Analyzing Themes: Equestria Girls


Equestria Girls.............Equestria Girls!? Yeah, so, for those who aren't into the whole My Little Pony craze nowadays, there was a movie done for the new series, the very first movie for the new series in fact, only er.....the pony characters we grew to know and love.......became human.....ish.

I prefer to discuss stories my way, not by their quality, but by their themes and connections to our lives.

If however, despite all that, you are still very curious about my opinion on the movie, as you value my opinion that highly, I must show my appreciation to your generosity by quickly telling you that, I thought it was really flawed, and I can understand why some wouldn't like it, but I still really loved it, so much so that I think I will watch it a 2nd time. Now! Onto the interesting bits, let's get to it, and let's take a look at the themes of Equestria Girls:
