Gah. I think I would like the show for completely different reasons. I feel like I would just die whenever they did a funny scene with those accents. 

[Silver Letter 1,832]

Actually to be honest I like British English way better than American English. So...

What would MLP be like if it was produced in the UK? MLP - FiM somehow makes me feel Equestria is some fairy tale based US + Canada. So... what if Equestria was based on some fairylike England? This includes ponified place names like: Prandon? (London LOL), Buckingham Palace (already ponified lol), Marechester (Manchester), Oatford (Oxford) etc.

British cultural elements and of course the infamous British accent

 

So... what would it be like? Also (poll) would you still like MLP - FiM as much as you do now if it was British?

 

Okay first idea:

Sweet Apple Acres => Splendid Tea Plantations

Apple Cider => Splendid Tea

 

Mane 6 => Fancy 6 (okay these names aren't too good...)

Twilight Sparkle => Gloaming Glimmer? (lol)

Pinkie Pie => Gaily Selcouth

Applejack => Teajack

Rainbow Dash => Flashy Feather? (lol)

Fluttershy => Yellow Timid (lol)

Rarity => Darling Elizabeth (LMAO xD)

There would be a good chance that few would have heard of the show in the US and Canada if it was made in Europe and for a European audience. So I guess it is good that it was not. And I don't care for the possible names that the British would give the mane six. They don't sound very good.

 

Lauren Faust revealed that she originally wanted to give Rarity a British accent

 

 

Now, I think that would have ruined the character in my opinion. Rarity is perfect the way she is, including her neutral but charming voice.

As a British animation graduate, I'll fill you in on a little secret.

 

British TV animation is BUCKING AWFUL (With the odd exception). If MLP was British, it would have a patronising narrator, dreadful humor, and minimal cut-out animation.

 

KEEP IT THE HELL AWAY FROM US.

 

This is literally the best thing we have at the moment:

The male mane6 names wouldn't be to bad in it. Let me have a go.

 

Twilight Sparkle = Twilight Velvet (her mom's name lol)

Rarity.               =  Charity

Fluttershy         =  Faintheart

Rainbow Dash =   Mary Ann "Rainbow" Dash (lol)

Applejack         =  Jacquline Apple

Pinkie Pie         =  Pinkamena Daine Pie.

 

*meh

I think it may well be very good. My favourite cartoons (except FiM, of course) are all British, made by Cosgrove Hall. Doing it with the stereotypical British accent would be hilarious.

 

But I think I'd agree that it would have a much lower audience, even if it would be absolutely spiffing!

[Spikey-Wikey 378]

All the 7 mane characters have Canadian-American-Greenlandic (jk) accents, which means Equestria is them two countries massed 

together,  with British accent's, they would not sound actually much different.

[Winona the Dog 1,984]

I think it wouldn't be stereotypical at all.......

 

For real though im not sure what to think of a British version of MLP. Would most likely be the same just a different accent.

[FNGRpony 658]

Hum,

 

I slightly object, I feel rarity should be french. 
I'd want to toss in someone as irish as well but not quite sure who?  Maybe dash cause she's scrappy.

 

Wait if it's english dr hooves damn well better get 4-5 episodes per season minimal lol

[Spikey-Wikey 378]

I feel like somepony should be French, maybe Sweetie Drops cause she looks French and she has another name Bon Bon and that is French for Sweets or Candy.

[Malinter 3,064]

Fluer Di Lis? If she isn't a french pony can get then I dunno who else could be. Even her name has a meaning in french its the name of this symbol thingy)

[Spikey-Wikey 378]

I also think that Lyra should be Irish, she looks like she is from Ireland.

 

I also think there should be a Greek Pony, maybe Lyrica Lilac, I also think Lucky Clover should also be Irish.Since his Cutie Mark are 3 Shamrocks and Shamrocks are in Irish stuff alot.

[Jon the VGNerd 885]

Honestly, having a British version of MLP: FiM would make the show 20% cooler. Their accents would be so awesome, including Rarity's, because simply put, I love characters with different accents in English.

