Production
Development
In February 2019, it was reported that Hasbro was developing a computer-animated My Little Pony feature film. Reports later said that the film would mark the beginning of the franchise's fifth-generation, which was confirmed on September 17, 2020; My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic creator Lauren Faust first hinted that Hasbro was working on the fifth incarnation in 2018, when she denied any involvement on the franchise's next incarnation, while Tara Strong, voice actress for Twilight Sparkle, said that she wouldn't reprise her role in the fifth incarnation in April 2020 (due to reprising her role in My Little Pony: Pony Life). On October 8, 2020, it was reported that the fifth incarnation, including the film, will center on a new set of characters, though with the possibility of characters from the previous incarnation appearing.
On January 29, 2021, Emily Thompson, Entertainment One's VP of global brand management, revealed that the film will be set in the same world as the fourth incarnation of the franchise, while still serving as the first entry in the fifth incarnation, being set years after the events depicted in the previous incarnation. Thompson explained that her decision was made because the producers felt it would have "felt wrong" to not to further explore the lore and worldbuilding established by the fourth incarnation.
On February 12, 2021, it was reported that the founder of Boulder Media, Robert Cullen, along with Jose Ucha will serve as directors, with Mark Fattibene set to co-direct the film. Cecil Kramer and Peter Lewis were also announced as producers for the film.
Animation
The film's animation services will be provided by Hasbro-owned Irish animation studio Boulder Media. Unlike previous My Little Pony media, the film will be animated entirely through computer-animation.
Release
My Little Pony: A New Generation is set to be released on September 24, 2021, by Netflix. The film was originally slated to be released theatrically on the same day by Paramount Pictures. However, eOne sold the distribution rights to Netflix by February 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, while retaining them in China.
Followups
Following the cancellation of the film's theatrical release, Hasbro and Netflix later announced that a computer-animated streaming television series as well as a 44-minute special would also release on the streaming service, following the film. The series will center on the adventures of Sunny Starscout and her friends after the events depicted in the film. Made-for-YouTube original content will also release in 2022 and 2023.
