 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: G5 ponies have a heart-shaped mark on the bottoms of their hooves, which is supposed to be reminiscent of the "frog" on the hooves of real-life horses. However, on real-life horses, the pointed end of the frog points forward, whereas on G5 ponies, the point of the heart shape points backwards. This becomes significant in The Stinger, where we see an earth pony foal leaving glowing heart-shaped hoofprints.

While visiting Izzy's home, Sunny fiddles with a hoof-cranked musical instrument that plays the Title Theme Tune.

The Cameo: The Fake-Out Opening features the Mane Six from Generation 4, complete with the original voice actors reprising their roles. It's then revealed to be young versions of Sunny, Hitch, and Sprout playing with toys. A stuffed toy version of Spike the dragon can be in Sunny's bedroom during the opening scene. A plush next to Sunny in the opening scene is fan-nicknamed Fausticorn, Lauren Faust's pony character.

The Caper the Mane Characters attempt to get the pegasus Crystal from Queen Haven goes off almost perfectly until it is derailed by Cloudpuff and Hitch. This starts a chain of pratfalls which not only nearly leads to the pegasus Crystal being lost, but also reveals the pegasus royal family can't really fly and they have been deceiving their own subjects with wires and trick lighting, leading to Queen Haven being immediately overthrown by her own subjects and her daughters Zipp and Pipp becoming fugitives from their own people.

Stealth Pun: When Sunny asks Izzy to demonstrate unicorn magic using a can of beans, Izzy uses her horn to puncture the can, revealing that unicorns no longer have magic. She spills the beans. When Zipp wordlessly indicates to Sunny and Izzy that they shouldn't acknowledge having met her earlier, Izzy mimes zipping her mouth shut. It counts as a particularly subtle bit of Foreshadowing for Zipp's name, which isn't properly revealed until a few minutes later. The jewel heist would've gone off without a Hitch, if it hadn't been for a certain sheriff.

comment
Being a Sequel Series, some time has passed since Friendship is Magic. Similar to the Pony Life spinoff series from Generation 4, A New Generation features various forms of technology like cell phones, electronic billboards, and video games. It is unknown exactly the time gap between the two generations, but Generation 4 being called 'Ancient Equestria' implies it is quite large.

Ambiguous Situation: It's unclear just how long ago the events of the previous series were, or how things ended up the way that they currently did. All that's known is that Friendship is Magic was so long ago that most ponies in the modern era now consider the life and times of Princess Twilight and her friends to be a fairy tale.

Chekhov's Gun
 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: The lamp Sunny's father made for her turns out to have the last gemstone needed to bring magic back to Equestria. In the A Minor Kidroduction segment, Sunny and her father use a floating paper lantern to send out an invitation for unicorns and pegasi to come visit Maretime Bay. After the excitement in Zephyr Heights, Izzy reveals that she found the invitation and decided to act on it, explaining her presence in Sunny's hometown. The heroes find out soon after reaching Bridlewood that the unicorns are superstitious enough that if they hear any of four certain words,note Magic, feather, wing & mayonnaise (no explanation for that last one) they have to perform a ritual specific to that word in order to ward off a jinx. When they're cornered later on by the unicorns, Hitch says all four forbidden words at once. This forces every superstitious unicorn there to start going through all the rituals simultaneously, distracting them enough for the protagonists to escape.

Legendary in the Sequel: The inside of Sunny Starscout's room is full of toys and memorabilia of the Mane Six from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The Mane Six (known In-Universe as the Guardians of Harmony) were heroines who once brought harmony and unity to Equestria in ancient times, played with in that they seem to be very obscure history that many pass off as fairy tales. None of the characters even recognize their ancient god-ruler's cutie mark, just that it's an important symbol of pony unity from ancient Equestria.

