Your favourite ponies are trotting out of Equestria and into the real world in a brand-new live-action My Little Pony movie! That’s right, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and all their pony pals could be coming to life like you’ve never seen before, with real places, real people, and real magic. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering the magic of friendship, this new movie from Amazon MGM and Hasbro is gearing up to be the most exciting pony adventure ever!
Amazon MGM Studios has officially teamed up with Hasbro Entertainment to develop the first-ever live-action My Little Pony feature film. This marks a major milestone for the iconic franchise, transforming it from its long-standing animated roots into a hybrid cinematic experience.
The My Little Pony brand debuted in 1982 and has sustained its charm across multiple generations, ranging from G1’s classic toy line in the early ’80s to the globally adored Friendship Is Magic from 2010–2019 as well as the recent Netflix‑released A New Generation in 2021 and Make Your Mark series. While the franchise has thrived in animation, this live-action adaptation marks a first in its 40+ year history.
The details remain on the production remain few and far between. Variety has reported that the project is in early development with no confirmed director, cast, or release date. Industry sources suggest it may follow a live-action/CGI hybrid format, much like the recent Sonic or Paddington films. Neither Hasbro nor Amazon MGM have released a formal statement yet.
This film aligns with Hasbro’s strategy of adapting its toy-based IP into big-screen franchises. After the success of Transformers, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and an upcoming Magic: The Gathering movie, the live-action My Little Pony fits neatly into a broader portfolio push.
Reactions across fan forums and social media range widely, from excitement about nostalgia to playful skepticism over how realistic CGI ponies will blend with live environments. With a dedicated fanbase of children and adults (notably “bronies”), expectations for a vibrant and faithful adaptation are high.
With no creative team yet announced, the real work lies ahead. Fans eagerly await updates on casting, storyline direction, and visual style. Industry analysts anticipate more official details, including plot outline and production timelines in the coming months.
Amazon MGM and Hasbro are boldly reinventing My Little Pony for a live-action setting which is no easy feat for a franchise anchored around colourful talking ponies. Though much remains undisclosed, this project carries significant weight for the industry and fans alike, promising to push the boundaries of family entertainment.
