Think about it. Critics will be judging it as a movie on its own, while fans of the show will be judging it as an MLP movie.
The brony fandom is notoriously critical, so they'll be going "The plot was taken from this episode! This character is OOC! What's Starlight doing here? This is an insult to Lauren Faust's vision!"
A lot of critics, on the other hand, won't be familiar with the show, so what will matter to them is if the plot and characterization is good on its own. And given that one of the writers worked on Mulan and Toy Story 2, it probably will have a pretty good plot and characterization. So they'll probably enjoy it more than the bronies do. (Even if there are a few critics who hate it simply for being a toy-driven film.)
EDIT: Here's a good example of what I'm talking about. Remember when I pointed out how people keep accusing Tempest of looking like an edgy OC? Well, mainstream audiences aren't going to be familiar with such OCs, so they're just going to see her as a traditional villain design, not an edgy OC design.
I know the basics of lunging and that a lot of signals are sent via body language but I can't quite figure out how to motivate my horse on the lunge. He was previously trained to lunge before I bought him and some days he goes out great w/t/c in both directions. Then there are days where he gets stubborn and doesn't want to work and closes the circle to stand next to me. These days I can barely get him to walk out, let alone canter. I've tried both a lunge whip (tapping, but not actually whipping his hip) and a stick and string but he'll just stop and turn into me. I'm standing towards his hip, using the whip to encourage from behind. We are working on lunge training right now to work on balance and fitness for the days I can't ride.
Along these same lines, I think this horse will get bored easily and I would like to work on liberty and maybe trick training in addition to our goals for low level eventing. Does anyone have any good resources on how to get started?
Pony Tax! We went to our first ever show yesterday and he was great!
