My little pony where they switched signs. Cartoon Friendship is a miracle! My Little Pony list of main characters

Among children's autumn premieres.

If your voice is also there, or your child has already made you feel compelled to go to the cinema, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with a short list of facts useful for viewing of this cartoon. True, according to the first reviews, the plot of the cartoon does not depend on the series “Friendship is a Miracle”, and there is no need to watch the latter for a normal understanding of what is happening. But since this is still not an original cartoon, but an entry into the cinema of a franchise with a rich history, the following will be useful to you. Briefly, to the point and with a 100% effect on the child’s part - “Mom, do you know who this is?!”

They are so different, but still together

The main characters are six friendly young ponies, each unique, amazing and diverse in their own way. As you may have already noticed, they call everyone here “ponies”, but inside these magical horses are divided into ponies, unicorns, pegasuses and alicorns. Yes, these are the ones with a horn and wings at the same time. Alicorns are the recognized elite and always, above all, princesses. No, no one has ever seen alicorn boys.

Now you'll have to sprinkle in names (and in two translations!), but you don't need to remember them - just take these characters for granted. By the way, your daughter probably has her own favorite. And this is a great way to learn a little more about the child’s inner world.

And ponies also have special insignia - that is, drawings on the rump - they receive as they grow up, and these are damn important symbols.

Twilight Sparkle (Twilight Sparkle). The main character is diligent and kind, loves study, order and clear planning. She suffers from an overly corrosive conscience and anxiety, and is at times skeptical and cynical. Twilight has a cutie mark with a star because she is a mega-super-cool magician, one of the best in her magical country called Equestria (you don’t have to remember the name). Her “element of harmony” (mega-super weapon based on the friendship of all heroines) is, in fact, magic.

Oh yes. First, Sparkle is a unicorn, and from the finale of the third season - an alicorn, which automatically elevates her to the ranks of princesses. She was made the Princess of Friendship by the most important pony in the world - Celestia (also a princess, of course!), and this is an exceptional case; in general, ponies are born with a set of horns and wings.

Rarity

In a word - fashionista. A unicorn fashion designer whose business is as wonderful as it is amazing (after all, ponies almost never wear clothes!). Rarity is still a treasure, her character is spoiled and pampered, but she is very generous, and she embodies generosity.

The insignia is crystals, she simply adores them, it’s best friends girls ©.

Rainbow Dash (Rainbow Dash)

She is speed. She is the most athletic, gorgeous and unceremonious pegasus who has made flying the meaning of life. Rainbow is overly self-confident (read - she’s also impudent), loves adventure books, stupid pranks and dreams of flying in a big sport, but always stays with friends.

Represents loyalty. You already guessed about the insignia.

Fluttershy

Just a “cute”, timid, shy animal lover. Pegasus, who is afraid of flying, afraid of dragons, afraid of everything. However, Fluttershy still has a core inside her. For all her outward introversion and naivety, sometimes she is very surprising.

The insignia is butterflies, she is the personification of universal kindness and all the brightest and best that is in people. Sorry, in a pony.

Pinkie Pie

A pony whose calling is parties, fun and all other positive things. She herself is a walking, or rather, jumping positive, demolishing everything in her path with her unbreakable optimism.

Pinky is a professional party planner who embodies joy and laughter, her badge of honor being balloons. Weehoo!

Applejack

No, this is not the name of the alcohol, but the real name of the pony. There should be something about an apple farm, hard work, perseverance, physical strength and an apple farm again, but we’ll just say that it’s incredibly cool. And strong.

You can breathe out, the main characters are over. Let’s just add that they all live in a town called Ponyville, regularly save the world, use a special “friendship magic” using the above-mentioned “elements of harmony,” and are also lonely, hard-working girls in their early 20s. No, there are male characters in the series too. Sometimes.

The pony is much older than you think

These big-eyed, bright horses appeared in 2010, but they were also around when you were a child, just different. And only for girls 6-10 years old. Lauren Faust is the legendary author of a reboot that was a success (a rare occurrence).

EVOLUTION OF PONY AND OTHER CARTOON HEROES

This is what ponies from the 80s look like. They're still chubby. Nevertheless, many external and internal features of the heroines of the old series migrated to the new one.

"Bronies" exist

This is what fans of the series call themselves, that is, it is “fandom”. And yes, there are plenty of grown men among them. They will come to the cinemas with the children and you. Don’t be afraid - “bronies” are extremely peace-loving creatures and try to honor the covenants of friendship promoted in the series.

And to put it more globally: “fandom” is clearly capable of competing with similar communities in terms of “ Star Wars"or "Harry Potter". Yes, dear ones, we have a real cult before us.

Ponies make the world a better place

It follows from the previous point. “My little pony” consistently pulls people out of depression, helps them find friends and love in reality, and the list goes on. In general, they change lives dramatically - we have already talked about one such case.

