It will remind you of the original, but it\u2019s more modern. It is very entertaining and interesting. If you have watched the <em>My Little Pony <\/em>series before, you will enjoy this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The storyline follows Sunny (Vanessa Hudgens) who is an Earth pony and she meets a unicorn named Izzy (Kimiko Glenn). Unicorns, Earth ponies and Pegasi aren\u2019t friends anymore and it is unlikely to see them together. Sunny and Izzy realize that all the ponies don\u2019t have any magic and they need to find out why. They travel all through Equestria to find out how to get magic back for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SGbPjQZrIuk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The songs in this film are very catchy and creative. My favorite song is \u201cGlowin\u2019 Up&#8221; performed by Sofia Carson, because it is upbeat, sets the mood and is a good song all around. The storyline is fun and shows us how the times are much more different than it was with the original ponies. My favorite character is Sunny, because she doesn\u2019t believe what others want her to believe and she never gives up. She grew up with people always telling her that the other ponies were bad, but she knows how to see the good in them, so she thinks differently. Also, when times get tough Sunny never gives up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MLP.B.jpg?resize=225%2C110&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7979\" width=\"225\" height=\"110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MLP.B.jpg?resize=300%2C147&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MLP.B.jpg?w=320&amp;ssl=1 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of <em>My Little Pony: A New Generation<\/em> is friendship is magic. If you have been a <em>My Little Pony <\/em>fan since earlier shows, this message will pop right into your head. This is a great film to watch with the family. is an awesome film to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I rate<em> My Little Pony: A New Generation<\/em> 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 6 to 11. You can watch this film on Netflix starting September 24, 2021. Be sure to check it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My Little Pony: A New Generation <br>By Maica N., KIDS FIRST!

With all different types of ponies coming together, and saving the day with the power of friendship, you will be entertained the whole time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>My Little Pony: A New Generation <\/em>is about a young Earth pony named Sunny (Vanessa Hudgens) who is set on bringing back the friendship, magic and unity between the Earth ponies, the unicorns, and the Pegasi. Teaming up with a unicorn named Izzy (Kimiko Glenn), which is frowned upon by Sunny\u2019s best friend and sheriff Hitch (James Marsden), Sunny goes on a quest to get the divided crystals that would bring Equestria back to the way it used to be. Along the way she makes new friends, and faces new challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MLP.D.jpg?resize=225%2C126&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7981\" width=\"225\" height=\"126\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite thing about this movie is the music. Beautiful harmony is one of my favorite things, and every song in this movie has that element. My favorite song is \u201cFit Right In\u201d performed by Vanessa Hudgens, Kimiko Glenn, James Marsden, Liza Koshy and Sofia Carson. The different parts that everyone sings and the visuals that accompany it make it a stand-out scene that audiences will remember. The whole vibe of this song matches the tone of the movie extremely well. <em>My Little Pony: A New Generation <\/em>is a movie targeted towards younger audiences, so naturally they aren\u2019t going to explicitly refer to the more mature morals. However, within the plot of the film, it\u2019s evident that one of the messages is that it doesn\u2019t matter who you are, where you&#8217;re from or what you look like, you shouldn\u2019t be judged by someone before they get to know you. Everyone should be included, and treated with kindness. The Earth ponies, Unicorns and Pegasi were taught to be afraid of each other. But, once they meet and hear the other sides of their stories, they become friends and realize that it doesn\u2019t matter what anyone else says, they make their own decisions about the others. My favorite characters in this show are Sunny and Hitch. They\u2019re definitely an example of a dynamic duo. Even though they are different, with Hitch being professional and overprotective and Sunny being adventurous and a risk-taker, they make a great team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MLP.HORIZONTAL.jpg?resize=225%2C126&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7983\" width=\"225\" height=\"126\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The message of <em>My Little Pony: A New Generation <\/em>is something that all of the ponies can agree on no matter where they\u2019re from &#8211; friendship is magic. No matter what they are told about each other, they will always come together for friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I rate <em>My Little Pony: A New Generation <\/em>5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18, plus adults. No matter how different the ponies look, you will feel the nostalgia from the relationships between them. <em>My Little Pony: A New Generation <\/em>comes out on Netflix September 24, 2021.
