My Little Pony was a childhood favourite, and the wonderful My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic recently prompted me to re-visit the older episodes and check out the direct to video releases. Of the recent direct to video releases, Princess Promenade has been my favourite. However I did enjoy this. The story isn't that much surprising and I missed the sense of conflict from the older episodes, but still cute and charming with good morals. The characters are likable and engaging, if not as unique personality-wise in the older episodes and Friendship is Magic. I have heard more memorable songs before, but they were still catchy and tuneful. The score had an endearing sense of whimsy about it, the animation is colourful and the voice work is solid. The only real uneven asset was the writing, at times it was sweet and well-meaning, but also verged on contrived. All in all, nice and enjoyable, if not exceptional. 7/10 Bethany Cox
