What happens if Disney buys My Little Pony?

[Phoenix Dirac Wright 121]

It all depends on what the outcome would be.

If it's still the ridiculously funny and awesome MLP, then I'll keep watching. Although, I still would be sad if they change some of the references like Derpy.

If they change it just for the moneys and then aim it completely at little girls where it was soppsedly sopposed to be, then I would rather sue them for changing it. And also raise an objection.

[silvadel 1,393]

It would be bad. Very bad.

 

MLP is one of those things that was greater than what was intended for it. If it were to be shoehorned back to its original intentions it would lose its soul.

 

MLP probably would have been a hit regardless of what the characters were because the show is deeper than the vast majority of shows targetted for an adult audience. Depth and character depth is missing from most tv these days.

It would be totally okay if they changed nothing at all! But if they changed anything, or made it back into G3 ponies then it would be all over. Unless they were just minor changes and the show was still good. And if they removed Derpy, then they must DIE period. Edited August 13, 2012 by Octavinyl

No no no no no no no no no NOOOOOOOO! Remember when Disney took over the show Doug? Nickelodeon had it right, but when Disney bought the rights, they made it CRAP! I might keep watching it to see what's changed, but I know they would make it suck, G3 status.

[000 206]

Then there will be half-assed straight to DVD movies and crappy toys that no one wants.

And they will also make it a sitcom.

i wouldnt mind if disney bought it as long as they didnt change the idea of how the show constructs itself. if they change it into all the other crappy shows they have, i would stop watching.

[ShinyRibbonsAndSparkles 164]

I have a feeling that if Disney buys MLPFiM then they'd stop with the fanservice. So, I'd do everything except the last one.

OK, truthfully I'd probably keep watching the show at first, but, and this is a big but ( wait... HA, look what I did there!!!! ), if Disney bucked it up, and, knowing Disney these days, there is a 99.9999999999999% chance that they would buck it up, I would, to my undying sadness, stop watching the show. Thankfully, barring going completely bankrupt within the next year or so, there is absolutely no logical reason that Hasbro would or should do such a despicable thing as sell MLP to Disney, considering (1) it is not only probably the most popular and critically acclaimed program on the Hub, but also (2) it is one of their oldest and most popular merchandise brands, especially with the female demographic.

I wouldn't mind if they didn't change any aspects to the show. One thing I would like is that it'd probably mean there'd be some higher quality official plushes.

[Opalicious 799]

I know this would be a big drop in the quality of the show, so it makes sense to be sad, but who in their right mind would kill themselves? Anyway, I would be sad, and possibly stop watching.

[SongBrony 419]

The show would end up losing a lot of stuff that makes it what it is. Disney is a great company, but there is no way they could create what Lauren Faust did. MLP FIM is not a show Disney is capable of making, in my opinion.

[None42069 520]

Bakura: The Ouija board is about to spell out a word so evil, so foul that they had to censor it twice to get it past standards and practices! Now it just says 'final'!

Yugi: What did it say before?

Bakura: DISNEY!!!

 

But yeah. I'd probably stop watching it. Have you SEEN what they did to Power Rangers?

[Jon the VGNerd 885]

My heart would break in half beyond repair if Disney had bought MLP: FiM. Besides, what would Disney even do with FiM anyway, besides ruining it by making it "better"?

[pactor 29]

disney probably wouldnt change the show much but I bet they would keep the brony interference to a minimum in the show.

[just2good 0]

I would be sad and interested. I would still watch it though.

Also, not everything Disney does today is bad. Gravity Falls is great, Wreck-It Ralph is promising, and even though they only own it, Pixar is still strong.

[Dasher 119]

As long as it works out the same way as when Disney bought Marvel where they still made their own movies just as great as before I wouldn't mind.

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

Here i show you exactly my answer to Disney buying MLP (with my favorite like me character on TV!)

NO.

[rcollinz13 428]

Honestly, I hope to God that Disney does not buy it. If they did buy it, chances are they wouldn't touch it, but they might cause an earlier cancellation. Ever hear of a show called the Spectacular Spiderman, after Disney bought Marvel they gutted the show and completely disregarded the massive following it had. Not only that, but the show they put in place of it is shit.

[XUNUSEDXXX 3,459]

Things will go down. Downhill eventually till it reaches hell. Seriously, I hope that they don't buy it.

[Regality 233]

As long as they respected and continued to follow the Hub's original premise for the show, and continued making improvements and respected their fanbase, I'd bet the show would get even better.

 

Well I know at least the songs would be even better, so long as they took their time with production...

[Xievie 498]

If Disney got MLP send changed it?

 

DESTROY US ALL. DESTROY US ALL. DESTROY US ALL. DESTROY US ALL. DESTROY US ALL.

 

Yeah I'm not a big fan of Disney, but if they ever had it, they better treat it right.

[sLORT 28]

Oh my. That is a pretty scary scenario. I hope they don't because I absolutely despise Disney. But if Disney doesn't fuck up the show then I guess I'll be okay with it.

[Kalypso 69]

i agree with everything that is being said and if they did get it they wouldn't change the voice actors for fear of enraging all of us bronies and pegasisters

[Dr3adnaught 16]

As long as everything would stay the same as it is now, I'd be alright with it, but one little thing like the "stuff" Disney is making now, then I will have to go to their studio and kill them all with cyanide, antifreeze, and a golf club.

[~Lawful Jordo~ 2,066]

I would cry ....

 

Meh, honestly though I wouldn't care much. Don't get me wrong, Hasbro is doing a great job, but I don't think things would change much if disney took over.

 

I remember back when Disney bought out Marvel comics and everyone was freaking out. Then we realized nothing much changed.
