    Dora the Explorer movie coming from Michael Bay

    There are some kids franchises that have outlived their charm. I also watched Dora (as well as Go, Diego, Go!) as a kid but neither show come off as timeless. If there's going to be a reboot in any form, including this live action movie, then it desperately needs people with the talent of Lauren Faust to spearhead it. But they chose Michael Bay? This doesn't seem right for him.

    It’s not that I think it outlived its charm. What I meant is that I just don’t personally think it’s a good show now that I’m older. Sorry for the confusion.

    I will say this, though: I like the original intro (haven’t heard the other versions in years, so I can’t give them a fair judgement).

    The most amazing thing about this? It will probably turn out better than all of the Transformers movies combined. XD Unless it is live action, then we are in for a nightmare.

    Yeah, it’s live action. Here’s a source:

    I’m honestly surprised by this news. Nick hasn’t really done anything with Dora for quite some time now. The original series has been out of production for a few years now, and its second spin-off, Dora and Friends: Into The City! (which premiered in 2014) didn’t last long either. I’m also surprised that Michael Bay is a producer because I didn’t think this seemed like the sort of thing he’d do. If it does turn out to be bad, I honestly wouldn’t be that disappointed. I liked Dora when I was a kid, but it doesn’t hold up for me as an adult. I don’t hate it, but it’s not really something I can get into either. It does at least do its job since it’s a hit with its target demographic (or at least was during its heyday). I probably won’t be seeing this movie, though (or at least not in theaters).

    Powerpuff Girls second reboot

    You might need to explain that, since I'm unaware as to whether or not Disney XD (I think that's the channel it's airing on?) is less accessible.

    Yes, it airs on Disney XD. DXD is a digital network that you may need to pay more to get, while CN is usually available on basic packages.

    A PPG reboot that tells an actual story will gain more views. Just look at the Ducktales reboot.

    The original PPG didn’t follow a story and it was one of CN’s biggest hits ever. It was episodic.

    Well, when you said that, I was inclined to question myself.  After all, Ducktales was getting rave reviews left and right, people calling it a great show.  You might be on to something!

    And then I looked at the viewership ratings.

    Looking on Wikipedia, out of the 6 episodes which have aired so far, the average viewership of each episode was around 357k viewers, with a range of 280k to 410k viewers.  Not too shaby!

    Now let's take a look at TTG, and...oh my.  There are too many episodes for me to go about and get an average in a timely manner, but it's a rare occasion that viewership drops below one million viewers, sometimes even climbing past two million!  The lowest recorded viewership rating stands at a mere 870k viewers.  That is more than twice Ducktales' highest viewership rating.

    Admittedly, there are a number of variables I may not be taking into account here, but it doesn't look like pre-teen kids really give a rip about good story-telling.

    The reason TTG gets more viewers than DuckTales is probably because DuckTales airs on a network available in less homes than CN.

    No way this film cost $65 million

    Yeah, I don't buy it either. When 4chan posted that budget, they also posted a soundtrack listing, but not only did they have the wrong number of tracks, only one was actually a title from the soundtrack (Off to See the World), and I'm guessing they only got that one right because we already knew about that one.

    Where should be MLP's new primary US channel?

    I am going to bring a new channel on the table, how about Nickelodeon?, they air MLP on Nick in my country!

    I’m not sure what Nick in your country is like, but in the U.S., they’re worse than Cartoon Network. Even with their own shows, they don’t get treated well unless they get SpongeBob level ratings. I’d honestly rather have it on Discovery Family. At least they’re consistent with premieres. Nick could pull it at the last minute or put it on an unnecessary hiatus for months.

    If something that's Netflix produced is released (i.e. a Netflix Original), which I believe MLP would become if Netflix got the liscencing, it's often out in the UK and the US simultaneously. So that statement is kind of redundant.

    Except Netflix wouldn't be producing it. It would just be the home for new episodes in the U.S.

    I thought the UK aired the tail end of season 6 before anyone else?

    I think he was referring to Netflix U.K.

    I would sat Netflix, but considering the UK hasn't got Seasons 6 or 7 yet, I'd want them on the platform before they unveil new episodes so people CAN catch up if needed. Not a problem for me, but I do want to be considerate. Then again receiving episodes at the same time as everyone else would be nice.

    This is just about the U.S. I would guess that MLP's home wouldn't change in other countries.

    NEW Littlest Pet Shop series coming this fall to Youtube!

    in Media Discussion

    · Edited by PinkiePie97

    It's now titled Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own. The full series premieres on Discovery Family in May 2018.

    The shorts are also now being released. 3 are now on Hasbro's YouTube. Seems they're uploading them weekly.

     

     

     

    Discovery Family has also been airing shorts in the same fashion they aired the Equestria Girls shorts a couple months ago. So far, they've aired 7. 6 (one isn't on there for some reason) are available on Discovery Family Go and On Demand.

    To be honest, I don't think Discovery Family's end is that soon (to my surprise, the new LPS series is going there), but I still wouldn't be surprised if it does happen at some point (or at the very least, Hasbro pulls out). If/when that does happen, I wouldn't be surprised if MLP's new home in the U.S. is Netflix.

    Cartoon Network is the last place I'd put this show in, both because they usually have low faith in shows with female protags, and because they royally fucked over two other Hasbro shows, Transformers Animated and RID15 pretty hard

    Netflix is really the only place that makes sense

     

    Agreed on Netflix, but Cartoon Network hasn't really been a boy centric network since Stuart Snyder left. In addition to rebooting The Powerpuff Girls, they also have Unikitty and DC Superhero Girls series coming up.
