By far, the most fun movie of the year. It was a lot of really funny jokes, a great soundtrack, the writing, the chemistry between the actor is , and (much like in the first two episodes of "Friendship is Magic") they way they have these oddball and mismatched characters becoming the best of friends and deciding to go on adventures and fight evil together is actually very well done and well-written. And, if you stay after the ending credits, you'll witness a character you never expected to see in another movie return to the silver screen after 19 years... Spoiler: SPOILERS!!!
Howard gets more Cameo's in the second one. I don't remember seeing Cosmo anywhere but the credits. Still the second movie was just as good as the first and a must see.