Bland-Name Product
 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_2b5ea43c
comment
Bland-Name Product: Much of the branding on Zephyr Heights' billboards are takes on common brands: The logo of Zephyr Heights is a riff on the T-Mobile logo. The Zephyr Broadcast System (ZBS) has a logo that, from afar, resembles CBS' eye logo. The Zephyr Heights Postal Service mirrors the United States Postal Service logo. A generic "Pony" logo is based on Sony's wordmark. There's a simple pony silhouette ad that follows from Apple's line of iPod ads. The logo for "McWings" is an inverted double arch from McDonald's, but with wings. The "Amplify" logo mimics the Spotify logo. Though unnamed, a logo with a similar swish as Nike's also appears along with the phrase "Just Wing It". The game "Just Prance", replacing Just Dance, but the gameplay is essentially DanceDanceRevolution.

comment
Alphabetical Theme Naming: Four of the mane characters have double letters in their names: Sunny, Izzy, Pipp, and Zipp. The last two could be justified as they're sisters. (Izzy's last name, Moonbow, qualifies as well.) Hitch, the group's only stallion, has the Odd Name Out. Two of the supporting characters, Phyllis and Alphabittle, fall into this group.

Breaking Old Trends
 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_311500f5
comment
Breaking Old Trends: While there have been important male characters in the franchise before (such as perennial sidekick Spike the Dragon and an antagonist named Tirek, both of whom have appeared in multiple MLP generations), Hitch Trailblazer is the first male pony to be a main character. In the past, the only known ponies who have become alicorns were those who completed high-level magic, and had only been unicorns or pegasi. Here, Sunny is an earth pony who never had any genuine experience with any kind of magic until she herself becomes an alicorn at the movie's ending for the act of returning the Magic of Friendship and thus magic itself back to Equestria. In Friendship is Magic, pony villains are almost invariably either alicorns or unicorns made dangerous by their magical powers; the one exception is a pegasus. G5's first villain is an earth pony backed up by technology and an angry mob.

It Was with You All Along: It turns out that the third piece of the Dismantled MacGuffin was at Sunny's lighthouse home the entire time, built into the little model her father made years ago. Also leaning fully into the trope, bringing the crystals together proves pointless as without the Power of Friendship they are just pretty rocks, and it's not until Sunny gets everyone to become friends again that the crystals reunite and everyone gets their magic back.

The Last Of These Is Not Like The Others: The forbidden words the unicorns have to do a ritual in response to, in order to ward off the "jinxies", are magic, wing, feather, and mayonnaise.

Muggle with a Degree in Magic: Sunny is an earth pony, meaning she won't be able to fly or actively use magic even if it is restored. However, her greatest dream is to bring back Equestria's magic. She has also always dreamed of having a friend who can fly or cast spells (since she cannot herself). Averted at the end once she becomes an Alicorn and gains access to a horn and wings.

Born in the Wrong Century: Exaggerated given that the events of Generation 4 are referred to as ancient history, but Sunny longs for the Mane Six's era when all three pony races lived in harmony. She would have thrived back in ancient Ponyville, as would her father Argyle, who spends much of his time researching Equestria's past. However, the bigotry that prevails in their time makes their views unpopular, leaving Argyle as an eccentric and Sunny one friend away from being a complete outcast.

Schizo Tech: Friendship is Magic tended to rely mainly on the ponies using steampunk or non-electronic technologies. However, in this newer version of Equestria, the biggest business in Maretime Bay is CanterLogic, an electronics company similar to Apple. Meanwhile, giant plasma screens adorn the walls of buildings in Zephyr Heights and nearly every pegasus owns smartphones. However, in Bridlewood, they still rely on the steampunk hoof-cranked or even literally Hamster-Wheel Power tech, as evidenced by the arcade game Sunny and Alphabittle dance on.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: While hunting down Sunny, Hitch launches into the classic "I will not eat, I will not sleep" spiel... then admits that he'll probably have a "quick nap and a snack" if he doesn't find them in a few hours. Even the best trackers need food and rest. During the climax, Hitch thinks it's a good idea to remove the cotter pin holding a spinning Splatapult arm to Sprout's giant robot. The minute the pin is removed, the momentum of the arm sends it flying forward, nearly killing Izzy as it embeds itself into the side of the lighthouse.

Distant Sequel: The movie takes place long after the Mane Six are no longer around. In the film the events of Friendship is Magic are described as "Ancient Equestria" in-universe, implying that a very significant amount of time has passed since the Mane Six had any influence. The time gap is further underscored by the fact that ponies are using modern technology that didn't exist in Friendship is Magic.

