Oh man I’m just really excited for the show and for that one history episode that I’m assuming will exist because it should where the characters go on a quest and discover what happened in the past and everything Basically just a “discovering the past” episode + nostalgia for the G4 fans (my 2 favorite things)

Can we talk about the “dead” dad? The thing he built for Sunset has the earth pony gem, and the “bedtime story” included the main 6. They were probably gonna go down in pony history! Are we sure the dad is dead? Maybe he was trying to unite magic. I hope we get more into detail about him if they’re is a show.

As someone who wasn't into the candy-colored pony franchise and only had slight interest in G4, seeing the trailer for G5 made me curious because of how adorable it looked without it being oversaturated. So I had it on in the background while I was drawing at 3 am- it was enjoyable to look at and the writing was clever along with the characters being charming and funny. Looking back on the movie a 2nd time, the amount of detail in the art and designs is admirable; really cute and harmless movie with good writing, very glad it isn't watered down to spoon-feed the kids.

I was never interested in MLP... until I watched this movie. Now I'm trying to avoid G4 while looking up G5 stuff and trying not to fall down the rabbit hole of cutie-mark-filled "despair"

Generation one was largely based on Dungeons and Dragons and according to some, pretty dark, with monsters, kidnapping, fights and ponies running for their lives. As far as I know My Little Pony was for boys and girls until they decided to focus on girls and amp up the girlyness to eleven in generation two and two plus. It's curious that you conveniently forget to show fragments from the pilot: escape from midnight castle. That episode had some grim dark scenes in it and they later recolored a lot of the generation one cartoons, because they thought the older colors where "too dark" for a cartoon for girls.

G1 was still for girls, its just, it was the early 80's. the stark delineation between girls and boys content wasn't as pronounced yet. add to that that cartoons, esp what hasbro was putting out then, tended to be darker then what came later and even now. still hammy, but a generally darker style. G1 mlp was closer to transformers and gi joe in tone. then ofcourse, later, it became what society decided was more "girly".

Ayo it’s JaxBlade. You’ve returned, I see.

I felt like there’s a scene in the ending that everyone came together and put the lighthouse back the way it was (with the help of magic) but time and budget didn’t allow it. The thought that Sunny is now homeless is so sad. Or maybe they’re saving it for 44 minutes special coming later, discover more clues from secrets hidden in the lighthouse while they’re rebuilding it.

I feel like the sort of felt/fleece bump mapping they did for the fur was a really nice touch. I feel like a lesser studio would have either made every character smooth jigglypuff looking things with no texture at all, or attempted to go the Zootopia route with hyper realistic hair and ended up with that mangey first draft Sonic the Hedgehog look. This middle ground was the best of all worlds. It was within their means, it didn't break the budget, and it still looked really really nice. Despite the film's occasional misstep, which I cannot deny it had, it really feels like the folks behind it understood the essence of what we all enjoyed in G4. It's fun, it's got a strong grasp of both levity and gravity, and at the end of the movie I wanted to see more of these characters, which is the biggest thing a pilot movie needs to accomplish. I also feel like this movie did the whole... "pony racism" thing a lot better than G4 ever did. G4 tried so many times and it failed very consistently. I cannot give it any credit on that. With the way it was handled in G5, it really hit me when the foals were playing their game pretending to be unicorns and kill each other, that like, oh hang on, this is the "Cowboys and Indians" kind of racism. And carrying that attitude through the metaphor made it seem a lot more realistic and sincere than it ever was in G4. That's not to say it's perfect here either, but if they insist on continuing to try it, they're at least moving in the right direction.

I’m not sure why, but I adore that they named her Sunny, giving a nudge at Twilight. I know it’s obvious but I didn’t think about it fully until sometime after watching the movie.

Easily changed it from your basic "be nice to everyone despite their differences" movie with a kind of implied allegory to a straight up "don't be r@c1st movie".

I’m glad to see him put out a video for the movie, as it shows he hasn’t forgotten where he came from.

I adored this movie I just want to preface. I think the amount of plot holes or weak character motivation equals the amount of foreshadowing for the tv show. Which at the end of the day I don’t have a problem with. This is a movie for kids and the preface to a whole tv series, not everything is going to be solid in the story telling just yet, especially when the real content hasn’t been written yet.

The stained-glass panel they show gives an interesting theory as to what might have happened. Best I can make of it without them having provided any other details is, at some point, Twilight must've instructed each tribe to present a crystal which she and the rest of the Mane 6 infused with a massive amount of magic. For what reason, we can only speculate at this point. Perhaps Twilight and the others actually became the magic itself infused into the crystals? And, without Twilight and the others as guiding lights, arguments broke out among the tribes that resulted in each tribe taking back their piece of the crystal out of spite, not realising that's why magic went away?

