History WesternAnimation / MyLittlePonyTheMovie

The ponies go to their friend, Megan, and her younger siblings, Danny and Molly, for friend. Who in turn tell them to go to the Moochic, who tells them to go find the Flutter Ponies. Thus begins an epic quest for living slime, weird friendly trolls called grundles, giant sunflowers, living trees, and much more.

* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: The Smooze has an entire VillainSong about how unstoppable it is, and lives up to it, with even the Rainbow of Light being unable to stop it. [[spoiler:The Flutter Ponies ultimately prove too much for it, weaking it enough for the Rainbow to finish off.]]

MyLittlePony The Movie was released in theaters in 1986, based on the toyline MyLittlePony, by Hasbro.

!! ''My Little Pony: The Movie'' contains examples of:

* ILied

-->'''Reeka''': You said nothing could stop the smooze!

* AnsweringEcho: There's a song done entirely like this between Baby Lickety Split, who's bemoaning her troubles at a well, and Flutter Pony Morning Glory, who's trapped inside a well.

* HeyItsThatVoice: Who would have guessed that a movie apparently made to market a children's toy would star [[Film/BatmanReturns Penguin]], [[TheSimpsons Bart Simpson]], [[{{Cheers}} Carla Tortelli]], [[YoungFrankenstein Frau Blücher]] {*[[{{Irony}} WHINNY]]*), and [[Film/BlazingSaddles Lili von Schtupp]]?
** Lickety-Split is [[{{Doug}} Beebe Bluff]], with Spike as [[TinyToonAdventures Buster Bunny]], and Danny is [[CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers Ma-Ti]], The Moochic is [[TheOddCouple Felix Unger]], North Star is [[PowerPuffGirls Blossum]], and [[PeterCullen Optimus Prime]] is a Grundle.

* IronyAsSheIsCast: After hearing the part of "I'll Go It Alone" where Lickety Split and Spike start trying to sing high notes but just come off as screaming, most people have assumed that Lickety Split has no hope in the music business. In real life, her voice actress, Alice Playten, has done work on Broadway and actually has something of a nice voice.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Buzz Dixon's "punch up" of the film's script would've involved one of the Little Ponies encountering some of the Transformers and G.I. Joes, more specifically, a scene where she meets the Joe sailor Shipwreck.
** It should be said that this would have been a ''little'' confusing to the target audience the first time they saw the film... and ''totally awesome'' upon rewatching it as an adult.
*** As for why the scenes were cut...well, considering the aforementioned G.I. Joe scene involved a ''drunk'' Shipwreck seeing one of the ponies while drinking, before proceeding to smash his whiskey bottle and start praying to himself, it's no small wonder Hasbro refused. Their exact response? "Very funny...'' no''".

The film bombed in theaters, but seems to have a healthy shelf life on video.

Look where life has led me to (Me too!)

* ForTheEvulz: It's never really explained ''why'' Hydia wants to destroy Ponyland except perhaps because it's sweet and pretty and happens to be there.
** Hydia does pretty much say that she and her parents lived in the area first.

* GiantSpider: Aahg, here and in the series sequel.
* HartmanHips: Draggle, here and in the series sequel. She may technically have inherited that from her mother, though her mother looks like a ball with feet now. The other women in the specials (i.e. Katrina) and the series do not have Hartman Hips.

* AllTrollsAreDifferent: [[UnusualEuphemism "Aw, Grundlemumf!"]]
* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: Hydia and her daughters. Among other things, Reeka and Draggle object to being called "cute" by the ponies.

* TheBlob: The Smooze

* DoomedHomeTown: "Ohhh, Grundle-Land!"

* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: for Reeka and Draggle.
