I agree with this, more or less. While I would argue that this film had one too many scenes where characters just sat around doing nothing, I feel it shined brightest in two areas: the animation, and the characters.

Animation-wise, this is definitely the most visually impressive of the EqG films thus far -- no contest. The opening and ending credits felt dynamic and fit the camp/forest theme, and everything was very colorful and poppy (especially the girls' transformation sequence). And after the letdown of the Shadowbolts in Friendship Games (at least for me), Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce were a godsend. I got heavily invested in Gloriosa's story and characterization, and Timber was unexpectedly fun to follow.

Speaking of unexpected, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually found Timber and Twilight's romance really solid. They weren't just all goo-goo eyes the whole time -- they had common interests, they had chemistry, they teased each other like dorks. I couldn't help but get invested in it.

Naturally, the songs were all great too, the writing was good, a lot of the jokes were really funny. Like you said, an all-around improvement from Friendship Games.
