(Diary excerpt: “I love wearing heels, it makes me feel like a pony!”) Looking back on TV shows like My Little Pony and Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders–shows in which the powerful female figure was demonized as evil and the main character was always blond and blue-eyed–made me think, “Wow, the old days were so sexist and racist and heteronormative–thank goodness kids shows aren’t like that anymore!” Having been thoroughly indoctrinated as a child to love ponies–and My Little Pony in particular–much of my understandings of femininity and heteronormativity come directly from my childhood interactions with cartoon ponies. Hasbro and Netflix did not share a release window, or preview art of the new artistic style.In case you missed out, it’s My Little Pony week on the Ms. Produced by Boulder Studio in Dublin, the film will be directed by Rob Cullen and Jose Ucha with Mark Fattibene as co-director. The world Sunny has dreamed of her entire life could finally become a reality as Sunny and her newfound friends fight to prove that even LITTLE ponies can make a BIG difference. Their adventures will take them to faraway lands and force them to challenge the status quo by facing their fears and making new friends out of old enemies. Izzy and Sunny must embark on an epic adventure that will include a daring jewel heist, outrageous conspiracy theories, elaborate musical numbers, and the world’s cutest flying Pomeranian. When Sunny befriends a lost Unicorn named Izzy, who wanders innocently into the Earth Pony town of Maretime Bay, the town has had enough.

Sunny - a feisty and idealistic young Earth Pony - is convinced there’s still hope for this divided world … but her slightly misguided and often hilarious efforts to change hearts and minds have led to her being branded a misfit. (GASP!) Friendship and Harmony have been replaced by paranoia and mistrust, and Ponies now live separated by species. The pony world of Equestria has lost its magic. The new look and new ponies will also get their own toyline, the My Little Pony franchise’s Generation 5. The movie will introduce fans to a new set of mane characters, starting with Sunny Starscout the Earth Pony and Izzy the Unicorn.

With the final installment of the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic empire landing on Netflix later this year, Hasbro and Netflix have announced how they will follow up the legendary horse girl/girl horses franchise with a brand-new incarnation in a brand-new style.įor the first time, My Little Pony will get a CG-animated series, and it will kick off with a feature-length film in “theatrical-quality CG animation,” the companies said in a news release.
