Re: My Little Pony: The Movie: The Spoiler Thread
Other thoughts, I wonder if they'll actually set hippogriffs up as pony/griffon mixes, or just have them as their own race?

In what language does griff mean eagle? As far as I'm aware a Hippogriff was historically viewed as half horse, half griffin.

"Aquila"
From the Wikipedia page on Griffins:
"The derivation of this word remains uncertain. It could be related to the Greek word γρυπός (grypos), meaning 'curved', or 'hooked'. Also, this could have been an Anatolian loan word, compare Akkadian karūbu (winged creature), and similar to Cherub. A related Hebrew word is כרוב (kerúv).[5]"

Fizzbuzz wrote:That, or perhaps they all show up in the film. I wouldn't be surprised if there's at least one crowd shot where we see as many one-off characters and background ponies as possible, much like the stadium audience we saw in Equestria Games.

Table read with the full cast of an upcoming scene.
Queen of the hippos... leave equestria. Hungry, hungry, hippos.
It was a table read of a scene from the MOVIE!!!!
Movie Character: Somber Songbird Serenade. Played by Sia

So not sure who to trust on this one, but cool that Sia is gonna be in it, maybe she gets to sing on a song
Going way back to the Sony leaks where the plot was vaguely referred to in an email, it's possible the sea ponies is one of three places to go to get the three stones/MacGuffins, etc. I will say that the opening with Spike sending letters the nostalgic way etc. sounds pretty legit to me.
So from that I can gather, some guy named Cosmo shows up and says ponies don't belong in Equestria and starts a bunch of ruckus. The only only way to stop him is to collect the stones of water, air and fire and to get them they have to transform into a different pony species each themed after their respective stone. So far the new ponies will be seaponies, hippogriffs and I can only imagine the fire ponies will either be nightmares or those dragon things from Thems' Fightin' Herds

Fizzbuzz wrote:Have we gotten a good look at the wings of more regular pegasi? New characters tend to more often have unique faces, eyes, hairstyles, etc., than those from the early days of the show, so this could just be another case of that.
DerFurShur wrote:So 50/50 on this being her actual character or just a pony version of Sia they made specifically for the announcement.
PS: What other movies of yours are you excited to show your kids?
EB: The animated ones; I did Animal Crackers with John [Krasinski], which was so fun and cute. And I did My Little Pony, though I'm a nasty pony in that, which was kinda fun. I'm excited about Mary Poppins. I think Salmon Fishing in the Yemen's a really good movie. I think some of these movies where I'm making out with other guys, they're gonna be like "Ewww!"
The First clip is now showing on the screen, it makes everyone really excite and goosebump. Yes, it’s a movie trailer. No No No, not the trailer you saw on the last week. It’s a new one, never before seen, with a near complete version of the animation. Production is very terrific. The frame rate is very high, the background is so detail, character animation is so life-like, and so smooth. (Sorry, Hasbro not let us to take any photo out of it). The clip also contained several new songs from our guest stars (including SIA!).
After we saw it, the hall is now filled with fan praising the show.
But yet, it’s not over yet. The MC now announce that we have 2 more clips to show, and you will never believe about what you see it today.
The 2nd clip is unexpected, it filled with cinematic feeling. The Pegasus are flying to somewhere, the screen is show the life in Equestria with orchestrated music. And it’s end up with the logo: My Little Pony the Movie. It’s wowed all people in the hall, because they never believe what they saw. It’s the OPENING scene of the Movie!!
The 3rd clip is show on the screen nonstop. Guess what is it? It’s a music video cut from the movie, but it’s not a complete version. It’s an animatic! The song is sang by *** and *** and ___ playing wood drums on it. It’s so Disney-que (Remembered Moana, Frozen, and Aladdin) and you will never disappoint. (We can’t spoil it, to ensure our safety and guaranteed your compliment when you see it).
You will never believe it! We not got just 1 clip but 3. 3 unreleased clips!!! Hasbro is very generous to us.
