Buck Testa 5,505 February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 You do NOT want hasbro making a live action Movie. Did you hear about the travesty that was the Jem and the holograms? This is the kind of reaction you would expect from a live action MLP movie 1 http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Billy%20G%20Gruff http://billyggruff.deviantart.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPVpSXbUpDYTcaFHTPiPjYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess of Bananas 56 February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 It would be funny as hell to see the VAs fight along side their characters in a live action movie! They'd get more lines, and more of a pay check! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluttershutter 2,366 February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 I know it could turn out really bad. I just think it would be awesome if it was good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27cF1zIw4Iw I don't know much about Jem but when I was watching that I was thinking Rainbow Rocks is probably pretty much what a Jem movie should be.

Leave a Whisper 703 February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 No. Some cartoons lend themselves well to live action, cartoons about brightly colored talking animals do not. I mean even with CGI, Smurfs, Scooby-Doo, Garfield and Yogi Bear were boring at Best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle Bleck 19,302 February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 (edited) The MLP characters would almost assuredly be CGI. And they'd better be made by someone like CreatorOfPony or Detritus.

Leave a Whisper 703 February 17, 2016 Share February 17, 2016 It is possible, but it's not a realistic idea. Yes, there are live-action movies that we're a hit, but considering that the ponies would all have to be done in CGI (which would actually be a bit creepy), it wouldn't be right. Maybe if you did a live-action in the sort of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" style, where the ponies were still animated and everything else was live-action. I don't think it would turn out well regardless. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of the exceptions and a good one, so is the Incredible Mr. Limpet and Pete's Dragon. Those were done by Disney though. Hasbro's live action/CGI...well they kinda suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider float 2,537 February 21, 2016 Share February 21, 2016 (edited) I would love to see them make it just so I can see the reaction from the bronies. If there's a kickstarter or donation for this towards Hasbro, I would put 5 cents into it. Finally something worthwhile to give Hasbro money for.

Steve Piranha 29,411 February 21, 2016 Share February 21, 2016 Bad idea, most adaptations of cartoon to live action suck, and it's not about how the CGI clash with people, it's because of the plot and the human characters are bad Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlight 1,371 February 21, 2016 Share February 21, 2016 Live action movies that are made about cartoons, animes or even comics are either a bust or actually worth watching. Maybe some people might enjoy a live action movie about MLP G4, but I am a part of the others who think that idea won't present well.

Foxy Socks 2,599 February 21, 2016 Share February 21, 2016 It just seems like it wouldn't fit, least with G4. It shouldn't need CGI to make it good. It's fine the way it is. Also, the CG models probably wouldn't look that good. I highly doubt of it being made since the CG would be more expensive, so it would be a big risk to make it.

ScarfaceOne 263 February 21, 2016 Share February 21, 2016 I still think the Lego Movie style Lauren Faust idea would work. But who would play the child Lauren Faust? Some ginger girl? The only victim in graffiti is the architect. Graffiti is not a crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grtxkkyz 388 February 23, 2016 Share February 23, 2016 I doubt it. It just doesn't seen fit for that kind of medium, other animated franchises do work better for real-life adaptations, but others try it yet fail awfully at doing so, like the huge myriad of movies which have classic animated characters (Garfield, Yogi, Alvin and the Chipmunks) in crappy sci-fi esque CGI form interact with real-life actors, albeit, on an ironic twist, they're only successful enough to spawn sequels if only because of the huge amounts of people who watch them just to get some nostalgic kicks.

KatonRyu 1,033 February 28, 2016 Share February 28, 2016 No, because then ponies and humans would mix and I don't want that. EQG is the most human they ever need to get, and the live action EQG horrors are so incredibly cringy I don't need any more of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind Chaser 4,768 February 28, 2016 Share February 28, 2016 In all truth, it makes virtually zero sense to do MLP in live action, unless the filmmakers wanted to ride the wave of live-action/CGI cartoon adaptations, which has mostly died out except for Alvin and the Chipmunks and The Smurfs. For one, MLP contains no human characters and no real-life locations. To have either in a hypothetical movie would require a major break from what made the series popular in the first place. It would require a major Art Shift, and considering that this could potentially end up losing a lot of fans, alongside Hasbro's aim to grab the largest general audience possible, it's a risk not worth taking. It would be debatable as to whether such a movie should be considered "live-action" or "animated" to begin with. If it's any indication, Dinosaur is an example of one film that featured CGI characters on live-action backgrounds, and was labeled an animated film by Disney. Beyond that, if the backgrounds of anything like The Good Dinosaur are any indication, it's that we've officially reached the point where you can replicate a hyper-realistic environment in animation without even needing to go out and film it. So, in the grand scheme of things, the idea of live-action ponies doesn't hold up. CGI would be a better bet, keeping in mind that CGI refers to a medium and not a style (3D CGI replicated 2D drawings in The Peanuts Movie and stop-motion in Flushed Away and The Lego Movie).

heavens-champion 1,905 March 30, 2016 Share March 30, 2016 I think Hasbro would prefer to make it animated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
