Review of My Little Pony: A Very Minty Christmas

"My Little Pony: A Very Minty Christmas" is a 44-minute animated short film from 2005, so this one is already over a decade old. But it is definitely not among the most known from the franchise, despite the occasion this was made for, namely the holidays. Or maybe because of the occasion as pink, sparkly ponies may not go to well with a winter wonderland. Anyway, I must say that I don't know really any people who made this film and things don't look different when it comes to the voice actors. But still, this film delivers exactly what you would expect looking at the title, namely a Christmas-themed MLP film with a plot that is never really too dramatic when one pony accidentally breaks a magic cane and they need to go on a mission to bring back the spirit of Christmas attached to said cane. Animation-wise, it is also what you could expect. It's neither particularly good or bad I would say, but while I love many other styles of animation and story-telling that may be rather suitable for kids than for adults, this one here does almost nothing for me. One reason may be personal bias as I have never been too big on MLP on general, so if you like the other stuff, then maybe you will enjoy this one too. Christmas 2017 is approaching, so it's your chance to check it out. I would rather give out a negative recommendation here, but I don't really have to as you can make up your mind very well yourself from what you know about MLP and what you have seen as chances are pretty much 0% you have not seen anything from the franchise when you consider checking out this fairly forgotten holiday special.
