I never thought this was going to happen, but the entire series -- yes, all nine seasons -- are now streaming on KiDoodleTV. If you have the app, you can now watch the show free of charge by clicking on the link below, if YouTube is not an option: https://www.kidoodle.tv/1576/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic Now all that's left to get on there are Best Gift Ever (hopefully in 8-9 months) and Pony Life. So, I guess this means no need for this show on Netflix, Disney+, Peacock, Amazon Prime, or whatever -- that is, for those in the US.

I first came across the series while watching video parodies of other shows on YouTube back in about 2013. I became more and more curious about the characters in the videos, which eventually led me to this series.

There's still hope for all G4 content to return to Netflix by 2025, because: All countries still receive at least one season of Friendship is Magic on Netflix. According to Nielsen, kids don't watch linear cable TV anywhere near as much as streaming services like Netflix. Hasbro needs to do what's best for the kids that want to see G4 on streaming because they're curious about it while watching G5. Hasbro also needs to stop giving Discovery Family a hard time and let them air more WB cartoons. After all, the channel did get rid of six Hasbro-produced shows in the last two years, and now there's only five left still airing there, all of which are now the absolute oldest shows on it.

That is, if Hasbro does ever announce a G6. But right now, nothing official has been announced past Tell Your Tale in late 2024.

I meant worldwide. In most countries, you only get one season. I'm suspecting that Hasbro's contract with DF is what's preventing Netflix from being able to get the rest of the series. Not only that, Rainbow Roadtrip still needs a lot more dubs than what it has so far.

That isn't what I want. What I mean is, they should bring back the rights for streaming of G4 content.

After March 2025, Hasbro should (hopefully) have enough money to get their shows re-acquired by Netflix upon their departure from Discovery Family, since Season 1 of G4 is still currently streaming worldwide. As long as it stays there, there's still a chance G4 can come back.

Similarly, another missing cutie mark error moment occurred in The Last Roundup.

I could send you the closed captions myself, but you'll have to find the video itself on YouTube.

I would have had Non-Compete Clause replaced by a Pinkie/Fluttershy episode, no doubt, and have them interact with the Student Six instead of Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

Queen Chrysalis. Possibly the MOST evil of all female villains in the show.

I went against the odds and selected Pinkie Pie. I could give a reason, but it'll probably be invalidated any way.

I could tell you why, but I'm not ever exposing leaked production content on this forum.

I just learned tonight the hard way that you guys were right all along. I do admit, censorship isn't the clear reason why some animated specials just don't get released in a long time. It could most likely be because of obligations with other companies, in the case of Hasbro still refusing to leave Discovery Family after their contract was supposed to be terminated much earlier than it does now. Whatever's happening, I still want to see Danish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Castilian Spanish, Swedish, Thai and Turkish dubs of this special get released someday, since there's a lot more content dubbed in these languages compared to the ones Rainbow Roadtrip has already gotten. For what I know, Netflix exclusively hosted most of the previous specials, but Hasbro decided to stay on Discovery Family for another several years, and rejected their agreement with Netflix. I'm hoping that next year, Hasbro will not renew their contract with DF again, since that channel is obviously trying to make more room for WB cartoons, and Hasbro will be forced to move on to another service, where they'll easily be able to release everything including Rainbow Roadtrip worldwide. By the way, YouTube won't work because the show always keep stopping at Season 4 of FiM, so it'll have to be anywhere other than YouTube.

I hope you're right. Hasbro's actions up to selling eOne to Lionsgate has resulted in a loss of over $1 billion in just 3 months — more than 6 times how much Google and YouTube were fined by the FTC back in 2019! — Which means all the net income Hasbro earned during their time with eOne (all the money earned for Pony Life and EVERYTHING G5 from A New Generation to all of Make Your Mark) is now smithereens. Trust me, if they hadn't merged with eOne in the first place, things would have been much easier for them and for us fans today.
