SEX SYMBOLS

My daughter Loosy wanted to watch My Little Pony, Equestria Girls. I thought nothing of it it sounded innocent. Until I saw it, one second they were cute little ponies, and then they become short skirt wearing hookers. One of them even winked. I cannot believe this exists. As soon as I saw it i turned it off and sent Loosy to her room. Unnacceptable.

This title has:

Too much sex

Will there ever be another EG movie? In this special Twilight has a crush on Timber. The villain could scare some. So much EG Merchandise you could empty your wallet.

This title has:

Too much violence
Too much sex
Too much consumerism

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (3 ):
Kids say (14 ):

While My Little Pony attracts all ages with its gentleness and positive messages, the Equestria Girls subsidiary is aimed at tweens, so peril, spookiness, and trendiness take center stage. The six main characters are engaging and attractive even as they're superficial and one-dimensional -- here's the fashionista, there's the athlete, and the animal whisperer is quietly saving the planet one squirrel at a time. There are lots of references to characters and situations from the three earlier DVD stories, so kids new to the brand may be wishing for a little help with backstory. Still, despite that, the forgettable songs and the fact that the plot is dense (with multiple antagonists), My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Legend of Everfree has enough going for it to appeal to old fans and new audiences as well. Hasbro has created this franchise to compete with tween-favorites such as Monster High, Barbie, and Scooby-Doo! -- all runaway money-makers. It's OK for kids who are clear about real vs. cartoon violence.
