Next best thing to having Discord in this movie?
Rainbow Dash is the best cider addict, y'all.
"Fabulous takes forever!"
"...can get done in four seconds flat!"
"Oh, come on, it's fine!"
"If you were raised in a barn!"
You just lost Taboo, Rarity!
"Ahem, no offense, Applejack."
"Especially since I wasn't raised in a barn."
"My family just happens to have a barn."
"And... spent most of my formative years..."
"This will be the biggest celebration Equestria has ever seen!"
"As the Princess of Friendship, you cannot fail!"
"This day will define who you are!"
"The pressure is intense!"
"It's almost too much for any single pony to handle!"
But, you know, no pressure or anything.

The only thing dangerous about this- how much cholesterol is in that one layer of cake alone!
Mmm, Twilight cake. My favorite!
Of course, not everypony's wild about Twilight cake.
Ah yes, artist placement. We have those in other movies as well.
"You have visual on buttercream?"
"Visual confirmed. Go for cleanup."
Bodyguard jokes. Classic.
Well, that escalated quickly.
No! Not the ominous clouds!
Rainbow Dash, did you forget to fix the sky? ...again?!
"Ooh! I bet those are the clowns I ordered!"
"Or definitely not the clowns I ordered."
"Brian, no!"
Is it just me, or am I starting to question the motive behind this joke?
"Ponies of Equestria, we come on behalf..."
"...of the fearsome, the powerful, the almighty..."
"And now, to deliver the evil, evil message..."
"...put your hooves together..."
"...for Commander Tempest!"
LOOK UPON ME AND DESPAIR.
"...but what happened to her horn?"
"Oh, I'm so glad you asked."
"How about we start with your complete and total surrender?"
"Hi there. Princess of Friendship."
"Not exactly sure what's going on..."
"...but I know we can talk things out."
"Here's the deal, ladies. I need your magic."
"Give it up nicely, please..."
"...or we make it difficult for everyone!"
"And why should we cower before you? There's one of you..."
"...and hundreds of us."
As if you're portraying the ponies as an army.
"I was hoping you'd choose 'difficult'."
"Seek help from the Queen of the Hippo—"
All of the princesses, minus Twilight, taken out in less than a minute. Told y'all the princesses were useless.
Hnnng! Wing-arduim Levio-saa! Ar-resto mom-entum! Why are the statues so heavy?
This blink-and-you-miss-it-save brought to you by Rainbow Dash.
Wait a second- that's not the princess! (Unless she's made the princess of muffins.)
"That's not the Princess!"
Didn't we repeat this already in this gallery page?
"Guys, we gotta get the Princess!"
Looks like Twi needs another new tiara.
Twilight is thinking "Oh, I'm mad now!"
Twilight's about to kick some major flanks. Also, you can tell that this is a big budget film by the improvement on the aura effects.
Is magic proof metal or Anti-Magic Metal?
"I think my bottom's on backward."
"We just got our cupcakes handed to us by the worst party crasher ever!"
"We gotta go back there and fight!"
"You saw the size of those goons!"
"You seriously wanna go back?!"
"Celestia told Luna to find the Queen of the... 'Hippos'."
"Luna can't, so I have to."
"I've heard they're surprisingly graceful for their size."
"Huh, but they're always hungry."
"They're somewhere south, past the Badlands."
"That means we'll have to... leave Equestria. Oh!"
"I understand you're scared, and nopony else has to go."
"But I have to find this Queen."
"She might be our only hope."
"Well, you're not getting all the glory."
"We're in this together."
"I am ready to save Equestria!"
Click this photo to see a determined Flutter-"Yay."
"We're all behind you, Twilight!"
"Let's go find this Hippo!"
There go the Mane 6...and Spike.
"...wasted on parties..."
"...when there are far greater uses."
[Incoming Call:
The Storm King]
"Where am I supposed to be looking? I never understand how this spell works. Tempest!"
"Over here, Your Excellency."
"Where?"
"Over here."
"Huh?"
"No."
"My right?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, there you are."
"Here's the deal: I'm in the middle of a big re-brand here."
"The Storm King is tracking, well, as intensely intimidating, but you know what? I need to back it up. You know what I need to back it up with?"
"A storm! That would be great!"
"You promised me magic that could..."
"...control the elements, and right now..."
"...I'm holding a what? A branch. A twig"
"Uh, that would be the Staff of Sacanas, Your Excellency..."
"Mm-hmm?"
