MLP: FiM is leaving Netflix in January.

[CastletonSnob 3,025]

You read that right. According to a list of shows that are leaving Netflix next month, Seasons 1-8 of MLP: FiM is one of them, leaving the service on the 31st.

I had a feeling this would happen since every other Gen 4 project is leaving Netflix to make room for Generation 5 of My Little Pony. 

[Will Guide 21,325]

Aww, makes me wish I had rewatched the later seasons more up until I committed them to memory

[Savygriffs 5,021]

Well rip. I haven't even really watched any episodes on there in a long while though.

Gotta make room for G5 content I guess.

[EpicEnergy 22,072]

I don't understand why Hasbro would let MLP FiM leave Netflix. The G5 movie is very successful, so many fans of G5 would want to see G4 if they haven't already. Maybe the show isn't getting enough views on Netflix anymore, maybe Hasbro just wants to bury the past and move on with the future. Whatever the case may be, I'm disappointed and saddened to hear that FiM is leaving Netflix.

I don't care for Netflix, but my sympathies to any fans who enjoyed watching the show on there. Loss of accessibility's never pleasant. 

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,809]

I hope G4 stays alive as long as possible. It's really hard to find FIM episodes these days, even with paid services...

[NavelColt 22,876]

Blu ray and DVD box sets aren't quite dead yet, since streaming libraries gain and lose shows like this regularly. I imagine we'll be seeing some manner of physical release of all of gen 4. If anything, FiM leaving Netflix is even more incentive for Hasbro to try and cash in on that.

lt is what it is. Perhaps this means getting that elusive DVD collection that includes every season and episode along with some special features to sweeten the deal.

I really hope Shout Factory (Who have done DVD releases of the show before) releases the entire show on Blu Ray containing all the episodes, specials, shorts, and the movie (And some good bonus features).

Welp, saw that coming. Since g5 came to Netflix they had to sacrifice g4.

It doesn’t say in Ireland that is. Is it supposed to be worldwide? 

This is devastating.

Yeah, it doesn’t in Ireland. We only have the first five seasons though!

Yeah, idk cause I never used Netflix for MLP really (being that the UK don't get anything normally, though nowadays Netflix is better in the UK than in the US, and the fact I didn't have Netflix from 2018-2020)
I think we have the same amount of it

[Evil Pink One 12,963]

the heck.... season 7 and 9 didn't even aired here in the Philippines.....them bastards....

[eventyraren 180]

Do anyone know what streeming service it is going to. I guess here in Scandinavia it is viaplay, they have season 6-9 so 1-5 is probobly expected. But 1-8 is on our Netflix. I have NO idea how this work. 

[Bumble Sweet 134]

oh. why oh why

we love mlp on netflix

[Flutterstep 46,279]

I was worried I'd have to quickly binge watch 3 seasons, but then remembered, we only have 5 seasons available in the UK. 

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

I hope this doesn’t turn into what happened the last time when Netflix couldn’t make up its mind of ponies should stay or not (hopefully it stays though)

[Bumble Sweet 134]

yeah I know Right soo sad

[Pentium100 2,056]

Like some people said, I hope G4 gets a bluray box set. I don't use Netflix so the removal does not really affect me. If Netflix was my only way to watch MLP G4, I would now be ordering a big box of video tapes.

[Fluttershutter 2,116]

This is why people shouldn't depend entirely on streaming sites. You need disks and free sites.

 

They don't need to "make room" for G5, they just don't want to keep paying for both.
