God is not dead, he is a clip-pity clop-pity my little pony, prancing through the sand on life's beach and trampling all over deaths chessboard. Bergman would be so shocked that his film would be so upstaged by a 1000 year old dragon instead of some pasty guy in a robe. I couldn't help but think that maybe Herman Melville would be proud, that the pony's great white whale was such a dragon and the ponies would, if they could fire their chocolate hearts out of their candy coated chests. I wont ruin the riveting ending that had me bite my nails balanced on the edge of my seat. . but rest assured its no third rate sled named rosebud!

Let me apologize to all those I have doubted. This is, quite simply, the single most gripping, powerful, raw and intense film I have ever had the good fortune to see. I literally walked away shaken, my life forever changed There are literally dozens of parts of the masterpiece of modern film that My Little Pony: The Princess Promenade is that stick out, but the DEA drug bust in the opening of the second act has not left my mind since l first saw the film. The emotion, the bloodshed, the four-letter words that at first shock you coming from the mouths of blue and pink horses but which you will later refuse to live without everything in the scene is perfect I had never, literally NEVER, in my life up until the point that I watched this film. I bawled for five days afterwords. My family, who hadn't had the good luck to see the film, didn't understand. My friends didn't understand. Those all around me had missed the magic, that is all. The single greatest film ever made, the film that finally removes the crown from Citizen Kane, is a film we all should have predicted to do so My Little Pony: The Princess Promenade is a tour-de-force that will rock your m*fing balls off. And you'll thank it for it 10/10 the only film of which I have ever given such a rating. Jaw-dropping. Beautiful. My Little Pony

9 out of 9 people found the following review useful: A Cerebral, Painfully Honest Piece of Cinematic Art, 28 July 2010 Author: Cinema Buff from United States William Faulkner once said, "The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life." When sitting down to watch "My Little Pony: The Princess Promenade", I was forced to reflect upon Faulkner's quote. This movie, which almost does not deserve such a basic term - as if to imply that it could and should be compared with other such "movies" involves the disruption of flower parade with the awakening of a 1,000-year-old dragon However, the plot is merely the MacGuffin for the emotional truths that reveal themselves in 50 rapturous minutes The Princess Promenade" shows the typical Victor Dal Chele touches. The lyrical camera-work, complex story lines and ambitious themes immediately remind us of Transformers: Go-Bots" and "RoboCop: Alpha Commando", not to mention his predecessor "My Little Pony: A Very Minty Christmas". However, his previous work now feels like mere preparation for this, his masterwork. Earlier reviews have compared this film to the work of Ozu. Actually, the influence of a number of masters is evident here. He combines the artistic editing of Eisenstein, the visual innovation of Welles, the provocation of Fassbinder, the existential philosophies of Godard, and the frenetic surrealism of Luis Buñuel. These elements are merely jumping off points, though, for a unique style that future film scholars will refer to as "Dal Chele-ism" But as any film-goer will tell you, style only goes so far. The reason "The Princess Promenade" deserves its place next to "Grand lusion", "La Dolce Vita" and "Rashomon" is the emotional impact it achieves The story starts off light enough, making the viewer feel at ease. It is funny, often times hilarious. Then, it is revealed that the laughs are masking a deeper, more tragic subtext, and the emotional weight of this revelation induces tears in all who watch The third act is truly revelatory. I found myself first hating, and then embracing, humanity. And when I had unleashed all of my emotion at the world and society around me, the movie forced me to look within myself. It revealed that I, like everyone else, was ultimately an empty vessel full of hope and longing but ultimately achieving nothing As I was ready to hang my hat, and admit defeat at this monster of a film, its denouement landed with a message of hope that would have been manipulative had the previous 47 minutes not laid the groundwork for this, its most logical resolution. As the last image faded, I felt hopeful for myself as a human being and for humanity as a whole And as the final credits rolled, I wept. I wept not only for the ponies and their plight with the dragon and the flower parade. I wept for myself, as had not felt such an emotional charge from a work of art. I wept for the cinema, as a new standard has now been established in visual storytelling. I wept for Victor Dal Chele, who now stands tall as the premiere voice of our generation. And most of a wept for the world, which will never be able to match the painful honesty, blistering imagination and unending beneficence that Mr. Dal Chele has presented in this, surely the finest film of our generation

Finally beholding this film is like taking these sentient pieces of joy and injecting them directly into my soul, where they begin to breathe of their own will. The experience is such that one does not even realize that oneself is in Heaven; one is simply there, to bask in true existence. I was taken on a journey from which no being can return untouched. I will forever be humbled by the shining light of this revelation, the beauty of which I cannot even begin to describe. Breathe on, My Little Pony. Breathe orn.

Despite being a published author, anything I could possibly write would ultimately prove clumsy insufficient and defamatory to this untainted 50 minutes of sheer genius. Never in all my years did I think I might come across a work of art so awe-inspiring that praise itself would become insulting, but I thank God that I have. Embark on a journey with some of the most convoluted and interesting characters the movie, nay the entire fiction industry has provided. People have been searching for the meaning of life since the dawn of Humanity,I daresay this movie provides just about the closest thing to an answer any of us could ever hope for.All I can say is that My Little Pony: The Princess Promenade will, in every sense of the word, astound generations to come and that too sounds feebly slanderous.

