So alternate worlds, DC comics has Infinte Crisis, Marvel has Secret Wars but MLP:FiM has... the human world. The film re-envisions the main characters of the series, normally ponies, as human characters in a high school setting. The film's plot involves the pony Twilight Sparkle pursuing her stolen crown into an alternate world where she transforms into a human, teenage girl. While learning how to behave as a human, yeah.... what could go wrong? The King Of Depravity here and today My Little Pony: Equestria Girls. Let's Rock! No seriously... also put some swag music on and let's get reviewing.

Story and Characters- Set after the events of the show's third season finale, the newly crowned Princess Twilight Sparkle visits the Crystal Empire with her Ponyville friends for a royal summit. That night, Twilight's crown and Element of Magic is stolen by the unicorn Sunset Shimmer, a former student of Celestia. Twilight must travel alone, Twilight's dragon assistant Spike anxiously jumps in after her as she enters the mirror. In the other world, Twilight and Spike are transformed into a teenage human girl and dog, respectively. While struggling to adjust to her new body, Twilight investigates the nearby Canterlot High School where she encounters several human students and faculty members resembling ponies in Equestria, including her friends Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. She befriends the five girls, helping to bridge the animosity that Sunset had created between them in the years prior to Twilight's arrival. Twilight discovers that Fluttershy found the crown and gave it to Celestia, the school principal, who mistakes it for a prop meant for the elected Princess of the upcoming Fall Formal. Twilight decides to run for Fall Formal Princess against Sunset to retrieve the crown. Sunset tries sabotaging Twilight's campaign first by uploading a humiliating online video of Twilight behaving like a pony, and later framing her for wrecking the formal decorations in the school gymnasium. However, Twilight's new friends, including Sunset's ex-boyfriend Flash Sentry, help counter these ploys and improve Twilight's popularity among the students.

 

At the formal, Twilight wins the election and the crown, but Sunset steals it after threatening to destroy the portal to Equestria. Upon donning the crown, Sunset transforms into a demonic creature and uses her newfound powers to brainwash much of the student body into becoming her army with which to invade Equestria. When Sunset attacks Twilight, her friends race to save her, evoking the crown's magic that protects them and temporarily gives them pony-like attributes. The magic of their friendship reverts Sunset to her human form and breaks her spell on the other students. Sunset becomes repentant, and Twilight asks her friends to look after Sunset in her absence. Twilight spends time celebrating with her friends at the formal before she and Spike take the crown through the portal, which closes behind them. Twilight and Spike return to Equestria, transforming back to their original forms on arrival and reuniting with their Ponyville friends. As you can see alot happened...

 

Twilight Sparkle and Mane 6- Twilight as a 'human' self was really likable in this film and it was nice to see her meet her friends again. As a character she was well written and the interaction between the mane 6 was very well done, but the run time was extended because Twilight needed to adapt to our 'human world', although this the comedy and interaction between the Mane 6 was well done. Not much else i can really say. Just watch MLP:Silver Quill he elaborates on what i say....

 

Animation & Sound- The music for the movie is really good, but not as good as it should be. Let me explain, the music feels like it's part of a teen drama series (not Teen Wolf) and is very 'misplaced' unlike it's far better sequel. Although that 'Equestria Girls (Cafeteria Song)' is really amazing balls! Other than that the music doesn't feel 'right' but still good songs. Animation wise this was pretty decent, nothing to note worthy though...

 

Villian- Sunset Shimmer, the main antagonist of the movie. She is a bitter unicorn and Princess Celestia's former apprentice, who steals Princess Twilight's crown in a bid for power over both the human world and Equestria. Yeah she felt under used as a villian and not that 'threating' other than what she did to the school, but she looks amazing!

Final Verdict- On the one hand this movie feels a little rushed but on the other hand it is still enjoyable to watch. If i would say this movie isnt the best it could offer, but the sequel is FAR better so yeah...

Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna need to lose the lipstick. Badly.

Yes! They never looked good with them and it just makes their appearance uglier for it.

Heck, they don't even have to lose the lipstick; just shrink it enough to where they don't have Ms. Pac-Man faces.
