When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I had to watch this movie whilst babysitting my little cousin and i have to say that without a doubt this is one of, if not the WORST film i have ever seen. The entire premise of the movie is like reading one of those creepy generic fan fictions where stock A animal goes to the human world. STORY From what i gathered, Mary sue stereotype "Twilight Sparkle" is sent to the human world to retrieve a crown or something and has to cope with an American high school. Along the way she makes friends and at the end of the film she fights a devil or something. I kind of blanked out half way through the movie as i got bored MAIN CRITICISM One main criticism i had with the film was the way the characters were drawn. If you look at the characters in the movies they are all drawn really really weirdly. It was like the entire movie was drawn by a horny member of the fan base and they wanted to see what they could get away with. It might just be me with that problem so i wont let that one be the deal breaker for me. However the rest of the film made me feel bored. Since i am a 16 going on 17 years old , i knew going in i wasn't going to like it, but i didn't know it was going to be this bad... SPOILERS At one point in the movie, "Twilight" (that is the only name i know apart from rainbow dash) has to be voted prom queen or something so she can get the crown (why she didn't just steal it from the school office or beat the living daylights out of the antagonist whilst she was in human form and take the crown like any normal person would do, i don't know) so in order to win over the mind of her classmates, her and her friends sing a song in the canteen (or cafeteria) essentially saying "vote for twilight". That single scene killed any enjoyment i had for the film. If that happened at my school, all the kids would shout "SHUT THE **** UP" and at the end of school day all the girls would go round the back of the school and batter them. One other problem i had with the film was the ending. Actually i have to say a positive as i was rather impressed at the style in which they drew the big devil, i thought it was cool. But it does not depart from the fact the climax of the film was utterly dull and boring. MORE SPOILERS So when Twilight gets crowned prom queen, the little Spyro ripoff gets nicked by two teens, they take him outside and the flaming haired girl threatens to destroy the portal to the pony world if she doesn't get the crown. Twilight (from now on i just gonna say Tara ) refuses and there is a big sort of skirmish. Finally fire head gets hold of the crown and turns into a devil. However with the magical power of friendship, Tara and her friends grow cat ears and hair extensions (some of them have wings) and defeats the devil in a span of seven and a half minutes, with no fight or battle, just a magical rainbow blast and that's it (one nitpick i had with scene is that if a great big rainbow blast thing occurring in a suburban area, you'd think the authorities would get involved).By the end of the film Tara goes home, fiery haired girl learns her lesson and they live happily ever after. CONCLUSION This really is a film for small children, and i honestly do not see why this and the TV show its based off of is regarded with such praise. Its dull, predictable and bland. If this were my film, a portal to Wolfenstein would open up and Tata and her mates would team up with BJ Blaskovich and battle mecca robots.

This movie was only made to make money like the Barbie Dolls or American Girl Dolls. Sadly though like Planes they worried more about the toys and less about the film which brings this movie crashing down.~ There are plots in the movie that are never addressed. Example: Like Why did Celestia want to see Twilight Sparkle in the first place? Why couldn't she have asked/ tried to convince Principal Celestia to switch out the fake crown and the real crown?~ The songs are forgettable pop songs that I wouldn't pay 99 cents for if they were on I-tunes.~The plot is so clique that, it kind of hurts that this is related to My Little Pony. Tell me if this sounds familiar: a new female girl joins a school and has to become popular in order to beat the mean girl. So she gathers a team of unlikely heroes while bringing the school closer than ever. Yeah, that's what this story is. The TV show was creative with the mythology and how this world works in its own unique way. This is another boring high school movie that we've all seen before. Even the Barbie Diaries was more realistic. At least the pacing was better. ~ The characters in this movie are boring. Even Pinkie Pie isn't very funny in this movie. She can be crazy all she wants but crazy doesn't guarantee good comedy. The others are all boring one dimensional people/ ponies.~ Like I mentioned before I think the pacing of this movie is its biggest downfall. One minute the girls are all mad and hate each other then the next thing they do is hug and laugh with each other. What is the point of having them as enemies if you were going to bring them together in less than a few minutes? Plus how does Twilight Sparkle resolve bringing the school together clique? By singing a song about working together clique. Sorry but that just seemed too out of place. I know in the show they sing but in this movie it doesn't work.The reason I give it one star is that at least the animation is okay if not weird but aside from that skip the movie and go watch the cartoon.(Also nothing that happens in this movie has any impact on the story ark in the show. They act like this movie never even happened.)

