Well, this is interesting indeed. As mentioned on Equestria Daily, three new shorts have popped up over in China. They're currently only available in Chinese, so I haven't seen anything of them beyond the screenshots on EqD, but I believe it's the first time we'll have had shorts that aren't Equestria Girls and feature ponies, ponies and more ponies.
Edit: actually not. As OilyValves points out in the comments, there were the Hot Minute shorts back in 2013. Published by Hot Topic rather than by Hasbro directly, but they count, I think.
I'm not going to spoil anything (not that I know much anyway!) but apparently these will be written by a mixture of newcomers and existing show writers. I shall wait and see with interest!
MLP seems to be taking a page out of Steven Universe's book, all of a sudden. <.<
ReplyDeleteThis may or may not be a good thing.
DeleteWe had the ‘Hot Minute’ shorts in the hiatus before season 4:

The Twilight one caused a stir because it had footage from the (then unknown) first EQG. Also the AJ one for sinking everyone’s hat head-canons at the time.
These new ones are intriguing anyway!
Ah, good point – I'd forgotten about those things that Hot Topic published. I'll edit the post. Cheers. :)