By the way, according to the majority of child psychologists, everything is very good in ponies, they are recommended for the competent development of a child’s personality. Of course, sometimes there are radically opposing opinions that they kill children. Of course, it's up to you to decide who to listen to. But we agree with psychologists and consider the series very good. All in the name of friendship magic!

They are very poorly localized here

Here they speak like flat pieces of cardboard. It’s just that “My little pony” was extremely unlucky with localization, especially with the translation of names - you may have already noticed this yourself. The debate about whether the main character's name is Twilight or Twilight will rage for decades to come.

WHAT REALLY ARE THE NAMES OF PONOCHKA, GADNEY AND OTHER FAMOUS CARTOON CHARACTERS

By the way, according to the first reviews, the film was a little more lucky - at least the dubbing did not cause nausea in early domestic viewers, on the contrary.

There are other animals there

This universe is not alive alone. A variety of dragons, cats, donkeys, dogs and other animals are found there at every step, and in the film there will be even more of this goodness. At the same time, some animals are intelligent, like the ponies themselves, and some are not, just pets. I wonder how the upright talking cat from the film is related to the cat Opal, Rarity's favorite?

It’s especially good here with mythological creatures, both from our legends, like griffins and manticores, and those of our own. Yes, Discord, we're talking about you too.

The ponies themselves are also constantly divided into crystal ponies, werewolf ponies, and the writers still know which ones. We'll see mermaid ponies in the film - a great addition, don't you think? By the way, there is also another world where the same heroines appear as people. But this is just too much, don’t worry about it.

The series is much more dramatic than you think

And you may well like him. At least the story episodes are episodes 1-2 and 25-26 of each of the seven seasons. Everything in between is autonomous, daily routine adventures in the name of friendship, influencing the plot only insofar as. But what a range of topics! Especially in the later seasons, extremely important and very adult things are discussed. About fame and fashion, deception and business, power and crime, the importance of being yourself and so on.

The coverage of genres and locations is also impressive. At the same time, in the plots, everything always does not go according to plan or according to templates; there are end-to-end secrets, “tricks” carefully transferred from season to season, twisted and inventive scenarios. In general, the series really Interesting to watch for adults too.

More precisely, especially for adults, because it is for this category of viewers that “My Little Pony” has a lot of tasty things hidden. Subtle hints and cunning references, your own Doctor Who, all sorts of Easter eggs and topical irony. However, you don’t have to remember this point: the full-length film was aimed at a children’s audience. But there is a chance that some of this joy will be left for parents too.

Here's "Aria Cadence," a dramatic moment from the Season 2 finale with a werewolf villain masquerading as a princess. Just listen, watch and enjoy what seems like a “children’s” series.

Desperate to discover their talents on their own, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo decided to ask the older ponies how they got their cutie marks. Applejack said that as a child she wanted to live in a big city, but realized that it was not for her - and a rainbow that appeared in the sky from her home estate helped her in this. Fluttershy told about how she lived in Cloudsdale and was very bad at flying, but because of the Rainbow she came to earth, where she met many animals, with whom she decided to devote her life to communicating. Rarity learned of her talent when a rainbow split a stone with diamonds. The same rainbow helped Sparkle during the exam at the school of magic - it turned out that her magical talent was very strong, and Celestia herself took her as a student. Pinkie Pie was a sad pony as a child and her family worked in a quarry, but after seeing that same rainbow she completely changed her character, becoming the most cheerful pony. And the same rainbow that influenced the fates of other ponies, as it turned out, appeared thanks to Rainbow Dash, when she broke the speed of sound on a dare. An animated cartoon about the task of one of the characters, named Twilight Sparkle, who was sent by her teacher, Princess Celestia, on an important task - to find friends and learn what friendship is.
Twilight Sparkle, who, along with all the cartoon characters, lives in the fairy-tale country of Equestria, goes to the city of Ponyville, accompanied by the dragon Spike, whom the princess sent to look after and help the student. They meet various people of the country and become friends with some of them. Every day Twilight Sparkle sends her report to her mentor, Princess Celestia, about new adventures and events.
A fairyland where ponies live Equestria, which is also populated by different residents (read the names of the My Little Pony characters below), among which there are unicorns, which include little Twilight Sparkle, as well as Earth ponies, Pegasi and Alicorns. Every resident of this country lives for a reason, but has their own responsibilities, they are endowed with magic and magical powers.
Unicorns all have one horn, which contains their magic, and also know how to use telekinesis. They are a type of pony with a horn.
Earth ponies are mainly engaged in various types agriculture, so among all the inhabitants they are closest to nature. Ponies are very hardworking and this is what their species is famous for.
Pegasi in the country they control the weather, they manage this with ease, since from birth Pegasi are endowed with wings, which allows them to fly among the clouds, on which, by the way, they can also walk.
Alicorns a separate species, there are very few of them, but they are the most powerful in the country, since they embody elements of the other three species at once, they are not just ponies, but ponies with wings and a horn. They have great mystical power; there are only five of them in the whole country.