Gen 1 MLP is actually pretty good for a little kids show... The best way I could describe it is that it is probably what you would get if a daycare full of 5-8 year old girls played Dungeons and Dragons, but all their characters were horses. So there not much there for an adult but for a kids show it had a lot of very cool elements.

And then they ended the very last episode by fusing Mewny and Earth. Because it’s not like suddenly throwing a bunch of monsters into a human infested world with guns and nukes and our own versions of racism (which is based off of differences a lot less significant than what species we are) is a bad idea or anything like that (seriously, my head canon is that either all the monsters or all the humans were dead in a matter of hours after the last episode ended, they’re screwed).

I’ve been a MLP fan pretty much my whole life, and what kinda bummed me out is they didn’t use any of the old school characters. Gen 4 brought new life to iconic characters such as Pinky Pie and Spike , I wish they’d brought back a couple oldies who weren’t in Friendship is Magic like Minty and Sundance

At first, I was sad My Little Pony *G4* is going to end and replacing it with another MLP *G5* version but now I just accepted and acknowledge the new version of it. And make new fun memories with these new characters. Honestly, I cried when I watched the movie... XD

The one thing that kept me going were their expressions. THEY LOOK SOO GOOD AND SATISFYING! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT 😍

WARNING LONG LONG POST Okay, watched the show today and some things people aren't mentioning but me and my friend noticed: *The* *show* *implies* *that* *the* *mane* *6* *may* *have* *had* *descendants*. Firstly, Sunny could maybe be Twilight's descendant because of where she lives (more on that later) and because of the objects she owns such as the journal with Twilight's cutie mark and the necklace with Twilight's cutie mark. Second is Hitch who is probably Fluttershy's descendant with how animals are just "megnetically attached to him" plus his color scheme matches that of Zephyr, Fluttershy's brother. Next is Izzy. She matches Pinkie Pie's personality and even does the hopping thing that Pinkie does. I'm still not sure if Zipp and Pip are descendants of Rainbow and Rarity respectively because how did their family line intersect? Their personalities match closely though but I don't think they're related (?). Finally, Sprout. It's most evident with him and his mom with their color scheme (lit. like Big Mac), their speech (his mom calls him "sugar cube", a term of endearment Applejack used), and their HONESTY. Yes, Sprout lies ALOT because of his lazy bum, but he does show moments of honesty with his mom and the moment he realized the pegasi and unicorns might come after them. We then noticed the locations of the movie are interestingly picked. We see that the pegasi are living in Luna and Celestia's/ Twilight's castle which means they are now in Canterlot. Also, could it be that Sunny's home (the lighthouse) is what used to be Twilight's tree house? Because it housed the gems which is similar to how Twilight's tree house housed the elements and the map. Also, could the unicorns be living in Zacora's old home? Or is Izzy living in where the new tree of harmony used to be? This show is honestly good, but not great most notably with how the characters are handled (hopefully if they make a show they do these characters better). An example would definitely be Pip. She was the most disappointing one out of everyone. She had no inner conflict or struggle and she already has a job, leaving her with no dreams or ambitions and though her job is interesting (if they play around it good with struggles and stuff) it's not delved upon much in the movie. Plus, she almost had no role in the film. Also, her voice acting was the most obviously jarring. Hitch and Zipp come in close second but I think their voices were okay not great but okay. Hitch is another pony they did dirty to. They hinted alot that he liked to dance (I'd like to think if he had a cutie mark it'd be related to dancing), so why is HE not the one that danced off to Alphabittle?? I do like his character though, was a li'l boring at the beginning but they were able to redeem him as the movie went on such as showing his flaws/quirks (being cocky and confident-ish), his strictness, and his want for peace giving some type of ambition.

3d/CGI tends to be cheaper for theatrical productions- as you mention full set reuse is a huge asset and the basics of how you construct a 3d animation don't change through the quality jump from tv to film 2D puppet animation is cheaper than 3D because you also get the advantage of reuse while having less steps in the production process, overall, but if you say, compare the average MLP g4 tv episode to the movie, you'll notice that the animation style is vastly different- i guarantee they made totally new rigs and incorporated a lot more redraw into the process than in the show, where there were probably next to no redraws at all after like.. season 2, and if you want to go full, say, Klaus with film animation, that's immensely more expensive basically, for tv shows and tv movies, 2D is probably the way to get more polish for less money, 3D is less expensive for full theatrical film still (though they are evening out!! According to the director, Klaus, a fully 2D animated film with no rigging, just frame by frame art, was only marginally more expensive than a similar 3d film would have been) I think a lot of tv show commentators have a reflexive memory of the visual quality of early cgi tv shows like beast wars that makes them cringe at the thought of tv cgi because it did take so long to catch up as a pleasant visual experience (no shade to beast wars, the plot is genuinely good but you can't deny it's ugly)

@RutraNickers

2D is more expensive because it is a lot more work to do in a per frame basis while 3D is more expensive to render it good. Movie Animation in the west made the transition to 3D because it is faster to make it look good, faster to animate and as a result it's artists are paid less per frame (and because 3D movies were more well received in the 90's). 2D is better for low budget TV shows because it is less expensive to make a 2D animation look good enough than a low budget 3D one. Just compare Madagascar TV Series (2011) with Adventure Time (2010) to see this in practice. Just a notice: in the east, 2D is the mainstream because the majority of their animation market is for TV shows, because the asian public didn't care much for the rise of 3D animation and because they underpay A LOT their animators while making them work much more than they would in the west (it's similar to how triple A game developers treat their personel in the west).

