I Bring You More G5 News

[NanoRuby]

My quick hot takes: TYT art style is cute, I like it way more than PL and like that every character has a different body shape, I want every single Polly Pocket-like set and will the game be amazing? Probably not. Will I still 100% it? Absolutely.

Updated the pics!

I just want the ponies without the compacts.

Those little mini-world polly-pocket-esque sets are super cute!  As a kid I would have looooved those.

I wonder who the pink unicorn with the star is, and the purple pegasus with what looks like a wing or feather symbol?

[BlackCurtains]

I love those Pony-Pockets.

Promo clip for MLP 2022 Youtube and Netflix series:

Notice at 4:46 the cast lineup. "Misty" instead of "Zip Storm"..?

Seeing them animated makes it look better than in the earlier stills IMO.

I still don't like the art style of the 2D but glad that is only for YouTube

[LadyMoondancer]

The phrase "a forty year old brand" leaped out of the Youtube window to punch me directly in the face.

It can't REALLY have been forty years, right?  (omg it's been forty years.)

Okay, so the Youtube show will have 5 minute long segments, which makes me feel even more that it's purpose is to replace commercials, because it seems like kids don't watch TV as much as they used to. I agree that they look better in motion. The part with the crab attacking the model gave me Rescue Bots vibes.

I've seen articles saying Zipp's voice in Make Your Mark will be Maitreyi Ramakrishnan.  So is Bahia Watson ("Misty") in Tell Your Tale a renamed Zipp with a different VA, or a new pony?  Interesting!

Also, "Crystal Brighthouse" has to be a playset, right?  God I hope so, I love lighthouses.

Edit: So I went googling around to try to figure out if Make Your Mark had a different set of voice actors than Tell Your Tale, and it seems like the same VAs for both shows.  I also found this clip on Variety's Twitter:

https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1498861299421220866

To summarize: Maitreyi Ramakrishnan confirms she's the voice of Zipp and says Hasbro had "the most strict NDA ever".  She also says "there's so much content, there's a Youtube series, there's a proper CGI animated series, there's hour long specials . . ." Which to me implies that she is playing Zipp in all of those.

I've been trying to figure out why Hasbro didn't list her in the "Ignite" segment and all I can come up with is that, since she has a pretty popular Netflix sitcom, Hasbro wants her to be a "surprise" for future hype segments.  (IMO this is also why they didn't show any clips from the 3D show.)

Nope, still looks awful. The crab is drawn better then they are.   I wonder if Misty was a mistake, or if they're adding a new character, or subtracting Zipp?

Zipp stays. She has the most high profile actor. There was an unnamed blue unicorn shown in the Mini World Maretime Bay set, maybe that's her? Since the sets seem to be characters we have names for so far (at least the small one. Brighthouse maybe a little different).

Sunny's lighthouse has been revamped is now called Crystal Brighthouse. The new Golden Oaks Library, if you will.

[lowpolyzoe]

Ahhh goodness, I really do not like that 2D art style in motion either but it's not the main show so I don't mind. It's just 5 minute shorts and the mini sets are cute enough to make me look past that the show just looks stilted and awkward.

30 minutes per episode for the main series seems a bit much to swallow, I really liked FiM's serialized and fantasy aspects (not a popular opinion here I think) so I really hope we see more of that alongside the shorts. Also absolutely delighted that Zipp is keeping her movie VA! 500 minutes of animation is a huge amount to, here's hoping it's good! Looking forward for that main series release  (I may also want to know what's happened to some of FiM's lose ends, very strange that Ruler of Equestria Twilight is just no longer around and that very few people remember her and her friends)

EDIT: Make your Mark kind of reminds me of G4.5's Pony Life if it was running at the same time as FiM which is welcome I think, I like Pony Life but I think I would have liked it more if it wasn't the 'follow up' to FiM
