My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Magical Movie Night [DVD]

A touching movie that explores Twilight Sparkle's character (gives her a sense of struggle and conflict). I don't get the dislike for this movie. It does a great job at exploring Twilight's character. This movie takes place just after Season 3 but just before Season 4. At the end of Season 3, Twilight becomes an Alicorn and in this movie, you get to see how she deals with it a little (the first 5 minutes or so of the movie) and then later how she deals this new world and how she tries to solve things in that (Equestria Girls) world. I am making this review after seeing all three Equestria Girls movie so far (2015). I know some fans don't like the movie but honestly, I don't understand why. The movie does a great job at exploring Twilight's character (at least the first half). Now I admit that in the second half, the sense of struggle with Twilight is gone but I still appreciate the movie for adding more depth to Twilight's character. Personally I love this movie because it touched me. The scene that did it (some minor spoilers) is the scene where Twilight couldn't figure out how to use a vending machine and she looked so sad and said how she didn't know much about this world or if she can find a way this time. Another scene was when Twilight wasn't sure whether the others would believe she is a Pony Princess. Those two scenes alone (alone with the rest of the movie) made the movie worth it. It adds a lot to Twilight's character. You get to see another side (well you do sometimes in FIM but not as much) of Twilight. You feel her struggles and you want her to succeed. In the regular MLP: FIM show, I find that characters aren't explored (in terms of conflict) as much The movie does a great job with exploring Twilight and giving her a conflict that she kind of struggles with (something that shows another side of Twilight that isn't as explored as much). I admit though, Twilight only kind of struggles during the first half of the movie. The second half kind of doesn't have as much sense of a conflict or struggle (but it's still touching all the way through). Regardless though, I found the movie enjoyable throughout. One negative though is that there is a few dull moments in the movie but I'd say the majority of the movie is enjoyable. Personally, I like it more than Rainbow Rocks and it is equal with Friendship Games. The problem I have with Rainbow Rocks is that while there is more things happening (and more characters), there isn't as much sense of progression in conflict. The majority of Rainbow Rocks were characters arguing (or aimlessly trying to find some way to win against the Sirens), then near the end of the movie there was a 2 minute pep talk that suddenly switched things around and let the Mane Six + Sunset Shimmer win. That's why I don't like Rainbow Rocks as much (I did enjoy it though). Not only that, (personally) Rainbow Rocks didn't really show a specific character struggling in the way that it touched me (and I wanted them to win). IMO, both Equestria Girls (this movie) and Friendship Games does a better job at that than Rainbow Rocks. I rate Rainbow Rocks 4/5 though, it was still enjoyable but personally I didn't like it as much as the other two. Overall, that's why I give this movie a 5/5. It does a great job at exploring Twilight Sparkle's character.

Purchased this movie for my soon-to-be 5 year old daughter as an early birthday present. We've owned this since the end of September and she was absolutely ecstatic to see this as one of her gifts. I purchased the Blu-Ray/DVD/DigitalCopy set. A couple of reasons why I did this: (1) You just can't beat the quality of picture that Blu-Ray has to offer and this of course did not disappoint. (2) The fact that a DVD was offered in the combo is in my opinion great. If my daughter wanted to take this movie to a grandparent or friend's house and they don't have a blu-ray player then it would not be an issue because of the DVD disc. (3) The digital copy is more of a favorite for me because it's on the computer and also on my iPad, making it a wonderful thing to have when we have long car rides. (4) Last but not least, I bought the combo set because of the price for all three different formats. It was definitely well priced. My only issue was that the digital copy is downloaded from a third-party site therefore when I uploaded the movie to my iPad it was located in home videos instead of movies on the Videos app. This, of course, is no reason for me to bump any stars off. Another thing about the digital copy is that although it's still of great quality, it's 720p as opposed to 1080p. Not a big issue at all, just some minor notes that I know I paid attention to. Overall it's a wonderful movie for the entire family! My Little Pony never fails to have catchy music and this movie is no exception. It's a great addition to the MLP seasons and definitely ties in well with the tv show. (Some shows have a spin-off movie that doesn't really follow the rest of the show) I would definitely recommend this movie to any MLP fan!

I am a Brony of sorts, and I give this movie five stars. When one of my little buddies found out that I had ordered the BluRay version of MLP-EG, she decided to have a slumber party where she and all of her little friends could spend an evening watching it. Then she asked me if they could watch my copy, depending on the Power of Cuteness to get her way, as little girls so often do. Her parents wisely decided that they had plans for that night, and that it was my duty to babysit, as it was, after all, my copy of the movie that started the whole thing rolling. Or snowballing, as it turned out. So I found myself playing sheepdog for the night to an avalanche of adorability. Watching Equestria Girls over and over. With repeats of the most popular scenes, like the Cafeteria rally. Y'know, I liked it. The little girls, who comprised it's target audience, loved it. Five stars, indeed. Now, let me address some of the critics here on Amazon: #1, this movie was not meant to represent any particular type of schoolkid. I doubt if there were very many fat girls who walked away from this movie feeling sad because no character looked like them. If there were, then they have way more problems that any movie can counter. In fact, I doubt if there were any black-haired, chocolate skinned darlings who walked away sad for the same reason. Or any lighter-shinned or Asian girls, either. Face it, under those circumstances, the only girls who would be satisfied would be the punks, goths, emos and other alts. Because most of the characters in this movie, even the adults, looked like nobody in real life. Because, y'know, purple skin? Green hair? Don't get me started on body image. OH MY GOD! This movie is telling little girls that their ideal body would have their feet amputated to fit them into stubby tube boots! Waaahhhh! Evil! Get real, folks. It's a movie, not a life-changing event. #2, this movie was produced for little girls, not Bronies. So the whole ponies-as-humans line of whining is pretty much a wash. The target audience loves it, and that's all that matters. In fact, why are the Bronies complaining so vociferously about the writers doing something THAT BRONIES THEMSELVES DO SO MUCH OF? Just do a search for "Pony Porn" sometime... Rather, don't. What you will see can never be unseen. Just don't. #3, the movie was a little preachy in spots. Yeah, a movie that shows different groups of kids like rockers, artists, jocks and ecos cooperating to accomplish good goals is a bad thing right? The target audience seemed to like it, so get stuffed. In the end, I will give this movie five stars. It was well written, with a good story and message, the artistic style was faithful to the MLP series, and the characters' personalities and behaviors were faithful to their MLP prototypes. I especially liked all of the background characters that you could recognize as background characters from the MLP series, like Photo Finish and others. They even had their cutie marks worked into the decorations on their clothing, which was a nice touch. But the major reason for my giving it five stars has little to do with the fact that I enjoyed watching it. The major reason is that the little girls I know enjoyed watching it. And in the end, that's what matters. Priorities, people!

All MLP movies are great. A lot of music. Kids enjoyed. The digital version is a file that you download on your computer. The digital version is NOT available for online streaming (ex : Google Play).

The DVD is only coded for DVD region 1 and the Blu-Ray is only coded for Blu-Ray region A.

Als MLP FiM fan ein absolutes MUSS. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen.
