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 and films dating back to the 1980s. In this series, Princess Celestia sends her star pupil, the bookish unicorn Twilight Sparkle, to Ponyville to improve her socialization skills. Twilight quickly makes five new four-legged friends: Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity. 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.

People have either been absolutely head over heels for the season finale or left just shaking their heads. Unfortunately, we find ourselves in the latter camp. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Patrick K @RT61395131 09/22/2024 IMO one of the weakest seasons Season felt rushed due to the lack of episodes. It didn't really know what to do with itself. S3 feels like the episodes are a lot more conclusive but also leave the door open for future adventures, without having enough time to say everything; a symptom of being the last few episodes in your contract before its renewal. The finale especially suffers from this, being crushed into a 22 minute plot-jumbled musical number which makes Twilight's ascension feel cheap and unsatisfying. TBH they could have done away with Spike at your Service to fix that problem - that episode was such filler in a season that needed everything but that.

See more 04/02/2021 Very awesome season. glad to see Trixie Lulamoon comeback! See more 08/25/2020 Every episode is its own masterpiece, except for Spike at Your Service, which is still great. The episodes don't really build off each other. See more Read all reviews
