The ponies find allies in the Grundles, who have already been made homeless by the Smooze. The challenge is to stop the witch and her daughters, send them back into their volcano, and retrieve the lost land of the Grundles from under its cover of Smooze -- not to mention protecting Ponyland from the worst. Not an easy agenda, even after several adventures gear everyone up for the grand finale. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Charles Solomon, Los Angeles Times
The sugary cuteness of the Little Ponies masks a corporate greed as cold and sharp as a razor blade.
-
Nina Darnton, New York Times
The little ponies are like those pastel heart candies that have little messages on them such as ''I luv you.'' You can eat a few, but too many make you sick.

, TV Guide's Movie Guide
The story is treacly sweet, told in a simplistic animation style that has lamentably become an industry standard.
