Just Kidden, have you seen this trailer yet?

This thing looks so amazingly awesome, I totally am going to see it in theaters. I'll probably cosplay as somepony too!

If there is a theater near enough to me, I'm totally going to watch this if I can make it so.
It doesn't look perfect, but there will be at least some pony parts of it, which is pretty good.  I'll reserve judgment until I see it.

I wonder what the children to brony ratio will be the the theaters.

ALSO, does anyone know where I can look up which theaters are showing this film?

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

The trailer makes this film out to be everything I've expected and nothing I've hoped for.

Also...

i just spent my whole weekend at eqla and now i have loads of pictures and videos which i'm compiling into a weird mockumentary about bronies

...that's not a mockumentary, you fiend.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

Well, I am just done with people in general. I don't care what any of you guys think. Equestria Girls looks awesome.
(this isn't oriented towards the good folk of Bricks In Motion specifically, because I've encountered negative sentiments wherever I go)
EDIT: and if anyone mentions family guy again I'm gonna

ANP, I found this. No idea if it's accurate, but it's looking like they aren't showing it in my city (which is odd, as I live in like hipster central)
I'm hoping that it will be successful enough to be given a larger release.

Wow, the movie looks like a piece of crap.




Now I have to decide if I'll be watching it on DVD or in a theater.

There seems to be a showing in a city that is not unreasonably far from the home to which I shall move in a few days. mini/smile
Now I just have to convince my mum to take me...

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

Meh, personally I'm not as dazzled by the trailer as some of you guys are. I do think that it has the potential to be great, but at the same time it looks like it could easily be messed up.

I'll still see it, that's for sure.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

The only thing that could redeem Equestria Girls for me is either if there is far more actual Pony than the trailer implies, or if 90% of it is just a continued shot of Lyra screaming into the camera.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

So, the place to which I'll be moving soon will have a theater showing EG within 30 minutes of my house.
Also, my fellow brony Outernet friend is thinking of taking a road trip over to watch it with me.

THIS DAY IS GOING TO BE PERFECT!
THE KIND OF DAY OF WHICH I'VE DREAMED SINCE I WAS SMALL!

As my friend pointed out, it would probably actually be more amusing is the entire film were ironically Lyra free.

I'm still feeling both extremely optimistic and pessimistic about this at the same time.
I'm trying to keep the feelings balanced so I won't feel too bad if it's meh, nor lose my hope to give it a chance.
Nervecited sums up how I feel quite well.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

Considering many FiM staffers flat out refused to have anything to do with Equestria Girls, I'm not hopeful.

Forgive me for doubting you, but I still haven't heard anypony else besides you say that.

I believe in M. A. Larson Meghan McCarthy.

Also, Ingram himself said that the music would be "off the hook"  That itself makes it worthy of a try.

(I'm starting to get used to the human forms and they actually look pretty good)

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

Eh, I'll save my thoughts for Equestria Girls until after I see it (if i ever do). So far the character designs don't impress me, but then again it is for little girls. At least Twi doesn't have wings as a human (at least in the trailer).

You can do anything, just have fun while doing it.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

Looking at the trailer, the animation looks pretty much the same quality as the show. That's a relief.

I'm glad the human versions don't have wings or horns or cutie mark face tattoos, unlike some of the art we saw earlier. Even though the skin colors are still the same as their pony selves, I guess it isn't that bad.

You know, I'm probably going to watch it at some point when it's available to watch online. After all, the worst thing that could happen is that it could be like a meh episode of the show. The only thing that has a possibility of being lower quality than usual at this point is the story. (Who wrote it, anyway? I sure would like to know.)

Not literally dead, just no longer interested in Lego or animation.

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discussion Thread

To me, it looks like it embraces a lot of gender stereotypes that the show has been good about rejecting. Twilight's already a friggin' REAL princess, who cares about this high school popularity contest crap.

That said, it's reassuring to know they're not making a spinoff TV show of this. It doesn't seem that unreasonable to me that they're doing a movie that has a "twist" to it, since they've got a little more time to explore something different with the feature film format.
