My Little Pony: The Movie is an upcoming 2017 Canadian–American animated musical fantasy film based on the television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic developed by Lauren Faust, as well as Hasbro's My Little Pony toy line created by Bonnie Zacherle. It is directed by Jayson Thiessen and written by Meghan McCarthy, both of whom worked on the show. The regular television cast – Tara Strong, Ashleigh Ball, Andrea Libman, Tabitha St. Germain, and Cathy Weseluck – will reprise their roles from the series alongside guest performances by Kristin Chenoweth, Emily Blunt, Michael Peña, Uzo Aduba, Liev Schreiber, Taye Diggs, Sia Furler, and Zoe Saldana.
The film is produced and financed by Hasbro Studios' film label Allspark Pictures, and animated through DHX Media/Vancouver. It is currently scheduled for a theatrical release on October 6, 2017 in the United States through Lionsgate.
In order to stop a threat to the town of Ponyville, the "Mane Six" – Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity – must leave Equestria, meeting new friends and overcoming challenges in the process.
