History WesternAnimation / MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsMagicalMovieNight

* {{Adorkable}}: Twilight and Rainbow Dash squeal with delight at the chance to see their favorite book series come to life. Juniper Montage as well, though it takes a much less endearing turn when her obsession makes her willing to sabotage the movie of her dreams in order to star in it.

* {{Adorkable}}:
** Starlight Glimmer. While trying to convince Sunset to let her go back with her to the human world, she jumps around like an excited child, and puts on a set of exaggerated PuppyDogEyes. During her time in the human world, she enjoys an ice cream, getting the treat all over her face, and reacting with confusion after some of it drops off while she's talking to Sunset.
** Juniper Montage, despite the fact that she's the villain, is still quite dorky. As evident by her huffy tantrums, her awkward attempts to use the magic mirror, as well as being stuck in an embarrassing dead-end job with a silly uniform.

-->'''Juniper Montage:''' What I've done is... is... unforgivable.

** Like Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle did before her, Starlight Glimmer is a pony from Equestria who gets to experience becoming human for a while. She has trouble getting around on two legs [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls2013 just like Twilight at first]], though she quickly adjusts.

* AwesomeDearBoy: InUniverse example. Chestnut Magnifico is presented in the special, at first, as being disinterested in the Daring Do movie given a phone call she makes suggesting that she wants out of the production. In actuality, she’s 100% onboard with the movie, as said call was to reschedule another project because it would interfere with shooting the Daring Do movie.

''My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Magical Movie Night'' is the fifth major installment in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' franchise, itself a spin-off of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. In a departure from previous films, this is actually a three-part MiniSeries of animated specials that follow the daily lives of the "Equestria Girls" after the events of the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsLegendOfEverfree fourth film]]. The stories are as follows:

%% "Equestria Girls" is acceptable since it is used in the novelizations.

* {{Homage}}: The whole plot, and partially the atmosphere, are very reminiscent of a ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' episode. With suspicious acts of sabotage, clues scattered around, a cloaked villain sneaking about, the comic relief and dog looking for food, [[LetsSplitUpGang the gang splitting]], a {{chase scene}}, a trap laid for the bad guy, and even a [[TheSummation Summation]] at the end to clear up the mystery, complete with a "meddling kids"-style line from the villain. Seriously, the only thing missing is Twilight having a DroppedGlasses scene.

* MagicMirror: In addition to the portal between Equestria and the human world, there is the hand mirror Juniper Montage finds that lets her see herself as what she imagines herself to be (a famous movie star adored by all), and traps anything and anyone she so strongly desires inside it. In short, it works exactly like [[Franchise/HarryPotter the Mirror of Erised]] crossed with [[Franchise/EverAfterHigh the Booking Glass]].

* ImagineSpotting: During each of the {{Imagine Spot}}s, the girls other than the one narrating seem to be perfectly able to see what's going on and react accordingly. Notably, Rarity being aghast at her clothes in Applejack's scene, all of them panicking from the danger in Rainbow Dash's romp, or looking around in confusion from Pinkie Pie's rambling.

** Like their pony counterparts, Twilight and Rainbow Dash are fans of the ''Daring Do'' series, so Twilight knows Rainbow's ripping it off during her ImagineSpot.

** The events of the last film caused a not-insignificant amount of damage to Camp Everfree, and even though the hastily set up fundraiser was successful to get the funds to pay the debts to Filthy Rich, they weren't enough for the necessary repairs.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed:
** Canter Zoom is [[https://mobile.twitter.com/isitlunchyet_t/status/886718843778875392 modeled after]] Creator/GeorgeARomero, down to the exact shape of his glasses.
** He also resembles Creator/GeorgeLucas, writer of the ''Indiana Jones'' movies, which in turn were the inspiration for ''Daring Do''.
* OutOfContextEavesdropping: Rarity and Fluttershy hears the tail end of a call Chestnut Magnifico is having with her agent, which make them suspicious of her since it seems like she wants to quit filming Canter Zoom's movie. In fact, she was ranting about another contract, a nature documentary that wasn't what she expected, and which would conflict with her current work. She's perfectly happy to extend her contract for the Daring Do role as needed once it's cleared up.

** The title of the film ''Stormy with a Side of Pudding'' is inspired by ''Film/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs''.

** They also visit the set of ''[[Film/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs Stormy with a Side of Pudding]]'', which Pinkie Pie states is her favorite movie.

* ExactWords: When Sunset asks Starlight if Princess Twilight would approve of her taking a trip to the human world, Starlight says that she can't be sure the Princess ''wouldn't'' approve. Sunset finds that unconvincing, but Starlight talks her into it. (Twilight has no objections when she finds out.)

** Sunset Shimmer has been away from Equestria and what her pony form can do for so long that she forgets how to "hold" the new book that Starlight Glimmer has given her by telekinesis magic. After Sunset flails with her hooves to try to pick it up, Starlight quietly points out she's a unicorn too, and Sunset remembers how to use magic again.

-->'''Juniper Montage:''' This should be MY night! I would've found a way to be in the film if you had stayed out of it!

