What if a CGI/live action mlp movie were made?

Huh I was just thinking of what would happen if a live action film with the mane six as CG characters were made what do you think it would be like? What would your expectations be, what would the film be about, could it ever happen?

I would watch it but may not enjoy it as much.

Before we even address what it would be about, we must answer the one-word question: Why?

 

People like the show as it is, and the Flash animation works wonderfully with the show. Changing it would alienate many fans. And what would be added from live action? People? Seems a bit odd, given a human universe already exists in the poniverse, how do you explain that? Live action has already been shown by Cheese Sandwich and Pinkie Pie in Pinkie Pride, so it would take an undue amount of explanation to explain why everything is suddenly CGI.

 

A CGI-Live Action blend works best in bombastic superhero stories, as the Marvel movies can testify. It allows for the realism and fantasy of comics to come to life. While that combination works great for them, I don't think realism (of the art style, I mean) is something that the My Little Pony creators want in a movie.

it would look weird and not realy good. a high budget one that stays true to the style while adding nice inovations like better depth and detail in some ways could look nice