In G4, the unicorns are depicted as the most high class of the three tribes; Equestria's capital city, Canterlot, has a mostly unicorn population, and these are mostly depicted as wealthy socialites. Here, the unicorn city of Bridlewood is the least advanced by a long mile; they are almost completely emotionally dead inside and have at best Bamboo Technology, while the pegasus city of Zephyr Heights is a towering metropolis with giant TV screens and social media and the earth pony city of Maretime Bay has movie theaters, factories, giant robots, etc.

Happy Ending Override: Downplayed. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic ends with Twilight Sparkle and her friends turning Equestria into a Utopia after uniting all equine and non-equine races and succeeding the throne from Princesses Celestia and Luna. Sadly not only did this utopia not last, but Equestria has now lost its magic due to division and conflict between the once-united races. However, it's also revealed that Friendship is Magic happened so far in the past as to be ancient history, rather than instantly being overridden, with the lessons learned back then having since been lost to time.

It even shows up as a Logo Joke at the start of the film.

Fantastic Racism

comment
Fantastic Racism: The three pony breeds of Equestria now live separately from one another, and each sees the other two as being hostile and dangerous, to the point that seeing even one pony of a different breed is cause for panic. Earth ponies seem to be the most fearful, probably driven by CanterLogic's business model. There is plenty of racist propaganda being taught as historical fact. In particular: Earth ponies are perceived as being lazy and stupid and smelling like rotten fish. Pegasi are seen as violent brutes who attack and kidnap ponies from above. Unicorns are thought to read minds, zap ponies' brains with their horns, and use their magic in mysterious evil ways.

Central Theme
 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_5ce7dbb9
comment
Central Theme: The dangers of lies. Even well-meaning lies are pernicious things which can destroy a community and prevent natural cooperation with others through paranoia and false hope. One of the major factors that has kept the three tribes divided from one another for so long are the various slanderous misinformation, propaganda, and silly superstitions they have regarding the other tribes. The antagonist, Deputy Sprout, uses the fear, anger and hatred for the unicorns and pegasi that came with those lies to take over Maretime Bay as a rabblerousing dictator, nearly going on the war-path against the other two tribes. This is to the horror of not just Sunny Starscout, but also Sprout's mother, who peddled those very same anti-unicorn and anti-pegasus lies out of genuine misbelief about the other two Tribes and to market and sell her rather unsafe unicorn and pegasi defence systems, all of which her son Sprout believed without question and took up to eleven in his paranoia and egomania. When she sees how far her son has gone, she's horrified. The pegasus royal family has faked being able to fly with wires to their subjects for generations in order to keep their subjects' hopes up after magic disappeared and they lost the ability to fly. This ultimately backfired when their deceit was exposed, which shocked and outraged their subjects so much they overthrew them, leaving the queen arrested and the two princesses becoming fugitives from their own people.

Fake Wizardry: The royal family of Zephyr Heights uses wires and strategic lighting to make it appear as if they can still fly, to provide a small sliver of hope for the grounded pegasi.

Time Skip: Being a Sequel Series, some time has passed since Friendship is Magic. Similar to the Pony Life spinoff series from Generation 4, A New Generation features various forms of technology like cell phones, electronic billboards, and video games. It is unknown exactly the time gap between the two generations, but Generation 4 being called 'Ancient Equestria' implies it is quite large. In the film itself, the first scene shows Sunny's childhood, before cutting to several years later with her now being grown up.

Spanner in the Works: Cloudpuff and Hitch complicate the plan to take Queen Haven's crystal crown and unintentionally make things worse. After taking the crown and replacing it with a decoy, Cloudpuff notices Sunny and Izzy with the crown and takes it back to Haven, which forces Zipp to chase after him. Hitch enters the palace to arrest Sunny and Izzy and they hide in the control room where they frighten the technician into messing with Pipp's wires, which exposes the royal family's inability to fly.

