Map of Equestria Updated for the Movie - This World is Huge!

(Update: The map has been updated again!)

Guess what was buried in some of the files on the official site? A brand new map of Equestria!

Looks like to account for the new places we'll be exploring in the MLP Movie the official map of Equestria has been expanded quite a bit to include those locations! It sure looks so much bigger than it used to be, doesn't it guys? I wonder just how much bigger the pony world can get!

Thanks to Gian for sending it in. Click above for full!

Map has been further updated with names and such. Get it at the link below!

Hasbro Investor Webcast Contains Tons of Info - Equestria Girls SERIES, Growth of Pony and More

Lots of interesting tidbits in a Hasbro Investor Webcast that was released today! Everything from Equestria Girls to a bunch of cool information on the growth of the series. Apparently there are plans to have Equestria Girls expand to a series that will be found on Youtube, so for those of you wondering what the future the series may hold you finally have a bit of an answer!

Furthermore, Hasbro has a handy chart showing the growth of MLP, before the show, after the show and what they predict after the movie. Things are looking good for the series!

I haven't listened to the webcast myself and only gone through the slides, but check on after the break for the graph I talked about as well as a link to where you can listen to the webcast.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Didn't get a good look at the center picture in the header above but it appears to have some characters and a location I don't recognize? Something from season 8?

Kathie Lee and Hoda Get Ponified on the Today Show

Remember awhile back when Matt Lauer, Al Roker, and Savannah Guthrie were ponified on the Today Show by "their friends at MLP:FiM"? Well those friends are back at it again with Kathie Lee and Hoda as they get a taste of what it is like to be ponies. Sounds like they are going around ponifying people to celebrate the return of new episodes according to Kathie and Hoda so maybe we'll see more like this from other shows?

Official My Little Pony Website Receives a Massive Makeover!

Last time I remember seeing the MLP Movie website it was kind of sparse but it looks like it has received quite a makeover as the movie quickly approaches! A lot of the site (if not everything) is stuff we've seen before but it's now in one nice package for people seeking information on the movie. It's pretty slick!

Poll Results: How Deep into Pony Oblivion Are You? (AKA Clop Poll)

Welp... that happened. It's OK though! Spotlight totally isn't judging you. She isn't looking deep into the souls of 46% of this websites audience and wondering where it all went wrong. She's not at all looking back at older polls and seeing how many have swapped into the deepest point of pony oblivion while questioning what process lead us here.  She's not super relieved that that side of the fandom has largely left her alone, even if they are frequently exposed to her face all over the place. Nope! Everything is fine.

Seriously though, in an artistic and animation driven fandom like ours, we are always going to attract some oddities. I hear even at Disney the artists draw lewd stuff and slap it on the walls as a joke. Stuff involving Mickey and Mini that would make even the most hardened of Deviant Art users blush. Art is weird man.

ANYWAY, lets send some people to Equestria. Seems like a lot of you would be right at home there.  New poll time:

Would you become a pony or stay human if sent to Equestria?

Newbie Artist Training Grounds VII: Day 6

Facing the unknown can be quite a challenge. It's often frightening having to deal with that bit of uncertainty, but it is also the unknown that drives people forward, to explore, and to discover. It's a part of the human spirit that defines us and keeps us pressing ever forward (despite the occasional mistakes we make). Tonight you guys sent your ponies into the unknown and for your efforts we received another 189 ponies to add to the pile bringing us up to 1068 ponies altogether, breaking the 1000 pic mark! Woo!

Now that you've faced the unknown are you guys ready to take a step further and face true danger? It's time to throw your ponies into the thick of it as today's prompt is to Draw a pony in mortal peril / Draw a pony steeling themselves.

Hope you all have fun with this one guys! You can find our uploader here.

Remember, our compiler is up a few hours even after this post goes up so feel free to submit your submission even though this post is up!

Check on after the break for our full gallery!

Morning Discussion #935

Man, it felt like so long ago when Twilight was first setting out to learn about friendship didn't it? I still remember watching the show for the first time back in 2011 one cold February and falling in love with it. It feels like ages ago at this point, like some other life.

Anyhow, morning guys! Hey, I'm not late this time! Time to celebrate~
