How long will it be?

[Prospekt 10,984]

I hope it hits the 90 minute mark. Basically, twice as long as a two-part episode.

[KrazyDashie 1,846]

22 minutes brotheeeeers.

they might as well just make a special TV episode with that amount of time

[FizzyBubbleTea 41]

I'm going to say that maybe having the movie be 90 minutes or 100 minutes long might be good.

[Lightning Pixel 34]

Well,it should be at least 1 hour... 1.5 will be great!

[Ankha 35]

I guess around 60-70 minutes.

Not a chance it will be that short. No movie is merely an hour long.

Well, for wide theatrical releases, a lot of the older Disney movies has 60-80 minute runtimes. And as for more recent films, the 2011 Winnie the Pooh movie was 69 minutes.

Every single one of them is at least 100 minutes, maybe 95, since 2008.

By older Disney movies, I was referring to the movies before the Disney renaissance in the '90s (e.g. Dumbo, Bambi, etc.)

Those films have had a much higher budget than Hasbro is capable of, so while 60-70 minutes may be a bit low, I don't think we can expect any higher than 90 minutes.

Lego Movie: $60 million, 101 minutes, mind you in CGI.

The Lego Movie was not made by Hasbro's film divisions. The self-financed film division that will be used for the MLP 2017 film is Allspark Pictures, which currently has only released one film, Jem and the Holograms, which had a $5 million dollar budget, and did poorly at the box office.

This doesn't lead me to believe that the MLP movie will have a huge budget either, and animated films are very expensive, so they might cut costs by having a shorter runtime.

The budget is going to be WEEEEEELLL above Jem.

Jem failed in the box office because nothing about it felt, looked, or resembled anything like the Jem cartoon. Instead, it was your usual cliché teen stardom story. If it wasn't faithful to the roots of the franchise, then why buy a ticket.

 

The FIM Movie will likely have a bigger budget than Jem-in-Name-Only and be more respectful to the family-friendly roots of FIM. How long it'll be, I don't know. I think it'll be around 90 minutes.

However, given that it's the same company, the FiM Movie could also be "In Name Only" as you say. Allspark Pictures wasn't respectful to the source material for Jem, so it's not completely out there to predict that the FiM movie could suffer the same fate.

 

But yes, I agree that 90 minutes is fair.

Allspark could force the FIM movie to disrespect their roots, but Allspark isn't alone in its production, and I don't think this'll happen. Allspark Productions helped finance JINO's budget, but the writing helped kill JINO. Meghan McCarthy and Rita Hsiao are better and more respectable writers. Bronydom in Bronywood knows Meghan McCarthy's credentials. Rita Hsiao helped write Mulan and Toy Story 2. Secondly, the people behind the scenes clearly didn't understand the material behind Jem and the Holograms. FIM is a major moneymaker. Defiling its roots will cause an uproar; McCarthy, Theissen, and the crew (should) know what they're doing.

[Heavy Magic 19]

Hopefully the movie will be around 90 minutes as well. I think that's perfect, especially if it's actually going to be the series finale.
