Equestria Girls Review

hi!
Since there is no episode to review, it's time to review something that nearly split the fandom in two, and caused wars between everybody. Equestria Girls.
 No, not the music video.

If you somehow don't know what that is, then I'm surprised. In that case, take a look at the trailer
let's roll.
My Little Pony, Equestria Girls is an animated feature film starring the ponies as teenage girls. Twilight's crown and element of harmony is stolen by Celestia's former student, who took it to a "alternate world"- the human world. Yep, an hour of socially awkward, teenage, human Twilight and Spike, the DOG.



-Animation and Sound-
There's nothing to say about that. The film is done by DHX, the voice actors are the same and so are the musicians of the original show. The songs are really good- "Helping Twilight Win the Crown" got really popular and has over 700,000 views on YouTube. The remixed version of the intro was really awesome!
-Design-
The design of the ponies humans is.... meh..- long legs with big feet (they are seriously big); skin color is the same as was the fur color in the pony world and this applies to their hair. Closer to the end, they grow wings, horns, ears and hair extensions (growing tails would be too weird, so why not give them extensions?) - that makes them even more anthro.



 And the facial expressions are priceless:

that face gives me nightmares.....
-Plot-
 The story itself is quite interesting- seeing Twilight trying to adjust to a new world and a new body made it really entertaining. It's a bit rushed in the end, but its barley noticeably. lots of show references are made: the Great and Powerful Trixie, Derpy Hooves, Pinkie's party cannon and others. 
For me a major disappointment was Twilight's "love interest"- Flash Sentry. His only mission in the movie was the clear Twilight's name when she was accused of vandalism. But for some reason, when she's back in Equestria, Flash is there! Is that a hint on the future episodes?
During the movie Pinkie, both human and pony, make "hunches"- elaborate guesses that really confuse people. How did she know that Twilight was a pony from another dimension, and a princess? Maybe I'm over thinking this a bit, but I'm onto her.......  -_-
-Villain- 
The villain is Sunset Shimmer, Celestia's former student. She steals the crown and turns into a winged monster:

....and gains power to zombify teenagers, whom she will use as her "army" to take over Equestria. In the end she understands her mistakes and becomes good. yay.
-Overview-
I would give Equestria Girls a 7 out of 10. There were some flaws and holes in the story, but I consider EQG a good thing, really, it's as bad as I expected...
Have a beautiful day/night!