Blown., 25 January 2009 Author: backwards_pi from United States Never before has such a touching, heartwarming film succeeded so well as both a captivating family film and an epic adventure. It finds its way into the hearts of people from al walks of life and fills their soul with happiness and joy. The dialogue is spot on and surprisingly edgy for such a film as though the writers of The Shield began writing for talking ponies. Yet it fits perfectly. You can almost imagine such words coming from the mouths of real ponies The cinematography was excellent. Scenic landscapes and a deep focus allow the viewer to take in the breadth and beauty of the setting and drives us closer into the Ponies' world The graphic sex scene was also masterfully executed, with the camera moving over our copulating couple with smooth grace and majesty as their bodies ripple and throb before us. Don't feel dirty if this scene arouses you, you are feeling exactly what the director, in what will be his most memorable credit, wants us to feel. Not since Spielberg has such a person been able to inspire such a swell of emotion in his audience members through the manipulation of two dimensional imagery

How can a "My Little Pony" flick be outstanding?" How wrong i was... Right from the beginning, with a breath taking intro, you can't refuse this astonishing work of art. "My Little Pony: The Princess Promenade" glorious succeed the gap between child-movie and high-minded piece for adults. It's like "The Matrix" and Citizen Kane" together: So many levels, you can't touch just by first time watching. In the end, i almost cried my eyes out of tears, the most bittersweet end since "Life Is Beautiful". Don't let you misguide by the - i admit - kitschy cover. It's so much more...you can't even compare it with the movies from Studio Ghibli. Masterpiece!

50 out of 55 people found the following review useful: Forget Everything You Know About Ponies, 28 December 2008 Author: Keith from United States There's a certain measure of beauty striven for by artists in this world, a dream of absolute aesthetic perfection heretofore thought unreachable by the flawed hand of humanity. This dream has just become reality. My Little Pony: The Princess Promenade has opened a doorway to a realm of staggering beauty, one that cant be explained away with simple words. To watch this film is an experience like no other. To quaff the heady brew of its majesty is to wrap yourself in a blanket of enlightenment. You don't just see its purity, you taste it- lt fills you. I am not a religious man, but this film is as close to God as one can come in this wretched world of ours Any attempt at analysis of how the film achieves what it does is meaningless. One can certainly break it down into its component parts, though this yields more questions than answers. (1) A narrative of staggering force and clarity. (2) Simple yet elegant camera-work, comparable to the masterworks of Ozu, yet leagues beyond even his understated beauty. (3) A swirling palette of colors, always moving yet never extravagant. (4) A troupe of actors who will accept nothing less than to become these noble beasts, to cast off the shackles of their own human identities and through their words, conjure a kind of concentrated beauty from the very aether around them. Yet this is nothing more than a simplification-a reduction of what is by definition vast and unknowable to a straightforward list of observable attributes. MLP:TPP is so much more than the sum of its parts, and must be felt to be believed That this film hasn't received more critical attention is a monumental tragedy. Though perhaps... perhaps the real tragedy is within ourselves. It may be that we are simply not ready to open our hearts, let the scales fall from our eyes, and embrace the only true beauty that really exists in this world: My Little Pony

I figured, hey, it will save me some trouble. So I go to play the movie and am shocked to find this is not just another typical children's movie, but a modern work of art Right from the beginning, I found myself drawn in by the unique and refreshing character designs. Not only did the jovial mise-en-scene create a strong sense of attachment, but the story was unlike anything I had ever seen. The twists, the character interactions, it was all so heant warming and perfect. The end of the film was an emotional climax, and one of the few times I have ever cried to a movie Some people do not believe any one film can ever be perfect, but My Little Pony: The Princess Promenade would certainly be as close as anything can get. It saddens me that so many people have judged this book by its cover (or should I say, film by its box art!) and simply dismissed this as being another trivial cash-in in the crowded children's film market. These people are missing out on one of the greatest stories I have ever had the chance to witness. The film's dynamic appeal to young and old audiences alike is unique and welcome.

The plot it amazingly insightful without being too pretentious or condescending. If Orson Welles had made a movie about talking ponies, this is the movie he would have made. I can't recommend this movie enough. Anyone can appreciate it and it works on so many levels. The visuals are really amazing, especially considering the budget. The voice actors were all spot on. And the pacing is perfect. I was almost moved to tears by its innocent and simple beauty. I didn't want to cry in front of my girlfriend because it would have been embarrassing to cry during a pony movie, but it was just that good. Do not miss this hidden gem. If it isn't nominated for Best Animated Picture, I will be protesting The Academy Awards this year.

84 out of 89 people found the following review useful: A staggering masterpiece..., 2 September 2008 Author: meininky from United States In my eighteen years on this earth, I have been able to see many movies, some of them great, some of them terrible. Only one of them, however, has been able to move me to tears of exultation and utter, boundless joy. That movie, my friends, is My Little Pony: The Princess Promenade. The My Little Pony series has always been known for its cutting-edge approach to film-making as it tackles tough issues and offers a refreshing commentary on surprisingly deep subject matter. Princess Promenade goes even further than its wonderful predecessors. This movie is the second coming of Christ. It is an orgasm for the senses. It is the word "perfect," transformed into an animated, watchable form. It is love itself. It is like an evolved form of oxygen that is so much fresher than a typical breath of fresh air. If you don't see this movie, you have never experienced life or seen color or felt a single genuine, worthwhile emotion. Life begins and ends with my pony friends at the peerless Princess Promenade.

In my humble opinion, it is the best of the "My Little Pony" series. Second only to the film classic "Last Tango in Paris" in terms of its cutting edge cinematography and intriguing and highly original plot, it stands alone as a masterpiece in regards to its careful handling of a very difficult subject. This movie has something for everybody. It is a raw and unapologetic social commentary for a generation in search of the answers to the biggest questions of our age with sing-a-longs you can have on your iPod and not be ashamed to show off. The music is inspired and wonderfully executed, and it's cinematic score was simply breathtaking. My only hope is that when I have children, they can draw from the knowledge and wisdom I have gained from watching this brilliant piece of cinema. This is the only movie I have ever recommended to all my friends and have been thanked for afterwards. VIEW DYNAMIC MEGA POSTER WITH CHARACTER PROFILES ad feedback