Finally, the best flash cartoon has been made into a TV movie. The ponies come back in the Crystal Empire, for a while after Season 3. It seems to be connected before Season 4. A former student runs into a fictive human suburb with Twilight's big crown thingy. Twilight runs after the villain and becomes a human, and Spike a dog. The Secret of My Excess episode with Spike mistaken for a dog became canon. Twilight must learn to be human, and she meets with her other human friends from Equestria too. Of violence Sunset Shimmer the villain faces Twilight and her friends the end. Trixie's sidekicks Snips and Snails are meaner but still funny too. Twilgiht nearly kicks a vending machine. To a surprise Twilight has a crush in both worlds. The ponies look very nice looking as humans, in my opinion. Anybody who loved the 2010 cartoon should get treated to this film.

Toys! Toys! Toys! That's all Hasbro cares about, who cares if it ruins a show people love! Hooray! Equestria Girls was Awful! There was no effort whatsoever - except in the animation; THAT'S IT!In case you don't know what it's about, Princess Twilight goes into the human world because Celestia's former student, Sunset Shimmer, steals her crown and takes it to the human world. There Twilight is sent to high school and goes through all the high school clichés you could possibly imagine: outcast, bullied, friends with outcast, becomes popular, gets a boyfriend - the bully's ex-boyfriend (does that sound familiar?), and being Fall Formal Princess. It is the clichés that ruin the whole story. At least with Mean Girls, they developed a better storyline - even if it was exaggerated; the same could be said for High School Musical, which is less annoying compared to this. The story could have been great, but it is horrible! For starters, the clichés, solving problems in the blink of an eye, and more. I've gone through the clichés in the previous paragraph, here's problem solving: The five friends (who are humans) Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Applejack hate each other, but then a few words from Twilight and they're friends again! That's not how you mend a friendship! Like for example if you know Applejack and Rainbow Dash, you know they are highly competitive against each other, so when they're attempting to mend their friendship on the distant soccer fields we see them hug! Did I forget to mention that they are highly competitive and demand an apology from each other for whatever unexplained reason, and just because Twilight says to talk it out they instantly solve it in a second? That's not how fixing a broken relationship works! What I hate even worse was that while the story was trying to be original it ended up being more clichéd than original, I'm specifically talking about the cafeteria song. Oh I want to bang my head against the wall just hearing that song! Sunset Shimmer is the most popular girl in the high school, and Twilight needs to desperately win the crown back for the Fall Formal. So how do they get this brand new girl who never registered for class to be even more popular? By putting on a flashmob in the cafeteria and singing how differences are awesome, and how Twilight's differences outshine Sunset Shimmer. If someone sang that to you, would you even buy that and vote for them just because someone sang to you how differences make you ten times better than someone you've already known? It doesn't work like that! Even as a non realistic film it makes no sense. Also when Twilight reveals to her friends that she's a pony in human form and they're instantly cool with it! If your closest friend told you he/she was a pony in human form, is that how you would react? It's too weird to think about, but the story must rush; no time to have any real developed reactions! Even if a movie was 90 minutes long, it would be enough time to go into real character development and emotions. That's what I hate about this film: how rushed everything is, there's no time to enjoy anything, and it is just another excuse for Hasbro to make more toys out of My Little Pony!However, to be fair, the only thing I really enjoy is the animation. It still looks beautiful, even the designs of the mane six looks great. Aside from that, there is nothing valuable to enjoy. Don't throw in the "It's a kid's film" line, because whether it was made for kids or adults, this film has no excuse for how bad and pointless it is!
