WHAT WE THOUGHT
“Adventures of the Cutie Mark Crusaders” is about pony puberty. Basically, the Cutie Marks that give the Ponies their abilities drives this compilation, as we see the young pony kids get their identities from the eventual markings. This might help some older Pony fans that are going through a rough time in their personal lives. Are you in middle and high school while obsessively watching My Little Pony? Don’t worry, you’re going to get your Cutie Mark.
My Little Pony plays around a lot with what should be a played out franchise. Still, they manage to scramble and find new ideas that play upon the elaborate world they built from an 80s throwback toy. I love creativity in a previously mined field, but I can’t say that I’m a huge fan. What I want to say is that I appreciate the ability to mine clams in the fields of kid entertainment. Digging with your toes to find any nugget that might make a connection.
The DVD comes with sing-alongs and downloadable wallpapers as the special features. The A/V Quality is on par with the last few MLP releases. That being said, I wish that the Dolby track was more expansive. But, I’ll take what I can get. In the end, it’s worth a purchase to fans.
