I know you've talked about the two major Hasbro properties with My Little Pony and Transformers, so gonna ask about the other Hasbro show they made.
What did you think of Littlest Pet Shop with both the 2012 show and A World Of Our Own with the 2012 show even sharing some staff from MLP Friendship is Magic with similar writers, voice actors, and songwriter? Considering it seemed Hasbro was trying to make it their third big franchise in animation in the 2010s with My Little Pony and Transformers, how'd the two Littlest Pet Shop shows fare?
From what I've seen, it was alright. Not especially ambitious, perhaps, but inoffensive. A fairly standard Saturday Morning cartoon that did it's job well
May as well throw my hat in the ring for How You Think Walt Would React To The Following Media:
- Littlest Pet Shop 2012
- The Fairly OddParents
- Kim Possible
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
LPS'12 - Nice, simple, but perhaps not all that interesting
FOP - He'd probably find it a heavily reimagined take on 'Cinderella'
KP - I don't know if Disney was ever one for Spy stories, but he might find the show interesting
TMNT - [87] he probably wouldn't be too interested. He'd likely find the franchise concept intriguing, but the cartoon, itself, he might've found it goofy, stupid, but safe, [NLC] ironically, he'd question why the film wasn't animated, but would likely like the more serious tone, compared to the cartoon, [2003] probably the closest to what he'd be looking for, in the given context, but likely still too dark for his tastes, [2012] maybe closer to what he might look for, but I'm not sure he'd be too big on the animation, or the humor, [Platinum Dunes] he'd most likely find it chaotic, messy, immature, and in need of a tighter story, [RotTMNT] he probably wouldn't like the animation, or the immature humor and tonal inconsistency, [MM] it would probably be too modern for him to follow, he'd feel too out of touch with it, and not understand the modern youth enough to do so
As we're approaching Apr 1st, what are your thoughts again on this EqD April Fools Post from 10 years ago with hindsight?
Bittersweet in hindsight, a goofier, but much more optimistic vision of where things could have gone. Apparently they're trying to carry on gen5 with a new villain, but it looks like 2025 may end up being the drop off point for many, maybe even gen5 as a whole.
I'd still like a revival, no matter how unlikely it would be
