WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en-US 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:05.360 Before we start this video, I just want to  say that I know my voice isn’t the clearest   00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:09.760 and neither is my microphone, so please bear  with me and if you need help you can activate   00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:15.920 subtitles or look in the description for the  whole script, thank you! Now onto the video. 00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:19.760 Hello every-brony, I am Lightningstripe  and in this video I will be covering every   00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.920 single piece of information out there on  the upcoming MLP G5 movie up to this day. 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:27.680 Before we move on to the information, I  just wanted to say that all of it is coming   00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:31.680 from either other YT videos and Equestria  Daily, link in the description for both. 00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:35.120 While the movie title and plot  have not yet been released,   00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:40.000 we have been given a release date to  look forward to, September 24th, 2021,   00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.080 as well as posts from the MLP team about  some plans for the movie and animation. 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:52.080 As far as looks go, we know it will be 3D  CGI, like the movie from 2017, but more 3D.   00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:54.720 So it’ll probably look more like  the “Hello Pinkie Pie” show.   00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.800 They had started designs back in  2017, but those were scrapped. 00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:03.600 First of all, there is a lot of confusion about  the characters, and even I am not completely sure   00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:08.560 what to expect. Hasbro had started character  designs in 2017, but it was really weird.   00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:14.800 they made Twilight an earth pony, pinkie pie a  Pegasus (not a good idea), Fluttershy a unicorn,   00:01:14.800 --> 00:01:19.280 and they pretty much replaced applejack. But,  as I said before, those designs were   00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.840 scrapped. But there is still confusion when  it comes to who exactly will show up in G5. 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.360 Tara Strong, Twilight sparkle’s voice actress,   00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:31.040 said during a live stream that Twilight  Sparkle will not be appearing in G5. 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.440 This could either mean that twilight  wont play a part in the movie whatsoever,   00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.840 or that her voice actor changes and  Tara Strong doesn’t know about it yet. 00:01:41.360 --> 00:01:46.480 Changing Twilight Sparkle’s voice actress from Tara  Strong to someone else wouldn’t make any sense,   00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:51.280 seeing as Tara Strong’s voice is so widely  known around the My Little Pony community. 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:58.560 But Twilight showing up in the movie at all also  wouldn’t make any sense, seeing as she not only is   00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:03.360 the princess of friendship, but also the princess  of all Equestria, at the end of the Last Problem. 00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:09.280 What i think is going to happen, is that  Twilight, as well as the mane 6, will show up,   00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:16.000 but more as references and cameos for generation  4 fans, and won't need as much, if any, dialogue   00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.880 since they won't be the “mane”  focus of this new generation. 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:26.480 Then who will? That hasn’t been released yet.  We do know that the main characters will change,   00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:33.120 but we don't necessarily know who the new mane  6 will be. Hasbro has said they will include,   00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.120 quote unquote “a new generation of  ponies to a new generation of fans.” 00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:42.000 But, they have also said that they  might bring back an “old cast”,   00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:46.240 but this doesn’t necessarily mean  the mane 6, this could also mean   00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.240 Generation 1 and Generation 3 ponies,  which would be pretty interesting. 00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:54.960 After the movie, there will be a G5 series,   00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.840 starring the new cast, but nothing  has been released about that. 00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:02.720 During the festival of licensing, a  virtual event which Hasbro was in,   00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:09.440 they used a picture of Octavia, Bon  Bon, Lyra, DJ Pon3/vinyl, Derpy Hooves,   00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:15.120 and DR Whooves when talking about the new  cast, but they never said those are the   00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.600 ponies that will be the new mane cast. But  they are the closest thing we have to one. 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.200 But things could change, like  the first character designs did,   00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:27.280 and we really are going in blind at this new  generation. Hopefully it’ll be really worth it,   00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:31.520 I know many bronies are waiting like me for  Generation 5 to come out, and we’re really excited   00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.920 to know more, which is why I will be doing more  videos like this one as more info comes out,   00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:39.760 so please leave a like and subscribe to see more  videos like this, as well as some analyzing,   00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:44.960 reviewing, and theorizing about MLP. Thank you  for watching and remember, Friendship is Magic.
