Why It's Better Than Postman Pat: The Movie[]
- Decent storyline.
- Good voice acting.
- Twilight Sparkle and the Mane Five are likeable.

- Starlight Glimmer wasn't in The Mane Group. We don't even know what happened to her. Luckily, she did make a cameo in the film.
- Princess Luna didn't do anything at all in the film, but turned to stone.
- The film's rating can be outrageous to some people.
