My Little Pony Friendship is Magic movie

[Raph's Girl]

Ok Bronies and Pegasisters (come on there's gotta be at least some around here). The hype for the upcoming 2017 theatrical film has begun!

The movie will be produced by Hasbro's Hallspark Pictures with Lionsgate doing the distro and marketing. Meghan McCarthy is writing it (I love most of the eps she's written for the show) and they've even gotten Kristin Chenoweth on board as a brand new character!! SW33T!! I love her music!! :D

I can't wait though I wonder if it will be flash animation or 3D animation.

Oh boy. This is gonna be the most awkward theater excursion I've had since that time I was all by myself at a showing of "Oliver and Company" back in 1996. :lol: At least I'll have my wife with me this time, so that'll be neat.

[Wildcat]

I heard about it awhile back and I'm happy there's gonna be movie because I love the show but I was hoping it would be live action.

Ya ya I know...but I mean live action as in still in their universe. Not meeting humans or anything like that.

Their world is so cute and bright I really wanted to see it brought to life. Though I'm sure it'll still look different. Like a fancier version of animation.

I'm going to go to the theatre on opening day just to take pictures of the rampant autism.

[Mayhem]

Yeah, that would be interesting to see the opening weekend crowds...

Considering O&C came out in 1988, I presume this was a re-run at the cinema? And you couldn't get it on VHS to watch? :P

I saw O&C in theaters when i was 7 when it first originally came out 4 times and dug it, one of my favorite Disney animated movies.

I can't wait for the MLP FIM movie, should be alot of fun since i'm a brony.

[Netkeeper]

Is this one going to feature actual ponies and not awkwardly-drawn humans?

[BubblyShell22]

That's awesome that Kristin Chenoweth is on board for this as I've always liked her. I think she'd be good as a villain since she's pretty good at that. She was great as Maleficent in Descendants.

[Allio]

I'm expecting horrible live action human cast guest starring cgi ponies

In America it had a re-release in theaters in 1996, as well as its first VHS release. They didn't release a VHS when it originally came out in '88, I think because it wasn't as profitable as Disney had hoped at the box office. Theater release was in Spring, and the VHS came out, happily, just before my Birthday later that same year.

What happened was, I saw it 3 times in theaters, the third time right before its run ended, the only showing they had was an 11pm, and absolutely nobody else showed up. :lol: Kinda nice, have the whole place to yourself.

2017 does seem a long ways away. I hope we will see some art/pics before the end of the year.

Actually O&C was successful in theaters but like other pre-Little Mermaid movies they had to save video releases for other dates even when they reissue movies in theaters like Great Mouse Detective which was successful and never had a video release for 7 years.

Yeah. This one is set in Equestria and beyond. They go on this adventure to other lands.

You're despicable. That is truly, truly a despicable statement.

Not only are you talking derogatory about a specific group of people, which in itself seems like a form of racism or bigotry, which i know it isn't based on race. You are using a mental illness as some kind of an insult. Did you think that was funny? That is in no way shape or form funny. You should be disgusted with yourself.

[Peanut]

It was a joke in poor taste. I shouldn't be making light of autisum, you're right. However, I won't lie and say I'll lose sleep over being "racist" against bronies.

[drgon78]

It is nice to finally get a MLP movie that is not human based. Don't get me wrong I actually like the EG movies but it was strange that we got 3 MLP movies that were not about ponies.

[Netkeeper]

Oh cool. I may go see it then, but probably only a few days after it starts showing. I am NOT getting in with the bronies. ****ing ew.

Pretty much.

[BabyTurtles]

Yay!! ^_^ can't wait!

[drgon78]

I hope there will be a battle as cool as Twilight vs Tirek .