"...and it will channel the magic of the four rulers of this land."
"You'll soon have the power of 100 armies."
"So, that would be a "yes" on you locking down..."
"...the four "Pegacornicuses" or whatever you call them?"
"Give me three days. I'll have everything ready for your arrival."
"...only I have the power to make you whole. Make this twig work..."
"...and you'll get your reward. Fail me, and your horn won't be the only thing that's broken."
"It won't be a problem."
"I'm gonna power up, crash and bash, and be the biggest, baddest bugaloo!"
"Sorry, bad spell service. You want me to call him back?"
"Do you have the princess?"
"It kind of seems like she... she might've, like, you know, got away... a little bit."
"I know you're disappointed..."
"...but I got one word for you."
Not a fan of spongecake, I see.
"I need all four for the Staff to work."
"Hey, I know."
"I want the Storm King to fix that crazy horn as badly as you do."
"It looks like a badly chipped tooth on the top of your head. And you know you don't look good in hats."
"That princess is not gonna keep me..."
"...from getting my horn back."
"Please. How far could one little pony get on her own?"
Jeez! Wonder what sort of critter that was...
Well, Tempest, they made it pretty darn far from the looks of it.
Notice that the vulture skull starts to disappear before it's even off-screen.
Uh, Pinkie... are you okay?
Looking very Ren & Stimpy-ish there, Spike.
"You know what they say: where there's a city..."
"Main characters forget their mission" cliche, as always.
...you'll get infected with pastelis coloritis.
Oh no, you have the early signs!
"Enjoy your last moments and..."
"Because parts will fall off."
Ah yes, out of context jokes. We have those in the series in various episodes as well.
You're so charming, good sir!

There's a smaller way to show our thanks; dear Capper!
You fixed my jacket... and made it better...
"Okay... What's the catch?"
I'm thanking you for your help, darling.
Twilight: I've gone over Luna's orders...
... and I think we need to find the Queen of the Hippogriffs!
"Oh! Oh, the Hippogriffs!"
"Now, the trouble with that is..."
"...no one knows... where they are..."
"Says here they're on the top of Mount Aris!"
"You mean the mountain right outside the window?"
Wow, it's the MLP equivalent of the Lonely Mountain!
Rufus, is that you? Nope, wrong naked mole rat!
"Here's Verko!"
We all know what that reference is, right?
You sold us out? Oh, that's cold!
"What tricks do you know..."
"...my little pony-wony?"
You want to see tricks, mole rat?
"Go! Go!" (Twilight, they're already outside.)
"Ugh!"
"What do you think, Twilight?"
"Should we just... ask 'em to take us?"
"Last time we trusted somepony, he tried to sell us!"
"Looks like a pack of stowaways."
"What are we s'posed to do with 'em?"
"Squawk!"
"I think we tie 'em up!"
Wha--?
"We clip their wings!"
Don't even think about it!
"Nah. We scar 'em..."
No, please! Not that! Anything but that!
"What say the book, Captain Celaeno?"
Step, clump, step, clump...
"Storm King's rule book says..."
"...'Throw them overboard'."
Why are we not surprised?
That's a loooooooooong way down.
The whistle blows- you know what that means!
"All right! That's lunch!"
Well, Applejack seems to like this slop
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
(Fun fact: Rainbow is contractually obligated to say this at least once per appearance.)
"So, you were about to toss us overboard..."
"...and you stopped for a lunch break?"
Dashie, I'm just as confused as you are, but we don't need to be reminded of what may turn out to be an imminent death!
"Storm King only allows one break a day for meals, then it's back to hauling goods."
"So, you're delivery guys?"
"And gals. These uniforms..."
"...aren't exactly doing us any favors."
"Then can you deliver us to Mount Aris?"
"Sorry. We do what the Storm King orders or we suffer his wrath."
"Right. Still going overboard."
"Eh, it's nothing personal."
Slop pudding, Rarity. Enjoy!
"You weren't always delivery birds, were you?"
RAINBOW: "What about before the Storm King?"
"Yeah. We used to be much more adventurous."
PINKIE PIE: "Ooh! I met that guy in the desert!"
"You used to be pirates?!"
"Um, we prefer the term 'swashbuckling treasure hunters'."
"You birds have a choice to make."
"You could let some cloven-hoofed Storm King..."
"...tell you how to live your lives..."
"...you could be awesome again!"

Spike- best assistant and now, confirmed drumming expert.
Drumming with your head... not the best idea...
