The only thing that's fully confirmed is that the TV Movie is to launch a new IP, which I think we can safely say is Equestria Girls.

Kidscreen magazine's announcement is confirmed to be real (scroll down to "Update:" here); we just don't know exactly how accurate that magazine announcement is.

why would the have Trixie appear on the spin off over other well known ponies (Derpy) other then because Sethisto is the biggest Trixie fan-boy ever?
Possibly for the same reason that Hasbro has made five different Trixie Lulamoon pony toys.

Trixie has always been popular. I think Lauren Faust herself said the ending of Boast Busters was to set up an eventual return, which we got in Season 3 of course. She makes a good foil to our Adorkable heroine.

Trixie could easily be the typical Alpha Bitch for a High School AU, especially since I doubt they're gonna age up Diamond Tiara to "antagonize" the Mane Six.

[up] wouldn't that defy her Heel–Face Turn in Magic Duel (I know about the Alternate Universe thing but character consistency is [one of] the many things people are worried about with this spin off. and Character Derailment even to Trixie would easily be seen a poor start for the spinoff)

She could be a Lovable Alpha Bitch. Either way, because its an Alternate Universe things don't have to be the same as in Friendship is Magic (clearly they don't have to involve ponies).

Remember this is being done to appeal to a new demographic, not the one Hasbro already has.

I am interested in this. Lets see if Hasbro can create a good show without needing ponies to make it good.

Hasbro, yeah doubt it. All depends on who they have running it. It wasn't hasbro that made MLP so big, it was Lauren and the rest of the staff at DHX

Well, the 66-minute thing is at least known to also be by DHX & Top Draw.

Even if it is good, I still think that there is a chance that it would flop since MLP fans in the intended audience would not like it for not having ponies and non-MLP fans would probably not want to watch a cartoon about humanized ponies.

Every time a fairy says that it doesn't believe in humans, a human child dies.

I have a feeling Stevebat meant specifically a good My Little Pony show without needing ponies. tongue

Some argue that its not the ponies but the writing and fantastical elements of Friendship Is Magic that make it popular.

During Hasbro's investor meeting they said that their research told them that "girls want new ways" to experience & play with My Little Pony, and that's part of the reason for the new IP.

Apparently girls want to experience My Little Pony without the Pony.

TV Movie.

The problem with the first post not being very informative and only reporting on a magazine that may have out-of-date info... people are just confused when they come to the thread.

My policy is that when an announce of something is hard to confirm, assume that it is not happening. Until further notice.

Good.

But with the reveal that it will be about the ponies going to an alternate universe where they turn into humans is a bit unsettling to me.

I don't think the "ponies turning into humans" thing has been confirmed. The magazine article mentions the ponies will take on human form, but its kinda vague and again it seems to have out of date info in regards to release dates.

I highly doubt the girls will return to Pony Equestria at the end of the TV Movie if Hasbro wants this to be a continuing franchise. If they do the whole "they go through a portal and stay in the Human Equestria" thing, Season 4 will retcon it anyway with them back as ponies.

...Man, I hope they tease something after the season finale or sometime soon. Get an idea what's going on that isn't "I know a guy that told me this & that".

This needs to exist. Prefferably a fanfic. First chapter shows Spike pannicking as the capital city of Lot appears to be deserted, so he journeys to Ville where the Summer Sun Celebration was supposed to happen before realiseing that no is there either. Then he hangs out with the cattle, dokeys, zebras, wild animals etc.
