[tigertron]

I wonder if this will be a full length cinema movie or be a mini movie with a limited theatrical run like Equestria Girls?

Meghan McCarthy, the current showrunner of Friendship is Magic, confirmed that the movie will be a part of the current show. She will also serve as Producer, and help with the story.

[Randall Flagg]

Could be cool if done right.

The lowercase L in the title is bugging the hell out of me.

Full length, I'll go and see it like I did Rainbow Rocks. I hated that those got a limited run but at least I was lucky enough to have place around me actually show it.

PM a mod and request them to edit it.

Don't forget guys that EQ Girls - Friendship Games is coming out soon as well.
Also, I believe iirc we will get 2 more Seasons at least before the show ends.

Oh it will be, finally a movie that actually has Ponies and isn't a EQ one. Don't get me wrong, I love and enjoy the EQ ones but this is long over do. And I hope Sunset Shimmer will be in it.

My Little Pony: The Limetless Hooflet Part 1

That can't be the title. If so then it is terrible. And I'm guessing you meant Limitless and hoofbeat correct?

Looks like that is something from some fan made clop story.

Don't think that is the real title. Considering that the movie is 2 years away it'll be awhile before we see a real title.

Lionsgate and Hasbro Team for Animated My Little Pony Movie

Kristin Chenoweth will voice a new character in the My Little Pony movie

Lionsgate and Hasbro are teaming up to prove that “friendship is magic” as the two companies are developing a big screen, animated My Little Pony movie. Meghan McCarthy, fan-favorite writer and producer for the “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” animated series, is penning the screenplay, which will be produced by Hasbro’s Allspark Pictures. Lionsgate will be distributing and marketing the film globally (except in China ). Tony and Emmy Award-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth will voice a new character in the film, which is Hasbro’s first animated feature.

The “My Little Pony” brand has been enchanting fans of all ages worldwide for more than 30 years with its socially relevant messages of acceptance and friendship. What started in 1983 as a toy line of colorful ponies with unique symbols, called “cutie marks,” has since exploded into international, multi-media, pop culture phenomena that grossed over $1 billion in retail sales in 2014. The entertainment continues to engage and inspire kids and families in over 180 countries across the globe.

“We are pleased to partner with Hasbro to bring their brands to audiences in new and exciting ways,” said Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Co-President Erik Feig.” Meghan McCarthy and the ‘My Little Pony’ cast are a very talented and cohesive team whom we’re happy to be working with and we’re excited about the addition of the very talented Kristin Chenoweth, as we explore new aspects of these characters and new story opportunities for the franchise.”

“We are thrilled to expand the ‘My Little Pony’ story to the big screen, and take these beloved characters on a new and unexpected journey that will delight fans of all ages,” said Stephen Davis, Chief Content Officer, Hasbro, Inc. “It’s an honor to add Kristin Chenoweth to the cast as the voice of an all new, never-before-seen ‘My Little Pony’ character in the film. Her incredible Broadway and silver screen performances in “Wicked,” “Glee,” and many more make her the perfect fit for this animated, musical adventure.”

In the movie, a new dark force threatens Ponyville, and the Mane 6 – Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity – embark on an unforgettable journey beyond Equestria where they meet new friends and exciting challenges on a quest to use the magic of friendship and save their home. The My Little Pony movie will feature all new music with the Mane Six characters voiced by Tara Strong, Cathy Weseluck, Andrea Libman, Tabitha St. Germain and Ashleigh Ball. Jayson Theissen is directing. Brian Goldner and Stephen Davis are producing the film with Meghan McCarthy and Michael Vogel co-executive producing.

Creative executives Jeyun Choi Munford and Kyle Benn will oversee the movie on behalf of Lionsgate, and Josh Feldman is overseeing development on behalf of Hasbro. The deal was negotiated by Jean Chi , Executive Vice President, Business and Legal Affairs for Lionsgate, and Michael Eisner, Senior Vice President, Business and Legal Affairs for Hasbro. This is the second film from Lionsgate and Hasbro, who are also producing a live action film based on the iconic board game, Monopoly.

Excellent news! I was worried that Sony was going to distribute it but I'm glad Hasbro have gone with Lionsgate, great choice. I'm also very happy Meghan McCarthy is writing it now. I've not seen Kristin Chenoweth in anything but based on her credits I think she should be a good addition to the film. I wonder if John De Lancie will be involved.

[neoz]

Interesting, I thought Meghan McCarthy got a new job but then I realized she did but it was within the company.
I'm interested to see what it will even be about considering that pretty much almost everything has been covered the last 5 Seasons lol.

Oh well till then I have Friendship Games to look forward to.

The O in that logo reminds me of E Plurbius Anus from Community.

I wonder how many ped...er Bronies will be in the theaters opening weekend?
