My mother, who I tricked to see the film, said also it was quite dark. Mauled by any animal is a life long problem. Your looking at weeks of recovery for just the injury alone. Then there is the whole damaged horn, essentially making her permanently disabled for life...

From a mother's POV she was surprised they even featured it, as child injury is a no-no in general, some companies don't even featured a disabled child because of the implications. Soccer mums feel a child should be bubble wrapped and protected from the cruelty of the real world. Even Disney doesn't actually really have kids get injured, loose their parents sure, but injuries... It tends to be a TV Disney thing, not a movie thing.

I had to explain to my mother... MLP movies were also this dark, when you think about just the very first one. IT was only really G3 that you saw it really being ghastly cutesy... In the end, my mother remembers both the first movie and things like the Schmooze and agreed... Yes, MLP is strangely dark at times, always has been, even MLP Pony Tales was dark at times.
