General
So breaking news, looks like we are finally getting out first look at what the next generation of MLP is going to be like.

And if you want my official opinion. I sorta like the look. I'll want to see it in motion before making the final call on it. But the CG look is nice. Not as good as Fausts designs but still interesting, the premise as well sounds like a fun one to (Feels like what if the Season 9 finale was not resolved and everypony did split up their own ways). There was some merch shown recently, not as convinced by that, I think the vector work needs improvements, but I remember G4 earlier vector work being pretty not great as well. And the staff involved seem to have a couple of familiar faces from G4 so, colour me interested, lets see how this turns out.
EDIT: So update, we got a bit more news and some footage in motion of the characters now (Though how long it lasts, wait and see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68JimIgOWuQ&feature=emb_logo) the press release says that the main series will also be all CG as well, a little disappointing after the 2D of the original show, though not a deal breaker, it's gonna come down to characters and story. I actually like the environments they have shown off as well.

Also like how fuzzy they all are. The eyes in the neutral position are a little incorrect, think they are a bit too small to be honest. And colour wise they are a little too close together. (At least the 3 they've shown so far). Still interested, waiting to see more.

I agree that it looks enticing from the still they shared. The show's premise is a little too close to "real life issues" but I'm seeing those ideas shared in a lot of the new media I've seen.

My brain is kinda exploding at the notion of magic being gone. Since I just REALLY like magic in just about any context. But if it's restored/released/etc by the end of the movie it should be interesting.
I just really hope in the absence of magic they haven't made it totally modern day. Ugh. That was part of the charm of MLP is the fact they had a comically odd range of tech that half the time was powered by magic anyway. Heh.
The writing though is what worries me... I read a blurb about how "the protagonist is an activist trying to make equestria a better place" and my eyes glazed over and all I could think was "oh no, here we go; not you too..."
