Overall I liked this movie but here's a few things I think the new gen got wrong:
The 3-d animation makes it nearly impossible to see their cutie marks clearly, and why are they only on one side? Audience members should be able to see their cutie marks clearly all the time. Even if that means no fancy CG.
The characters are too similar. Last generation was very diverse in it's character representation, I feel like this gen they're all kinda the same pony? I want more diversity in their voices, talents, and behaviors.
I do not like zipps voice. It is WAY to quiet and monotoned, really feels like zipps character is emptied out by Liza.
Only one unicorn??? Like can we please have an equal spread. 2 unicorn, 2 pegasi, 2 earth ponies. Simple.
The overall story and characters are decent but I feel like it would be A LOT better if the above were changed.
