Sunset Shimmer is asked to figure out why they "pony up" during the "Friendship Games", where two schools compete in various games to win it.

The 2017 My Little Pony: The Movie has retained the strengths of G4 while incorporating the strengths of G1. It is the best of both worlds: it offers a swashbuckling adventure story with exotic locales and an array of fantastical creatures, but with the superior production and lovable cast of Friendship is Magic.This movie is very faithful to the source material, and it uses ToonBoom to make a beautiful animation, and making it look like a Disney, or a Warner Bros. like animation. The movie follows t he ponies of Equestria prepare for their first Friendship Festival, overseen by Princess Twilight Sparkle in Canterlot.
