Talk:My Little Pony The Movie/@comment-1031724-20171115170853

This is a lot like Digimon the Movie:

And in case you're wondering, Point 3 was the one that really stood out first and made me write this.
 * 1) Both are a movie of an animated show and got a theatrical release. (Which is the most broad of all these, since Pokemon has gotten these too)
 * 2) Both have a lot of songs. Though not unusual for either show
 * 3) Both begin with a mini-movie about a completely unrelated show. (Angela Anaconda for Digimon, and, can't remember the name, for MLP)
 * 4) Both use a completely different style of animation than the show. In Digimon it was inferior animation, in this show it was... different, not really bad but hard to get used to since the Flash animation is part of what made MLP so popular
 * 5) Both have the non-human protagonists go to lands they've never been to before. (For Digimon it was the Internet and for MLP it was the lands beyond the Badlands, such as Seaquestria)
 * 6) Both have a main villain who is a major threat (Storm King conquered/destroyed other lands and is taking over Equestria, Diaboromon tries to blow up two cities with nuclear missiles), and is killed in a less "unique/spectacular" sort of way than in the show (Diaboromon is stabbed in the head and isn't shown disintegrating as most destroyed Digimon do, and the Storm King turns to stone and shatters, no light shows like with Sombra or Midnight), yet is depicted slightly alive in non-canon segments afterwards (Diaboromon, or at least his virus half, infects Kokomon in Segment 3 of the Digimon movie which has overwhelming plot holes to Season 2, and the Storm King's eyes are shown moving in the credits, which aren't meant to be taken seriously, when he comically tries to pull himself together)
