Before we start this video, I just want to say that I know my voice isn’t the clearest
and neither is my microphone, so please bear with me and if you need help you can activate
subtitles or look in the description for the whole script, thank you! Now onto the video.
Hello every-brony, I am Lightningstripe and in this video I will be covering every
single piece of information out there on the upcoming MLP G5 movie up to this day.
Before we move on to the information, I just wanted to say that all of it is coming
from either other YT videos and Equestria Daily, link in the description for both.
While the movie title and plot have not yet been released,
we have been given a release date to look forward to, September 24th, 2021,
as well as posts from the MLP team about some plans for the movie and animation.
As far as looks go, we know it will be 3D CGI, like the movie from 2017, but more 3D.
So it’ll probably look more like the “Hello Pinkie Pie” show.
They had started designs back in 2017, but those were scrapped.
First of all, there is a lot of confusion about the characters, and even I am not completely sure
what to expect. Hasbro had started character designs in 2017, but it was really weird.
they made Twilight an earth pony, pinkie pie a Pegasus (not a good idea), Fluttershy a unicorn,
and they pretty much replaced applejack. But, as I said before, those designs were
scrapped. But there is still confusion when it comes to who exactly will show up in G5.
Tara Strong, Twilight sparkle’s voice actress,
said during a live stream that Twilight Sparkle will not be appearing in G5.
This could either mean that twilight wont play a part in the movie whatsoever,
or that her voice actor changes and Tara Strong doesn’t know about it yet.
Changing Twilight Sparkle’s voice actress from Tara Strong to someone else wouldn’t make any sense,
seeing as Tara Strong’s voice is so widely known around the My Little Pony community.
But Twilight showing up in the movie at all also wouldn’t make any sense, seeing as she not only is
the princess of friendship, but also the princess of all Equestria, at the end of the Last Problem.
What i think is going to happen, is that Twilight, as well as the mane 6, will show up,
but more as references and cameos for generation 4 fans, and won't need as much, if any, dialogue
since they won't be the “mane” focus of this new generation.
Then who will? That hasn’t been released yet. We do know that the main characters will change,
but we don't necessarily know who the new mane 6 will be. Hasbro has said they will include,
quote unquote “a new generation of ponies to a new generation of fans.”
But, they have also said that they might bring back an “old cast”,
but this doesn’t necessarily mean the mane 6, this could also mean
Generation 1 and Generation 3 ponies, which would be pretty interesting.
After the movie, there will be a G5 series,
starring the new cast, but nothing has been released about that.
During the festival of licensing, a virtual event which Hasbro was in,
they used a picture of Octavia, Bon Bon, Lyra, DJ Pon3/vinyl, Derpy Hooves,
and DR Whooves when talking about the new cast, but they never said those are the
ponies that will be the new mane cast. But they are the closest thing we have to one.
But things could change, like the first character designs did,
and we really are going in blind at this new generation. Hopefully it’ll be really worth it,
I know many bronies are waiting like me for Generation 5 to come out, and we’re really excited
to know more, which is why I will be doing more videos like this one as more info comes out,
so please leave a like and subscribe to see more videos like this, as well as some analyzing,
reviewing, and theorizing about MLP. Thank you for watching and remember, Friendship is Magic.
