ERMAGERD, FILLERS! There's a new promo video out, I'm not sure why it takes them so long to shit this series out, it's not exactly a high budget thing, it's supposed to come out in 2016 sometime.

I'm ashamed to admit I like the song in this..



Hey, at least it will start out terrible. Or maybe it will good, and be a gripping tale of... ok no it won't.

Ok, this is the first I've read of this thread, and the first I've seen of this series. Now, I know a lot of people have been ringing the 'cheap bootleg/knockoff' alarm, but I don't feel that way about it. Thing is though, I don't quite know how to feel. When I watch the trailers, I can't seem to see what tone it's going for. It almost feels like a really well-made parody of MLP, calling out tropes about magic and sparkles, etc, but it obviously isn't. So that makes it...what? A very sincere Dreamworks-style-y show for kids? I suppose. Perhaps I'm just so used to shows being a constant stream of self-referential humour and sarcasm that my perspective's jaded, but I just don't think I've ever seen a show of this kind take itself this seriously.
 
Also, yes, I agree that they are beak horses. Although, so are these:

I think it's a total knockoff, but it's cute and I'll salvage some enjoyment from it. And no damn humans on the other side of that totally-not-ripped-off mirror!

Just to give a little background, Filly is a MLP ripoff that is more popular in Europe made by Dracco. http://www.dracco.com/us/company/
They have plush versions, and even have "blind bags", and in Germany, Mcdonalds would have them in happy meals.

"Funtasia" is the new 3D animated series. And just to help set realistic expectations about the quality of the show, get a load of this:
