways. The backgrounds did bother me, but other than them being obnoxiously 3D, the movie felt huge. I mean, there was more than one time that they zoomed out and you could just tell: "Wow, this world is big."

Pffft, it's a really cute, fun little show. It's gotten much less girly over the years. The first season has some classic episodes, but the first two seasons are noticeably girlier than the others, since they realized their main audience weren't the 4 year old girls it was intended for. The first season is like: "GIGGLES, SLEEPOVERS!!!" and then it slowly turns into: "This character has mental/emotional issues and is upset that she's growing apart from her childhood friend!" 

Awww thanks!!
