Very Cool!!!

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I have a few different My Little Pony items including a shirt, a bath set, a blanket, some books, and some DVDs. Although A Very Minty Christmas isn't my absolute fave of my collection (that award goes to Dancing In The Clouds), but it's still a very nice film, especially for little girls who love horses (as I did and still do). Minty is so sweet and adorable, she's in my top three ponies along with Sky Wishes and Star Catcher. Plus, as I have mentioned in previous reviews, I simply adore Christmas and the vast majority of movies, episodes, books, and songs that pertain to it. It all begins when Minty accidentally breaks the glowing candy cane intended to attract Santa and goes off to find Santa to tell him what happened with the candy cane. But along the way she discovers that it's not about the candy cane but about the amount of Christmas spirit possessed by Minty and her companions and that Christmas is about giving rather than getting. This is a message I greatly appreciate given how often it seems that Christmas is about receiving when it's about giving.

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'm a sucker for sweetness, but I'm also a slave to substance, so children's videos like these are a dangerous minefield of disappointment. Luckily for me, My Little Pony: A Very Minty Christmas has at a good portion of the fun and the heart you expect from a Christmas special. While it may not be the most memorable or emotional, it at least tries to be on that level.Christmas time is just around the corner and the ponies are all excited for Santa to visit. While trying to make sure everything is perfect, Minty (Tabitha St. Germain) accidentally breaks the Here Comes Christmas Candy Cane, without which Santa will be unable to find Ponyville. Now she has to set things right so her friends can have a merry Christmas.At first I wasn't sure what to think of Minty. When she's introduced, she's won't shut up, and it was starting to get on my nerves. But as the story went on I grew to find her charming and even adorable. She's scatterbrained and a little clumsy, but she's not stupid and she knows when to take things seriously. For example, when she realizes she needs to do something to make up for her mistake, the first idea she has is to give away her most valuable possessions as presents to her friends. I admire that kind of generosity and selflessness in a protagonist, not to mention a role model for kids.This movie stands out compared to most other G3 videos by actually having a complete story with conflict and even a little bit of peril. I genuinely wanted to see Minty save Christmas, and there's a couple curve balls thrown in to make you question if she'll be able to do so. It's disappointing that such basic concepts of storytelling are so hard to come by in these straight-to-video releases. Just having those puts this above some of Disney's worst sequels.If you have a child, especially one who is into the G4 (the current) My Little Pony series, this would be a great special to bring out next Christmas. I don't know if kids find the drastic difference in art style and characters confusing, but they'll probably find it enjoyable regardless. It's simple, innocent fun that keeps you engaged and entertained.

This movie was very cute and good quality. The animation was fantastic. The storyline was pretty darn good and the voices were spot on. I am eager to see rereleases of this, as well as more G3 stuff, like Dancing in the Clouds and way more of the toys. Hasbro should really recycle all of the old G3 things they have crowding their storage rooms. Anyway, I love Minty and think she has a good personality. She is like me (likes to hoard and is clumsy). G3 lovers (such as myself) would most likely enjoy this and collect Minty merchandise. I think this movie is wonderful for all ages. Though it wasn't a real a Christmas Classic, everyone would love the bright colors and huggable characters.
