iceestarz 5,752 October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 I am so hyped. I am so ready. I told my parents about it and they were like "oh, that's cool." And then I said it's slated for 2017 and they were like "what the hell is wrong with you, that's so far away. Why are you this excited?" I can't wait, although CELESTIA DAMN IT GIVE ME SEASON 5 INFO, A MOVIE A COUPLE YEARS DOWN THE LINE ISNT AS IMPORTANT AS THE NEXT SEASON THAT IS LIKE A COUPLEISH MONTHS AWAY.

Jeric 46,835 October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 I'm mixed about this idea. I like the idea of a full-length MLP:FIM movie about the ponies. But I'm not sure about it being produced by a different company yet. I'm pretty sure Hasbro will still have some involvement in the film though. The studio (AllSpark) is Hasbro. It was created last year by them to produce Jem and other Hasbro IP's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpc8169 228 October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 (edited) What if... the thread created about the possibility of a pony based movie was created by Meghan in disguise so she could get our thoughts on it? JK, but wouldn't that be awkward? Anyway, I'm super exited! T minus 3 years! Edited October 21, 2014 by rpc8169 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zekromic 1,054 October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 ALL OF MY YES! Although 3 years is so long. Doctor, please take me to 2017 on the premiere of the movie. Uhm, do you realize you'll miss at least two seasons and maybe another Equestria Girls movie if that happens, right? Just gonna drop this here. bah, you won me this one Also, Andrea Libman tweeted something that should help calm the fears that the VA's won't be a part of this. Seems they were planning this for a while, but could say anything until now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takai 1,060 October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 I just pray this movie doesn't mark the end of the friendship is magic series. I will cry and puke. And not particularly in that order either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dekutree64 711 October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 Another article: http://variety.com/2014/digital/news/hasbro-studios-president-talks-the-my-little-pony-movie-expanding-the-brands-1201334812/ I'm not sure how I feel about "telling a bigger story". On the one hand, it could mean a big fun adventure and expanding the world lore, which would be awesome. But on the other, it might just mean they have time to do something really sad and be miserable and then turn happy again even though the sad thing can never be fixed (see How To Train Your Dragon 2 for the most disgusting example of this pattern ever). I shall remain highly cautious, but hope for the best. I wonder if the animation will be in a different style than the show/EqG? Hopefully not 3D at least. Personally I'd like to see show style, but with more shading, more unique frames, and possibly thinner outlines since the thick ones look a little weird to me on the big screen.

Calling it now... This will be the final farewell to Celestia/Luna's reign and Twilight ascends to the throne as the new ruler of Equestria.

Brony Rebellion X 31 October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 Oh my god! Everytime I hear the news in my head, while I'm eating, riding my bike, in the john, something always pitched in my head, the music. I'm not talking about the songs, I am talking about the music! You see, the music for the movie would sound something more epic like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCZr_eecw4A Or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0Wu7LxrYZs Or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W264r3IU5lQ The possibilities are........like Scootaloo says, "Like endless!"

OtakuBrony 349 October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 (edited) Howdy all! I nearly dropped my laptop when I read the news about the movie on EQD. (And my Yes yes yes yes recation on an earlier reply) As long as the actors are back for the fim,DHX is on board to do the animation and super awsome songs from Daniel Ingram I am OK with this. Its gonna be a long wait but in the end it'll be worth it. See ya! Edited October 21, 2014 by OtakuBrony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky McGillyCuddy 956 October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 I mean, the guy who wrote Ice Age 3 is writing for the MLP movie so I'm already a little worried. As for the thought of it being CGI, it's not that 2D to 3D CGI conversion is horrible because it's not, it's just hardly done right. 2Snacks is probably the leading example in the Brony kingdom that it can be done well. Even though I think the lighting is still pretty bad. 2017 certainly is a long wait for the release. I believe How To Train Your Dragon 2 by Dreamworks Animation took approximately 5 years of production before release which is a pretty typical production time for such a big movie. Whereas it's known that MLP is cheaply animated on an outdated version of Adobe Flash (not that there is anything wrong with that), so MLP taking 3 years seems a little strange. The only reason I can think of it is that they want to time it's release for a specific part in the TV series. Which would likely be the climax, because you can bet it's going to be an emotional mess for all of us. Still just speculating of course. Kinda makes me sad though...

As long as Michael Bay doesn't get involved, it won't happen. 2d animation will still be in the movie. I just know it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,835 October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 3 years is about right guys. Disney's Princess and the Frog took 3 years in development (not including the false starts). It was announced and casting began in 2006 and released in 2009.And no that wasn't exactly 'traditionally animated' since Disney used a proprietary digital toolset to animate the hand drawn and boarded characters called Harmony (which replaced CAPS (ha!). There is no evidence that the FiM film will be CGI. It also doesn't fit with the moves Hasbro has made in creating a separate production/distro company based around what they have already learned and become successful with. Part of me expects a hybrid approach, using traditional animation to support and flash assets and animation. I seriously doubt that it will be CGI as much as I would doubt the next Pixar movie would be traditional. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonkett 341 October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 I'm just going to say that I've never seen Ice Age Continental Drift, or heard how bad it is, or know absolutely nothing about the writer, but why would they randomly pick some writer who has absolutely no experience with the show to do the script for a film adaptation? It's like they're presenting a huge missed opportunity, and them not picking any of the show's writers could be a huge mistake on Hasbro's part. And if the writer really is that bad, then the film already has a higher chance of sucking, and would end up being the biggest disappointment since SimCity 2013.

Jeric 46,835 October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 Ballarini didn't write either the story or screenplay to that movie (Ice Age 4). He was not given on screen credit (there were a separate Story and Screenplay credits too). Yet he is credited as "uncredited" which does not occur with script consultants. He was likely a single scene/character writer. Either way, when the producer sent a list of credits to the WGA ... his name wasn't on the list. So, Ice Age 4 ... not his fault.

Washougal_Otaku 1,020 October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 Seeing as we have 3 years until this movie comes out, there's probably going to be a lot of changes to the plot as things are developed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, I'm hearing that other movies he wrote weren't so good either, not to mention that he doesn't even have a resume. Alot of people are now worried that this movie will have poor writing, which may hurt the film's chance for being a critical success (though it will undoubtedly be a commercial success, but I'd take the critical success over the commercial success any day of the week). The question is whether he has even seen the show and that he is confident that he will deliver a solid script that will appeal to both children and adults alike.
