Hasbro Releases 11 Movie Songs Onto Youtube!

A lot of buzz about the soundtrack for the movie this week and now we have even more news for you all! It looks like the official Hasbro Youtube channel has released 11 tracks from the film for your listening pleasure!

Check them all out after the break and thanks to everyone who sent it in!

Musical Scenes from the MLP Movie Revealed in German Voice Actor Spotlight

The German version of the My Little Pony Movie voice actor spotlight from a few days ago apparently went a bit further than ours by adopting a few scenes from the musical sections of the movie. Considering the soundtrack just released, it's pretty neat to see the songs themselves animated, at least for a few seconds each.

Go get it below!

Sunset Day Crafts, Customs, and Plushies

Like most of our ponies Sunset sure has her fair share of amazing crafts, plushies and customs! Got to admit, the plushies are some of my favorite as I really think Sunset's color scheme works so well in that form!

Anyhow my friends, time for some great Sunset creations!

SFM: Pony Dance Club 3 / Не меняй меня

Time for DANCE. The Russian Everfree Team has released another part in their "Pony Dance Club" series as part of their 10,000 sub celebration. A few pony legs are bending in somewhat scary ways, but it's pretty energetic anyway.

And following that, another Russian song gets a pony music video. Get both below!

Sunset Day Cosplays!

Cosplaying for Sunset must be decently easy! She is a human most of the time and does already have many canon outfits yet she's still a character that's fun to play around with and design your own costumes for.

Anyhow, get the rest of these awesome cosplays of Sunset after the break!

EQD Exclusive - Three More #FriendshipFriday Posters for the MLP Movie!

The team over at Lions Gate has fired off a set of posters for us to post up here on EQD as an exclusive for their #FriendshipFridays weekly countdown until the movie drops on the 6th of October!

If you missed the last few Fridays, you can download all of those posters over here. They have followed wildly different styles for each event. Ours look to be taking a more classic Hollywood Movie premiere style. We got Twilight, Applejack, and Capper as ours. There are three more out there that I will add to this post once we figure out who is dropping them.

Head on down below the break for our other two!

Music: bank pain, Progressive Element & Tripon - Ghost In The Dream [Neurofunk]

bank pain, Progressive Element and Tripon are three of the best producers in the fandom when it comes to neuro-filled drum & bass, and so all three of them combining together is something pretty awesome to see! With a complex backstory based on the Tantabus, this track is heavy and hard in all the right ways, and as a bonus it comes with some incredibly well animated artwork as well. This piece is the first pre-order exclusive from Cider Party for Ponies At Dawn's new Anthology album, which is premiering live on PonyvilleFM at 7:30PM UTC/3:30PM EDT September 29th. You can check out the new album here, or grab the track below the break!

Two New Equestria Girls Books - Rainbow Brings the Blitz and Twilight's Science Fair Sparks

Another character centric series looks to be in the works from the Equestria Girls line of books for 2018. We have one for Twilight, and one for Rainbow Dash so far.

Unfortunately neither have covers or descriptions yet, but you can get the information down below regardless. Go get them if you are curious.

Sunset Day Discussion - Her Future, What You Like or Dislike, and More!

Sunset has changed a lot since her very first Equestria Girls appearance. Back in the day I would have never imagined she would gather the number of fans she has years later or to be honest that Equestria Girls would have as many fans as it does now. Through cautious care of her redemption arc she has shown herself to be quite the wonderful pony/human that many now love!

So with that in mind what would you all like to see from Sunset in the future? We did see her temporarily return to Equestria and I'm certain a lot of you would like to see more of that. Should it be in the show proper (give us your episode suggestions in the comments) or in a future Equestria Girls installment?

What made you like Sunset Shimmer in the first place or what brought you to like her as time went on? On the flip side, for those that don't care for her, why is that so?

Get to discussing our favorite bacon pony in the comments!

Morning Discussion #985

Sunset might not be a pony most of the time, but I think she deserves to sit in the Cute Ponies Box, don't you think?

Morning everyone! Sleep well? Ready for Friday?

Sunset Shimmer Day Set to Shimmer!

It's that time everyone! While we may be saying good bye to summer here in the north we still have a reason to celebrate. Today is Sunset Shimmer Day and that means a day with one of our favorite ponies/humans!

Mixed in with our normal news today will be a number of Sunset dedicated posts so make sure to watch out for those! From comics, plushies, artwork and more there is a little bit of something for everyone.

It still isn't too late to submit though, so send your Sunset stuff to [email protected] with Sunset Day in the subject line followed by what you're sending in.

Example: Sunset Day - Comics

Remember, the later you send it in the harder it will be to fit it into a post!

Now enjoy everyone! We hope you like what we have planned for you all today.
