What happens

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games (or simply Friendship Games) is a 2015 animated musical sports fantasy film directed by Ishi Rudell, written by Josh Haber, and produced by DHX Media Vancouver for Hasbro Studios. The sequel to My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks (2014), it is the third installment in Hasbro's Equestria Girls franchise, which serves as a spin-off to the 2010 relaunch of My Little Pony. Like the previous Equestria Girls films, Friendship Games re-envisions the main characters of the parent franchise, normally ponies, as teenage humanoid characters in a high school setting. Set during the events of the fifth-season finale of Friendship Is Magic, the film centers around a sports competition between the students of Canterlot High School and their rivals at Crystal Prep Academy – one of whom is Twilight Sparkle's parallel universe counterpart, who has been investigating the magical activity around Canterlot High. My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games had no limited theatrical release in the United States and Canada, apart from a premiere event at Angelika Film Center on September 17, 2015. The film aired on Discovery Family (a joint venture between Discovery Communications and Hasbro) on September 26, with a home media release on October 13 that year by Shout! Factory. It also had a limited theatrical run in the United Kingdom, Mexico and Australia beginning in October 2015. A fourth film, Legend of Everfree, was released on Netflix in 2016.
