The art-style doesn't really work for humans.

I think it's just the interpretations presented, as I've seen plenty of FIM-style human fanart which looked pretty good.

Wait a minute.

Twilight Sparkle is the group leader in Equestria Girls.

That vampire chick is the leader in Monster High.

Twilight... Vampires...

Ace... that picture is going to give me nightmares.

The characters in Monster High look like those tacky "Zwinky" icons that nobody would use because they were hideous. And the EqG...They're nearing the level of Oscar from Shark Tale. Even if they don't move... they're going to fall right into the Uncanny Valley.

Oh, so now that they're humans it's unacceptable? Looks like you've all been exposed as horse-loving sexual deviants. Checkmate.

But really, even though I think this is a terrible idea, the execution could still be enjoyable. So I'll give the movie a fair shake before writing it off entirely.

I never really expected to religiously watch 3 seasons of a show about magical ponies [not since I was like 5, anyway] in the first place, so....

just wait and see i guess

A horrid realization.

Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users?

Cracked has it spot on :lol:
Which is why I'm not even going to watch it.

...other than that I have other things to see in theatres and it's not going to be a movie with a hideous artstyle.

Some of the backlash against Equestria Girls is, in my opinion, the periphery demographic forgetting that the show was initially made for young girls, and an attempt to appeal to them won't always include the periphery demographic.

Of course the audience of young children is much much less likely to speak up and complain.

I completely agree, if you're going to put something out in theaters, it needs to be something that isn't flash-animated.

The medium doesn't really matter. Like, I think The Powerpuff Girls Movie wasn't a bad idea.
