My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Legend of Everfree is a 2016 Canadian–American animated musical fantasy film sequel to 2015's My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games, written by Kristine Songco and Joanna Lewis, and directed by Ishi Rudell. The film was produced by DHX Media's 2D animation studio in Vancouver, Canada for Hasbro Studios in the United States as a part of Hasbro's Equestria Girls toy line and media franchise, which is a spin-off of the 2010 relaunch of My Little Pony. Prior to its release in the United States on Netflix on October 1, 2016, the film was first broadcast on Discovery Kids in Latin America on September 24, 2016. It received a home media release in the United States and Canada on November 1, 2016.
Like the first three Equestria Girls films, Legend of Everfree re-envisions the main characters of the parent franchise, normally ponies, as teenage human characters in a high school setting. The film's plot concerns the students of Canterlot High School attending a field trip to Camp Everfree, which becomes plagued with bizarre magical circumstances relating to a local urban legend.
The film will be followed by three TV specials sometime in 2017.
