My Little Pony: Equestria Girls (also known as My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Magical Movie Night on home media release[1] and My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Tales of Canterlot High on Netflix)[2] is a trilogy of animated television specials based on Hasbro's toyline and media franchise of the same name, which in turn is a spin-off of the 2010 relaunch of the main My Little Pony toyline. As with prior installments in the Equestria Girls franchise, the specials follow the main characters from the television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, re-envisioned as humanoid teenagers attending high school.

Three 22-minute animated specials were produced by DHX Media's 2D animation studio in Vancouver, Canada for Hasbro Studios in the United States. After being announced in October 2016,[3] they aired from June 24 to July 8, 2017, on Discovery Family (a joint venture between Discovery Communications and Hasbro).[4]
