Meanwhile, the team on a quest to find the Flutter Ponies press on through Shadow Forest, where they are attacked by sentient trees which fire sharp branches at them. She is informed of the Smooze and so promises to lead them to Flutter Valley. Meanwhile, Spike, Baby Lickety-Split, and the Grundles almost fall victim to the Smooze, with Spike's tail being smoozed, but they escape but floating down the river on a log, and end up in a clearing by a well, where Baby Lickety-Split, feeling down about the situation she is in, hears echoes in the well and rescues Morning Glory, a Flutter Pony who fell in earlier. Hydia sees the Smooze has failed to kill the ponies and send her pet, Ahgg, after them. Meanwhile, on the quest to find the Flutter Ponies, Megan gets lost in a field of giant sunflowers, almost becoming a victim of the Smooze. A group lead by Megan sets out to find Flutter Valley, while Spike and Baby Lickety-Split run into five ugly but well-meaning creatures called Grundles, whose home, Grundleland, was covered by the Smooze in the past. Megan accompanies two ponies to the Moonchick (voiced by Tony Randall), who gives the trio a new home (Paradise Estate) and a map to find the Flutter Ponies who might stop the Smooze. Hydia adds this to the Smooze, which is then reactivated. The monster punishes the sisters, until Reeka bites a tentacle, thereby injuring the plant, and they escape with some flume. Enraged, Hydia discovers the Smooze was lacking flume and sends her daughters to get the missing ingredient from an octopus-like plant monster that lives on a rocky outcrop near the volcano. The ponies are discouraged by this, but Megan offers the encouragement that another rainbow lies out there. Megan releases the Rainbow into the Smooze, but it is swallowed up and lost but this does halt the Smooze. Later, the two Pegasus ponies, Wind Whistle and North Star, travel to the human world to fetch Megan (voiced by Tammy Amberson), the keeper of the Rainbow locket, bringing Megan's younger siblings, Danny (voiced by Scott Menville) and Molly, along as well. The search party continues its attempt to locate Lickety-Split before the Smooze engulfs them. All the ponies are forced to evacuate as the castle and the surrounding land are submerged by the Smooze. Hydia releases the Smooze which rages towards Dream Castle, trapping Spike and Baby Lickety-Split inside a mountain. Her daughters go and collect the ingredients for the Smooze, leaving out the flume, an ingredient that they are afraid of retrieving. It will also make anyone splashed by it grumpy and woeful. The ponies send out a search party to find Baby Lickety-Split and Spike, while Hydia decides to concoct the Smooze, an unstoppable ooze that will bury and destroy everything in its path. Meanwhile, Reeka and Draggle attempt to ruin the ponies' festival by flooding the area, but thanks to the Sea Ponies, end up getting washed away in an overflowing waterfall. She is rebuked by everyone and runs away, followed by Spike, only to end up falling down a waterfall and trapped in a valley. During the baby ponies' dance performance, Baby Lickety-Split attempts to add her own dance and ruins the whole performance. Meanwhile, at the Volcano of Gloom, a wicked witch named Hydra (voiced by Cloris Leachman) is planning to ruin the ponies festival, but her two incompetent daughters, Reeka (voiced by Rhea Perlman) and Draggle (voiced by Madeline Kahn), are not up to her family's standards of wickedness, and she laments about it, before sending them off to ruin the festival. Elsewhere, Baby Lickety-Split is practicing a new dance step, as Spike, a baby dragon, accompanies her rehearsal on the piano. So after two okay specials, will the film have something good to offer, or will it be just another fine mess? Let's go to pre-G4 MLP land to find out.Īt their home, Dream Castle, the ponies are running and playing through flowery meadows and grassy green fields with their animal friends. Despite getting relatively mixed reviews and not doing a strong performance at the box office, it was a treat for MLP fans and was the only feature film with MLP characters until 2013's Equestria Girls and the only theatrical film until 2017's My Little Pony film which I already covered. ![]() ![]() In the mid-1980's, the My Little Pony toy line was so successful that it even got itself two animated specials with a TV show that followed as well as a feature-length film that was released to cinemas in 1986.
