>>36848038>charactersI'm lukewarm on some of them, and absolutely hate others, so it's a brabbag.
>story premiseI think it's an interesting premise and it leads to some questions like
>"why are there still unicorns when magic doesn't work?">"how did learn to adapt and live without it?">"how did they come to terms with losing something that was so integral and important to their world?"but it basically confirms that Twilight failed in her duties as a princess, which cuts incredibly deep and something I don't think I could ever forgive anyone for. Pic related.
>people we've seen revealedImalou's the only person I like. Everyone else, from that dude who wore the G1 shirt and the fucking stupid ears to appeal to "fans" and say "I'm a brony just like you guys :)" to Emily Thompson to the art director to this other person who designed Pipp and Zipp (although Pipp's design isn't too bad), just leaves a very unsettling feeling.
>new worldComplete agreement. This is not the Equestria I know and love. It's just a bastardization of it, basically Earth with ponies and some "Equestria elements" sprinkled on top of it to fool the idiots.
>3dcg animationI think that the 3d looks gorgeous. The models themselves for the ponies could have been a bit better, but it's nowhere near what it could have been, I feel we lucked out in that department. However, the actual movements itself is, like Greg from FiMFlamPhilosophy said, reminscent of Dreamworks-type animation, which is kind of off-putting and makes me apprehensive. It gives me Bee Movie and Despicable Me vibes, which is not okay at all.