Inventional Wisdom: One CanterLogic product is a set of goggles with lenses angled upwards like a periscope, allowing the wearer to see any pegasi in the air. The flaw in this design is immediately made apparent when the pony modeling them falls off the stage because he can't see where he's going. Similarly, the balloon escape system doesn't have a means of descent for the unfortunate pony who gets to demo it, so he goes right out a window and has to wait for the balloons to lose pressure on their own.

Freeze-Frame Bonus
 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_62f9d08e
comment
Freeze-Frame Bonus: Sunny's house is full of FiM references. As we sweep on a shot of Argyle, we see a map of Equestria from G4, then a picture of the Chest of Friendship, what looks to be Grogar's bell next to a painting of Starswirl the Bearded before landing on a shot of what looks to be a small fossilized dragon's claw print. And that's just one shot. According to her calendar, Sunny does yoga. We can only wonder how well she performs the horse pose. Close examination of Sprout's desk shows that he doesn't have a name plate. Instead, he has a folded piece of paper with "deputy" misspelled as "depooty" on it. He also has a "Customer of the Month" award from the local pizzeria on the wall. During Sprout's song, a pony is reading a newspaper with an article about the earth pony who floated away during the CanterLogic demonstration. Inside the abandoned balloon station, the departure board lists its destinations as: "Bridlewood", "Maretime Bay", "Zephyr Heights", "Neighagara", "Manehattan", "Regional", "Regional", and "Mt. Equ" (presumably "Equus" or "Equine"). In Zephyr Heights, during the breaking news story about the pegasus royal family being unable to fly, the bulletin hoofed to the newspony does actually state that "Queen Haven has been arrested for being a phony pony full of baloney". During "Fit Right In," Izzy eats from a box of Grinded Pony Hooves, labeled as being a source of vitamins and fiber and containing 100% whole grain as the first ingredient.

He winds up floating aimlessly over Equestria for the rest of the film and only comes in for a landing at the very end.

Unexplained Accent: The narrator of Parfum le Pipp has a French accent for no other reason than that's the kind of accent you hear in real-world perfume commercials. Rob from "Danger, Danger" (voiced by the film's director Rob Cullen) and the unicorn foal who says "Ooh, you said a bad word!" (voiced by his daughter) have British accents, when none of the other ponies do.

Shortly after this exchange, he offers to join in the quest.

Symbolism: The film has a Running Gag where every time Sunny opens the door to her house, it knocks the picture of her and her father askew. She always straightens it out, symbolizing her constant struggle to set the story straight about her father, and show he was on the level about pony unity. She doesn't bother fixing it when she returns home dejected about her failure, symbolizing her jaded recognition that he was the one with the askew worldview all along. But after the lighthouse is destroyed, the representatives of the three races come together and straighten the shattered picture frame, finally validating him and his teachings.

Sprout wants to portray the unicorns and pegasi as villains, showing he's a bully who embraces his mother's prejudices. Hitch tries to make peace without taking a side, showing he's less about fearing other ponies than just preventing unrest.

What Happened to the Mouse?: A child Sunny asks "Why can't we be friends anymore?", bringing up the question of what caused the pony tribes to become divided, to which Argyle replies "maybe one day, we'll figure it out." This goes unanswered in the movie which instead focuses on getting the tribes to reunite. Despite it being Pipp and Zipp's reason for sticking with the group, it's unknown if bringing back magic made the pegasi forgive their family for lying about still being able to fly, or if the pegasi still consider them to be royalty. Tell Your Tale shows the pegasi have accepted the family back as their rulers and forgiven them for lying about their ability to fly.

Parental Bonus: One scene shows the police station has a pin-up calendar of Hitch in different outfits, including a sailor suit and a firefighter uniform, in reference to a very real fundraising tactic first responders — who are generally very fit — engage in. Artist Lea Dabssi tweeted that she tried to keep a "serious look" while consulting a bevy of sexy firefighter calendars for reference. Sprout also lists "a paid-off mortgage" as one of Hitch's good qualities, a joke nobody under the age of 30 would relate to.

Sunny's attempt to hijack the CanterLogic Annual Presentation into an activist demonstration goes about as wrongly as possible. It starts with Sunny replacing a test dummy with herself and being subjected to various indignities, including having her sign and costume stolen, briefly being trapped in a "unicorn containment device", and finally being flung around the room from a wire as a splat-a-pult pelts her with green goop. Depressingly, after all that, when she manages to deliver her message of unity anyway, the audience fully rejects it, leaving her dejected, embarrassed, and chewed-out by Hitch.

