Sex and nudity in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Forgotten Friendship

A brief scene shows the main characters at the beach wearing modest, age-appropriate one- and two-piece swimsuits. The moment is not sexualized in any way.

Violence and gore in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Forgotten Friendship

Violence is minimal, brief, and highly stylized. It consists of a few tense verbal confrontations and a climactic scene where the characters use magical beams of light to destroy an enchanted object. No one is physically harmed, and the cartoon animation style prevents any sense of real danger.

Language in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Forgotten Friendship

Language is extremely mild. There is a single instance of tame name-calling where a character is called a 'manipulative blowhard'. Otherwise, the dialogue is completely free of profanity.

Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Forgotten Friendship

None. Alcohol, tobacco, and drugs are not depicted or referenced.

Mature themes in My Little Pony: Equestria Girls - Forgotten Friendship

The central themes may be upsetting for younger children. The plot involves a character magically erasing people's memories, causing a group of close friends to suddenly turn on the protagonist. This explores feelings of loneliness, being misunderstood, and social ostracism. A main character also makes a heroic sacrifice by allowing all of her own memories to be erased, which is a moment of significant emotional peril, though it is reversed shortly after.
