New Official MLP Content Launched


This tip comes to us from jenovaii. Apparently the official My Little Pony site maintained by Hasbro has launched some content since last month, including some goodies like the Luna coloring page above, as well as some episode summaries in video form and some other stuff.

Questionably interesting to anyone outside the target audience? That's up to you guys to decide. Personally, I like the coloring page. Too bad I don't have any crayons. Oh, wait, Photoshop!

brb, coloring.

So, they acknowledge Luna as an actual character now?? Le gasp!

Well, I will be spending the next hour trying to figure out how to use Paint.Net long enough to color this picture.

I didn't even realize the implications of that! It's true!

Well, they DID confirm she would return in Season 2.

Stargazer said...

Oh hell! http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_US/ click the third flower for an opening video. Rarity's voice is different! Is this the new opening for season two? Is there a new voice for Rarity? I'm scared!

By the way, I don't see anything there about a contest.

And soon Hasbro will release a Princess Luna toy.... colored pink.

(Yes, that is how much faith I have in Hasbro)

Is it just me, or does Applejack sound different as well?

@Stargazer

I'm blaming it on the fact the the site only plays the song in just one side of my headphones, and when I went to compare it with a Youtube clip, the music came out in stereo there.

So, yeah, hopefully just a bad audio set up from the Hasbro site.

Stargazer said...

Lesserpoet, yeah, AJ's voice was different-ish but it was still her at least. It's the same actress as Rainbow after all and Rainbow sounds exactly the same so...

Narwhals' Bend, I sure hope you're right. I'd just never seen it before. I'd hate for Rarity to have a different voice. Her's is pretty much my favorite.

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed that. Rainbow dash sounded the same, though. I wouldn't think that they'd get a new actress for Applejack, but not Rainbow Dash.

Could it be an old video, before the voice actresses were finalised?

@Stargazer

Eh, could possibly be an earlier version of the intro, before they had all the voices set.

This intro video is old. It's been there for a few months at least. I would not worry about a change in VAs.
It sounds to me as if in fact the VA we have now for Rarity is the new VA (For the signing part at least.)
As for Applejack, it's just that her line was shaky so they redid it. It's the same VA.

Kruger said...

I got Photoshop Elements 7... It works just as well.

Remember, Rarity has two VAs, one for speaking (Tabitha St. Germain) and one for singing (Kazumi Evans).

I went to Youtube and found this clip uploaded back in September, which has the "bad Rarity voice"

Compare to this one, which is what we get with the show
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmJvHILyeOo

Maybe the first one is a proto-intro before they hired Evans as Rarity's Singing VA? Maybe its Tabitha trying to sing?

I've been combining the coloring book pages into one PDF file.

lesserpoet said...

Cutie Mark Crusaders Voice Actress Detectives, GO!

seriously though, that is good (non) news.

Stargazer said...

Thank you anonymous poster. That proves that this is an old video and now I don't have to jump out my window.

It actually gets me excited that my second favorite ( only second to Fluttershy, but they're pretty close in general ) is getting a lot of positive attention.

Go Luna! :D

Just... Please don't botch her colors please on her toys lol.

Hey y'all! Check the store link! Those little $2 show-correct figures we were seeing in Big Lots and Canada are now listed for sale!

They're here!

That whole thing is a pre-release draft of the OP (totally different take, except for "an easy feat") from well BEFORE the pilot aired. (Don't panic! Odd to see it floating around in a badly-encoded Hasbro promo, however.)

Ashleigh hasn't QUITE got Applejack down, I think that might be Tara Strong singing Twilight, and... Oh my STARS: that simply CAN'T be you, Tabitha, can it? Seriously, that's so different it's probably just a placeholder from before Rarity's voice was really worked out.

As we all know, the final result was much better. That's what drafts are for, after all, there's no shame in it!

Aw hell no.

I actually ran into this last night, while browsing around MLP's FaceBook page (... for some reason. Probably has to do with the new ads floating around the FB games) But yes, it's good stuff.