Ruins of the Modern Age: After freeing them from their cells in Zephyr Heights, Zipp shows Sunny and Izzy an abandoned waystation from old Equestria which confirms to Sunny that the Pony tribes once lived with each other in harmony. It also acts as Zipp's secret hideout where she investigates/practices pegasus flight and gets away from her uncomfortable royal life.

Bathos: A giant robot, ready to wage war against the united ponies, threatening to squash them flat or ruin all they've worked so hard for? That's scary. The pilot pulling a string and honking this Humongous Mecha like a glorified truck driver? Hilarious. In the middle of the fearmongering Angry Mob Song, the singers also take the time to point out some corn ("It's on the cob!") and a random pony nearby ("Uh, my name's Rob.") for seemingly no other reason than to rhyme with "mob".

Continuity Nod: Sunny's satchel has Twilight's cutie mark on it, and she has pins of Twilight's, Fluttershy's, and Rainbow Dash's cutie marks on its sash. The ponies all have heart-shaped hooves, just like in the 2017 movie. Phyllis calls Sprout "sugarcube". Applejack often uses that same term to address her friends and loved ones in Friendship is Magic. During Sprout's song to scare the citizens of Maretime Bay into being paranoid that the pegasi and unicorns are preparing to attack, the word "discord" makes a noteworthy appearance, with Gen 4 having had a major supporting character by that name. When Zipp takes Sunny and Izzy to see the film's Arc Symbol, we see there's a poster for the Wonderbolts, the flight team Rainbow Dash joined during the Gen 4 series. Alphabittle owns a rubber chicken which resembles Boneless, Cheese Sandwich's erstwhile companion. When Izzy first appears, the stampeding townsfolk knock Sunny down. She lands in the exact same pose Twilight landed in when she got her cutie mark. To My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games: Sunny's alicorn form resembles Sunset Shimmer's "Daydream" form. In the abandoned balloon station, the departure board lists — alongside Bridlewood, Maretime Bay, and Zephyr Heights — Neighagara and Manehattan, two locations from G4.

The Dissenter Is Always Right: Sunny and her father Argyle are the only ponies in Maretime Bay that don't think unicorns and pegasi are evil monsters. Campaigning for peace between the tribes makes Sunny into a pariah, and when she sticks to her guns and helps the unicorn Izzy escape, a criminal. Despite this, she's proven completely right over the course of the story, making friends with other pony races and helping to bring magic back to Equestria as a result.

This comes in handy again later when she disguises the group as unicorns.

No OSHA Compliance: The CanterLogic factory's demonstration of anti-unicorn and anti-pegasus devices is "fully automated" and cannot be shut down even when it places a pony in danger, forcing Hitch to pull the plug directly. The factory floor itself is no better, especially once Sprout takes over, with massive chunks of machinery swinging from cranes, hitting other equipment, and missing the workers by inches. The lift platform in the lighthouse has no safety rails and no way to keep a pony from falling through the hole in the floor as it travels to/from the lamp room at the top. Pipp barely escapes serious injury when it drops out under her hooves.

Epic Fail: Sunny's attempt to hijack the CanterLogic Annual Presentation into an activist demonstration goes about as wrongly as possible. It starts with Sunny replacing a test dummy with herself and being subjected to various indignities, including having her sign and costume stolen, briefly being trapped in a "unicorn containment device", and finally being flung around the room from a wire as a splat-a-pult pelts her with green goop. Depressingly, after all that, when she manages to deliver her message of unity anyway, the audience fully rejects it, leaving her dejected, embarrassed, and chewed-out by Hitch. The Caper the Mane Characters attempt to get the pegasus Crystal from Queen Haven goes off almost perfectly until it is derailed by Cloudpuff and Hitch. This starts a chain of pratfalls which not only nearly leads to the pegasus Crystal being lost, but also reveals the pegasus royal family can't really fly and they have been deceiving their own subjects with wires and trick lighting, leading to Queen Haven being immediately overthrown by her own subjects and her daughters Zipp and Pipp becoming fugitives from their own people.

