The most disappointing but probably correct answer here.

I think one of the problems Hasbro did with gen 4 is that, Hasbro was really slow when it came to them branching out but now things are happening too fast. If the show fails then what? It’s like they’re putting to much into this gen without letting it show for itself.

This was my thoughts, pretty much.

Kimiko Glenn isn’t Canadian, she’s from Arizona, but it’s still surprising not seeing her comeback since she’s more well known for being in to voice acting. Liza Koshy is also a surprise to me because she’s a YouTuber who had one show that not a lot people heard of – which also starred Kimiko as well.
Ditto. The only VAs I was skeptical of returning were Marsden and maybe Hudgens, since they were the most prominent out of the cast. Glenn and Koshy YouTuber-famous, and Carson is a literally-who.
Them recasting everyone makes me wonder if the movie should be treated as canon, because if the casting transition goes badly, the shorts and the show will come across as a soft-reboot of G5…which would really disappoint me if that happened, because I really liked the G5 movie.

The show is called Tell Your Tales. So it’s probably rolling out now as a way of re-introducing the characters and setting on a budget. Stuff that they would otherwise leave out of the hi-fi Netflix series. And obviously Hasbro is looking to establish a larger presence on YT. Remarkable though that they opted to avoid network television altogether.

I guess you’re right.
My Little Pony: Make Your Mark, an animated series which will premiere as a 44-minute animated special on Netflix on May 26, followed by the launch of an eight-episode series with the same name on September 26. A second 44-minute special, My Little Pony: Winter Wishday, will debut on Netflix on November 21.
Woah.

As much as I’m also against the bean mouth style like everyone else, I’m glad that it’s just for these YouTube series as opposed to the actual series itself coming later, cause I think even their target demographic for little girls would’ve noticed something was off if they would’ve implemented that into the series as well.

Berrow is apparently writing the G5 special, and will either be a writer for the series, or the showrunner.
Not really sure how I feel about this. She wasn’t one of FiM’s better writers, if I’m being honest.

Gotta be honest. 2D G5 looks ugly.
But using “calarts” as an argument is dumb as hell. It has no real meaning since it was actually used on Iron Giant first.

They’re are so many fan artists that do a great job translating the 3d style to 2d really well so having the official style look unoriginal and awkward, is disappointing. But then again, the 5 minute episodic show on YouTube shouldn’t be expected to have the biggest budget. However, I’m extremely surprised how good the 3d for the Netflix show looks. And yes, people took the word Cal-Arts and ran with it.

Which ironically for most people well the ones I’ve seen at least who rant about it, is that anime counts as calarts due to the original styles being Disney inspired lol

What i find funny is that if any character has bean mouths then people will automatically call it “calarts”. Anyone remember Aardman?

At one point CalArts Was an actual was spaans I got one I was pointing out (at the time anyway) with pony life we only had a toy commercial and not an actual trailer.
Even at the time I could tell the toy commercial was not accurate to the actual show.
By the way I’m not referring to the artstyle of pony life
