I don't even watch Dragonball, and I loved that. Especially the part that Derpy dropped the anvil.

So anywho, I was watching Read It and Weep again, and I noticed that near the end, when the hospital guards are chasing Rainbow Dash around, you can actually SEE the barking-mad pony's silhouette in the group.

I LOVE THIS TEAM FOR THEIR ATTENTION TO DETAIL!

They missed Ruby! I am enraged, however Pip is awesome enough to be there twice. Pip having a scarf seems to be a popular thing.

I would totally watch a FiM sequel series with those characters that age.

Edit: if there's ever a MLP: FiM movie, I want this as the beginning:

i really hope someone at hasbro seriously considers funding a fim movie
there is no way they wouldn't profit from it

especially when you look at how well gen3 was able to do with a live stage show
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vA6n-Hc5-e8

that is a full house right there

i'm pretty sure a fim movie could make the top 10 sold movies in a year
especially in theaters

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Mon Jul 23, 2012 9:53 pm

If they do a Movie I doubt it will be a theatrical release (though that would be really cool) it would be direct to TV, and even then most likely not until the show itself is over, as a proper finale.

The video was pretty interesting, but I found the description to be a bit more interesting, if I'm honest.

The person who made it posed an idea of a "shift" in the brony fandom. They proposed that, with multiple full-length episodes in the works, beautiful animations coming out left and right without any usage of clips from the show, and high quality work out the wazoo, that the fandom is somehow "changing" from a simple appreciation of a good, entertaining production to something else entirely.

I personally think it's a largely unfounded suggestion (as everything that's happening with the fandom is still directly inspired by the show itself), but I'm curious to know what some of you guys think about what the creator of the vid had to say.

They could easily make money off of it.

In 1986, "My Little Pony: The Movie" was released into only 421 theaters and it made almost $6 million. This is also considering its mediocre writing and animation. The new series could be opened on a thousand screens and easily surpass that. Since it is flash animated, the production costs are lower and it has already proved that its creative team is superb in its writing, directing, voice talent and music. To be honest, such a film would definitely make the likes of Disney who believe that they are some sort of untouchable institution feel more than a little grumbly. In "Waking Sleeping Beauty" they admitted with disgust and shame that one of their films was outstripped by the Care Bears. They need the competition.

They've made recent movies of Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Battleship, Hasbro's gotta get to MLP eventually, right?

and with the amount of world building and two already well done villains who can easily make a return
they already have a lot of material to work with

seriously though if hasbro will make a battleship movie why not another mlp movie

That is very good but his cutie mark should be a scroll or green flame or something like that.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 2:51 pm

I think the obstacle for a movie is a lot of parents would not want to take their kids, considering its reputation, and a lot of bronies would be afraid to go see it in public.

I'm not sure if this would be as big a problem as you would think.

I remember when that Winnie the Poo movie came out a bit ago. I had a bunch of my friends that were like "I'm going to see the new Winnie the Poo movie in the movie theater!!" and I was just like "What?" And I have a feeling that a MLP movie would be aimed more at the bronies, seeing as how they would probably be the biggest source of income for it.

They would be foolish not to. Hasbro confuses me sometimes. MLP has exploded into a pop culture phenomenon and they have barely tapped into its potential.

I wish that they would put out a vinyl album of the songs from the show. And some plush versions of the characters.

I guess the difference is that they can't make batlant over pg-13 jokes and and add LOTS of explosions in MLP.

Radio Blue Heart · Post by **Radio Blue Heart** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 6:30 pm

If Micheal Bay gets a hold of it he can make anything blow up in pointless spectacle. Although PG-13, I wonder which characters get to curse.

Also, this actually rings true:

exranio · Post by **exranio** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 6:50 pm

Well yeah Gilda is freaking cool!

Penwrite · Post by **Penwrite** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 7:21 pm

Yeah, I mean, check out that smile! I'm being honest here, that is one of my favorite smiles in the entire show. Look at her, Gilda is so happy. Also, she's a gryphon, and they are naturally awesome.

Also also, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic could easily be made at the same level of, say, Kung Fu Panda or How to Train Your Dragon, and still keep to the show's themes and general cleanliness.

In fact, both those movies I named off were Dreamworks films. Dreamworks worked with Hasbro on the Transformers films and G.I. Joe. They already have experience together.

IT'S A SIGN!

exranio · Post by **exranio** » Tue Jul 24, 2012 7:30 pm

But then Dreamworks would make it 3d!

But yeah, the show needed some more Aggressive awesomeness. In a show were most the characters are nice I really appreciate the mean ones. Diamond Tiara's pure brattyness combined with her verbal aggression just makes her fun to watch when she is there. Blue Blood's self centers was also very funny. Gilda's attitude along with her lack of caring how others felt just plain made her awesome. And Rarity's my favorite of the mane six just because she seems to think she's better than everyone else.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash, probably. And Fluttershy will get a single scene where she uses just about every word in the book.

In whatever parallel universe MLP: FiM actually gets a Michael Bay directed, PG-13 rated film, that is. :p

Radio Blue Heart wrote:Also, this actually rings true:

I could actually think of a few reasons for why that is.

1) First and foremost, Gilda is a girl. In a male-dominated fandom, it's natural that jerk-ish character who's female will get more love than a guy who's the same way.

2) While Blueblood is pretty much a pansy of a nobleman, Gilda is (jerk or not) kind of a bad***. [This also adds onto the first point.]

3) Gilda's a gryphon. In addition to being a very popular and cool-looking mythological creature, it's one that isn't really seen anywhere else in the show. There are tons of other unicorns, but gryphons are pretty scarce. I haven't really checked to be sure, but I think Gilda is the only gryphon in the show thus far.

I do get the point. I think they need to put more in.
Everyone, let us email the writers and demand more gryphons!

Suuuuuuuper cute. :3 I wish that they'd had Fluttershy walking like a normal pony though.

Also, the bird making that noise like those noise-makers you get at birthday parties reminded me of the title screens from Sheep Raider (anybody else remember that game?).

I saw this too. I believe he and Tara were just getting together because Drake played Timmy in the live-action Fairly Odd Parents movie that came out last year, and apparently a sequel of sorts came out back in March. And obviously Tara, being the ever-enthusiastic "Queen of the Bronies," brought up the fandom while they were together.

I dunno if Drake had heard of us before that, but either way he seems pretty neutral. I'm sure that there will be a lot of bronies jumping all over that and making memes and reaction images galore about another celebrity "being" a brony, even though he might not be.

~~~

Also, on a completely separate note, I finally managed to finish the first chapter of an MLP fanfiction I decided to write a little while back. I submitted it to FIMFiction, and I'm just waiting for it to be reviewed and approved. :) I'll let you guys know when it's up if you wanna read it.

Awwwwww yeah. Now this is something I've been waiting a good while for. A legit Fallout: Equestria animation. It's got some small blood stains on the walls of buildings, but nothing that would overstep forum boundaries.

I really wish there were more artists who had the interest in it to do stuff like this. :)