Prejudice Aesop
 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_b582f140
comment
Prejudice Aesop: The pony races' prejudice and bigotry towards each other has led to all magic vanishing from Equestria. Earth ponies have become paranoid militants who scream in horror and deploy dozens of traps and weapons at the mere sight of a young unicorn, pegasi have lost the ability to fly, with the royal family being forced to fake their flight using wires (which does end up getting exposed), and unicorns have turned into a depressed, superstitious lot. The main antagonist, Sprout, is also portrayed as a huge loser in part because of his extreme hatred towards other races, going as far as trying to carry out an ethnic cleansing against them. In the end, the ponies are all shown to be much happier once The Magic Comes Back and they go back to living in harmony.

The pony who demonstrates the "Earth Pony Balloon Escape Pack" and gets swept out a window. He shows up in the sky during "Looking Out for You," is the subject of a newspaper article in "Danger, Danger," and floats overhead after Izzy cuts down a giant tree so the Mane 5 can reach Bridlewood. He touches down in the last scene of the movie, having missed the whole plot, and screams at the sight of a mixed-race group of friends before the movie smashes to the credits.

Hard Truth Aesop
 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_bbc77bb5
comment
Hard Truth Aesop: Sometimes, you will need to stand against your own people for what is right, and do questionable things to achieve a greater good. For Sunny and her companions, their quest to bring back magic and unity to the three tribes of Ponykind forces them to stand in opposition against their own town/kingdom/forest, or steal needed artifacts from their present owners. Even actions made with the best of intentions could potentially backfire and make things worse. Izzy's goodwill visit to Maretime Bay ends up causing a panic and leads to the rise of a paranoid dictatorship under Sprout. The Zephyr Heights Royal Family faked flying with wires and lighting to give their flightless pegasi subjects hope, but when they are exposed it leads to their subjects overthrowing them and losing all hope and trust. Sunny nearly loses heart in her mission later in the film partly as a result of her realizing that her attempts to bring back magic and the three tribes back together have only driven them further apart.

No Escape but Down: When Izzy arrives in Maretime Bay and causes the earth ponies to panic and run, a pony screams and jumps down a ponyhole cover. When she tries talking to an ice cream vendor, he jumps off the ledge into the bay.

Wings Do Nothing
 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_c1acbcff
comment
Wings Do Nothing: Without magic, pegasi can no longer fly under their own power, though they can glide as long as they have a current. This also means that they can no longer control the weather and live atop the clouds like they used to, resorting instead to living in tall mountains like Zephyr Heights. The same holds true of the winged fauna, like Cloudpuff. The royal family uses wires and special effects to pretend that they can still fly, which ends up getting exposed.

Nice, Mean, and In-Between
 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_c1cef253
comment
Nice Mean And In Between: The three major earth pony characters, respectively Sunny, Sprout and Hitch. Sunny is the Nice who advocates for friendship with the unicorns and pegasi. Sprout is the Mean who wholeheartedly buys into the propaganda and eventually tries to start a race war. Hitch is the In-Between who does believe the stereotypes, but just wants to keep the safe and civilized status quo but is open-minded enough to reconsider his prejudices upon seeing evidence that they aren't correct.

Bait-and-Switch Comment: When two pegasus guards, Zoom and Thunder, catch Sunny and Izzy outside Zephyr Heights, Thunder freaks out at the sight of an earth pony. Zoom ensures Thunder that earth ponies are harmless, which Sunny is happy to hear because she believes the pegasi will accept her, until Zoom continues to say that they have very tiny brains, to which Sunny scowls in response.

