My Little Pony: Make Your Mark kicks off with a special 44-minute teaser episode on Netflix! Fun for the whole family, it's a great introduction to the series.
My Little Pony has been around for many years, and the latest generation of ponies - Sunny, Hitch, Pipp, Zipp, and Izzy - were introduced to fans around the world with Netflix's My Little Pony: A New Generation Movie. Now these ponies are back in a new series, coming to the streaming service in September. But for those who can't wait, fear not, the series has kicked off with a special 44-minute teaser episode that serves as the bridge between the movie and My Little Pony: Make Your Mark.
Creator: Gillian Berrow
Stars: Jenna Warren, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, JJ Gerber
The movie isn't exactly necessary to understand the new series. They do a great job of bringing viewers up to date on what has happened, who these characters are, and setting the stage for where they are going next. That being said, the movie is a lot of fun and teaches kids great lessons about inclusion and not judging a book by its cover.
These themes are also very present in this special episode, so it will surely be a continuation throughout the series. As a parent, this is greatly appreciated. I love it when my daughters can learn life lessons during their favorite shows because they don't even know they're learning. When the things kids absorb share a positive message, the whole family can enjoy them too.
While the voice actors are different for the ponies, which is very common when going from a movie to a series, it's easy to miss. Some of the fun characters from the movie are missing, however the "Mane 5" are still present. Sunny, Hitch, Pipp, Zipp and Izzy are celebrating the union of Earth ponies, Pegasi and Unicorns in a very special way: by throwing a big party!
If this reminds you of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, it should. These are different characters, but the themes and powers are very similar. Of course, this is still the same universe, so it's likely that certain characters will be mentioned in the future.
Fans are in for some amazing surprises in this special episode of My Little Pony: Make Your Mark, which I really don't want to spoil. There is laughter, fun, magic and even some singing. Hopefully the songs will be a common denominator in future episodes, because it really is great to dance to and sing along to.
