Synopsis

Reception
Critical reception for the DVD has been mixed, with Blog Critics stating that while older fans "may want to stick with the animated DVDs", the movie "captures the essence of Hasbro's My Little Pony". Carey Bryson of About.com gave the DVD three stars, praising the movie's ability to hold the attention of children but wishing that the DVD would "have included a featurette about the making of the show". DVD Verdict also reviewed the release, writing that "providing your impressionable youngster won't get creeped out by the sight of her beloved two-dimensional animated pony pals suddenly transforming into real-life visions of surreal terror, there's a solid chance they'll be smiling and mumbling through the lyrics and demanding with some vigor that you take them to the next live My Little Pony show—or else." Common Sense Media criticized the DVD's low educational value, saying parents "will definitely be bored" and that "kids who love the toys would probably enjoy seeing this live more than watching it on DVD".