Irony
 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_c335b9ec
comment
Irony: In G4, the unicorns are depicted as the most high class of the three tribes; Equestria's capital city, Canterlot, has a mostly unicorn population, and these are mostly depicted as wealthy socialites. Here, the unicorn city of Bridlewood is the least advanced by a long mile; they are almost completely emotionally dead inside and have at best Bamboo Technology, while the pegasus city of Zephyr Heights is a towering metropolis with giant TV screens and social media and the earth pony city of Maretime Bay has movie theaters, factories, giant robots, etc. The pegasi and unicorns are more afraid of each other than they are of earth ponies due to the stereotype of earth ponies (as stupid and lazy) not being as intimidating as the others, but it turns out to be an earth pony who poses the greatest threat. While Sunny finds new friends in Izzy, Pipp, and Zipp, she discovers that her desperate attempt to reunite the three pony species have driven them all further apart when the Pony Crystals they stole don't seem to work. Luckily, her "Eureka!" Moment back home allows her to fix this.

Shout-Out
 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The plot is set in motion by a flying lantern. After a Time Skip, our first introduction to adult Sunny is seeing her waking up with messy hair. A Maretime Bay movie theatre has several parody movie posters. One of them, depicting a giant unicorn attacking a swimming earth pony from underwater, is called Horns, and the other one is called Harry Trotter. Another poster is for Dirty Prancing. The headlining film is Judgement [sic] Neigh, although the signage mimics the first film rather than the sequel. Among several of Sunny's notes in the lighthouse includes a card showing one of the G4 rainbow power beams with the words "I want to believe". One billboard in Zephyr Heights advertises a new show, Filly Elliot. Sunny Starscout and Alphabittle are playing Just Prance, with the game machine resembling the one used for DanceDanceRevolution. Sunny and Izzy have a travel montage where the landscape changes around them. The golden tones of the forest background strongly imply that this is a nod to a very similar scene in The Last Unicorn. Phyllis hisses "It's your dessss-tiny" at Sprout. Later, he enters the Canterlogic factory as an imposing silhouette wearing a cape and breathing very heavily. Subverted when he steps out of the shadows and it's revealed he's just sipping a smoothie. One shot during "Danger, Danger" apes the music video for "Seven Nation Army". When chasing Sunny and Izzy, Hitch declares "To the Lighthouse!"

Magnet Hands: Even more so than in previous generations, as for a majority of the film none of the ponies have access to magic, so objects just seem to sort of stick to their hooves. Averted in the case of the cell phones used by pegasi in Zephyr Heights; they have clips on the back that are designed to fit onto a hoof.

Symbolically Broken Object: The jewels symbolizing pony unity were separated and scattered long ago as the tribes drifted apart, and bringing them back together is the main driving force of the bulk of the movie. The lighthouse, beacon of clarity and enlightenment in the darkness, torn down by Sprout and his war machine. The broken picture frame of Sunny and her father, which is then fixed by the three leaders of the pony tribes.

Memento MacGuffin: Even after growing up, Sunny keeps the lamp Argyle built for her on a shelf in her room as a reminder of how much he meant to her. It holds the last crystal in the set of three needed to bring magic back to Equestria. Argyle's journal becomes one of these as well. An ordinary leather-bound notebook stuffed with maps and loose pages — and Sunny keeps it within reach at all times unless it's taken from her. If Zipp hadn't seen Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark on its cover, she never would have joined Sunny's quest.

 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_dc579c91
comment
Contrived Coincidence: The script mercilessly abuses setup and payoff, where absolutely everything that happens turns out to be important to the narrative, but sometimes it's so convenient it beggars belief. Sunny and her father write a letter calling on unicorns and pegasi to come to Maretime Bay, which is received by the one unicorn in Bridlewood who shares that opinion. That unicorn then accidentally runs into that very same earth pony the moment she wanders into Maretime Bay. Sunny and Izzy stumble across the pegasus princess, Zipp, right outside Zephyr Heights. They're arrested and shepherded up to the throne room, where they immediately meet her again. Izzy just happens to come to Maretime Bay and kick off the plot right after Canterlogic's annual showcase, and then she and Sunny arrive at Zephyr Heights the same day the royal celebration is being held, so they were lucky to go there and have an opportunity to easily steal the crown, though it doesn't work out. As the Mane Five walk through the unicorn village, Hitch accidentally learns about the one useful trick he uses to get them out of a jam five minutes later.

Art Evolution: While ostensibly taking place in the same universe as G4, the pony designs here are slightly more realistic in terms of proportions. Pegasi notably have much longer wings, which completely cover their cutie marks when folded and have a more impressive wingspan, with personalized wing designs compared to the copy-and-paste designs from G4. Unicorn horns are longer and sharper, with ornate markings along their length, and may or may not match the coat color.

