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.

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
