My Little Pony is a popular children's animated television series that follows the adventures of a group of magical ponies in the land of Equestria. The show has gained a cult following among children and adults alike due to its catchy songs, vibrant animation, and positive messages about friendship and teamwork. One of the most beloved aspects of the show is its DVD releases, particularly the "Friendship is Magic" collection. These DVDs compile multiple episodes from the series into one convenient package, allowing fans to enjoy their favorite episodes without needing to switch between different discs or streaming platforms. The "Friendship is Magic" DVD collection features a variety of episodes from different seasons, showcasing the diverse characters and storylines that make up the world of Equestria. From the colorful and energetic Rainbow Dash, to the kind and caring Fluttershy, each episode introduces viewers to a unique pony and teaches them valuable lessons about love, kindness, and understanding.
Don’t expect anything even remotely as funny in “The Willie Witch Projects,” though. It follows three black filmmakers in search of the mythical Willie Witch public housing project that’s supposedly built in the mythical woods outside of South Central LA. John is the ambitious leader of the operation, Double D is a money-hungry buffoon and Eugene is a ridiculous gay stereotype. You better believe he’s sassy! The jokes are so obvious, some are even used in other episodes in The Bogus Witch Project (reaffirming its feel as a contest, with no creative flow between segments).
The only hints that there might be some money or juice behind the scenes are the appearance of Shore in the titular sketch and the relatively well-made if only slightly less annoying than Robot Chicken faux commercials that run between the films, featuring comedians like Michael Ian Black and Jerry Minor. In Burkittsville in the 1940s, an old hermit named Rustin Parr came down from the Black Hills Forest saying he was finished -- he d killed seven children in his woodland home and blamed their deaths on the Blair Witch.
From the colorful and energetic Rainbow Dash, to the kind and caring Fluttershy, each episode introduces viewers to a unique pony and teaches them valuable lessons about love, kindness, and understanding. The DVD collection also includes bonus features such as behind-the-scenes interviews with the show's creators, animators, and voice actors. These behind-the-scenes glimpses give fans an inside look into the making of the show and offer additional insights into the characters and their development.
The Bogus Witch Project (2000)
Ah, the year 2000. ‘Twas a simpler time: pre-9/11, pre-dot-com bubble burst, pre-Dancing With the Stars. Back then, Britney Spears’s vagina was still intact, Rosie O’Donnell was still the sexually ambiguous “Queen of Nice” and Blair Witch Project spoofs were still a viable form of artistic expression. Looking at it today, The Bogus Witch Project is dated, insipid and unfunny, but back then, it was…just insipid and unfunny.
I’m not sure how this movie — which gathers five short Blair Witch parodies — came about, but it feels like the result of a contest to win lunch with Pauley Shore or something. As you can expect, the entries are amateurish and uninspired. The only hints that there might be some money or juice behind the scenes are the appearance of Shore in the titular sketch and the relatively well-made (if only slightly less annoying than Robot Chicken) faux commercials that run between the films, featuring comedians like Michael Ian Black and Jerry Minor.
Among their many problems, the spoofs are too Los Angeles-specific, featuring titles like “The Bel Air Witch Project,” “The Griffith Witch Project” and “The Watts Bitch Project.” As you might suspect, the latter finds three white filmmakers going to the mostly black “hood” of Watts to investigate an urban legend about a killer crackhead. Easy gags abound, from attempts by the white kids to “be down” to the stereotyped thugs and pimps to jokes involving 40-ounce malt liquor bottles and crack pipes. The only time I cracked a smiled was when Hillary reassures the guys by reasoning, “Watts is in South Central. If we keep going north, we gotta hit white people some time…or at least Koreans.”
Don’t expect anything even remotely as funny in “The Willie Witch Projects,” though. It follows three black filmmakers in search of the mythical Willie Witch public housing project that’s supposedly built in the mythical woods outside of South Central LA. John is the ambitious leader of the operation, Double D is a money-hungry buffoon and Eugene is a ridiculous gay stereotype. You better believe he’s sassy! The jokes are so obvious, some are even used in other episodes in The Bogus Witch Project (reaffirming its feel as a contest, with no creative flow between segments).
“The Blair Underwood Project,” easily the worst of the ones not starring Pauley Shore, doesn’t actually contain any black characters, but it revolves around three out-of-work actors looking to deliver a script to Blair Underwood. No doubt valuing his career, Underwood doesn’t appear. There isn’t time in these short films to establish any character or story depth, but there is enough time to be funny…and none of them manage to do so. They all follow the basic Blair Witch structure: optimistic searching, getting lost, panicking, hearing noises at night, the close-up “I’m so sorry” speech and the final “standing in a corner” shot. Once through this familiar territory is enough. Five times is just cruel.
Frankly, the most interesting part of the Bogus Witch DVD is that there’s a hidden Easter egg feature: a ’70s O.J. Simpson documentary — entitled, prophetically enough, Juice on the Loose — directed by George Romero! Anyone up for a sequel?
“When I’m drunk, it says FUBU.” “Can’t a man rape a tree in peace. ” You should see Florida. Security camera footage of The Great Pillsbury Massacre of ’91. Pauley Shore, professional ass. The press couldn’t get enough of Pam’s dildo hat.
One of the standout aspects of the "Friendship is Magic" DVD collection is its high-quality animation and sound design. The bright, vivid colors and smooth animation bring the world of Equestria to life, immersing viewers in a magical and enchanting experience. The carefully crafted sound design, including the catchy theme song and voice acting, further enhances the viewing experience and adds to the overall enjoyment of the show. In conclusion, the "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" DVD collection is a must-have for any fan of the show. With its engaging storytelling, positive messages, and vibrant animation, the DVDs offer the perfect opportunity to immerse oneself in the world of Equestria and join the ponies on their many adventures. Whether you're a child or a child at heart, the "Friendship is Magic" DVDs are sure to bring joy and laughter to your home..

I recently purchased the "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic" DVD for my daughter, hoping she would enjoy it. However, I was disappointed with the content.

I was excited to try out the "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic" DVD, as my friends had raved about it. However, I found it to be overly cutesy and saccharine. The characters lacked depth and the plotlines were predictable. The animation style was also not to my liking, appearing too simplistic and childish. While I understand it is a show for young children, I was hoping for a bit more substance. Unfortunately, this DVD did not meet my expectations, and I would not watch it again.

As a parent, I was hoping to find a show that would be both entertaining for my child and enjoyable for me to watch together. However, "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic" missed the mark for me. The episodes felt formulaic and repetitive, lacking originality and creativity. The animation style was bright and colorful, but the stories themselves failed to capture my interest. The show seemed to lack depth and substance, leaving me unimpressed. I would not recommend this DVD as a top choice for family entertainment.
