ShieldedDiamond wrote:Well, typically Hasbro doesn't like TV shows running into the movies. Transformers typically goes on hiatus or ends when a movie is coming up. So I see it as the last season will be 2016 (as this season is 2015) and then my guess is the movie will be as early as possible 2017. Logical, as I doubt MLP could do as well during the summer, with the typical giants that come out then.


Yeah, gotta agree here, even if FIM continues after the movie, there might be a delay for a seventh season till after it comes out.

But back to the actual content of the film, while I have no doubt an "epic adventure" will play a part in it, I do hope it can have some good heart-tugging Feels & Slice of life moments as well. And comedy on par with the show. *knock on wood*

Say, do you think this movie would...explain the concept of the show a little bit? For parents that haven't seen FiM and know nothing about it?

I could see then doing a storybook style explanation of the story so far, like an extended version of the one from the first episode.

Traditional animation wouldn't necessarily be better, though, just different. It would still be a change in style that's not particularly warranted.

Based on Kanashiipanda's YouTube animations (which are all hand-drawn), I think the show would translate quite well to a hand-drawn style. Seriously, dude's toons look dope! :-P

Yeah, I think it'd look attractive to see MLP in a 2D traditional form as well. It's a longshot but I think it could work.

Neh, im on board that the movie is gonna be the end of the G4 too.

Three years...is much time, don´t know if its a good idea. God knows in what point is going to be the show/the pony fandom/the bronies when this airs on cinemas.

But im sure that the interest on the MLP franchise for 2017 is going to be lowered a LOT.

You never know. If the show continues having good quality and parents introduce it to their children, I think the interest will last that long.

I doubt it, if Pokemon & Spongebob can still be popular with kids *and in pokes case lots of nerds & gamers* even after more then a decade, no reason pony can't. *

As for the fanbase, I think it'll be pretty much the same size, it'll probably stop growing as fast by 2017. But it'll still be sizable enough.

Nah Cadance and Twilight take Equestria and make it law that every greeting use the Ladybugs Awake dance

Sunset becomes princess of Canterlot High, only she becomes a literal one and they turn the school into a castle

Movie details revealed:

It's the year 2025, the Changelings have taken over Equestria. Stationed on 2 of Equestria's moons, Twilight Sparkle attempt to lead a run to Ponyville City on Earth, when the ship is stormed by Changelines. Twilight gets into a fight with Chrysalis, and both are fatally wounded in the process. Twilight passes the Maretrix of Leadership which was never revealed to exist until now to Sunset Shimmer, and Chrysalis gets reformed into Galvasalis by Unicorn the Destroyer.

Hasbro did learn not to kill off the most beloved character way back in 1986, after all.

Or at least, if they are going to do it, don't do it while also butchering the entire cast :smirk:

Just for context, after Transformers: The Movie hit audiences, they hurriedly changed the GI Joe movie to not kill off one of its good guys.

Hasbro's never really had what you might call a "plan" for how to handle their child audiences. :-I

That does raise a good point, though. If they're going to do a big budget, big screen MLP movie, Hasbro is probably going to want it to sell new toys. Since I don't see it killing off and replacing the main cast, and they already did New Power Upgrade! Ponies (not that they couldn't do it again), I wonder what we'll see. Flutterponies? Cutie Marked Cutie Mark Crusaders? 5 new Alicorn Princesses? :twonk:

Actually I'd rather like to see the CMC get their marks, but that would seem better suited to a slice of life story and I agree the movie will probably be a high stakes adventure. So my money is on either a new appearance for the mane 6 or introduction of a new line race of toys ponies.

They did intend to bring him back to life after the movie right off the bat. As a violent zombie. The same will happen with Twilight. :-I

Fun fact, making it so Duke stayed alive actually made the case worse for Optimus. Tons of additional angry letters were sent in saying "How come Duke made it out, but Prime still died?"
