My memory could be fuzzy, but I already thought it was confirmed they would be in it. I thought the movie would act as a bridge (this part is my own thought).Hasbro noted in October that the “old cast” would be in the movie but they didn’t exactly specify which gen or which characters, and Tara Strong went on Instagram live last year and said Twilight won’t be in G5, so some people took it as the Mane 6 as we knew them wouldn’t be there. This storyboard could mean they don’t have speaking roles but appear, or Tara could have been talking about the G5 show and not the movie. In any case, this is pretty damning evidence that they’ll be there in some way, shape or form.
It could be possible I was just be remembering peoples assumptions too...
I don't buy it so far. I could be wrong, but this could also be something from a scrapped episode or an old Rainbow Roadtrip thing.The person who worked on this storyboard works for Boulder Animation, who wasn’t involved with the production on FiM. And it was noted on their Linkedin page that they were working on a CGI theatrical film for Boulder, Boulder’s only working on one theatrical film at the moment.
🤔 Who exactly was working on the storyboard? Very interesting. There is always still a chance that this scene from the movie was scrapped but this gives more weight to it than the storyboard itself.Her name is Marylene Sun (https://fr.linkedin.com/in/marylene-sun-60aa87136), and she worked at Boulder for 2 years. This storyboard was uploaded to the internet in April of 2020, and she left around 2019, so it’s possible this scene could have been cut from the film, but since Hasbro mentioned the “old cast” being in the film my money is still on the Mane 6 being in the movie in a scene like this.
...We'll see. Reserving judgement till I see the toyline. Not overly interested in the propaganda spiel. I've never been a big fan of the animated series or specials for any MLP generation, and G4 especially so, so for me it will be about what the toyline puts out.
Variety and brushables, with any luck. And absolutely no M6.

Off topic, but does anyone know how to make links say something instead of the direct url? The whole link looks weird -_-

That's what I was thinking of, thank you.
:shrug: I don't find it to be a big deal if they are in the movie. I'm over G4, but a cameo isn't going to hurt anything. It would make sense more than anything since G4 was so big.
Art style looks pretty darn similar to G4.
Um. I really hope this isn’t what we’re getting. Art style looks pretty darn similar to G4. I was hoping for something new...I knew G4 cast would be in the movie to bridge the generations or whatever, but idk how I feel about this version where it looks like new ponies are telling their stories or obsessing over them. Gives a lot of room to just..shift the focus back to the mane 6 and have the new characters not really shine. I mean frankly....this segment just looks like a clumsy brony self insert into the FiM world to me. :huh: Maybe it’s better within context.
(And I have tried to be fair to PL, but I saw one of the eps on pop the other day and I couldn't watch it for more than a couple of minutes before turning it off. It hurt my ears, my eyes, my brain...I don't even know what to say about it >< .It was a couple of minutes of complete sensory overload on my TV screen. I didn't like FIM, and sometimes the plotline annoyed me, but watching an episode never had that impact on my brain. It wasn't the plot of the episode, it was the "noise" of it, visually and audially. I'm not sure how else to explain it but I had to turn it off. It makes me wonder if that was just me, I just hit a bad episode or if PL is just really not autism-friendly).
What I’m thinking happened is that she wasn’t asked to come back and assumed Twilight wasn’t going to appear at all. She could be voiced by someone else. I don’t think Tara really knows any more about G5 than we do.My memory could be fuzzy, but I already thought it was confirmed they would be in it.

See this is a perfect example of why I actually dislike the term "autism-friendly" despite having autism myself. What causes sensory issues for one autistic person might not cause them for another and that's not even including people with hyposensitivity.

Not really understanding why you said that. I was pretty clear in what I said that I wasn't sure if it was my problem or something more widespread for other people on the spectrum.
I don't really like the term either, in context with generalisations - but since I didn't do that, your reply doesn't make any sense.
If you like and enjoy PL that's fine. I wasn't insulting it. I was just sharing a personal experience, which is in fact my right to do.
i don't think there are enough words that describe NO
What I don't want to see from G5 is any attempt to cater to adults. Not us. Not bronies. Nothing like that. It's a kid's show. If we like it, or watch it, or collect the toys, that's up to us. But I hated how twisted FIM concepts became in G4 because of adult interest, and that ruins it for the market that it's really for.
Hmm, it almost looks to me like a father-daughter pair. Or maybe big brother-little sister. But the drawings are so vague being a storyboard, as Ragamuffin says... Maybe my imagination is running away with me.
