Probably why Rainbow Rocks isn't out yet

[VelvetRose 0]

they are wasting there time animating shorts and not the movie I mean they should have all hands on deck :L

or they don't have the full story board witch is some what under stainable I mean you have season 5 and the movie witch has the same voice actors but still they should make shorts they should get to work

 

than also they better be adding a human discord

I think it's more likely that the team animating the shorts is a different team than the one animating the movie.

I think that's as close as you're going to get.

Most people, like GTA, have 2 teams working on 2 different things, one team works on the story mode while the other works on Online. So they probably have a team working on the movie and a team working on the shorts. Or they animate the shorts in their down time. But I highly doubt that they would stop animating the movie just to animate some shorts.

DHX doesn't create movies out of thin air that easily. The reason they make shorts is to boost their sales and the movie as well as to foreshadow on what is going to happen in Rainbow Rocks. Also, from what I've heard somewhere, most MLP: FiM episodes actually take months or even a year to be made. You shouldn't assume DHX is wasting their time simply because Rainbow Rocks hasn't been released yet.

 

Please respect the fact that not only episodes take a long time to make, but also realise that these people have a life outside of making episodes.

Making a movie requires a lot of people so they would have lots of different teams working on different things, like making those little Rainbow Rocks clips.

It takes a very very long time for all the various stages to come together to make an episode or in this case a movie. The writers need to write a script which is done after quite a bit of back and forth between them and Hasbro, how much of which probably depends on the episode. The writers get together with the artists and animators and make a storyboard, and the composers and sound people make different songs and sounds to match whatever scene. It all gets put together and the voice actors then do their job by acting as the characters. The reason why Rainbow Rocks is not out yet is because they are not done yet, be patient, the movie is going nowhere.

I heard not. However, the clips with "Battle of the Bands" and the Dazzling talking about why they were banished are apparently in the movie.

Yeah Meghan McCarthy confirmed that all the 'instrument' shorts are not in the movie. They work as both advertisement and backstory which is cool.

Oh wow. I'm actually kind of glad tbh. I enjoyed them, but I was hoping those weren't all going to be in cuz they're a little too "episodic"

The knowledge of their elimination and the last two Dazzling sneak peeks (and the SDCC panel info) actually have my raised my hopes for this sequel.

 

Not that long now

Excuse me, but I think you may be mistaken. The shorts are part of the movie. Not seperate. How would Applejack do the Under the Sun thing. It had a cliffhanger so it is part of the film. Therefore your arguement is invalid.
