Although it’s an extremely unlikely idea for Hasbro to consider, this conceptual poster is an example of what if the 2017 My Little Pony movie would make a comeback for a live concert event.
Despite the film’s lack of prominence nowadays following the G4 series’ conclusion, it’s hard to deny that an average kids film based on a once popular kids show could bring the MLP community together for something that (while not 100% guaranteed) should give the film the exceptional value it deserves.
And much in the vein of other popular films that occasionally earned those treatments (i.e. Ghostbusters, The Polar Express, Fantasia, etc.), the film’s score and songs would be performed by a live orchestra and choir, with the entire film projected on a giant screen. The one requirement for it to work however, is to implement the deleted “Equestria” song in the opening number, since that fits the upbeat, majestic tone of what it originally established, unlike the dated “We Got The Beat” cover the execs at Lionsgate demanded for the theatrical cut.
The artwork is identical to my previous cover art for Hasbro in Concert, but the CG filmstrip’s frames were changed to screenshots edited from the film, as well as the background visuals. And so far, it received major buzz on Daniel Ingram’s X account (formerly Twitter), as he finds it impressive and promising for MLP fans to attend, even if it sounds unlikely for Hasbro to approve.
