Coming to DVD from SHOUT! Kids Factory and Hasbro Studios is
the next batch of adventures from our favorite hoofed friends with MY LITTLE
PONY Friendship is Magic: Spring Into Friendship.
When Rainbow is invited to a party at Princess Celestia’s
castle in The Ticket Master is
becomes clear there is a dilemma. As much as she wants to go, so do all the
other ponies and each one tries to do something special to show how much they
want to go. Stressed out, Rainbow makes a decision that surprises them all
showing how selfless one can truly be and rewarded just the same.
Rarity in Sisterhooves
Social, her parents need to go out of town for a few days leaving sister
Sweetie Bell in her care. Discovering that trying to keep a little sister
occupied while keeping everything in order is a big job. Making Sweetie Bell
feel unloved, Rarity learns that perhaps she may have been wrong about so many
things.
Just for Sidekicks has
Spike taking care of Angel while Fluttershy works on celebration plans at the
Crystal Empire. That gives him an idea that he can collect more jewels by
babysitting the pets of the other Pony’s. His real plan is to pawn the pets off
on the smaller Pony’s so he can get back to doing what he really wanted to be
doing – baking a cake. Spike is in for more than he ever bargained for!
Princess Twilight
Sparkle (Part 1) has Twilight learning how to be a princess in her first
Summer Sun Celebration. What she doesn’t expect is a black vine coming after
Princess Celestia! Even more surprising is that the sun and the moon are both
sharing the sky. Twilight must return to Ponyville and get the Elements of
Harmony along with her friends to try and find answers. Trusting Zecora puts
Twilight in front of Princess Luna who isn’t quite right.
In Princess Twilight
Sparkle (Part 2) Twilight discovers that Luna’s new look has come about by
the potion. More importantly, she discovers that it all began with a visit to
the Everfree Forest . Knowing that she and her friends
must also go in the forest, they seek out the Tree of Harmony only to discover
it also is covered in a strange vine. Of course there is one thing Twilight
doesn’t know that someone back in Ponyville does. Will they all make it to the
Summer Sun Celebration?

MY LITTLE PONY Friendship is Magic: Spring into Friendship
is a delightful look at the power of friendship, being loyal, the importance of
family and the importance of giving ones word. Those are pretty wonderful
lessons to see, especially when My Little Pony’s are the ones showing us all
how.
The DVD includes the episodes of The Ticket Master, Sisterhooves Social, Just for Sidekicks, Princess
Twilight Sparkle Part 1, and Princess
Twilight Sparkle Part 2. There is the fun Bonus Feature of the Sing-Along
and if that isn’t enough, how about the Spring into Fun with special
Egg-Decorating stickers!
MY LITTLE PONY has been a staple of programming in my
family’s home for so many years that I’m thrilled it continues today with the
grandkids. The storytelling is funny and colorful with so many elements of
animation that are captivating.
These characters have become so iconic that you’d have to be
from another universe not to recognize them. The best part of this franchise is
that it is for everyone to enjoy. One of the best experiences is to sit with a
young child and watch to see the wonder through their eyes.
I still do this with my own family because when you know
something has made such an impression of goodness and fun – you definitely want
to share it!
In the end – these Pony’s know how to spring into
friendship!
