Watch My Little Pony: A Very Minty Christmas For Free

The Worst Film Ever

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

An unexpected masterpiece

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

"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.

Oh sure it doesn't have the dangerous villains the more recent My Little Pony Incarnation has but it makes up for that by telling a charming story of how one pony is able to make up for a simple mistake and bring everyone to the magical home of Santa Clause. This movie reminds me of being a child, always excited for Christmas to come and being unable to sleep. The opening song is perhaps the catchiest song in the movie, not to mention the catchiest Christmas song I've ever heard and the moist original. The other songs may not be as good but there isn't one I hate, nor is there a character I dislike. Minty is certainly the kid in most of us, if not all of us. She knows she did a bad thing and wants to tell everyone about it to make things right but is nervous and afraid of the consequences. There are few errors in the movie but unless you know about them, you'll go right by them without even catching they were there. As a bonus, this movie reminds us what the true meaning of Christmas really is.

I am from the Allspark Forum.The place for old Pony episodes and movie talk.G3 is analyzed there on that forum.I been a Pony fan since the start, and I was laughing so hard at G3 first.But then I was buying loads of G3 merchandise, and saw this G3 Christmas movie.This is focusing on the clumsy fan favorite Minty that ruins Christmas. Minty flies away thereafter.Of course Minty comes back, and Christmas is saved once again.It's no epic like The Polar Express.But, some light Holiday fare with lots of memorable songs, good animation and lovable ponies.8/10

Okay, I assume that guy who likes ponies told my Friend from the Island, other people, and myself to vote this a ten, so I'll do it!!!!!"My Little Pony: Very Minty Christmas" is downright one of the greatest Christmas specials of all time!!!!! Not only is it very colorful, but extremely kid-friendly and nothing bad to find or switch off of in it!!!!! Nothing but pure holiday joy from start to finish. It ranks right up there with "Frosty" and "Charlie Brown" as well as they cheesy specials like "Santa with Muscles," "Star Wars Holiday Special," and "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians!!!!!" (Just kidding about the last three. LOL)I invite you and your family into My Little Pony's stable to sit by the fire and watch "A Very Minty Christmas!!!!!" You'll laugh and smile!!!!!10/10
