What do you think? Do you like the My Little Pony series? Does anyone in your home enjoy the Equestria Girls specials?
I feel cheated on season 7 of my little pony friendship is magic where is the rest of the season? I also think equestria girls is a waste of time. Please keep my little pony friendship is magic keep going. It’s nice to see an innocent cartoon these days.
When will season seven be released to Netflix
I love them all, I would love another equestria girls movie!
Why is there no equestrian girls movies but three episodes?
I LOVE My Little Pony, and if it were to be canceled, I’d beg to Hasbro and Lauren Faust! WOOHOO! MY LITTLE PONY SEASON 7 CONFIRMED YEEEEEAAAAH!
its cancelled now (crying)
will season 7 be the final season or season 8 please I’m not caught up yet there is so much to this series i need to know about
It depends on how well season seven does but season eight has not been confirmed.
Actualy it all depends on toys.
Hasbro is a company that sells toys. As long as MLP toys sell, they’ll keep on making new episodes to this show which gives them advertising as well as making their toys appealing for kids who will want to make their own adventures with their favorite TV show characters.
Toys stop selling well -> Hasbro wont make enough profit on the series -> end of MLP TV Show.
that good, i wounder what 3 specials of equestria girls going to be about? hopefully one is about a holiday and one about halloween gone wrong.
