Review of My Little Pony: The Movie (1986) by Nina Darnton for The New York Times — 20 Aug 1991

All this may be enough to keep 3- to 7-year-olds entertained for an hour and a half on a hot summer's day, and there is certainly nothing in this sanitized fairy tale that will frighten or alarm them unduly.

Unlike the great Disney classics, however, there is also nothing that will move them - and there are very few bones of wit thrown to the poor parents who will have to sit through the film with children of this age group.
