Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers is a 2022 animated-live action hybrid film that features official cameos from characters of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, such as the Mane Six. It was released on May 16, 2022 in Orlando, Florida, and May 16, 20 on Disney+. The ponies are animated using the models from My Little Pony: The Movie, making this the second time those models were reused for a major production, the first being for My Little Pony: Rainboow Roadtrip.
Given the metafictional nature of the film, it can be assumed these are not intended to be the same exact characters from Friendship is Magic but instead 'actors' who portray these characters. A similar theme was used in the 2019 series, My Little Pony: The Retro Show, namely its segment, Behind the Friendship which portrayed the characters of My Little Pony as dysfunctional and shallow people 'behind the scenes'.
In an introduction to the film, they are introduced as 'my best friends'.