* ImagineSpot: As the Rainbooms brainstorm to find a new theme for their music video, we get imaginary scenes led by Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. Except instead of dancing, Applejack's is about eating apple fritters because she's hungry, Rainbow Dash's is an adventure scene ripped out of a ''Daring Do'' book, and Pinkie Pie's is just a stream-of-consciousness silliness.

* InsultBackfire: When Rarity tells Sour Sweet her idea for the dance video, Sour Sweet responds that it "sounds great if you're going for 'way too over the top'." Rarity replies with a chipper "Thanks!"

* ArtisticLicenseAnimalCare: Pinkie Pie feeds Spike the Dog with some of Chestnut's imported praline candy bars; while just feeding the dog whatever candy is irresponsible enough (excessive amounts of sugar are toxic).

* FauxShadow: The peanut butter praline crunch bars look like a ChekhovsGag early on, but they aren't. They're just a junk food enjoyed by several characters, including the villain.

* {{Homage}}: The whole plot, and partially the atmosphere, are very reminiscent of a ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' episode. With suspicious acts of sabotage, clues scattered around, a cloaked villain sneaking about, the comic relief and dog looking for food, [[LetsSplitUpGang the gang splitting]], a {{chase scene}}, a trap laid for the bad guy, and even a [[TheSummation Summation]] at the end to clear up the mystery, complete with a "meddling kids" style line from the villain. Seriously, the only thing missing is Twilight having a DroppedGlasses scene.

* BulletDodgesYou: Not bullets, but Twilight uses telekinesis to stop a rain of chocolate-covered almonds, ''Matrix''-style.

-->'''Pinkie Pie:''' Nope! [[BreakingTheFourthWall No wall over here!]]

* ShoutOut: After Twilight makes the chocolate almonds that were raining on them float in the air through telekinesis, Pinkie Pie starts eating them ''VideoGame/PacMan''-style.

* GenreSavvy: Starlight Glimmer don't know much about how the mirror's magic works, but she still does a good job repeatedly hedging her bets during the final confrontation with Juniper. When Juniper wishes that the mirror would imprison Starlight, Starlight points the mirror at Juniper in the off-chance the mirror [[RayGun shoots its magic at whatever it's facing]]. When the mirror doesn't do anything, she realizes that the mirror only works for whoever's holding it. She then tries to wish the girls out of the mirror herself, but that doesn't work either. Only then does she change tactics completely and try to [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath convince Juniper that revenge isn't what she really wants]].

* HeelFaceTurn: Juniper Montage follows up on MLP tradition by being the latest baddie to become friends with the main characters. She is last seen hanging out with the Equestria Girls (and Starlight Glimmer) in the end of the special.

* BroughtDownToNormal: Upon stepping out of the portal, Starlight Glimmer is turned into a human. This means she no longer has her unicorn magic, nor can she transform like the Rainbooms can. She has to rely on her ingenuity alone to save Sunset Shimmer and her friends.

* GenreSavvy: Starlight Glimmer (and the audience) don't know much about how the mirror's magic works, but she still does a good job repeatedly hedging her bets during the final confrontation with Juniper. When Juniper wishes that the mirror would imprison Starlight, Starlight points the mirror at Juniper in the off-chance the mirror [[RayGun shoots its magic at whatever it's facing]].

* WasItReallyWorthIt: Rainbow Dash laments to Juniper Montage that if she hadn't tried to ruin the Daring Do movie, she would be celebrating the premiere with rest of the girls instead of being stuck in the mess she's in now. Juniper [[NeverMyFault doesn't respond to it well]].

* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: When Juniper Montage is trying to the hang of using the magic mirror again.

''My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Magical Movie Night'' is the fifth major installment in the ''Franchise/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' franchise, itself a spin-off of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. In a departure from previous films, this is actually a three-part MiniSeries of animated specials that follow the daily lives of the "Equestria Girls" after the events of the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsLegendOfEverfree fourth film]]. The stories are as follows:

* EasilyForgiven: Practically a ForegoneConclusion in the ''Franchise/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' 'verse at this point. After Juniper is turned back to normal, the Rainbooms and Starlight accept her apology and say they've been there before, with Starlight, Twilight, and Sunset mentioning their evil deeds that they were forgiven for. Unlike in "Movie Magic", it's totally played straight and Juniper actually gets off rather lightly, despite doing something comparatively worse. Lampshaded by Pinkie Pie:

** Like Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle did before her, Starlight Glimmer is a pony from Equestria who gets to experience becoming human for a while. She has trouble getting around on two legs [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls just like Twilight at first]], though she quickly adjusts.

-->'''Starlight Glimmer''': I'm sure they're around. What's the worst that could've happened?

* ArtisticLicenseAnimalCare: Pinkie Pie feeds Spike the Dog with some of Chestnut's imported praline candy bars; while just feeding the dog whatever candy is irresponsible enough (excessive amounts of sugar are toxic), among praline's main ingredients is chocolate, which dogs are highly allergic to.
** Well, the sugar's an issue, anyway -- praline is actually a simple nut candy, made with pecans, brown sugar and butter. None of which are particularly food for dogs. Though not actively toxic, they do provoke digestive upset.
