My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic: Applejack (DVD), Shout Factory, Animation

I completely enjoyed this DVD. It's “fun on the farm” with your favorite ponies! Sounds like fun right! Literally my eyes were hooked on each episode. Three words to describe this series are - honesty, patience and of course, friendship. This amazing collection of episodes are created by Lauren Faust. I enjoyed each episode on this DVD because I really got to know what friendship means to each pony. Each episode has a different message, which creates one important message about true friendship. Each pony represents a different face of friendship. This collection follows seven friends who are tested in adventures spotlighting every pony's favorite four-hooved apple lover! Everyone learns together the meaning of friendship. Twilight Sparkle, AppleJack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, FlutterShy and Spike take you on an adventure as they experience the power and magic of true friendship. The ponies share adventures and help out other residents of Ponyville, while working out some troublesome moments in their own friendships. Its all just amazing! The lead characters are AppleJack (Ashleigh Ball), Rarity (Tabitha St. Germain), Twilight Sparkle (Tara Strong), Pinkie Pie (Andrea Libman), Spike (Cathy Weseluck), Princess Celestia (Nicole Oliver), Apple Bloom (Michelle Creber) and many more. My Favorite character is definitely AppleJack. She has such an adorable accent that made me fall in love with her! She truly defines being a leader and has a personality that cares mostly about others before herself. She teaches her friends the importance of friendship and the meaning. My favorite part is, by all odds, when AppleJack goes to a spa with Rarity, one of her best friends! Such a girly activity! The visual and animated effects definitely caught my attention. Starting from the realistic looks at the hospital, the farm that Applejack owns which looks exactly like a real Farm and the Circus which is filled with color. The circus is also full of surprises, especially the ‘magic.' It is like a magic show. I really enjoyed this scene. There is so many different messages in this collection that become one big message about friendship. A friend is a person who you are able to go to in hard times and a best friend is someone who is basically a “family” member. The ponies always treat one another kindly and each episode is kid-friendly. I give this DVD 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 6 to 10, as well as adults.