Uh... Squabble, you okay?
"Let's show these little ponies how it's done!"
"I knew you had it in ya!"
"And now for the finishing touch!"
Nice, Dashie. All you're missing is a "Escaped pony heroes" sign lit in neon colors here.
"Oh, for Celestia's sake!!!"
She still smiles in the midst of danger.
This is really heart-wrenching!
Mortal danger is no excuse for a raggedy mane.
I'm at the same speed as that which I want levitated, this is better!
Doesn't she know I can fly?
"What in the hay is she up to?"
.... light your flame up, up, up/Light it up up up!
Twilight likes Fall-out Boy, but the balloon will not be falling anymore!
"Phee-yew! Quick thinkin', Twilight!"
"That was fun! Can we do it again?"
Is this the first time we've seen the Mane Six use a non-
Twinkling Balloon hot air balloon?
"Oh! Can we show them? Huh?"
"These are the first guests we've had in, like, foreveeerrr!"
"Can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we, can we?"
"Well, I suppose I should make sure it still works."
So Queen Novo can do magic, too.
The merchandising is strong in this one.
...it's a cute overload....
"Yay" (as the fandom either 'hnng's or "d'awww") She's so cute!
Hide underwater like the coward you are!
Time for my seaweed wrap.
"So that's it? We left home for nothin'?"
"Oh, my gosh! Best... idea!"
"Forever!"
Is she nuts or what?
"There are so many things we can do!"
"We could make friendship bracelets out of shells and..."
"...picture frames outta shells and..."
"...decorative wastebaskets out of shells..."
Shells. A seapony's favorite thing.
"Oh, I have so many projects that involve shells, haha!"
Now I have someone new to share them with! I mean, aside from my friends, Shelly and Sheldon."
"Right? 'Shelly'? And 'Sheldon'? Get it?"
Well... this is uncomfortable...
"Oh, that sounds lovely, darling."
"But you must realize we can't stay."
"We've gotta get back to our families."
"Oh, no. Of course. Of course. Heh."
"Of course you have your own friends back home."
"It's fine. It's fine. Heh."
"Shelly and Sheldon get jealous anyways. Heh."
"It's probably for the best."
"Yeah, I'll just, um... I'll get Mom to, uh..."
"...turn you back so you can go home."
Fun fact: Pinkie Pie and Skystar both share the same personality...
"I know we have to go, but..."
"...you guys saw how disappointed Princess Skystar was."
"Couldn't we stay for just a little longer?"
"Pinkie, we just don't have time--"
"Oh no. No, no. Pinkie's right."
"Well, we still need to come up with a plan to get back. A few minutes won't make a huge difference."
"And if there's anypony who can cram a lifetime of fun into a blink of an eye, it's Pinkie Pie."
"So go ahead and show Skystar the best time ever!"
Twilight, what are you thinking? ...apart from the obvious "I'm gonna get that pearl, even if I have to steal it!"
"It's probably for the best."

"Well, I guess there is one small thing we can do."
"Oh, no, the pearl alarm!"
You done messed up, Twilight!
"All of this so you could sneak in and take the pearl?!"
"This is why we don't bring strangers into our home!"
"You don't deserve to be one of us."
"What were you thinkin'?"
"I mean, stealin' their pearl?"
"It was the only way to save Equestria."
"The Queen was going to say yes!"
"We did what you told us and that's what made her realize we were ponies worth saving!"
"...you didn't really want us to show her the best time ever!"
"You just wanted us to distract her!"
Are you sure? She just wanted to save Equestria, that's all.
"I never would have done it..."
"...but this isn't Equestria!"
"We can't just dance around with
con artists, make rainbooms in the sky and expect everything to work out!" ( Twilight's right, you all are not any better than her because you all didn't take the mission as seriously as she was)
"It's not enough! We are not enough!"
"No, Twilight! We stuck together!"
"We were gonna get the help we needed!"
"The only thing that stopped us... was you!"
"Well, I'm doing the best I can!"
"It's all on me. I'm the one Tempest wants."
"You're also the only one who
doesn't trust her friends!"
Well, that's justified, because you five forgot about the purpose of the mission, yet you still think that everything is fine.
#TwilightDidNothingWrongThat's it.
That tears it.
"Well, maybe, I would've been better off..."
"...without friends like you!!!"
She's turned into Tempest.
Movie has time for Pinkie's sadness as usual, even though you all knew it was gonna happen at some point.
