My dream cast for an MLP movie that is not Equestria Girls

[sampsoninc916 27]

Sure Equestria Girls is becoming some sort of franchise for Hasbro and is getting two sequels, one coming out this fall, but I think it's about time someone with a real passion for both MLP:FIM and 2D animation stepped up and made a MLP movie that is not Equestria Girls. How hard is it exactly to get something in 4,000 plus theaters? Lionsgate has no trouble with that considering the prevalence of the Hunger Games franchise, but My Little Pony is also a franchise. I feel that I should make a MLP movie. Here is my dream cast for the movie I dream to make (under the guidance of Hasbro it will probably be different):

 

(Princess) Twilight Sparkle – Tara Strong

Rainbow Dash/Applejack – Ashleigh Ball

Pinkie Pie/Fluttershy – Andrea Libman

Rarity/Princess Luna/Mrs. Cake – Tabitha St. Germain

Spike/Mayor Mare – Cathy Weseluck

Princess Celestia/Cheerilee – Nicole Oliver

Applebloom – Michelle Creber

Sweetie Belle – Claire Corlett

Scootaloo – Madeleine Peters

Big Macintosh – Peter New

Zecora – Brenda Crichlow

Shining Armor – Andrew Francis

Princess Cadence – Britt McKillip

Diamond Tiara – Chantal Strand

Snips – Lee Tockar

Snails – Richard Ian Cox

Discord – John de Lancie

Trixie/Queen Chrysalis – Kathleen Barr

Cheese Sandwich – Weird Al Yankovic

Derpy Hooves – Grey Delisle

Doctor Whooves – David Tennant

Emerald Wishes – Jordan White (me)

Prince Oblivion – Benedict Cumberbatch

Star-Swirl the Bearded – Ian McKellan

Undecided character – James Rolfe

Undecided character – Doug Walker

Undecided character – Mathew Buck

Undecided character – Sean Prendergast

Undecided character – Tom Hanks

Undecided character – Chuck Norris

Undecided character – Temple Grandin

Undecided character – Idina Menzel

Undecided character – Morgan Freeman

Undecided character – Alison Brie

Undecided character – Bryon Cranston

Undecided character – Liam Neeson

Undecided character – Arnold Schwarzenegger

Undecided character – Michael Caine

Undecided character – Christopher Walken

Undecided character – Julie Andrews

Undecided character – Marsha Hunt

Undecided character – Lauren Bacall

Red Fraggle (cameo) – Karen Prell

Boober Fraggle (cameo) – Dave Goelz

Wembly Fraggle (cameo) – Steve Whitmire

Mokey Fraggle (cameo) – Kathryn Mullen

Gobo Fraggle (cameo) – Matt Vogel

 

What do you think of my choices?

Mind blown! I love your idea for a dream cast. Good choice to add Morgan Freeman, now add Russell Crowe and Nicholas Cage. Then add some Jim Carrey to be a random cameo who cracks jokes.

It all depends on what the movie actually is. Tim Curry or Jim Cummings would be great choices for a villain role.

 

I think we're aiming a bit high if we think Benedict Cumberbatch Ian McFreakingKellen would ever do this movie. Maybe Patrick Stewart could be a king or something, but even that's a remote possibility.

 

I've always thought Tom Baker would make an awesome Starswirl.

 

Wait, are we being serious?

 

If not, then I pick John Candy as Twilight's father.

Just to clarify, this is the cast for an animated MLP movie, yes? I mean it must be if one person is playing multiple characters.

 

When I saw this I thought it would be a live-action dream cast, like if they did something like Equestria Girls with real people, but I guess that would be another thread altogether

Yes, this is a cast for a MLP animated movie in theaters. For some reason a lot of animated movies seem so obsessed with having their characters be played by celebrities. I prefer to cast real stars that have been acting for years, know their way around any script, and above all, sound totally cool. Most animated movies only cast whoever is popular in the current day among kids. I don't want to do that. Count the number of times you have seen a trailer for an animated movie advertising the fact that celebrities voice the characters. Rio 2 has Bruno Mars, and Bruno Mars never really had any acting experience at all. Compare this to Liam Neeson, who has been acting ever since 1980 and has such a great voice.

Why not put Patrick Stewart on there too? ^^"
