Synopsis
The Flutter ponies travel to a land where witches live to repair the Sunstone.
A pretty good sequel to the movie.

You shouldn't judge a DVD by it's cover, and that holds very true for this one in particular. Look past the scary-looking, round-nosed ponies, and you will actually find a really enjoyable movie. Originally televised as a ten-part My Little Pony episode, it has everything you'd expect from the first couple of series; Nancy Cartwright as Gusty(hooray!), Bushwoolies, Fizzy, Spike, an annoyingly-voiced baby pony, and even a late cameo from Megan (of course!).
The plot begins some time after the events of the movie, (so I would suggest watching that first if you don't want to be horrendously spoiled), with a bunch of Little Ponies (and Spike) on their way to visit the Flutter Ponies, a bunch of fairy-like ponies with gauzy wings who live in a lush green valley called, imaginatively enough(!), Flutter Valley. I shan't reveal too much here, but the villains from the Movie are in persuit of the ponies, seeking revenge for their defeat, and in doing so, enlist the help of some other local baddies...
The animation is lovely throughout, bar the odd few 'quirks' (things randomly changing colour in the middle of a scene, one of the adult ponies speaking Baby Cuddles' lines, mud disappearing in the blink of a frame), but I think these little things add to the film's charm, somehow. This is a really sweet film, and a nice return to the proper My Little Pony series. It's a shame there are no special features, as I'd have loved to have seen some of the storyboard sketches or original reels, but the film is priced accordingly, and the film doesn't lose anything because of it.
