Movies and Nostalgia
I was reading a discussion today about the success of the Transformers franchise versus the relatively poor showing of Pacific Rim, and had one thought: Pacific Rim did not have the built-in audience of grown men who played with Transformers as little boys. As the Dancer admitted, she will be going see the live-action My Little Pony movie when it comes out twenty-five years from now. And I'm sure the Musician will be going with her.

LOL. Hey, why didn't they make a "Crissy Doll" movie? :(
J.S.
If someone in Hollywood thinks of it, they will make it. I mean, they made a freakin' Battleship movie.
Hungry Hippos.

You are not the first person to think of that. In the same thread, it was pointed out that they have already made a Rock'em Sock'em Robots as well (but it had Hugh Jackman so it was all good.) I'm sensing a theme here; all the movies coming out based on toys and games are violent movies mostly for guys.
Still, there are plenty of guys that like My Little Pony, so maybe that one will get greenlighted someday. There was also a computer game knock-off of MLP called "Fighting Is Magic." Maybe they'll make something based on that.
LOL.
