MLP Movie Fan Cringe -

[vertexwindi]

fftopic: but here's a leak.

Looks like it was animated on ToonBoom, so all the talk about it being a callback to traditionally animated films is silly.
Anyways...

Spoiler: I wasted an hour and a half of my life

First of all, Hasbro plugs Hungry Hungry Hippos (which they own) within the first 30 minutes of it.

Other than that though, it's... alright? Can't review it from any sort of fan's standpoint but it's a pretty average kid's movie; the VA for the main characters is grating, the colours pop, it spoonfeeds everything to you and paces stuff awkwardly so seven year olds can get it, et cetera. I'll admit some of the background art and scene setups are visually gorgeous, but at the same time there are a bunch of pretty obvious mistakes (full plates turned empty during the pirate song was the most jarring to me, but the legs on the models are often weirdly rigged) that really makes me wonder how long they've been making this movie. Also, the meshing of CGI and 2D is The Road To El Dorado levels of horrific.
In all it's a bump above straight-to-DVD quality but it still feels like an overly-saccharine Disney ripoff, with even more awkwardly shoved-in songs and a fraction of the budget.

Oh and at some point the main characters turn into sea-horses for a single song before turning back. There's no reason for it to be there other than to market toys, and by the looks of it Hasbro has released multiple lines of seapony toys.
Also this:

Spoiler: funko pop

So in a nutshell, it's an above-average commercial made to sell toys. Sounds about right.

It sounds pretty good. People should go see it.

I don't know - if you happen to be an actual parent with a kid who might love this BS, then I can concour, what with pleasing the core demo and all that - which I know that's all there is to it.

However, to be serious for a moment:
If you really want to be a good parent, get your kids to sit down to more actually good R/PG-13 rated fare in the future. If only so they don't end up becoming part of the problem we're seeing here.

“you want to go see the My Little Pony movie for your 7th birthday, sweetie? too fucking bad, that shit causes autism. you’re watching The Color Purple today you little bitch.”

For real I think more bronies just need to embrace how ridiculous the whole thing is. We'd probably get a lot less cringe.

Most if not all baddies turned good by the power of friendship, hugging and laughter, possibly dance party. Camera zooms out of the pony world, credits roll, ending credit song plays (probably some sort of electric guitar version of the series opening theme).

After credits scene with some fan favorite character interacting with main bad guy in humorous manner. Probably the exceptional individual pony with bad eyesight.

Right. Due to the film getting leaked to the internets, we can check the predictions scorecard:

• Most baddies turned good by the friedships - correct except for the main bad guy
• hugging and laughter - correct
• motherfucking dance party - correct
  
• camera zoom before credit roll - incorrect
• electric guitar version of main theme - no, just some generic autotuned pop
• post-credits interaction with main baddy - hell no, the guy literally gets scattered across the landcape. also no post-credits scene AT ALL, which is probably illegal these days

The film was generally inoffensive but violent enough to not be 100% boring. The brats liked it for the most part, but kids are fucking stupid.

Blame 4chan. They were degenerates before MLP showed up, and they just brought their already existing degeneracy into a new forum.

Bronies are more or less the result of /b/tards spreading horse autism to fuck with people, so says this autistic research on bronies

*tl;dr /b/ autism is how bronies came to be.

Everyone please flood all social media sites with as many spoilers as you can.

But W- oh wait, These are bronies, they fucking deserve it. I'm not a brony, btw. Just thought you might know.

From what I heard, that's ACTUALLY the entire movie. Either, A) you watched it, or B) you're a really good guesser.

EDIT: I didn't see the previous posts.

It was a combo of /b/tards shitposting ponies everywhere and /co/ autists screeching autistically for it to be deleted.

There's no reason for it to be there other than to market toys, and by the looks of it Hasbro has released multiple lines of seapony toys. Google says some of them are already being resold for USD $20-30 a set.

Years ago, not too long after the brony fad started, "seaponies" were one of the first of many countless and obnoxious memes within the fandom. Like "ponies in socks" or those "fluffy" ponies that some bronies like to fantasize about murdering in gruesome ways. It had something to do with there being an episode and song about seaponies in a previous generation of the show.

I am 90% certain that this scene and merchandise you are talking about was likely produced as another pandering moment to squeeze more cash out of bronies by catering to their dumb headcanons.

I wanted to go with my 5 years old daughter but I guess I'll wait a little longer.

Seaponies have been around since G1, I remember having them as a kid. Bronies think they're more important than they are.

I want to say they were in the first MLP movie from the 80s.

they are terrifying, why would anyone want to see this thing again?
it´s like the deformed kids that were trown into the sea, pony version

Very progressive of them to make thalidomide ponies.

Gross furry bronies are getting boners over a kids movie. Let’s mock them

More like because there's a war in heaven right now... Debating on how to deal with our BS brought on by these freaks.

Apparently Sia had a role in the movie, complete with a pony-sona.

She had one line, a short scene where she sings to herself, and sings the ending song before the credits. That's all she does but she was used in advertisements for the film a lot.

For real I think more bronies just need to embrace how ridiculous the whole thing is. We'd probably get a lot less cringe.

Being self-conscious and laughing at your love for a little girl's cartoon that you've had for seven years is more respectable than pretending it's not abnormal.

that's Jenny Nicholson, she's doing a parody of the obsessive fandom nitpicking ("Sia music video cinematic universe"). Although afaik she actually is a MLP fan

She sounds like the type that would make a decent Kiwi.
