Hanging with Hooves:Equestria Girls


Sir.Flutter Hooves

Hello!

 

Thanks for checking out a new blog I'm starting called Hanging With Hooves. A blog where I talk about Movies, Shows, and preety much everything else in this wide wide world of Equestria. Today, the topic is Equestria Girls review. I just got back, so here's the review.

 

Ponies we see as humans

 

1. The Mane 6

 

2. Vinyl Scratch

 

3. The CMC

 

4. Big Mac

 

5. Trixie

 

6. Miss Cherilee

 

7.Celestia and Luna (great character designs.)

9. Flash Sentry sleep.png

 

10. The Cakes

 

11. Snips and Snails

 

12. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

 

 

Equestria Girls was simply fantastic. The movie started out with a dubstep remix of the original MLP theme song with fantastic animation to follow along. It then cuts to the ponies in the Crystal Empire with Celestia, Luna, and Cadence.All three talking about how they have'nt seen Twilight since the cordonation and how glad they are to be back together. It's around night during this time, so of course all of them go to sleep.

 

In Twilight's room she is having difficulty with her wings, saying how just because she has them doesn't make her a good ruler. Worrying about her wings, and either or not Celestia will give her a kingdom to rule over (hint hint) she goes to sleep. But not that easily, her wings keep popping up causing her covers to go swinging in the air and her havinf trouble sleeping. I love this, because it's actually showing Twilight's reaction to her wings, and a little hint from the staff that Twilight will give up her wings.

 

As she's asleep, the film shows a mysterious stranger in a black cloak sneeking through the Canterlot Castle, avoiding guards and eventually going into Twilight's room where we see it's Sunset Shimmer. She replaces the element of harmony crown with a fake one and stealing it, and bringing it back to the human world. Twilight finds out and goes to Celestia. Celestia tells Twilight that Sunset was her old student, that she studied with right before Twilight. When Sunset didn't get he way, she turned evil and ran away into the human world (which is found in a mirro). Twilight has to go back throught the mirror, where Spike follows leading up to Dog spike and Human Twilight.

 

One of my favorite things was how Twilight got adjusted to the human world, how she hobbled on her two legs, how she ran as a horse, and of course how she ate the apple with her mouth. As she travles through Canterlot, she finds the human vesions of her friends, which seem to hate each other. We late find out that Sunsset Shimmer destyed thei fiendship to get the crown. Twilight units the human elements of harmony and they help Twilight run of the Princess of the Fall Formal. The 6 humans, help Twilight win, but not before Sunset Shimmer ruins the dance, and does some other horrible stuff. After Twilight wins, Snips and Snails steal the pup named Spike, leading to one of the most intense fight scenes between Devil Sunset Shimmer (she turns into a devil when the crown is on he head) and Twilight Spakle and the gang. It was a simple fantstic movie, with catchy songs, great animation, and fantastic voice acting.

 

The Pros of Equestria Girls

 

1. Many shoutouts to the original show and the fandom. Such as Scootaloo doing the Chicken Dance, Derpy at the end dancing with her muffin, Trixie being great and powerful, and probably my favoite the CMC making a music video and it being JUST liek the Cutie Mark Crusaders theme song, and of couse Derpy with her muffin, and Pinkie wishing she had a party cannon.

 

2. The human versions of the Mane 6 kept the ponies' personalities just fantastically. Rarity was as fabulous as always, RD was as sporty as ever, Pinkie was simply hilarious, Fluttershy was as cute and quiet as always, and Applejack was as honest as ever. Loved the characters.

 

3. The music. Simply fantastic, Ingram has done it again.

 

4. Voice Acting was great, simply awesome.

 

5. The love that Spike has for human Rarity was hilarious! Best part of the show.

 

6. The human Mane 6 loose their tales, ears, and wings. I'm glad, because it would have been weird if they kept them.

 

7. Sunset was reformed at the end, where the human Mane 6 acepted them into her group.

 

8. Sisterly love between scoots and RD

 

9. Loved how FLuttershy reacted to Twilight asking what her name is, like the first episode, and how she came out of her shell when she saw puppy spike like the first episode.