@shmoopyroo2650

I believe it takes more effort and in turn money to make 3D animation look good consistently and sure it may be cheaper to make a movie in CG then in 2D but if you want to make a series look great in CG it takes more money since your not just animating 1-2 hours of media your animating roughly 5 hours of media and that’s if it’s just 12 episodes

i feel like because of the fact that there's a series coming up, i'm not bothered by all the unexplained lore, unanswered questions and smaller scope of the story. i'm hoping the series will get to start to explore everything else around over time and answer some of the bigger questions, kinda like how fim did.

im not sure they can translate the immensely unique designs into 2D! Especially Zip, with all her beautiful feathers and layered colors, it would be so sad to simplify that for a 2D budget

Well, I like how this title reminds me how FiM got popular in the first place.

Could Sunny somehow be a reference to Wings of fire? Because in those books, there are seven dragon tribes and they are at war with each other, but Sunny in the 5th book stops the war and builds a school to unite all tribes. Sunny in mlp basically does that with the unicorns and pegasi

I adore the film, it’s straight forward and love the musical numbers. Although I felt like was a miss opportunity for them to not go deep into how the Pegasus, unicorns, and earth ponies were divided in the first place. Would’ve been interesting

It was interesting how G5 was like during the Hearthswarming Eve episode with the story with the Windigos etc. But where were they? Why weren’t they flying around, causing everything to freeze? And what even happened to the Mane 6? Wasn’t Twilight supposed to be immortal or somewhat since she became ruler? Many questions but hopefully they’d be answered. I loved Sprout’s song. It was so much like Nirvana which was hilarious and I swear all villain songs are catchy (looking at you Spinel w Other Friends). I loved all the references from g4, it felt like a nice breath of air

The expressions and hair movements are definitely my favourite of this movie

Honestly, I like how the movie looks, but I feel like the plot of the movie was really rushed. They just sorta showed up in places, "we need the MacGuffin" somebody gets it for them, and then at the end, (SPOILER ALERT) the MacGuffin was inside of us all along. I feel like everywhere they went wasn't a big journey, it was like, an hour's walk at most. There was just too much packed into a small space, I didn't really get time to appreciate any of the characters. The characters barely ever fought with eachother, they just got kind of bitter at one point and got over it because campfires or something. It wasn't a terrible movie for me, though. The movie looks great as I wrote before, and I really like the new direction the story is going in. I like that the problem they'll be facing is of a bigger scale this time, and that the characters aren't just copies of the last cast. I never look at the characters and think "oh that's the new Rarity" or "there's the new Fluttershy". I'm really hoping to learn a bit more about the characters in the upcoming series!

The movie reminds me of a kind of reverse Redwall orValdemar Both those series contain start out in the “present” with characters idolizing or dreaming about their respective legendary heroes. One of the most depressing things while reading the Redwall series was in Loamhedge, which ties in to stuff from books two and three, and having those things be considered ancient history. Especially since it wasn’t a manufactued jump like this.It was literally a 14 year gap beetween the publication dates.

I had my reservations after hearing about G5 and seeing the trailers, but after giving this movie a try, I'm now curious to see where this will go. There's little dispute that Izzy was the biggest hook for all of us, but we can't overlook the quality of the 3D animation, musical numbers, and modernization of the My Little Pony world (not to mention all the real-life references). Thematically, the movie's take on racism (a la Pony Apartheid) is about the most we could expect from something aimed at kids. The storyline revolving around it, however, did feel contained and a little oddly-paced. The biggest things for me were the fact that the magic/abilities of all the Equestrians somehow became contingent on some crystals, and how quickly Pipp Petals adjusted to being part of Sunny's posse. Maybe the magic-crystal link will be explained in the TV show (along with many other plot/lore questions), but Pipp just seemed underdeveloped in the movie. I guess we'll have to wait for her arc in the TV show, too.

the main thing that I noticed about the film was the animation, there was so much quality to it, one thing in particular (I noticed this in Riya and the last dragon too), was THE EYES and I don't just mean the colours or details, I mean the effort! they did that thing where the eyes actually moved when they were staying still, if there was ever a close up on the eyes they would be slightly flickering from side to side, taking in all the details! The quality of the animation I can't- (I also loved what they did to the hooves)

I'm not going to lie, this movie was starting on a backfoot with me. Set in the same world, with unfamiliar elements but in 3D, like you said. I had my reservations. And I have to admit, if this movie was just passable, I would have shat all over it. Said it is a downhill run and was trash up and down. But, despite that, it put it's foot up and prepared itself. The story is interesting, they didn't answer questions that didn't need them (At the moment.) and the songs were catchy and hum-worthy. Whether this becomes a series or not is still a mystery, but I did really enjoy this movie.

