A friend asked if he should watch MLP: FIM in a journal
10 years ago
Here was my answer, do you agree with it, maybe have something to add or a counter-point?
O..M..G..YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!, you should watch My Little Pony: Friendship is magic. There are many reasons for anyone to watch the show, it is -NOT- just for or geared towards little girls age 6-10 as the first three generations of MLP was. There are four main reasons I can use to show why it is such a good show (in no specific order.)
1. Animation: The flash based animation used to create MLP: FIM makes it one of, if not the best animated shows on television today. The artwork is amazing and is preety much unmatched in the cartoons of today. Most of the toons that are shown on networks (Nick, Cartoon network, 4kids/vortex/the CW and disney) are either done in an ugly exaxerated style or are made in 3D. That itself isn't bad, but there is no beauty to admire in those other toons.
2. Music: The musical score created by Daniel Ingram is Hollywood movie quality and the songs that he makes are just so awesome. Many of them have an upbeart feel to them, are silly and are just so memorable that without knowing it you will find yourself walking down the street or sitting doing something (art or homework) and you will be humming one of the songs or outright singing them.
3. Characters: No matter what your personality, i can almost guarentee that you will find and connect with at least one of the main six ponies; Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Princess Twilight Sparkle and my favorite Pinkie Pie) or one of the cast of 30+ background ponies/characters. They have actual depth to their characters and have grown as living beings on the screen since their debut in season one.
4. Morals/lessons: In each and every episode there is a moral or lesson that the pony the episode was about learns, yea that is fine for them but the things the ponies learn each week can also be used by us in our everyday lives. An example is, I was feeling down a week or so ago and i decided to watch a random episode. The lesson in this episode was that you should never change who you are just tp please another or to try to make that person like you more. by doing that he or she is not liking you, they are liking the person you are presenting, not the person you really are.
There are a million other reasons i could talk about, but I must head to work and stuff (there is a lesson about that too in one of the episodes I am sure lol.)
