MLP G5 Discussion and Speculation Thread

How does the release date give it away? November’s still in fall.

@Background Pony #3C95  
it’s supposed to be released on the 24th of september

@Shimmering Spectacle  
and here’s where it comes from.

I personally didn’t hear anything like that. But hey, if it does, awesome. That’s 4 days after my birthday.

@Background Pony #3C95  
Here’s a surprise.

Then again, anything’s possible.

I know we all already agreed that the cast “leak” was fake but what instantly made me think it was fake was the runtime. I’m mentioning this because I just want to make sure people’s expectations aren’t too high.  
This movie is not gonna be that close to 2 hours. Kids movies, especially ANIMATED kids movies (animation’s expensive) usually aren’t. I think we’ll be lucky if we get the runtime of the FiM movie. BUT I’m sure it’ll be longer than the first Equestria Girls film.

Well, the movie’s gotta run long enough for to establish Sunny and her motivations, for Sunny to meet Izzy, for them to travel around Equestria, also establish the other main characters like Hitch, Pipp, Zipp, Unnamed Stallion, flying Pomeranian etc. , face a villain/obstacle to the friendship quest, and convince the rest of Equestria to stop being dunderheads and reunite.
 
So I can see one or two of the new Mane 6 getting the same treatment Applejack and Fluttershy got in the first movie.

90 minutes at best but probably only 87 minutes

I thought they said it was gonna be 45 minutes, or was that another rumor?

@WyrmSpawN  
Besides the animated Dumbo movie I can’t think of another film that short

@WyrmSpawN  
45 minutes is a not a movie run time.

@northern haste  
Overly long specials are called movies sometimes.

@WyrmSpawN  
But its not a special.  
45 minutes is 2 two episodes

@Background Pony #4D5A  
it’s been known for years that it’s gonna be released this september  
if you don’t believe me then, look in this!

The Paramount Logo also raises some flags. They were only a distributor and the move to Netflix left them with only the Chinese right

@Shimmering Spectacle  
shrugs First time, I’ve seen it. As far as I knew, the only release date we had was “in Fall”, which meant anywhere from Sep. 22 to Dec. 21. It’s not like I have anything against the movie being released in Sep. 24. I’ll be happy if we get it that time.

@Background Pony #3C95  
of which i’m very much sure that it’s gonna be released on sep 24.

Any suggestions when the trailer will be out?

@Shimmering Spectacle  
That’s the date of theatrical release in USA, with a bunch more different dates in different countries. They specifically said that the date is not known anymore in the article, now that it’s on Netflix, beyond “Fall 2021”. Different contracts, different marketing, different date.

Until we get more info, this is my official prediction:
 
*The question of “Why does one species get to control The Sun and Moon?” gradually drove a wedge between the different species, which fits the theme of “paranoia and mistrust”.
 
*This eventually led to conflict, which ended the golden age of harmony.
 
*It would be easy enough to spin these events into a cautionary tale about not trusting other species. This is why Twilight’s message is something modern Equestria needs to be persuaded on.

@DerpyFast  
that actually makes alot of sense actually. Maybe combo it with a mane 6 sacrifice to defeat some villain that might pop up in g5.

@Vortaxonus  
Agreed.

@Shimmering Spectacle  
@northern haste  

@Background Pony #CF50
