If your little one is a fan of button-eyed dolls, colorful worlds, and adorable ponies, then Lalaloopsy Ponies: The Big Show is a movie that absolutely needs to go on your family movie night list. This sweet animated film brings together two things kids love. Specifically, these are the beloved Lalaloopsy characters and a brand-new herd of talking ponies. The story is equal parts charming and heartwarming.
What Is Lalaloopsy Ponies: The Big Show?
Lalaloopsy Ponies: The Big Show is the third Lalaloopsy movie and was the first of three Lalaloopsy films released in 2014. It’s based on the Lalaloopsy Ponies spin-off toy line and runs about 46 minutes. This makes it a perfect length for younger viewers.
What’s the Story About?
When a herd of talking ponies arrives in Lalaloopsy Land, Peanut and her friends are happy to help them put on a carnival, complete with a carousel. Peanut gets the chance to meet her pen pal, Checkers. Along with her friends Jamberry, Snap Pea, and Tangerine, she is eager to put on a show. But there’s a hitch. Their caravan and carousel need rebuilding, so Ace is there to help!
The result is a colorful, fast-paced adventure about pulling together, getting to know new friends, and making something magical happen. This happens even when things don’t go according to plan.
What Are the Themes and Messages?
This is one of those movies that sneaks in wonderful life lessons without feeling preachy. Lalaloopsy Ponies: The Big Show offers positive messages about teamwork, etiquette, being a good host, and working toward a common goal. Characters mean well and strive to be nice, kind, and inclusive. Viewers even get to learn about planning a garden party and rehearsing for a show.
The core message is that friends don’t always like the same things, and that’s what makes friendship special. This is one kids (and parents!) can really take to heart.
Is It Good for Kids?
Absolutely. This is a visual feast for a preschooler with bright colors, doll-like characters complete with button eyes, and lots of fast-paced action and dreamy backdrops. The TV-G rating means it’s appropriate for all ages. Additionally, the runtime is short enough to hold even the squirmiest toddler’s attention.
Parents, just be warned: the main concern is that this film feeds a direct desire for more merchandise in the Lalaloopsy world. So you may find yourself browsing for Lalaloopsy Ponies toys before the credits finish rolling!
Where Can You Watch It?
Lalaloopsy Ponies: The Big Show is available on Amazon Prime Video and has also been available on Netflix. It can also be found on DVD, making it easy to add to your family’s collection for repeated viewings. And trust us, there will be repeated viewings.
Lalaloopsy Ponies: The Big Show is exactly what it promises to be – a bright, sweet, fun animated movie that celebrates friendship, creativity, and the joy of putting on a show. It’s not high cinema, but it’s genuinely delightful for its target audience. Furthermore, the themes of cooperation and kindness make it a movie parents can feel good about, too. If you’ve got a Lalaloopsy fan at home, this one is a must-watch!
My great niece would love this, not only does she have Lalaloopsy dolls, dvd’s, but she wants her own real pony. This would be a win, win
This sounds like a fun show, and I bet my daughter would love this dvd.
