Compared to other animated movies this year, Id rate it around what I rated the Lego Batman movie, fun but flawed (in this case the pacing was off at points and two of the main characters got really screwed over and might as well have not been there, especially Fluttershy, in Lego Batman movies case it took the self-aware nature from the Lego Movie and pushed it further than it really needed to be pushed and so lost quite a lot of the charm the first lego movie had)
Storywise I was fine with it for the most part, it felt like a classical animated adventure movie plot, which yeah might be a bit generic but I like that kind of thing.
Actually wow thinking about it there weren't many major animated films this year. There was Cars 3 too, but I haven't seen that yet so I can't judge, other than hope that it was better than 2.
Anyway my main issue with a lot of the reviews is that they fail to articulate the pros and cons, which is what a review is supposed to do, the ones I mentioned feel ether tainted by just generally disliking bright cheery movies or just anger about it not being what THEY wanted it to be.