OH if lyra is irish can she get her wires crossed about humans and lapricons thinking we're at the end of rainbows?  Ha she could start chasing around rainbow dash lol.

[Winona the Dog 1,984]

Maybe Applejack would have character conflicts with herself. Being British yet Southerner at the same time?!? That's like being a Democratic while being Republican at the same time. It's just impossible!

[Lacey Shadows 164]

I imagine that everybody would say "Fancy a butcher's" and "Bloody" all the time and the main theme would be written by Pete Townshend.

I'm not a fan if the changing names. I think the current names would work perfectly fine in British production.

Fancy 6? I mean, c'mon... They might as well be five more clones of Rarity.

 

I feel the voices wouldn't be as refined if it was British. I mean, Applejack would be Scottish, Pinkie Pie a Geordie, but apart from that, I don't think it would work. I don't know why (and I think there's something wrong with me for thinking this), but the acting seems to work better with American accents. And that's coming from an English person.

[Spikey-Wikey 378]

I think that some un-official names Pony called Snowflake should be Russian cause he has a tough looking design and Russians are tough.

[MelancholicMemory 2,025]

 

 

Sweet Apple Acres => Splendid Tea Plantations Apple Cider => Splendid Tea

You are basing things on bad stereotypes. Tea is not from Britain. It became a popular drink there during the later 17th/ early 18th centuries when they imported it from India. The stereotype was solidified in the mid to late 18th century when Britain came to dominate the tea trade in India as a result of the 7 Years (French and Indian) War. Tea is not grown in Britain, as far as I know. If it does exist, it is not a big production. It certainly isn't something you'd name ponified Britain for

 

Also, by the way, both the US and the UK speak English. The names would be the same.

[Rinkitty 589]

Ummm... Then it would be British. It'd be made in Britain. It'd have British people working on it, and perhaps people who aren't British. I don't know...

[Hive King 2,001]

Everypony would sound boss, especially if they got Jeremy Irons for Discord and Chris Ayres for Sombra and Chryalis. 

Discord would sound like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8wgXRNYcPM

and Sombra would sound like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fe5Hv_v85U at 3:21

and Chrysalis would sound like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgPxo0S44iM

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,540]

While I do like British English better, there wouldn't be a huge difference except for some humor and of course the accents. The names wouldn't change, as they didn't even change in the Japanese version (of course). Rarity with a British accent would be pretty neato though, no doubt.

 

"You are all overreacting-*Looks at newspaper* Bloody hell!"

[Molecular Kogwheel 37]

Prandon? (London LOL), Buckingham Palace (already ponified lol), Marechester (Manchester), Oatford (Oxford) etc.

 

 

HAM? Are you loco in a coco? Only humans eat ham, so tht should be ponified too. Buckinghay Palace. Yeah, that sounds much better. Also, how about Lundyon for the ponified London? SInce there's a breed called Lundy pony, which originates from Britian.

[Not_A_Replicant 109]

If My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was British. I think my mind would explode. Everything is better in British. Doctor Who would be nearly as entertaining if it was American.

[squareyes 153]

I find it funny how the speaks in the British accent stereotype. No one. Not even middle-class families from bloody Kensington.

 

Anyway back on topic, I wouldn't like it. I don't know why but sure it would be nice to have a show that you adore centralised in your own country but I don't feel like the fandom could have had the same affect on the internet if it was British.

 

Put it this way. If a new show started on CBBC which the same sort of audience as bronies started talking about, wanted to expand their love aboard, would an American bother trying to find it on the internet. It's not as likely no. Why? Because there's not as many Americans as there are British who would make the show accessable aboard and strive to do so.

 

I'm probably thinking about this too much. Although Equestria Girls would probably look very different.

"Are you taking the piss with me!?"

 

Almost dude, Let me teach you our language some time

 

It'd be amazing, But i'd have to star as every character if that would be okay with everyone

^waitwhat

 

 

As long as there were no 'Chav' voice actors, It'd be awshum
