Interestingly, the latter two stories are a two-parter, making the first story, “Dance Magic,” an outlier in the storytelling sense. The 65-minute feature is comprised of three stories, so think of it like a best-of DVD of three regular length episodes. Now we have “Magical Movie Night,” the start of a new “series” of short stories, in lieu of a new Equestria Girls movie this year (hey, I don’t blame them they’re working hard on the theatrical My Little Pony movie!). It would’ve been very easy for the crew to just leave it at that and not do much with the premise, but thankfully these direct-to-video movies (especially the second one, Rainbow Rocks) had a lot of effort put into them, with engaging stories that had just as many fantastic situations as the main My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series despite being in a more grounded setting. DHX and Hasbro haven’t let this call go unheeded: a few years ago, they started a spin-off video series called Equestria Girls, which put the ponies, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity, in the “real world.” Gone were the hooves, the manes, the tails, the muzzle, and other horse features instead, humanoid versions of the girls attended Canterlot High in an alternate reality of Equestria. If you’ve been bit by the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic bug, then you’re always up for more adventures starring the ponies.
