My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, or simply known as Equestria Girls, is a 2013 Canadian–American Flash animated fantasy musical film which is the first installment of Hasbro's toy line and media franchise of the same name, which is itself an anthropomorphized spin-off of the 2010 relaunch of the My Little Pony franchise. The film was directed by Jayson Thiessen and written by Meghan McCarthy, and was produced by DHX Media's 2D animation studio in Vancouver, Canada for Hasbro Studios in the United States. It premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival on June 15, 2013, followed by limited release in the United States and Canada on June 16, with a home media release on August 6. It also commemorates the thirtieth anniversary of the launch of the original My Little Pony toyline.
The film re-envisions the main characters of parent franchise, normally ponies, as teenage human characters in a high school setting. Set between the third and fourth seasons of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, the film's plot involves Twilight Sparkle pursuing her stolen crown into an alternate world where she transforms into a human teenage girl. While learning how to behave as a human, Twilight encounters human counterparts of her pony friends, who help her in her search for her crown.
The film was followed by three sequels – Rainbow Rocks (2014), Friendship Games (2015), and Legend of Everfree (2016).
