Blog:My Little Pony: All Ponies Go To Heaven (FAKE FILM)

My Little Pony: All Ponies Go To Heaven is an animated made-for-TV special. It is set in the same universe as the hit animated series, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Plot
Upon his death at the hooves of the Mane 6, King Sombra finds himself, surprisingly, in Pony Heaven. However, he wants no part of it and sneaks back to the world of the living in order to exact his revenge on Twilight Sparkle. Finding himself in the city of New Horseleans, Sombra is soon befriended by a little orphaned filly who needs his help. With the bond they develop with one another, will Sombra be able to find redemption and prove all ponies really do go to Heaven?

Why It Sucks
1) As the title would imply, it is a very blatant rip-off of the 1989 film, All Dogs Go To Heaven.


 * King Sombra fills the role of Charlie


 * Yellow Daisy is very similar to Anne-Marie


 * Twilight Sparkle is a substitute for Carface


 * The pink alicorn Sombra meets in Heaven rips off the whippet angel (Anabelle)

2) The plot is 100% unoriginal and does nothing new with the story it ripped off. In fact, if you've seen ADGTH, you've pretty much already seen this film.

3) Unlike the character he rips off, King Sombra is very unlikable. At least Charlie Barkin was charming and had his good side. Sombra is a complete jerk who lived his life as an evil tyrant as opposed to Charlie who was simply a con artist.

4) None of the original voice actors for MLP: FiM reprise their roles for this film.

5) The animation is shoddy-looking with numerous errors.

6) Cringe-inducing voice-acting that can range from overly excessive to sounding like the voice actors aren't even trying.

7) Humor and themes that are not appropriate for the target demographic; it seems like the movie can't decide on who it's aimed at.

8) Why would King Sombra even get a shot at Heaven? Sure, Charlie Barkin was greedy and selfish, but even he didn't enslave an entire kingdom. Even King Sombra himself is confused when he's told he made it into Heaven!

9) Some scenes drag on for far too long.

10) It's awful to see Yellow Daisy get manipulated and lied to by Sombra, especially since she puts so much trust in him.

11) Very poor writing. Sombra completely changes his personality and outlook on life just over the course of half an hour, making his character development very unbelievable.

12) Some scenes are far too gruesome and intense. When King Sombra dies, you can even see his bones and organs as he disintegrates.

Redeeming Qualities
1) The animation looks like that of the original MLP G4 despite it being cheap.

2) The ending is touching as Sombra gives his life for Yellow Daisy.

3) Yellow Daisy is very cute, and her voice actress, unlike most of the actors, did a good job.

4) It was interesting to see New Horseleans since it was a part of Equestria that never appeared in the show.

5) Getting to see what a pony afterlife could look like was interesting.

6) The soundtrack is well-done.

7) It's funny how Sombra acknowledges the complete absurdity of his acceptance into Heaven.

8) At least we didn't get a ponified version of the infamous alligator scene from All Dogs Go To Heaven.

Trivia

 * Fans consider this film to be non-canon.


 * Another King Sombra-focused My Little Pony film was created by the same studio, called My Little Pony: The Movie: Legend of the Crystal Empire. However, the events of that film are heavily contradicted by the events of this one.