Pinkie Pie be taking drama classes, y'all.
Why would you gasp? She just realized her mistake, so she's not a "traitor".
"I just can't talk to you right now."
Pinkie Pie being treated as a main character by the Mane Six = Sad scenes.
What this movie is basically telling you is that the Mane 5 has the power to yell at Twilight yet she can't yell at them. It's true because Twilight really does have a point here, and she is REALLY stressed with trying to save the land.
Come on, Spike. Go comfort Twilight.
Just what we needed, a scene like this to act as a lead-in to a song by a secondary antagonist who gets more screen time than the main one.
"Twilight? It's okay. You'll figure it out."
"There's no chance to save Equestria now."
Jokes aside, you gotta appreciate the backgrounds and animation in this film. This really conveys the emotion that it's trying to convey here.
Hang on Spike I'll save you!
"No, no, no, no, no! Noooooo!"
The jail-bars are so widely spaced that Twilight could walk through, but she doesn't for some reason.
"Aww, the "Princess of Friendship"."
"Why are you doing this?"
"You're a pony! Just like me."
"I'm more than you'll ever be."

See that smoldering ruin in the bottom-left-hand corner? That's where the heart of the show you know and love takes place.
"I'm so sorry you felt so alone."
"I saw the truth. My 'friends' abandoned me when times got tough."
"Looks like I'm not the only one."
"Face it, Princess. Friendship has failed you, too."
"Friendship didn't fail me. I failed friendship."
Oh, good. Twilight's last line was powerful and poignant. Acceptance of 'the measuring stick'!
"This whole journey was such a mistake. All we wanted was somepony to help us."
That is what Twilight wanted to do, right?
"Ya think, maybe it's time we talk to Twilight?"
"She's...been...taken!!!"
"What?!"
"Twilight's been taken! Tempest!"
"And took her on her ship!"
"Well, good thing I happen to know of a group of mighty heroes that could handle this easily!"
"Well, look what the cat dragged in."
"These heroes have faced the Storm King's army and escaped!"
"I've seen them tackle the streets of the roughest towns..."
"...break out of the tightest situations, and inspire others to join their cause!"
"Now don't get too excited. He's just talkin' about us."
"They even escaped certain doom..."
"...at the hooves of Commander Tempest!"
"Yeah. That was pretty great."
Celaeno and her crew! You're alive too!
"We're on board to help you fight the Storm King!"
"Just not on board our... actual ship."
"That crazy unicorn sunk it. But you got back our argh!"
"And we're ready to kick some booty."
Skystar really wants to help!
"Is that what I think it is?"
"I am gonna get so grounded."
"But I talked things over with Shelly and Sheldon..."
"...and they pointed out that you were just trying to help your friends."
"'Cause ya know... one small thing..."
"...can make a really big difference!"
"We didn't make friends with anypony else?" Brohoof, Spike. You know of strength in numbers!
"All right, y'all! I think our course is clear."
"Y'all ready to do this thing?"
Help is on the way Twilight!
"What can you really do?" So, he finally shows up.
"Your bidding, of course, Your Mighty One!"
"Bidding's good. I like bidding!"
"Um, what are you supposed to be?"
"I'm the Princess of Friendship!"
"Why is this one still moving?"
"She and her friends put up a bit of a fight, but she's alone now."
"She won't be a problem."
"I never did like 'cute'."
Say... is Tempest affronted?
S.King? You're in the wrong movie if you don't like cute!
"Deliver the punchline, Tempest..."
"...because this has gotta be a joke!"
"Let's get this storm started!"
"Ooh, hey, that's good. I should trademark that."
Expect that to be denied by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office within the 6 months of application.
Ok, she's free; now we need the staff to get hijacked.
"Your Excellency, you promised to restore my horn and give me—"
Tempest: Is he interrupting me and our agreement?
"You gotta be kiddin' me!"
"I can move the sun?!"
So this character is Discord 2, just less funny.
They're less vivid, but they're non-verbally imploring Tempest to choose a side!
You're sure gonna get a nasty surprise after this!
As RarityDash would say, "The moon!"
This guy's a few parasprites short of a full swarm, isn't he?
Ah yes, the Trojan Horse trick. Works every time.
Glad you're not on the chains.
I don't want to be the one responsible...
... for an undelivered cake on the King's orders.
Now begins phase 2; keep the sad faces!
We don't do smiling here.
Sheesh, is this hedgehog's stomach full yet? He wants more cake?
