LEGO Equestria Girls (Blooper Reel)
“What kind of place is this?” asked Princess Twilight Sparkle as she looked around at all the strange sights and sounds of the city around her.
Twilight and Spike jumped a little when one young individual rode by on his skateboard, laughing excitedly as he zoomed past them. But then his skateboard suddenly jerked to a stop and he was sent flying off onto the sidewalk.
Twilight and Spike immediately rushed over to the fallen skateboard rider. “Are you okay?” asked Twilight with concern.
“I’m fine,” replied the skateboarding kid as he got up and walked over to his skateboard. When he picked it up, he noticed that one of the 2x2 tiles that made up the sidewalk was sticking out on one side. Everyone immediately realized that the kid had been thrown off because his skateboard had smacked into that loose part.
“I guess somebody will need to fix the sidewalk over here,” remarked the skateboarder kid.
Spike smiled as he walked over to the loose tile and then stomped down on it, pushing it back into place. “There! Problem solved!” declared Spike with pride.
Twilight couldn’t help but giggle at that.
The seven members of Canterlot City’s new LEGO Team were seated inside a spaceship they had just custom built out of debris from their previous spaceship. Rainbow Dash was in the pilot’s seat, and although she already got the spaceship hovering over the lunar base’s landing pad, she was struggling to find the button that would raise the landing gear.
“Hmm… maybe this one will raise the landing gear,” said Rainbow Dash before she pressed a random button.
That button caused the emergency escape hatch in the roof to open, and since they were out in the vacuum of space, this caused the air inside to spaceship to immediately start rushing out. Thankfully, everyone already had their seatbelts on, so they didn’t have to worry about getting sucked outside — although Applejack and Spike had to hold their hats down to avoid losing them.
Rainbow Dash quickly pressed that button again and the hatch closed up. Rainbow let out a sigh of relief and said, “That was way too close.” She then turned to one of the film cameras inside the spaceship and asked, “Can we cut this part out? I don’t want people to see how I almost took us all out because of a silly mistake.”
Just outside of Trixie’s castle, as the battle raged on all around them, Rainbow Dash and Applejack were using a catapult they had just assembled from the wreckage of the siege machine. Their intended target was obviously the walls of Trixie’s castle.
As Applejack climbed up onto a small raised platform beside the catapult’s flinging arm, Rainbow Dash loaded a Lego boulder into the bucket. Applejack then jumped off the platform and intended to stomp down on the flinging arm to launch the boulder, but she jumped a little too far forward and ended up slipping off the side of the arm and hit the solid ground in an awkward position.
Rainbow immediately ran around the catapult over to where Applejack had fallen. “You okay?” asked Rainbow as she helped her friend up.
“Ah’m alright,” replied Applejack as she slowly stood up. She looked over at the catapult, then scoffed and quipped, “Too bad we don’t have some fleshy giant who could just flick this thing with a finger.”
Princess Twilight Sparkle and rookie police officer Flash Sentry were standing in front of the safety vault inside the police station, with Twilight holding her magical crown. Spike suddenly rushed into the room with a panicked look on his face — due to seeing Sunset Shimmer inside a vehicle parked right outside the police station — while also carry an empty box.
“I thought I told you to keep your hands off the donuts!” scolded Flash.
“WHERE ARE MY DONUTS!?!” shouted someone in the room Spike had just come from.
“And that is why,” added Flash. “Better start running, kid.”
Spike immediately dropped the empty box and began running away while screaming.
“Hey! Take the box with you!” exclaimed Flash as he picked up and tossed the empty box towards the fleeing Spike. “I don’t wanna get blamed for something you did!”
Twilight simply sighed and facepalmed.
Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie were gathered in the briefing area of Canetlot City’s LEGO Team Headquarters building. The arrival of the final member of their new team was announced by the steading beeping of a forklift as it slowly moved forward.
“Just packing a few necessities,” said Rarity.
Behind her, as the forklift came to a stop, it suddenly began to tip forward, causing the operator to let out a yelp of panic. By the time everyone’s attention was on the forklift, it had tipped forward far enough that Rarity’s luggage tumbled off, and with all of that excessive weight suddenly gone, the forklift quickly dropped back down onto its base with a hard impact.
“Ow! There goes my coccyx…” groaned the forklift operator.
Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie burst out laughing while Applejack playfully remarked, “Wow, Rarity. Ya actually managed to overload the forklift! Now there’s a first.”
Back at the rebuilt spaceship hovering over the lunar base, Rainbow Dash continued to struggle finding the correct button for raising the landing gear.
“Let’s see… how about… this one?” said Rainbow as she pushed another random button.
That button caused a disco ball to lower from the ceiling and start rotating. Lights began spinning around the room as some funky music also began to play. Most of the team simply looked around with confused expressions, while Pinkie Pie happily danced to the beat in her seat.
“Why would a spaceship even have a feature like that?” asked Applejack in confusion.
Rainbow hit that button again, shutting off the music and retracting the disco ball.
“Aww…” moaned Pinkie in disappointment as she slumped in her seat.
“Can we cut this part out, too?” asked Rainbow as she faced one of the film cameras inside the spaceship. “This is starting to get a little ridiculous.”
