The My Little Pony Movie

why are there so many famous names attached to this movie?

@Background Pony #864A  
Because Hasbro has a ton of money they can throw at projects like this.

@Background Pony #864A  
Hasbro’s a multi billion dollar company. So they can afford it.

that teaser was somewhat bad first impression

@Background Pony #2715  
You mean it HAD a bad first impression.

so in the original script there was going to be some focus on the alicorns and Celly and Luna’s origins, do you think some of that will carry over? such as the storm King trying to find the alicorns or something?

I still have serious doubts about the whole seaponies deal, I still think it should be something more natural like going to the Zebras kingdom instead.

@Princess Trixie vi Equestria  
How would that not be “natural” and how would the zebras be more “natural?”

@Takashi.0  
Zebras were already introduced but never gotten deep into, seaponies is something made specifically for the movie…

Sounds like they’re going all over the place in this

so here I go asking the same question a ton of other people have been wondering about  
I wonder if anyone will die? I mean they are going for a bigger impacting story and it happens in movies allot so that gets me thinking.
 
e.g Celestia or Luna one of the mane six or another side character getting turned into ice/stone and being shattered into pieces much like what happened to that crystal princess character in the comics.  
or someone sacrificing themselves with a powerful magic in order to defeat Storm King.

@Background Pony #1D65  
Considering this is MLP and not a “war” feature like GI Joe or Transformers, if somepony dies it sure won’t be permanent.
 
My guess would be either Twilight or one of the Movie-exclusive characters.

@Background Pony #1D65
 
@Takashi.0  
Think there is a low chance of someone dying.

Does anyone know the movie rating for the movie?

@Background Pony #46ED  
PG apparently.

@ice1517  
….that sounds wicked awesome. :)

@Background Pony #46ED  
That’s just the “expectation”, not the real rating. If anything, the REAL one could be G.

168 days before the movie release  
100 days before the “Friendship Day” trailer

I wonder if those Hippogriff knights will have any significance to the plot  
or whether they will just be side characters, it’s stated that they are the guards of Queen Novo who I am suspecting may be a key character.

So there was a leak for the toys that listed a capper toy with a sword and a “flintlock blaster”. And if the leaks are true the stormking’s henchmen will have blasters too.
 
I hear hasbro has a tendancy of making toys out of stuff that isn’t in the shows/movies but I wonder if this means we are getting guns in the movie? and are they going to be lasers or actual ballistic guns?
 
Because laser guns would probably clash with the setting but at the same time actual guns are probably a no-go in a movie that will be rated PG or lower.

@apegacine  
Yeah, that’s not going to work.

@apegacine  
This concern is terribly late considering the mini jet toy on the evil pony.

@apegacine  
“clash with the setting.”
 
Of Equestria maybe, but maybe not wherever Storm King’s from.

@PonyPon  
Those (and Tempest jet thingie) comes from the Guardians of Harmony toyline,who among other things had a toy of Spike in his “greed-roid rage” form and combat armor and the Wonderbolts with jetpack.They’re not guaranteed to be canon,they have a possibility to just have been made because “rule of cool”
