I think we're all so used to Griffin's amazing Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon voices in FiW that we just forgot what they actually sounded like. I'm going to go listen to DT's original voice from Call of the Cutie again to make sure, but I'll bet they're the same.

5000 posts...

I don't think we'll get to 6000 before the season ends, and this thread is inevitably locked, but as actual wedding footage comes out... :gotcha:

Diamond Tiara sounds different to me too.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this one. I'LL DESTROY HER.

LOS ANGELES – The Hub TV network, a television network for kids and their families, will celebrate the wedding event of the year with a very special two-episode presentation of the animated hit series “My Little Pony Friendship is Magic,” Saturday, April 21 (1-2 p.m. ET) a series produced by Hasbro Studios. Two half-hour, back-to-back episodes will culminate with a spectacular wedding in the beloved series that has become a pop culture phenomenon, with a passionate and broad fan following.

As part of the celebration of the episode, TV actress/author, wedding aficionado -- and mom -- Tori Spelling (“Beverly Hills 90210,” “Tori & Dean: sTORIbook Weddings”) will be featured in The Hub’s interstitial programming in addition to hosting a celebrity “bridle” shower event.

“My Little Pony Friendship is Magic,” set in the magical land of Equestria, a kingdom populated by colorful ponies, follows the studious young unicorn Twilight Sparkle and her five pony friends as they teach one another about the most powerful magic of all, the magic of friendship! In the two-part episode “A Canterlot Wedding,” the kingdom is in a frenzy preparing for the wedding of Princess Celestia’s niece, Princess Cadance, to Twilight Sparkle’s brother, Shining Armor. However, Twilight Sparkle discovers a dark secret about the bride that could ruin her brother’s “happily ever after.”

To capitalize on the growing excitement that is swirling around what legions of “My Little Pony Friendship is Magic” fans are calling “the wedding of the year,” The Hub will launch a robust marketing and publicity effort to reach the audiences of all ages who are captivated by “My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.” The series, produced primarily for children, has become a sensation across generations.

The special wedding-themed programming event will be supported with both traditional and non-traditional off-channel media, designed to drive tune-in as well as viewer engagement with exclusive digital content available at an all-new mini-site, Hubword.com/royalwedding. Launching on April 2, the mini-site will feature six all-new, interactive, wedding-themed games based on each of the show’s beloved primary characters as well as a downloadable "viewing party pack" that includes printable party invitations, wedding hats, coloring pages and stickers.

Additionally, The Hub’s Facebook and Twitter (@HubTVNetwork) platforms will provide sneak peeks of the royal wedding episode and extend the viewing experience with additional activities to engage the series’ growing fan base.

I think we need a new spoiler thread just for the finale. With all they're doing, it's going to be silly to have all this buried in this one mega thread...

Or just accept that synopsis and preview clips are no more spoilers than info boxes on the back of DVD's and be done with it. When a company runs a month long marketing blitz, expecting a total blackout is unreasonable.

Boy does that sound shamelessly made up. Bronies say a lot of odd things, but calling the season finale "the wedding of the year" sounds more like something a marketing person would come up with. (And you can't get me to believe it means the young fans, either.)

That's because it is. It's a press release written in the hope that other media outlets will pick up on it and give Hasbro free publicity.

What exactly do they mean by half hour episodes, do you think?

Maybe no commercial interruption.

The whole point of having tv shows is that you watch the commercials, too.

You give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world. A world of ponies, that is.

(?) · by **Wayoshi** (?) » Tue Mar 27, 2012 2:30 am

I think it is possible there will be no "to be continued" nor even a cliffhanger to end 225, giving them about an extra 90 seconds.

Anyways, *moves to separate thread to discuss further*

(?) · by **Wylie** (?) » Tue Mar 27, 2012 2:56 am

Think logically here guys.

If they do some wonky "limited/no commercial interruption" thing, how are they going to handle it in reruns?

It's gotta be two 22-minute episodes.

Simple, no more commercial interruptions for ponies ever again. Just 30 minutes of pure pony. Older episodes will have cut scenes added back in to facilitate this new schedule. :vogue:

(?) · by **Wylie** (?) » Tue Mar 27, 2012 3:26 am

I went back and listened to "Call of the Cutie" again. Diamond Tiara's VA sounds pretty much the same, except that she was playing up the "stuck up snot" in CotC and seems to be more "I'm the boss" in this one. I think we all just replaced her canon voice with FiW's version in our heads, and hearing her actual voice again after so long was jarring.

(?) · by **Mr. Big** (?) » Tue Mar 27, 2012 3:30 am

Also, isn't Diamond Tiara voiced by an adult woman, as opposed to using child actors like the CMCs?

It's gotta be two 22-minute episodes.

Two eight-minute songs to pad things out. Twilight's solo, an ensemble doing a send-up of every unused Sondheim/Andrew Lloyd Webber/Gilbert and Sullivan tune, a rock opera where Rainbow Dash literally knocks the socks off of Minty with a wicked guitar solo, Scootaloo reunited with her lost parents during a rendition of "Send in the Clouds."

And they will excise them for reruns.

I have a lifelong consecutive streak of "not going to New York" that I would break in a heartbeat to see any one of those options performed on a Broadway stage.

Somebody posted a wikipedia episode list screenshot (of supposed season 3 episodes) and then apparently deleted it, but I went to go check the edit history of that page and this little vandalism made me laugh:

I've done some scripts, and I can vouch that most screenwriting software use that font as a default choice. It'd be hilarious of there are some using typewriters, though.

You can read Cindy Morrow's "Foster's Home" scripts on her website, which uses the font (no, there aren't any FIM scripts; the website hasn't updated in years)
