Patreon Celebration - April - DERPY

These months are moving so fast. Luckily we have a season date, so I don't mind at all. April means another patreon celebration post, and lots of you have sent in stuff for it! As always, we are still looking for more ideas for rewards, but for now the current ones seem to be working well. Feel free to recommend any!

And thanks a ton to everyone still contributing. I was pretty worried that it would dip, but it's still holding strong. You have no idea how much that helps.

ANYWAY, Celebrate below with some... DERP. Go get it all below!

Music: Daniel Ingram - Legend You Were Meant To Be (Francis Vace Cover) [Rock]

One of the tracks off of Francis Vace's recent Everfree EP, Legend You Were Meant To Be is covered here pretty well! Giving it a bit of a rock-y vibe that focuses a lot on Francis' vocals, there's also some great reggae stabs and guitar solo towards the end of the track in that classic Vace style to help differentiate it a bit more. Give it a listen below the break to rock out with EqG!

BronyCon Announces Maddy Peters (Scootaloo)

Another one for Bronycon! With awesome art to go along with it. Below the break, get the press release!

Nightly Discussion #1039

Hmm, I've never seen Scoots with a gap in her teeth before! It's not very common to see ponies with that feature I think.

Evening guys, chat time?

Super High Resolution Version of the 2017 My Little Pony Movie Poster

I thought we posted this already, but I guess not! We have a GIGANTIC version of the My Little Pony movie poster here, at a whopping 3750x5700 resolution. At that size, you could pretty much cover a wall with it if you could print it big enough. Click the image above to snag it.

Along with that, we have a mini presser covering primarily what we know already:

‘My Little Pony: The Movie’ is coming to theaters October 7^th and will feature an all-star cast with Emily Blunt, Kristin Chenoweth, Liev Schreiber, Michael Peña, Sia, Taye Diggs, Uzo Aduba and Zoe Saldana, including an original song performed by Sia.

A new dark force threatens Ponyville, and the Mane 6 (Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity) embark on an unforgettable journey beyond Equestria where they meet new friends and exciting challenges on a quest to use the magic of friendship and save their home.

I think that is the first time we've seen the "Friendship Comes in Many Colors" tagline too?

EileMonty's Awesome Acoustic Rendition of WONDERBOLT

An acoustic take on the old Wonderbolt song from dBPony with the excellent vocals of EileMonty to make it even cooler! It's always fun to see stuff from her in the box. Head on down below the break to check it out!

Art Director for MLP Movie Explains Some Problems With Teaser

As I was reading the comments on the new movie trailer some of you were saying things were a little bit off with the animation they presented. Well, apparently you are not alone as the Art Director for not only the movie but season 5, Rebecca Dart, says things are a bit weird but that you guys should have hope.

Check on after the break for her comments!

My Little Pony: The Movie Trailer Released!

Lionsgate and Allspark have finally put out their first trailer for My Little Pony: The Movie, and, uh, wow. ToonBoom ponies are something else, man (and I'm never getting all that glitter cleared off the inside of my computer screen)!

Head below the break for a taste of the new 2017 Poni models, coming to a show floor near you.

Music: Let's Eat Hay! - Once Upon A Time [House]

Here's something a little different! New artist Let's Eat Hay! debuts with a groovy house track that has a strong focus on the story of Celestia and Luna as shown in the first couple of episodes of the show. There's very strong and constant integration of show vocals and some other cool things, as well as some pretty neat PMV-style vector stuff throughout the track. Give it a listen for a pretty awesome house-y track!

Seapony 2017 Merch Appears on eBay

It looks like those chinese factories pumping out pony brushables aren't taking a break for the movie merchandise on leaks. These guys popped up on eBay the other day as a complete set. If you haven't seen them before, they were some of the items on display at Toy Fair this year. Usually when toys leak to eBay, it means they will begin their invasion of stores around the world soon, but I wonder if they are simply stocking up before a big release later in the year in this case? It would seem weird to have these so early, especially considering the first trailer hasn't even aired yet.

Anyway, we will keep you posted. Expect to see a lot of these throughout the year leading up to the movie.

Morning Discussion #817

Oh don't be a sourpuss, AJ. He grows on you after awhile! Just roll with it... Though you might want to watch out, I think all those things I described things he can prank you with somehow.

Morning guys, ready for a new day?