Princess Twilight Sparkle stood in front of the gatehouse into Prince Shining Armor’s castle. She had been about to rush through when the gate suddenly closed right in front of her.
“Halt!” said a guard from atop the gatehouse and aiming his pike down at Twilight. “Who goes there?”
Twilight looked up at the guard and replied, “My name is, uh… Starlight… Glimmer!”
“Cut!” shouted the director from behind the film cameras. “You were supposed to say ‘Starlight Sparks’!”
Twilight giggled nervously and responded, “Sorry. I kinda forgot my line and tried to improvise.” She paused as a thought occurred to her, then she added, “Although ‘Starlight Glimmer’ does sound like an interesting name. Do you think we could introduce a character with that name in a future episode of the main series?”
“Eh, we’ll consider it,” replied the director.
Pinkie Pie flew a hang glider directly towards one of the large windows on the side of Canterlot City’s LEGO Team Headquarters building. For this scene, she was going to slam into that window, slowly slide down it with squeaky noises, then get picked up by a giant claw that would drop her inside the large room with the rest of the newly formed team.
However, when she hit that window, she ended up smashing right through it, sending bits of glass flying into the room. Pinkie quickly lost control of the hang glider and crashed to the floor.
As everyone rushed over to check on her, Pinkie got up effortlessly from the shattered wreckage of her hang glider and quickly said, “I’m okay, everyone! I’m alright! Don’t worry!”
As everyone visibly relaxed to see that she was okay, Pinkie looked up at the shattered window and remarked, “Wow… I think we’re gonna need a stronger window for this scene.”
Between takes, Rocky and Mugsy were leaning their backs against the brick-built cage — which was completely empty at the moment — and each of them were holding a mug of coffee in their hands.
“Boy, Rocky, we sure did catch a lucky break, didn’t we?” remarked Mugsy.
“You said it, Mugsy!” agreed Rocky with a grin. “Just two guys tryin’ to make ends meet, turnin’ to the ol’ life of crime ‘cause we ain’t no good at nothin’ else. Then as soon as we get busted, some film producer comes along an’ bails us out in exchange for givin’ us a minor role in some new series, all because we got this ‘real world experience’ he was lookin’ for.”
“And now we’re making so much money doing fake crimes, we can make a good living without having to do the real deal ever again,” added Mugsy contently.
Rocky chuckled and remarked, “Who says crime never pays?”
“Not us!” cheered Rocky and Mugsy simultaneously. They then tapped their mugs together and both took a sip of their coffee.
Once again inside the custom spaceship hovering over the lunar base, Rainbow Dash was still struggling to figure out which button would raise the landing gear.
“Sooner or later, I’m gonna figure this out,” grumbled Rainbow as she glanced over all the buttons on the console in front of her. “Let’s try… this one.”
As soon as Rainbow pressed that next button, the airbag inside her flight controls suddenly deployed, causing her to get smacked in the face and thrown back into her seat.
Fluttershy immediately removed her seatbelt and rushed over to check on Rainbow. “Are you okay?” she asked worriedly.
With her face still against the airbag, Rainbow let out a muffled groan. As the airbag began to deflate, she pressed down on it with her hands. Once her face was free, she asked, “Why is there even a button for this thing? I thought it was supposed to be automatic in a crash.”
Pinkie Pie — the one who had built this custom spaceship — giggled nervously and confessed, “I, uh, kinda thought it’d be funny.”
The rest of the minifigs aboard the spaceship grumbled in disapproval. “It’s all fun and games until someone takes an airbag to the face,” scolded Rarity.
As the cast and crew prepared to get ready for the next scene, the director sat in his chair and took a sip from his mug of coffee.
Princess Twilight Sparkle held her script in her hands as she walked over to the director and asked, “Um, excuse me? Am I reading this correctly? Do you really want me to refer to Pinkie Pie in this scene as Oinkie Pie?”
The director looked closely at the part of the script Twilight was pointing out. “Uh, nope. That is a typo,” replied the director as he took out a pen and scribbled over Twilight’s script to correct the error. “Sorry about that.”
Twilight’s question was apparently overheard by the rest of the cast, because Pinkie Pie immediately burst out laughing and exclaimed, “Best typo ever!” As she continued laughing, she at one point even managed to snort like a pig.
Rainbow Dash chuckled and remarked, “If somebody got this on camera, then it’s totally going into the blooper reel.”
“Oh, I got it alright,” confirmed the cameraman from behind the film camera that was being used at the moment.
“Nice!” remarked Spike pleasantly.
“Wings? I’m thrilled that’s all I’ll be dealing with back in Equestria,” said Princess Twilight Sparkle as she and Spike walked towards the interdimensional portal back to Equestria.
However, rather than pass through the barrier, they ended up smacking into a solid wall. After rubbing her face from the mild impact, Twilight glanced back and asked, “Did someone forget to flip the intangence switch on this wall?”
“Whoops! My bad!” called out one of the technicians behind the camera.
Once she saw the technician correct the mistake, Twilight pressed her hand against the wall and smiled as she watched it pass right through the wall like it wasn’t even there. “It’s amazing how certain special effects can be achieved with the right kind of technology,” she remarked. “And to think that some people believe CGI is the only way to go. This right here is proof that a movie can be made as authentic as possible.”