Cosmic Deadline: When Sunny and friends locate the unicorn crystal, the film seems to recognize that it needs that subplot where the main character struggles to defeat their opponent, gets mentored by a more experienced character, and slowly gets better until they win the high-stakes competition. But it's the third act and the plot needs to hurry up, so they just have Pipp (a pop star) spout a few platitudes about feeling the music mere seconds before the third and final round starts, and Sunny instantly wipes the floor with the pony who owns the arcade machine.

Xenophobic Herbivore: The three pony tribes are so fearful of each other that the sight of an outsider can send a whole town into panic.

Earn Your Happy Ending: It takes a lot of effort and hardship, but by the end Sunny manages to bring back magic with the help of her new friends and even becomes an alicorn, allowing her to use the magic she brought back.

Running Gag
 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: The picture of Argyle and Sunny needing to be adjusted every time someone walks through the door. Sunny not doing this during her Heroic BSoD when she gets home showcases just how depressed she is that her journey appeared to be All for Nothing. Sprout constantly running into doors or being hit by them. Izzy claiming she's "medium sneaky". The tennis ball stuck on Izzy's horn by the pegasus guards as a "shield" against her magic. It gets left in a fruit bowl in place of an orange she's swiped, thrown at Alphabittle to ward off any spells he might cast, played with by Cloudpuff and a bunch of other critters during the closing credits, and mistaken for a piece of cheese by a winged rat at the very end. It even shows up as a Logo Joke at the start of the film. Sparkle Chaser, the stallion who modeled the Pega-Periscope Goggles during the Canterlogic show. He makes several appearances later on and never removes them, even after Sprout has stopped his attack. The pony who demonstrates the "Earth Pony Balloon Escape Pack" and gets swept out a window. He shows up in the sky during "Looking Out for You," is the subject of a newspaper article in "Danger, Danger," and floats overhead after Izzy cuts down a giant tree so the Mane 5 can reach Bridlewood. He touches down in the last scene of the movie, having missed the whole plot, and screams at the sight of a mixed-race group of friends before the movie smashes to the credits.

The Power of Friendship
 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_faece9aa
comment
The Power of Friendship: Sunny is a firm believer in this, hoping that she'll one day see an Equestria reunited. When Sunny convinces everyone to try being friends again, the Dismantled MacGuffin is restored, returning magic to Equestria while also granting her Hard Light wings and a horn by turning her into an alicorn.

Brick Joke
 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_fe0330fb
comment
Brick Joke: At the Canterlogic show, a pony wearing a backpack full of balloons accidentally floats out of the factory. He briefly shows up several times during the film before finally coming in for a landing at Maretime Bay. Asking what he's missed, he promptly freaks out at the sight of a unicorn, two pegasi, and two earth ponies — one of whom is now an alicorn — actually getting along. One earth pony is so terrified of Izzy that he jumps into the bay. During "Danger, Danger," he finally climbs out — only to fall back in again. When complaining to himself that he can do stuff just as well as Hitch, Sprout tries to prove it by shutting a filing cabinet, only for the drawer above it to open. When it cuts back to him later that cabinet drawer is still open. As the earth ponies panic at the sight of Izzy, Hitch rescues a foal from being trampled, but accidentally gives him to a pony who isn't his parent. The same foal is later seen with his actual parents during Sprout's song.

Grail in the Garbage
 My Little Pony: A New Generation / int_fe61495d
comment
Grail in the Garbage: While the pegasus crystal is the centerpiece of Queen Haven's crown, the unicorn crystal is part of Alphabittle's collection of odds and ends in a tea shop in Bridlewood, kept only because of his fondness for crystals. The earth pony crystal is also this; Argyle built it into Sunny's lamp, seemingly just because of the light show it puts out whenever it's given a light source, with no indication that he ever understood its purpose.

Diving Save: During the climax, Queen Haven pushes Alphabittle out of the way of Sprout's war machine when it backs up, saving both him and the critters he was trying to shield from the splatapult.