The movie was okay, but I feel like this MLP lacked the healthy sublety of FIM. FIM dealt with rac/sm and fearmongering (a core theme in this whole movie) far better. I mean irl, you don't often see someone rallying a whole town to make a robot so you can attack an entire race of ponies. However you may see snarky, rude, or condescending behvaiour towards someone who is different. I enjoyed the movie, but I wish it wasn't so cartoonishly in your face. It's a cartoon, but do the earth ponies really need to make an actual cult? I worry this series will lack the nuance that the first few seasons of FIM had. Hopefully it goes well though, I like the variety in character design.

As someone who wasn’t really a fan of the animated series, I’ve got to say this movie was really cute. I initially wanted to watch it because the animation looked nice, but I didn’t expect much more than that. I was pleasantly surprised!

I was concerned with how small the world felt too but then I was thinking, this is a post war society. Of course population is probably smaller, of course there is a lot of blank space between towns. As a series, I really hope they start to look back at the old "history" of g4 and maybe follow the story of reuniting with and making peace with other g4 species like the Kirins, dragons or the various other creatures. There's so much content they can pull and have the main characters rediscover from g4. Which would make it perfect for veteran fans who watched g4 and also new fans who haven't yet!

I absolutely loved this movie. I had high hopes for it from the start, and I was not disappointed!! As someone who loves animation, I thought the animation was incredible. It truly seemed like Disney level 3D work. The movement is fluid, the lighting is an awesome touch, and it’s so detailed that you can see each strand of hair on a pony’s mane. As for story, I thought that was good too. A little rushed near the end, but they still told the story very well. And what made it even better is how intriguing each of the characters are. Really great movie!!

"At the core of it all, for both the fandom and the show, there's some pretty cool stuff" Honestly I think this line here is important. There's a lot of different franchises/series/whatever that end up getting this super messed up reputation, not because there's anything actually messed up in the show/game itself, but because the fandom comes along and covers it in what is perceived to be creepy-weird things. Well, SOME of the fandom. With something like this there's always plenty who dont do that stuff and just enjoy the bloody thing normally. But the ones that cause the reputation are so freaking LOUD, and that creates a problem. Like FNAF for instance. I remember being there when the first game originally showed up... the series didnt have a reputation yet for anything other than being "really scary and unique". It was a fun horror experience with some well-done elements, quite enjoyed it, just like any other game. But after awhile it started to go all strange... the really overboard stuff started showing up, and suddenly those who were just enjoying it in a totally normal way now get insulted and such if people find out they like it. And then of course other people who havent tried it yet who WOULD like it end up not doing so, because the loopy vocal side of the fandom pushes them away. And really it's frustrating to watch that. I'm not at all familiar with MLP whatsoever... most I've seen is some random clips of funny moments, typical "watch for a quick laugh" KZread stuff. But I'm certainly familiar with other properties that get a bad and totally nonsensical reputation (not just FNAF), and I hate seeing it happen every single bloody time. I always tell people: Ignore whatever the loud part of the fandom is doing. Ignore it entirely. And if the thing looks AT ALL interesting, give it a try... regardless of anything else. Because whatever it is, it probably didnt START weird, and there might be something really great at its core. You just gotta get past the preconceived negativity that shouldnt be there in the first place. And there's nothing wrong with liking it, whatever it is. Also, just to be clear: There's nothing wrong with being a "Brony" or going to a convention or whatnot (though I tend to think that word "Brony" probably REALLY doesnt help). Or making fanart of your favorite character, or buying merch, whatever. Fans of ALL SORTS of things do all of those and it's fine. What I'm talking about is the REALLY overboard and loud stuff... you know what I mean, I doubt I have to paint you a picture here.

Was into FIM like 7 or so years ago, but kind of grew out of it. Came home extremely drunk one night and saw this on Netflix and decided to give it a shot, and I actually kind of enjoyed it. I loved the animation, there was enough "grown up jokes" to outweigh some of the cringe that inherently comes with it being a movie aimed at kids. My nostalgia for what was probably the least proud part of my childhood probably played a significant part in my perception of the movie aswell xd. Overall, definitly the kind of movie both kids and adults can enjoy together. I might actually give the series a go, though if it is going to be 20 minute episodes that might dumb it down a bit too much for me.
