Customer Review: a nice little ditty
From my daughter’s point of view, this movie is funny, entertaining, refreshing, and utterly enjoyable.
From my point of view, its a bit insipid and like cotton candy for the brain.
On the positive side, it also has no bad guy (our domestic lives almost never do either), which is refreshing because that means all the trite, overdone, mechanisms like “locking people up” are also not present (fr example, powerpuff girls, scooby doo). Also it doesn’t train/encourage her to fight with her siblings (like many other shows).
On the negative side, its just cotton candy for the brain. Ok, it teaches about friendship. So cotton candy with a bit of protein.
Bottom line is its a nice movie that my […]loves and she can watch it without having an overly aggressive/anger driven agenda pushed on her, which is not part of our lives.
I wouldn’t recommend it for an older, more sophisticated child.
Customer Review: Pony Fun
This is actually three Pony episodes on one DVD. The first, Come Back Lily Lightly is about a Unicorn from Unicornia who’s horn lights up when she giggles. This causes her much embarrassment and she runs away for fear of being different. Sounds familiar? This is the old Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer story of acceptance, given a pony glossing. Cute, but unoriginal.
The second story is Two for the Sky about two ponies who want nothing more than to fly. This teaches the moral that its often best just being yourself and being content with who you are and what you have. Dreams are often best left to dreams.
The third story is Pinkie Pie’s Positively Pink. Pinkie has a birthday coming up and her friends want to surprise her by painting the town…Pink! Its a story of friendship and not much else.
The animation is nice, very vibrant and colorful, the stories are standard fare, nothing great. Some of the songs stick out and are memorable singalongs. Unfortunately this DVD does NOT come with extra episodes like the previous two did. So all you get is the three Pony shorts lasting about 45 minutes total.
I thought it was OK kind of cute and decent lessons about being a friend. My daughter loved it and watched it four times in a row the first time she had it. I can safely say that its a clean DVD with little conflict and absolutely nothing “scary” or objectionable and is suitable for any age.
