CastletonSnob 2,746 November 10, 2021 Share November 10, 2021 (edited) Remember when I said that G5 would get a summer special, a series, and a mini-movie in 2022? Well, we're also getting a spring special. It will be in 2D, and exclusive to YouTube! https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/11/2d-youtube-exclusive-generation-5.html Edited November 10, 2021 by CastletonSnob 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savygriffs 2,647 November 10, 2021 Share November 10, 2021 Oooh that sounds like it could be neat. We'll have to wait for more info to release! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges 2
Malarkey 44 November 10, 2021 Share November 10, 2021 I think it will be small-scale low-budget animated shorts, but it will still be interesting to see the G5 ponies in an animated 2D style. Possibly something similar to the new Strawberry Shortcake cartoon that releases on YouTube. Hasbro's priority is definitely on the 3D specials and series itself. It could also be something extra simple like Flurry Heart's Heartfelt Scrapbook. In any case, I'm looking forward to the new content, whatever it is! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges

Part of me is happy with this news, given my preference for 2D, and part of me has been spoiled by the excellent 3D animation from the G5 movie. Since the Toon Boom style was what we saw at the start of the movie, I wouldn't even call something close a downgrade. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges
Skylight Scintillate 733 November 10, 2021 Share November 10, 2021 Well that certainly is interesting. I wonder why it is exclusive to Youtube though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges
Tom Gallagher 33,289 November 10, 2021 Share November 10, 2021 Hope it will look like the Mane Six scene from the movie. That’s a great style to use. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges 3

It's a good decision. It allows the animation to be seen by potentially BILLIONS. YouTube has a LOT more viewers than Netflix. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splashee 25,430 November 10, 2021 Share November 10, 2021 As much as I love 2D, I need to complain about the 2D designs as soon as we see them (hopefully not) Like, ponies can look really cute (like Pony Life) and be really bad animation, but that is not what I am worried about. It is just, all the 2D drawn G5 ponies have had designs that look as fake as the rotoscoped 3D model they were going after. The design for G5 is clearly not made for 2D at all. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges
Sparklefan1234 145,723 November 11, 2021 Share November 11, 2021 (edited) My biggest worry is that the voice actors for the main cast may or may not be consistent between the movie, specials and the Gen 5 show itself.

Northern Star 954 November 11, 2021 Share November 11, 2021 (edited) Decent 2D or the currently somewhat popular(for whatever reason) "made to look like low budget painstakingly hand drawn but obviously CG" 2D?

Pearly Marshmallow 372 November 11, 2021 Share November 11, 2021 Yes! I was looking forward to see some G5 content in 2D animation since I'm not a fan of 3D at all. Can't wait! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges 3
ExplosionMare 17,680 November 11, 2021 Share November 11, 2021 I’m interested to see exactly what art style they’re going to use here. Hopefully it’ll be at least a little similar to the quality of G4. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges

Tacodidra 55,730 December 4, 2021 Share December 4, 2021 I'll definitely check it out! While the CGI in the movie worked a lot better than I expected, 2D ponies are something special (I hope the animation is at least as good as the G4 shorts). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivooush 25 December 4, 2021 Share December 4, 2021 I prefer by far the quality of the film for the G5, it changes and I attach better to the pony like that, they were really beautiful, a bit like the Pixar, the quality was very nice, I would not like that the style becomes again like the G4 or other, another quality I do not know Anyway I can't wait to see how it's going to be, the wait is so long, they shouldn't have released the movie so early, I can't wait anymore, at least a preview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
