Thank you Shout Factory for sending us this DVD to review!
We have previously reviewed My Little Pony Rainbow Rocks and Equestria Girls and my kids thoroughly enjoyed those movies. Surprisingly, my son enjoyed them all as well. Along with those two movies, Friendship Games is included in a 3 movie combo pack that will list for less than $25. This is quite a bargain for My Little Pony fans.
Since this is our first time watching Friendship Games here’s our review of it:
Rainbow Dash sent out an emergency text gathering all of the members in the band in fear of Canterlot High School being in danger. As it turns out, it was a false alarm since Rainbow Dash only needed a replacement guitar string. Instead of heading home right away Sunset Shimmer hangs around the portal for a little bit and catches a mysterious figure scanning the statue/portal. Could it be someone from Crystal Prep Academy pranking their school for the upcoming Friendship Games competition? Canterlot High School has never won a competition against Crystal Prep so their morale is pretty low until Rainbow Dash rallies everyone up with a stellar performance. Could magic be involved in her performance? Sunset Shimmer has been tasked to get to the bottom of it to avoid their school from being disqualified for magic use. Twilight Sparkle is also looking into this phenomenon.
The Twilight Sparkle in this show doesn’t know anyone in Canterlot High School since she is a Crystal Prep student. However, they all know who she is and don’t know why she doesn’t recognize them and suddenly wears glasses. They also discover that she has the ability to steal magic. Will the Friendship Games go on without a hitch? Watch to find out because I’m not going to spoil it for you!
