The latest DVD installment from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, released by Shout! Factory Kids in December, is a new favorite for CC.
In Adventures in the Crystal Empire, the ponies, led by bookish Twilight Sparkle, embark on another adventure that once again pits light forces against the darker ones looming over Equestria (is that the draw for the Bronie crew?), and it's up to the brave ponies—and Spike—to save the day.
In the two-part episode, the Crystal Empire is a magical place that appears in the arctic north of Equestria. The crystal ponies, not so crystal-like in the beginning, are downtrodden because of an evil overlord pony that's controlling their world.
Princess Celestia asks Twilight Sparkle to lead the charge, along with pony friends including Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Apple Jack and Fluttershy, to bring happiness back to the kingdom.
CC was completely entranced, watching as the ponies tried, made mistakes and, ultimately, *spoiler alert* saved the day.
At one point, I asked who the pink pony was. (I blame baby brain for my forgetfulness.)
CC looked at me, exasperated, and said, "Pinkie Pie! Don't you know your ponies?!"
Her favorite, though, is Fluttershy.
"Why do you like Fluttershy so much?" I asked.
"Because she's so sweet and shy," CC said.
That surprised me, given how boisterous CC is.
Regardless, the ponies came through once again, teaching CC about persistence, confidence and friendship.
