The My Little Pony Movie

@Oddball64  
Let me see… I think we can listen to some of it on Youtube. Here’s the playlist.

@Oddball64  
I wish it was.
 
Maybe in a 2-disc soundtrack album with the first disc being the movie’s OST while the second disc is the songs from the film (including Rachel Platten’s We Got the Beat Cover)
 
Get on it Sony Music! It’s been a gosh darn year

@Oddball64  
pretty sure all the songs are in the soundtrack except for ponies got the beat

@northern haste  
I think he means the instrumental score of the movie.

@Joshua  
Yes.
 
I also mean it like a rerelease.

How would you say the movie compares to Disney movies? What movies is it better than?

@Background Pony #1B6E  
Based on animation quality? I say they’re both equally beautiful.

@Joshua
 
I mean overall quality.

@Background Pony #1B6E  
Well, don’t expect me to pretend the MLP movie dwarfs the likes of Tarzan or The Lion King, but I say it’s still great.

I haven’t said it earlier, but I managed to watch the MLP film in theaters three times: One when it came out and the other two this october. The third time I’ve watched it some guy who recognized me told me “hey, you already watched it, why do you wanna see it again?”.
 
I think that question is pretty funny because we could say that to the Lord of the Rings fans and Star Wars fans about these movies. And I love rewatching movies. I watched Casablanca 7 times, I watched Blade Runner 12 times, I watched WALL·E 18 times… I even watched Frozen 30 times.

@Ring Team  
Speaking of which, I can see some similarities between Lord of the Rings and MLP the Movie. Not just for the fantasy setting and the fact that Canterlot is heavily inspired by Minas Tirith, Mind you; it all has to do with the monomyth.

@Joshua  
The only similarity I see between these movies are the fact that they’re fantasy movies, probably because I’m not into Lord of the Rings, I can’t say that much. There’s a nice castle, a huge variety of creatures, a battle against some bad guys at the end… but nothing much.

@Ring Team  
But as I said, both movies follow the monomyth, also known as The Hero’s Journey. You can read about it here.

@Joshua  
Though The Hero’s Journey applies more to Tempest than to Twilight.
 
The Call to Action is her losing her horn.  
The Refusal of the Call is her trying to go back to playing with her friends.  
Her Supernatural Aid is a horn that can shoot lightning.  
Leaving her home is crossing the threshold.  
The Storm King is The Shapeshifter, a character she doesn’t trust, but still needs help from.  
Celestia, Luna, and Cadence are The Goddesses.  
Twilight is debatably The Temptress, but with a twist. Twilight is trying to get Tempest to stray from her quest, but that would actually be a good thing.  
Atonement with The Father is her fighting against The Storm King, the male character who has ultimate power over her.  
In a way, she has two Deaths and Rebirths. The first is when she loses her horn and the naive, innocent Tempest dies. The second is when she sacrifices herself to defeat The Storm King, and is reborn as the kind, selfless character she once was.  
The Return With Elixir is her realizing she can use her horn to create something beautiful, and the Freedom to Live is her doing a fireworks show to accompany the Celebration of The Storm King’s defeat.

@DerpyFast  
It can apply to Tempest too, but in the MLP movie, she’s the shapeshifter; an evil character turning good near the end.

Are people still upset that the celebrity names were used to market the film instead of the main cast who are just everyday actors?

@northern haste  
I don’t think so. The person who posted that “fixed” poster image must’ve done it for laughs.

@northern haste  
Can you blame Lionsgate or even the producer and creative consultant who previously worked on Ratchet and Clank?
 
Besides the “fixed poster” was done for shits and giggles anyway.
 
At least TTG gave no one top billing (which explains why it got more praise than MLP)

@Hollowfox the Stallion  
How did the TTG movie get more praise than MLP again?

@Red-Supernova  
Idk.
 
Must be the popularity of the story was more simple that it doesn’t feel like an extended episode of the show.

Ladies and gentlemen, Daniel Ingram has finally answered our prayers.
 

@Joshua
 
I’m guessing this is the thing that he was planning on announcing tomorrow, but it seems iTunes beat him to the punch.

Ugh, Equestria should have been used instead of Ponies Got the Beat.  
I bet it’s executive meddling of some sorts…

@Gian Song Yim  
I remember hearing that it was.

@Gian Song Yim  
On the plus side, it DID open up to some more opportunities for 80s songs in MLP.
