MLP:EG Dance Magic

This is the first half hour Equestria Girls TV special. It was written by Gillian M. Berrow, who has written two episodes of the TV show (The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows, Fluttershy Leans In). It was directed by Ishi Rudell (who directed the last two Equestria Girls feature films and co directed the second one) and Katrina Hadley (who has worked as a storyboard artist for the show).

 To be honest it is entertaining but resembles the TV episode Rarity Takes Manehatten too much to really stand out. The similarities are very strong and it feels like you have seen this story before. The jokes work but are nothing too special to make this stand as anything new. Probably the most delightful part is the childlike drawing for Pinkie's fantasy. The characters are all just as likable as ever as well. Again the problem is this is pretty much a remake of an episode of the show without adding anything to make it stand out to the equation, but it is still quite entertaining.
