My Little Pony Movie coming our way

Hasbro has announced that they are developing an animated movie based on their successful My Little Pony franchise, planning a wide release for the film in 2017.

Introduced in 1983 and developed by Bonnie Zacherle, Charles Muenchinger and Steve D’Aguanno, the “My Little Pony” property has launched four animated series and been revamped over the years, enjoying strong sales in the 1980s and then again in 2010, with its popularity driven by well-received shows.
