And does anyone have a pic of Target's exclusive DVD set with stickers and an activity book?

I can take & post pics of mine in a few hours. Honestly I was a bit underwhelmed but maybe I just need to remind myself that activity books for children arent made to occupy adults  :frolic:

That would be awesome, thank you!! :biggrin: Haha yes, I know what you mean - I found an activity book for movie fans and was expecting it to be for fans of all ages, or at least pose a bit of a challenge with the puzzles. Nope, it was totally geared towards young kids! :P

The stickers themselves are just a glossy image of glitteriness vs actually being glittery, so thats a bummer. I really just wanted the movie regardless so oh well

I'm impressed the movie seems to be selling so well on disk- 

I was hoping to see it on Netflix soon, but it may be another year if it remains this popular ;)

although... maybe they will release it early anyway- (like Trolls)- in order to promote the toys and merch- I hope so!

Thanks so much Prince_Sunbeam! Wow, I agree, the "fake glittery" stickers are indeed kind of a bummer, but I'm really digging the Target exclusive alternative DVD sleeve! It's *almost* tempting to want to make a trip to the US for it. :P

Is there a sequel to the movie in the comics? I'd like to think that Capper stayed in Equestria since Tempest "helped" him escape Klugetown by taking him prisoner and then forcing him on to  the pirate ship before she knocked it out of the sky.



Thanks for the pics of the Target Blu Ray version. I really like the alternate sleeve/cover.

That Target Blu Ray packaging is super sweet.
Annoyingly enough the movie is only available on DVD here so far, and in such short supply my local store sold out in mere days. I'll keep an eye out for the Blu Ray maybe.

Another thing I just realized

Spoiler
  I know it's coincidence but Skystar creating the air bubbles to save Twilight and her friends from drowning  is similar to the seaponies rescuing Megan and Applejack. :)

According to the prequel book, Tempest under orders from the Storm King,  tried to steal the Queen's pearl by tricking her guard and claiming to be a lost, weary traveler seeking shelter. When Queen Novo discovered Tempest taking the pearl, the battle for it lead to the destruction of the Hippogriff city.


It's understandable that Queen Novo would be suspicious  of Twilight and her friends who are also claiming they need help and when she finally begins to trust them Twilight messes up everything by trying to take the Pearl.

I'm just overall disappointed at the content that could have - or was almost - in the film, between the prequel book and the official art book. I mean, don't get me wrong, I liked the movie, but some of the scrapped content could have added more depth to the film overall.
Spoiler
From the official art book:
"The prologue for this film went through many different versions. There was one idea where we see the Storm King overthrow the Arimaspi King; this would show the scope of his might. Another idea was to show how the Storm King acquired the staff he uses to summon the super storm. In that version, which was storyboarded, he steals it with the help of Tempest from an aged Scorpan, who is a character from the original series and brother of Tirek. These concepts were abandoned for a more elegant, beautiful prologue that would help introduce Equestria to those who aren't as familiar with the world." - Rebecca Dart, Art Director

That's really interesting. It would have been great to see G4 Scorpan again and see his reaction when he found out his staff was being used to ruin Equestria.

I wish there was a little more background on Capper and the hippogriffs  in the movie. I read the prequel comic so I understand why Capper was trying to sell the ponies to settle his debt with Verko but if you don't have the background information you might wonder why Capper is so eager to sell them.

It would have been great to see a flashback of Tempest trying to steal the pearl/the destruction of the hippogriff city.

Could have been on purpose, you never know? They have kind of caught up again with the pre-G4 shout outs (I know the ones I noticed in seasons one and two were debatable).
I will confess to being a brony, but I assure you that the things you may not like about them do not apply to me, I mostly keep the fandom name due to nostaligia, but I do genuinely love MLP as a whole, not just FIM, and not just the popularity of FIM - I genuinely love the show (and all the others)

.

I didn’t think of that. :) It would be neat if it was a shout out to the original My Little Pony.
