Title: New My Little Pony Film Confirmed!
Post by: Bekuno on February 15, 2019, 10:04:12 AM
It's Toy Fair time yall! And with it comes announcements.

Now the idea of a 2nd MLP:FiM movie came about after the G4/G5 leaks last year, but we do have official confirmation.

It will be released in 2021, and will be CGI of course. This is a full length film.

A Dungeons and Dragons movie?

Dunno what Micronauts are?

I'll pass on that GI Joe film. The last one was a major borefest.

The toys might be out before the movie, though?  Here’s hoping.
Also, here’s hoping for whole new characters.  I also hope the animation is like what they did with the last movie and not too 3D.

much later than either the proposed G4 sequel or the G5 prequel.
I really wonder what this timing means for the end of G4 and start of G5?
I'm still hoping G4 ends this year and G5 starts in 2020.

Yay, NY Toy Fair weekend is here! Anxiously awaiting what more news and photos the rest of the weekend may bring.

There's another 44 minute G4 special happening as well that deviates from the leaks! It's supposed to happen over summer 2019, and includes an already revealed toy tie-in and synopsis.
I know the leaks have "Event special/sequel tie-in" but I feel this is different, since it's confirmed G4.

Still awaiting confirmation on if the movie is G4 or G5.

@Bekuno I guess I've been out of the mlp loop for a while ^^;. Where can I find info on the G4 Special & toys?
I wonder if they are doing that in place of the G4 sequel movie idea?

Edit: I found it. Only announced yesterday (I'm not that far out of the loop :P)

I think anything that isn't confirmed to the public should always be taken with a grain of salt. Sometimes projects get delayed as budgets and other priorities allow. :O I mean even publicly announced things can change (notice "all dates subject to change").

Is there an official page that has the information on it? Is this a theater release or direct to home release. The later seems more likely?

Won’t be seeing this since it’s CGI (cgi always looks so bland and colorless to me), but I wonder if it’s still gonna be g4 or if they’re doing g5.

Of course. I'm just saying that calendar has been followed until now.

That movie slate image seems to have come from and investor call this morning and seems to have been posted first on this person's twitter
https://twitter.com/Chevistian1/status/1096399247874887680
They also state that it's yet unknown if it's going to be G4 or G5 here

I think that's all we know so far.

Micronauts! Wow, that's a deep cut even for an 80s kid. :P I guess this means that weird rumor from a couple of years ago about plans for a G.I.Joe/Micronauts/M.A.S.K./Visionaries cross-over movie universe was true after all.

@Bekuno I guess I've been out of the mlp loop for a while ^^;. Where can I find info on the G4 Special & toys?
I wonder if they are doing that in place of the G4 sequel movie idea?

The G4 special is called "Rainbow Roadtrip" and involves the Main Six trying to return the color to a mysteriously  washed-out town in time for the Rainbow Festival. I think a couple color-change toys were previewed... Non-brushable ponies with parts that go from white to rainbow in cold/hot water.

It's basically just a two-part episode -- not enough plot to hang a whole movie on -- so I don't think it's related to the proposed sequel or the 2021 movie, but I could be wrong. Maybe the rainbow thief turns out to be Murky Dismal in a spectacular, brand-shattering twist.  :P

The "event special" in that first timeline that says "Event Special" for 2019 kind of sounds like it might be the Rainbow Roadtrip special or something.

There's this timeline that often gets overlooked too, we'll have to see if it holds up this week! We already have rainbow wings Twilight and the rainbow tail ponies, it's gonna be a colourful year regardless!

totally.

but, I think both the proposals that have been pictures were just that... pitches to someone (within the company or not-- high level, business people and/or investors) about what they could do to make money. So it's better to just take it for what it is. possible things or possibly not as well.

Oh I really hope this movie will be an introduction to G5. I’ve had enough G4 at this point. I also hope cgi doesn’t mean hyper-realistic renderings on blobby cartoon shapes.  I really adored the animation style of the last movie, so I hope it’s similar to that! I’ll be keeping an eye out for more information on this. Hopefully we will know more soon!

Title: Re: New My Little Pony Film Confirmed!
Post by: Taffeta on February 15, 2019, 09:41:18 PM
I really wish people would stop using the term G5 until we know what it is and whether we can actually call it G5 by the definition of an actual new generation. A reboot of the same characters or within the same world is really not G5. MLP 2.0 is also an interesting label on that second diagram. FIM 2.0 seems to work better at this point as a classification.

In any case, I think Hasbro would be very ill advised to continue peddling G4 stuff at this point. Unless sales in the US are way better than I think they are, the line is already limping horribly. In this country, as I've said before, it still hasn't recovered from the previous extended animated mistake (largely because aside a couple of exceptions most all the stuff that's been released from it here has been mane 6 and kids here are fed up with mane 6). Entertainer's shelves have looked identical for the last year and Smyths have downsized their pony section in the same way they did MH (the thing taking up the most space is that ridiculous animatronic monstrosity). There is no way G4 will have a UK market in 2021. It surprises me that they think there will be one in 2020. Better to cut it now and then start afresh in 2021 if you ask me.

Maybe this movie will be different enough to be called G5, if it actually exists (as bandit pony says, things can change and plans can move, etc). But the means of promoting it with an image of Spike and Twilight doesn't give me a ton of hope that it will be.

G4 seems to be a victim of its own success now :/

So here's a confusing question... when they say 'CGI', did they classify the animation from the first movie as CGI? Because I really liked that! :) Or are we talking like ... the horrible hyper-realistic Smurfs movie? :lmao:

Also, DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS?! So hyped!

Post by: sd_dreamcrystal on February 16, 2019, 08:09:39 PM
Well Hasbro did confirm a lot of stuff recently

On their FB page they made a recent post announcing season 9 will be the last season of FiM and they are continuing development of the new CGI movie.

I'm sure all of this is known, I'm tired and brain dead lol

Like all forms of art, CGI can look absolutely beautiful if done right, in my opinion, but I'm surprised that's what they're going for since the Toon Boom looked so beautiful and close to the cartoon series, albeit slightly different.

I love G4 but I'm so done with Hasbro's just pushing main 6 toys and now the dwindling stock iffy if we get any release on the shelves trend right now. g5 will bring some fresh air to the line even if it turns out I don't like it. (looking at you new tmnt...ugly! but I'm happy people are still loving it)

G4 will never end. Not until MLP does. Even if they call it another generation, the M6 seem likely to remain, and thus the scars will never, ever fully heal.

That's why I'm not worried about a movie with 3D characters. I'm actually glad. The problem with G4 is that the artstyle is incredibly flat and the toys don't really work in 3D, and we get varying results of what they should look like. And even in 2019, they're still not accurate to the show. With the ponies already modeled for the movie, all they gotta do is print them out and put hair on them.

Kind of bummed the pony movie will be CGI (unless they mean the underpinnings, like with the last movie?  I REALLY LIKED THE ANIMATION OF THE LAST MOVIE) but still excited . . . I loved the last pony movie.

I don’t think Hasbro has said anything officially.  In fact, the only things that Hasbro has officially said is that the next season of FIM is the last (on Facebook) and that there is going to be a movie in 2021 (from presentation given at toy fair.).  Everything else is from leaks, rumors and conjecture.
