Overall it was a good movie and a good beginning to the new generation. Was it perfect? No, the ending was a bit fast and a bit flat, and they didn't really address what happened to Sunny and what she now was. The main villain (if you can call him that) is very one dimension with no redeeming qualities whatsoever (the best villains are those who honestly feel they are doing the right thing, even if it is the wrong methods or reasons). Was it good though? Yes. The main purpose of this film is to introduce the 'mane five' characters to the audience and it did an excellent of doing this and establishing their personalities, goals, and desires. The animation is outstanding and the backgrounds gorgeous, with all sorts of subtleties. It does make me wonder what they will do for the series since was no doubt also expensive. The voice work, for me, what the best part, as it was top notch. Of course we have to note that this movie is a sequel to G4, it is explicitly set in the same world is some unspecified future time,and the callbacks to G4 are numerous and important tot he story, it really pay homage to the previous generation. Of course there are a million questions still the movie didn't address (as this would have impossible in 90 minutes and not the main point). What are the crystals, who made them and why? What caused the magic to end? What happened to Twilight? What about places like Ponyville and Canterlot? What of the other species? Well hopefully at least some of these will be addressed in the future series. Four out of five stars.

Dude, you have no haters on this site, just saying... I hope the surgery goes without a hitch and you have a speedy recovery.
