Well technically this is meant for little girls.

There's just a higher standard set for the TV show...

That's basically what I was thinking. This was intended to entertain young children. It probably did that. It's probably harder to do the wide appeal with a live show, given the fact that many of the things that add to the broad appeal (animation, subtle and/or background references, etc) don't translate well, or at all to a live show.

As to the specific complaints above,
-I'm not sure what the deal with Applejack's hat is outside the show, though the added height in this case would probably be a bad idea.
-They do have cutie marks, but they're only on one side of the costume (which side that is seems to be inconsistent from one costume to the next). Seems that could have been better handled, but they ARE there.
-They look a little dumb, yeah, the designs look like they're more based on the toys than the show, which isn't helping matters. They are however recognizable as the characters they're supposed to be, even at a fair bit of distance, which is important at a live event.
-I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that the actors in the suits were doing the voices, and there are only going to be so many people that qualify to do both things. They sound more like the characters than the live Ronald McDonald I saw as a kid did.
-The scripting is one of my bigger issues with this, but it did what it was supposed to, and as previously mentioned, a lot of the things that appeal to us aren't practical live. Also, given the utter lack of writing quality in anything else non-show, it's not really surprising.

Could this have been better? Yeah, but it did what they set out to do.
