Whatever happened to this abomination?
It's listed as a red link in the animation studio's Wikipedia article despite being slated for 2016.

>>29105368
Thank god it never happened.

I like to think that the whole thing was just a threat to Hasbro and they took their payoff to quit the field.

>>29105368
Yeah, as far as I know, they dropped it, scrapped, its never going to air.
They even started to remove mentions of it from their official sites, deleting trailers and previews, stuff like that.

>>29105402
Honestly, I wouldnt be surprised if Hasbro had something to do with it. Bribery? Threats of lawsuits? I wouldnt put tactics like that above them.

It really makes me sad, I was having a great hope in this.

I won't go quietly into that good night. No matter how much Trixie and bat porn it takes, I'll take EQD under my own control after it dies and return it to life.

I'm autism incarnate.

I really hope they somehow pull through and complete the project, even if it's been and will be years and years.

The current MLP is getting poopy anyway.

I don't get what you mean. It is literally the exact same as equestriadaily.

I redrew a picture from around when the filly threads first started three years ago, took forever to find it but ended up finding the booru after going through archives. To think it's even been that long is crazy.

filly.booru.org for those who want a nostalgia trip.

Round two. I fucked up saving the file last night before sleeping though so I wasn't able to edit it again and make it all fancy.

I honestly want to see it happen, a lot of effort went into it already. I'd feel kind of sad for the animators, voice actors and everyone else if it never airs.

Oh hey that's my website.


Anyway, the short version of what the fuck happened to Filly Funtasia is this: (this is not completely proven, but theorized to be the most likely scenario by the diehard Filly fans)

1. Show announced for release in early 2014.
2. During the winter between 2013 and 2014, Filly IP owner Dracco splits with Simba, the toy producer for Filly. Simba is the one who broke off the licensing deal. Dracco sues them for it in a Hong Kong court and loses. Series is delayed while the toy situation is sorted out. Meanwhile, Simba signs a deal with Hasbro to produce Transformers toys for them, even though Hasbro had preciously sued Simba twice in the Netherlands. Hmm....
3. After failing with yet another deal with another toy manufacturer (though this one was amicably terminated with no lawsuits), Dracco starts producing the toys themselves.
4. While they're successful in doing this, they are not successful in reestablishing their toy distribution network in the Iberian region. (along with several other regions like Scandinavia and UK) Part of the deal between Dracco and the animation company BRB was that BRB would get toy profits from Iberia. Production is stalled (or slowed down significantly) again until Dracco can get back into the Iberian market. Meanwhile, the Filly toys are apparently selling well in Russia/Ukraine/Poland.
5. In the summer of 2016, BRB gets tired of waiting and breaks off the agreement, deleting everything Filly Funtasia-related from their websites and pretending it never existed. Dracco apparently retains the rights for all the Filly Funtasia material BRB has produced (since they're still using it for random things) and seemingly intends to resume production, presumably with another animation studio.

If anyone cares, feel free to ask me anything about my shitty website or this franchise I have a weird obsession with.

>>29114172
interesting to see a horsenew reporter around these parts, but then again seth used to come around here even before pone
anyway, how it's the situation of Filly in Iberia? i know i just read he needs to get the iberian market back, but what was the main factor to lose it? i mean, if it's sell well in the middle east, i don't see anything wrong with taking over the spanish guys

>>29114172
So there is still hope for the show?
If so then I am quite relieved.

>>29114304
I used to come here daily from /mlp/'s opening day until a couple years ago. I've lost a lot of my passion for FiM, but I still lurk here from time to time.

Well, it seems that Simba was taking care of Filly's European distribution networks, because in early 2014, right after the Simba-Dracco licensing deal broke off, deliveries of Filly toys stopped coming to several regions, and some of them (we know about Iberia, Scandinavia and the UK, but there are probably more) still don't have any Filly merch. The few Filly toys we still can find in toy stores in these regions are almost entirely several year old toys from the pre-2014 Filly toylines. Now, why couldn't Dracco find some deal with the Spanish and Portuguese toy chains to get them to resume stocking Filly toys? Unfortunately, I don't know that. The world of licensing is complicated, and the information we have is very fragmentary. To make things even weirder, Dracco actually bought an online UK-based toy retailer, but they don't even use it to sell their own toys for some reason.

>>29114428
There is, though the timeframe for when it could be released is more uncertain than ever. I'm guessing they're probably looking for a new animation studio to finish the show (if they intend to offer toy sale bucks in the studio's region as a form of payment yet again, a Russian studio would be ideal, as Filly reportedly sells quite well there), but they could possibly also be relying on Black Dragon, the Chinese company where they outsourced a lot of the 3D Modeling/Rigging/etc, to complete the show.

Well, this is speculation. What we know for a fact is that Dracco has stated that Filly Funtasia is still under production, and Dracco is still using Filly Funtasia assets for promotional purposes, while BRB are frantically trying to scrub the internet clean of all evidence that they were ever producing Filly Funtasia.

To speculate again, it might be because they've now lost all rights to using the Filly IP.

>>29114531
thanks for answering
i think, since the toys are making good money in the middle east, they should stay there.
maybe expand to germany, sweden, or finland
there is market to anyone who wants to sell stuff

>>29114675
Well, they are already present in Germany. That's where Filly used to be most popular. (they might be more popular in Russia nowadays though)

Bonus bump. Live on. I'm sick of seeing greentext, even a hippo-looking horse is welcome.

so, wha's the story of the show? i don't mean the fuck ups in deals and the delaying of it, i mean the lore

>>29119596
The pretty pink unicorn princess is trying to file for divorce with the green and black Donut Steel OC after she found out his real name is Robert Claymore and he is on the run from the Feds after being accused of first degree murder and high treason. The show covers the story on her abusive relationship with him and what really happened to JFK's assassin.

>There is, though the timeframe for when it could be released is more uncertain than ever.

I'm surprised they haven't considered Studio SEK, in North Korea. It seems they have started making 3D animations a while ago (I remember seeing a demo reel from a Dutch company showcasing SEK's productions and they seem to have vastly improved compared to abominations like Simba the Lion King), plus they seem to be dirty cheap.

Such as?

>>29119596

Girl moves to a new home with her neglecting parents, finds a magic mirror while exploring the attic, which pulls her into a magical world and transforms her into a pink pony princess.
Gay Bat was a regular bat living in the attic who's pulled in alongside her and given sentience. Show's primary story is about the girl who wants to stay in the magic world and the bat who wants to go back, however neither of them are adamant and their goals fluctuate.
