MLP Merch at Dutch My Little Pony The Movie Premiere

We arrived way too early for the event to start, but we were so excited that we didn't care! From the entrance of the theater we saw a corner with bright colors, and we knew we were at the right place. A large background with 3D figures of Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle decorated the hallway along with some posters and flags from the movie.

Children took their photos with the ponies while we all waited for the main room to open. Over the area there was a bridge of balloons, decorated with some balloon ponies, which were hilarious to see!

After a few minutes of waiting we were queuing up for the experience room...

The queue went pretty fast, and we received our movie tickets, as well as a cute Twilight Sparkle stamp on our hands, and we were ready to go the the main room for everyone to play before the movie started.
This room was actually pretty dark on it's own, with black walls and black carpet, but the company hosting the premiere did a very good job on adding some color and friendliness to the room, which started directly at the beginning: sparkle face paint! Ilona got some blue glitters and a purple headband with pony ears.

After the entrance there were two large background banners for My Little Pony the Movie where people could get their photo taken. They arranged professional photographers with Polaroid cameras, and it was cute to see children warm up the film after the photo was taken, since most of them never heard of Polaroids. While the parents took care of 'developing' the photos further children had the chance to do some coloring, create a bracelet or play games with the My Little Pony crew.

It got a bit crowded after some time, and we guess the total amount of people in the room went up to about 150, but not long after it was finally time for the movie to start!

While going up the escalator we saw a huge stand with all kinds of bottles and buckets we haven't seen before, but this was only for display, bummer! We went around the corner and saw that the crew was handing out popcorn and drinks for all viewers, which was very thoughtful. Some of the bottles and buckets were on display there too, but this time with a sign saying "My Little Pony products available in theater shop". Really!? And off Ilona went to the shop to score some! The bucket was only available pre-filled with popcorn, so we had quite some food to chew on during the movie, but it was worth it! Alongside the bucket she also got a Rarity bottle.

Once we found our seat it was a short wait for the movie to start, and.... It was amazing! The quality, the story, the characters, we were amazed by the movie! As mentioned earlier, we are not going to post any spoilers about the movie itself, but all we can say is that Tempest Shadow was Ilona's favorite character, and Grubber was mine.

After the movie ended we had to leave for another event, but we didn't forget to grab a goodiebag, which we've reviewed on film. Enjoy the review below!

And before we forget it: We'd like to thank Hasbro, The PR Factory, Intertoys and Kinopolis for the invitation, event and unforgettable film!