 

The Cons of Equestria Girls

 

1. Celestia, not even once explained why and how the mirror was built and whee it came from.

 

2. When Twilight told the Mane 6 humans that she was actually a pony pincess and Spike told him that he was actually a dragon and they just believed her! Not a lot of people would believe the peson who just told them that they were a pony.

 

3. The way RD, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Fluttershy react to their new pony tails, ears, and wings. The problem was they don't react! They just go with it, which most people wouldn't do.

 

4. Flash and Twilight do have something going on, but, he will sadly not be in the Season 4, so where will her go?

 

5. Human Pinkie says "Do you have a twin sister name Twilight who has a pet dog named Spike who lives in the city?" So there is a human Twilight, but where is she?

 

 

The movie was simply fantastic, the songs were great, and the voice acting was superb. I hope they explor the human world some more, and continue with this great story line. Great job Meghan, you wrote what I though was gonna be a crappy movie into a simply great one.

 

If you have any questions about EQuestria Girls, or if I left anything out tell me in the comments below. Also, what movie should I do next? Give me suggestions below.

Please tell me RD was represented well in the movie. Please. Anyway, it sounds pretty good. Thanks for posting this! smile.png

She was represented the best of the Mane 6 humans. She kept her in your face attitude and her sporty attitude. She was probably the best human character.

Solid review! I would add 'forced Flash Sentry love scenes' and Luna and Celestia's characters.to cons, but it's your review and your opinion. 

 

On a stylistic note, there are an abundance of typos, one or two is forgivable, but, too many can distract from your point. 

 

I agree with most of what you said, but the pacing and the ending, kept me from loving it as much as I could have. Great moments throughout the movie were, sadly, connected by cliches and awful plot holes, hampering the flow and feel of the movie. 

 

Should our suggestions be pony related.

I will go back and correct the mistakes, thank you for posting. Some times I just type and forget to looks. XD

 

I agree, there were moments that felt forced. I hated that all the girls had to wear skirts, but again it is highscool. Thanks for you feedback!

Yeah, sounds about right.  Though I think another con would be Celestia and Luna's human designs.

I actually really liked their design. I thought they were probably the best of the human designs, just my thoughts though.

Well as for them believing her so fast she did have a talking dog that proves something in its self there was a little disbelief but they trusted her enough to accept the truth. And after sunset simmer turned into a devil the wings,ears,tails were almost no surprise at this point from all the weird stuff going on. One of the best thing in this movie was that flash won't be in season 4 not one like him I mean I believe in giving everyone a chance but...twilight should not get a love interest except in its one of her main friend or even spike would be better and I see him will rarity o trixie there's one more but no flash a lot of people would hate that me included. The last thing is yes there another twilight this is set in a human world were not all of the main 6 have met am sure shortly after a new twilight will show up and make friends with them or maybe not its possible the twilight won't ever know the rest pinkie pie might have either meet the other twilight once or just saw her walk by same with spike idk if her dog can talk or what LOL!!!

thank you am going to respect your shiping ideas but i just think he's kind of plain and i'd like to see him shiped with a whole new character just like how shining armor and princess cadence were presented i mean they should pair the characters they already have togther it show lots of characters growth and change and builds on the meaningful relationship they all share for me as far as rarity gose's she has to choices spike or applejack both would be just perfect from all the foundation layed thoughout the show and story at core.

Wow. Even though I haven't seen EqG yet, thanks for posting this! I've read the summary and I can't wait for it! I also love how the personalities match completely.

nice review bro i do have one little nit pick with the mirror though 

 

we cannot forget that this show is meant first and foremost for little girls and including an explanation as to why the mirror exists and why they have the princesses have it  would just confuse them.

 

other than that you are pretty much spot on about everything else

Yea, that's a pretty good reason. I guess little girls would get confussed with the back story. Thanks for the compliments! :D

Am I'm the only one who thought Rarity's disguise for Twilight looked like Tara Strong? Mostly the blonde wig but it just had the TS feel about it.
