Equestria Girls was a surprise to everyone when it was released, because now the ponies turn human, as if it were dimensional travel. Well, at least we have more of this saga. I enjoyed the movie and when it was released on Discovery Kids, I still remember it. What I say is nostalgia.

I understand some people think this movie is not their type. But some fans will like this also.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Last Winter the first images of Equestria Girls were revealed. I was not pleased at first, but as the spring came I was more hyped by seeing the trailers. Alicorn Twilight ends up in a human World after chasing the unicorn villain Sunset Shimmer. Twilight and her friends are humans in this version. Now it's up to Twilight to win her crown back. There are many so many highlights. You don't have to be a hardcore Brony like me to watch this movie. Here is something for everyone like light pop songs, focus on a high school bully that turns into a succubus, a soccer match and lots of shout outs. Derpy shows up at the end. It's no 12 times Oscar nom winner, but a lighthearted fantasy. If only Lyra had a bigger role.… Expand

Not bad. I expected a poor and boring movie for little girls but this is a overall not bad movie. Etertaining if you wanna watch a cartoon movie and you liked My Little Pony.

Well, this movie was...interesting. At first I was extremely sceptical. I mean: Ponies turn into real humans? That is weird. But after I've seen it, I have to say: It's not that bad. I'm going to split my rating in some parts.

PLOT Yes, the plot...not really amazing: Sunset ShimmerWell, this movie was...interesting. At first I was extremely sceptical. I mean: Ponies turn into real humans? That is weird. But after I've seen it, I have to say: It's not that bad. I'm going to split my rating in some parts.

PLOT
Yes, the plot...not really amazing: Sunset Shimmer steals Element of Magic, flees into "real World", Twilight follows her, meets her friends' human versions....rest is spoilers It's okay, but not really good.

Animation/Style
A negative point. Animation is good as always BUT: Humans are not supposed to have purple/pink/orange/etc. skin! This is just weird! I understand that they wanted to show the characters as humans but not like that...

Songs
The songs are okay. I will list them in order:
Title Song Remix: Ewwww...worst thing I've ever heard! This is so bad!
This Strange World: It's okay...not really good, but not bad
Time to come together: best one(in my opinion)...still not that good
This is our big night: Way to girly...MlP:FiM never did that before so it was kind of weird
A Friend for life: it is kind of bad

Characters
The human version of the characters are exactly like the normal versions so that's cool.

Humor
It actually is funny. It does some jokes that were done in the first season again and brings back memories. But it also manages to make a lot of new ones. And, sam thing as in the show: Almost everytime Pinkie Pie talks, it's funny as hell!

Conclusion
A movie that is quite okay but it cannot keep up with the high-quality of the TV-Show. It's main problem is(for me) that it is, at certain parts, too girly. Lauren Faust(creator of the TV-Show) stated that she didn't want to create a stereotypical girl show but something everyone can watch. Equestria Girls picks up some of the girl-movie stereotypes(Lauren Faust was not involved in the movie)
I normally would give it a 6 but because it's My Little Pony I'll raise my rating by ONE WHOLE POINT! WOW! THAT'S SO MUCH!… Expand

When the my little pony equestrian girls trailers came along, I expected it to fail because of its change from ponies to humans, but I actually enjoyed the movie. Let me explain:It started after the last episode of my little pony friendship is magic, when Twilight became the princess ofWhen the my little pony equestrian girls trailers came along, I expected it to fail because of its change from ponies to humans, but I actually enjoyed the movie. Let me explain:It started after the last episode of my little pony friendship is magic, when Twilight became the princess of Cantalot. She went to stay in Cantalot tower. When she was sleeping in bed that night, somebody crept into her room and stole her crown, and accidentally tripped over Spike and woke Twilight up. Then Twilight chased after the pony thief until he or she jumped into a magical portal to get away. Twilight didn't enter the portal, to make sure it was safe.So she woke up the empress and everybody else, told them what had happened and asked them where the portal lead to. The empress said it lead to an alternate reality. So Twilight jumped in to search of the crown and the pony thief. Spike came along. The rest of the ponies had to stay, so not to disturb the balance of the dimension. So, when they got to the other side, Twilight was a human and Spike was a dog. Basically, this was an alternate reality where everybody looked and acted like humans. All the characters from the My Little Pony series were there too, in human form. So Twilight decided to go to the nearest school for some unknown reason which doesn't make any sense. It seems forced, very forced. There she meet her long time friends. She also finds pony she saw, the one who stole her crown. Twilight finds out that she is using the crown to win the prom. So Twilight doesn't tell anybody that she's a pony, in case they freak out. What happens for the rest of the movie is Twilight making a good representation of herself around the school, so she can be the prom queen and get her crown back.

In truth, it feels like a shallow story that just tries to pat out the movie. I felt a little awkward when the story revealed all it had to offer. Why wouldn't Twilight just get Spike to threaten the pony thief into giving the crown back? It seems a lot shorter and easier way to approach it. Spike's a dog, he can bite off necks and things like that. And then just run back through the portal before before the police gets there. They don't know what she's done in the other dimension. It's not like you need a good reputation when you're not going to live there anyway. It feels lazy.

About the voice acting: 80% of it is done ok, though some of the side characters' performances are done quite poorly.

So no to get to the point of how the movie doesn't fail with the changing pony to human aspect. You see, the case is that Twilight doesn't take on a random life of another human. She's her own human. She has no parents, no-one to look after her, on her own. No one is forcing her to go to school, she does what she does, there is zero percent child racism added in here, and what happens is actually quite interesting. She doesn't care about this dimension and she never stays. She's only here for the crown. The fact that she makes friends is only for the reputation that she wants. So it succeeds with its ideas.

So what do I think of the movie over all? It's good! Besides the weak story and some bad voice acting, it's enjoyable. That's not coming from a My Little Pony fan. If you are a fan, it might be a 7/10. So watch it, you won't regret it!… Expand

The beginning of the end for this franchise. McCarthy and Vogel are to blame, among others.
