My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: Season One [Amazon Exclusive]

Excellent! Now I can finally watch on TV a five star series that I have previously only able to watch on the computer.

I promptly received my order only to find that the padded bag rattled. Fearing that the DVDs were damaged during shipment I opened the bag. The cardboard sleeve was undamaged, very good artwork by the by. The plastic wrap was also undamaged. However the plastic clam-shell was. If you consider the clam-shell a mouth, mine was missing its front teeth. Leaving a 0.5cm x 7cm hole. It was obviously damaged in the factory, very poor quality control on the manufacturer’s part. Since the clam-shell can close and the DVDs are undamaged, I won't bother getting it replaced.

Since the DVD set is an Amazon Exclusive I expected a bare bones package. While English is the only language available. If it had French, I would have bought one for my niece for Christmas. The package claims to have a few bonus features: Sing-alongs, coloring sheets and audio commentaries. It has 2 songs you can sing along with, one of them an extended version of the opening song. 5 coloring sheets you can print out. Fans of Fluttershy are going to be disappointed. As for the audio commentaries, there are no audio commentaries. At least what I consider to be audio commentaries. What it does have is six 30 seconds promos. Advertising that features a major character with the voice of Twilight Sparkle, ahem, “commenting” about that character.

One thing I particularly liked about this DVD set is that you can skip the opening song. Not all season packs allow you to do that. Should be a standard in my opinion. However, you can't do that with the 23rd episode. Sloppy that.

All in all, a terrific series in a DVD set that exceeded my expectation but was flawed. I can only give it 4 stars.

My little pony FIM is not only a good kids cartoon, but also a great animated show on its own. Much like Lion King or Toy Story, i recommend this product to people at all ages.

The audio commentary alone is worth buying this dvd set. It's fantastic being able to hear some things about the show behind the scenes. The dvd menu is awesome as well.

My only issue is that when I received the dvd through the mail, the case was cracked and broken. Not a deal breaker, as the dvds themselves were unharmed.

Definitely pick this up!
