In "My Little Pony Equestria Girls," Twilight Sparkle's crown is stolen from the Crystal Empire, and she must pursue the thief into an alternate world where she transforms into a teenage girl who must survive her biggest challenge yet... high school. With help from her new friends who remind her of Ponyville's Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, she embarks upon a quest to find the crown and change the destiny of these two parallel worlds.

"My Little Pony Equestria Girls" is executive produced by Stephen Davis, Chris Bartelman and Kristen Newlands. It stars the cast of "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic," including Tara Strong ("Twilight Sparkle"), Ashleigh Ball ("Applejack"; "Rainbow Dash"), Andrea Libman ("Fluttershy"; "Pinkie Pie"), Tabitha St. Germain ("Rarity"), and Cathy Weseluck ("Spike").

Leading into the premiere of "My Little Pony Equestria Girls" is the "Hub Network's My Little Pony Fan Favorite Poll" Winner Marathon (10:00 a.m. - noon ET), during which the "fan favorite" pony as voted by viewers will be unveiled.
