Entertainment Weekly did a brief article on the movie and they have a 360 view of the underwater kingdom. Complete with some bg music on a loop.

I hope they don't spend too much time underwater. I like regular ponies :grumpydash:

Just long enough to sell toys, I'm sure. :gotcha:

Anyway, I think this looks gorgeous. Good to finally see assets from the movie that weren't screwed up by a couldn't-care-less intern.

Spike being a pufferfish is way better than Spike being a dog, at least.

Lol not really, at least dog spike is kinda cute. Puffer fish spike just looks goofy and you know it'll just be to play that "puffs up at inopurtune times" joke like a half dozen times.

I'm going to hate the move sooo hard.
I detest seaponies. If they sing "shoo-be-doo" or a variation my brain will shut down. I was trolled and teased so much with that in the early days of my participation in the fandom that I can't react any other way by now.

I almost mentioned that myself. They've even shaped the cutie-mark fin to match the shapes of their manes/tails.

Also, is it just me or is Twilight about to shoot some hoops with the seapony Queen?

Equivalently, this will be like a four part episode time wise, right? We know how much they can do with a two-parter, I'm sure we will be impressed with how much they can cram into four part then.

I really wasn't expecting this much focus on the Seaponies. I was expecting more of a grand adventure to different locations, but it seems the sea is going to be the primary location for the film.


Poor Spike though.

I expect they'll still be normal ponies for most of the movie. The marketing focus we're getting on this part is perhaps because it's different from how they normally are, therefore it's an easy way to generate buzz.

Well a film distributor in Argentina posted this image to their Twitter account, and if you look closely you can see several of the Mane 6's pirate forms (including Angel) also Dash can be seen wearing a hat with goggles, so there's probably going to be a steampunk/airship part of the movie.

Hasbro: We're making an MLP movie.
Me: Awesome! Seeing ponies on the big screen will be amazing!
Hasbro: Actually they'll be highschool girls in the real world.
Me: Oh...
Hasbro: Just kidding, now we have a real MLP movie we'll show in more than 17 theaters.
Me: Finally! And it's traditional animation too, this is gonna be so--
Hasbro: Actually they're seaponies.
Me: Why can't there be a pony movie where they're ponies the whole time?
Hasbro: Because we love you.

There's zero chance they don't make a reference to G1 seaponies. They have no restraint and they know shoo-be-doo is a meme that the fandom likes (or used to like). The only question is how blatant it will be. Could be anything from a full blown song remix, to "shoo-be-doo" being their equivalent to "aloha."

Y'all, don't forget there's a bunch of stuff in the movie where they're (presumably) gonna have to be their normal selves. Think of the other characters we've seen so far, like Caelano (the bird), Capper (the cat), and Sia's ponysona. None of them look like they live underwater.

I was trying to think of the absolute worst way they could handle this...

Queen: Shoo-be-doo, pony guests.
Twilight: What's shoo-be-doo?
Queen: Shoo-be-doo means peace and harmony, it's what us seaponies are all about.
Twilight: Huh, I guess we're not so different afterall. Shoo-be-doo to you too!

[the Mane 6 laugh while saying "shoo-be-doo" to each other]

[throughout the movie, "shoo-be-doo" is used as a rallying cry, and then at the finale there's the part where it seems like the bad guy wins...]

Bad Guy: You ponies are weak. There's nothing left for you here. Why do you keep fighting when you know you'll lose?
Twilight: Shoo...be...doo...
Bad Guy: What?
Twilight: Shoo-be-doo, motherf*cker!

[rainbow lasers shoot out of Twilight]

[every character in the movie sings "shoo-be-doo" and makes a huge shoo-be-doo spirit bomb that obliterates the villain]

The film already has a seven character ensemble to deal with. I'm not expecting the new character to be all that prominent.

Predictions:

Sia has all the presence in the film as Gazelle in Zootopia. Probably there to give a performance for the Friendship Festival



Ponies meet Capper. Capper introduces them to Caelano. Caelano takes them to the sea ponies. Sea Ponies have the magic McGuffin to defeat the guy with the magic stick.

Y'all are gettin' really hysterical about ponies theoretically saying a word from 30 years ago.

Also, the story seems to have changed dramatically from the old Sony leaks, but those referred to a bunch of other races and locations. It's possible they're not showing all their cards yet, although I'm guessing we'd have heard about any other celebrity voice guests by now.

I think we would know more via toys by now, more than VA news.


As for Shoo Be Doo..

Bring it.

By all accounts, Bay hates working on those movies and only keeps taking the job because it pays well enough to fund stuff like Pain and Gain. So I don't doubt that he pushes for a minimum run time and pads out the effects budgets to stick it to Paramount.

They've already got some new person for the Bumblebee 'prequel' but at the same time, said prequel supposedly only will feature one robot - Bumblebee.

It's looking like the trailer will go on before Despicable Me 3, so it should be out sometime in the next week.
