My Little Pony Movie thread

Alright then, that makes sense. But I'm still gonna parrot that this should've been in the film in some form or another. There was that flashback during the villain song (guess if you could call it a villain song), they could've found space to fit that in there.

Tempest and her friends were actually practising lifting a ball with magic (the thing they do in the flashback) so they could enter Celestia's magic school (Pony version of Harvard).
Since her horn got destroyed by the Ursa Minor (the name of the bear that attacks her) her magic got out of control and she could only watch how all her friends become succesful ponies in life while she got left behind.