All right, who ordered the scurvy-flavored cake?
I am never trusting cakes again...
Yeah, I want to see Skystar bowling. Strike!
Ouch! That looks painful.
Pinkie is good. Instead of asking
Twilight to be her weaponry; she becomes her OWN weapon...of laughter!
Leave him alone! He's already dead!
Wait, that face seems familiar...
"Do you wanna talk about it?" (She is so cute here! *Squee*)
Believe it or not, he's got a lot to say...
"Head for the castle! We'll hold them off!"
"Sorry, our time is up. Buh-bye!"
"Hey... Ain't you a fire-breathin' dragon?"
Spike likes the way you think, Capper.
Weaponized dragon, coming through!
Spike used flamethrower! IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!
Zippo, are you seeing this? Spike on a lighter! The idea will catch fire!
How do you like your Storm Guards? Medium rare or well done?
"Yeah, yeah! Friendship and flowers and ponies!"
"I'm so totally over the cute pony thing."
Says the average MLP hater.
Is it too late to issue a severe storm warning?
You seem to not be able to control the power you hold! You are like a child, S.K!
"You'd have to be flying faster than a speeding Pegasus..."
"...to break through that wind!"
"Excellent idea, Rainbow Dash!"
"Yes, yes, you are every bit as powerful as I promised, Sire."
"And I swear to use my magic to serve you."
"Who cares about your dinky little unicorn horn?!"
"But... we... we had an agreement!"
"It's kind of what I do."
"Because this is what friends do."
Tempest's Bizarre Adventure - Redemption Arc.
"Isn't that just so sweet?"
And BOOM goes the dynamite!
Pinkie Pie just has the best faces in this movie, doesn't she?
"Pinkie! You all came back!"
"I'm so sorry! I was wrong to—"
Again, Twilight's not wrong in this situation. Take note of this.
Your friends are sorry too, Twilight. They were goofing off throughout the whole adventure.
"Friends mess up sometimes, but we never should've—"
"Uh, make up later! This isn't over!"
"I've gotta get control of it!"
"Go! You've got this, Twilight!"
"The staff belongs to me!"
This... this is true friendship...
There's one in every animated movie.
Everyone thinks the main character is gone...
So this is what true friendship looks like. I wish to join them, but...
...but the weight of my sins, my shame, is too great...
Is it me, or did the Staff shrink a little?
Aim for his left arm......
No! Stop! Please, wait! I've... I've-I've changed my mind!
If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me!
"Now... we fix everything."
"Fillies and gentlecolts, get ready for a little..."
"And now, to celebrate the fact..."
"...that we're all still here in one piece..."
"...for Princess Twilight and her friends!"
"All right! Way to go, guys!"
"Yeah!!!" Obligatory Bulk Biceps appearance.

"Well, that's one thing that never changes around here. The party."
"Well, I hope you'll stay. More friends are definitely merrier."
"You know, your horn is pretty powerful, just like the pony it belongs to."
"...I wanted to show everypony in Equestria what I could do, right?"

"Actually, that's not my real name."
"It's... Fizzlepop Berrytwist."
Tempest - er, Fizzlepop - you just overloaded Pinkie.
"Okay! That is the most awesome name..."
"...EVER!" *roll credits*
Spike, no- the Captain's leg is not a snack for you to digest!
Oh hey, Trixie and Starlight are here again. Oh, how we wonder what happened to them during the invasion......in fact, how come we haven't seen supporting characters like The Yaks, The Griffins, Ember and the Dragons, King Thorax and the reformed changelings, or even the Pillars of Equestria?
Well, what do you know? The Queen of the Hippos is a character in this film!
*insert NCIS "Yeah!!" intro here*
Even with her gem pegleg bitten, she can still groove with the best of them.
We're gonna need a lot of glue and tape.
Twilight still can't dance... Oh, well- nobody's perfect.
Film's over, everybody! Please proceed to the nearest exit....and hopefully not into Transformers 5.
Time for a clean up crew.
"In the magical land of Equestria, we have four powerful princesses."
"And then there's me - Twilight Sparkle, princess of friendship."
"It is my royal duty to make sure everypony feels like they belong. It's a lot to live up to. I mean, princess? No pressure!"
"Luckily, I have amazing friends who are there for me, no matter what. That's what I want for everypony."
"And I always believed that as long as I have my friends and a well-thought-out plan, I will be the princess everypony needs me to be."
"...you just can't plan for."
