Talk:My Little Pony: The Movie (1986 film)

My next GA in progress?

I never really thought the page has come this far after almost nine months, thanks mostly to The 80s chick (talk · contribs · count), who contributed to the plot section and was responsible for the maintenance duties. Now all it needs are an extended intro of 3 paragraphs, four screenshots from the film, and details on its critical and financial reception. --Slgr@ndson (page - messages - contribs) 22:40, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

My pleasure. I can get on the first two requirements, but the criticial/financial reception might need a little digging up. Annie D 02:29, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

After months and months, I've finally gotten time to start doing that. Now if I can get up to grade before we leap... --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 05:52, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Notice

There is an individual or individuals who are constantly editing the article to add text that is not suitable. Although some of the additions could have merit (besides the childish spelling), this is an encyclopedia and the content of articles should written accordingly.

On TV in the U.S.

I don't know if there is a Wikipedia rule about TV broadcast of theatrical film, but if you are going to add Discovery Family's airing in 2015, at least don't say it's the first in the U.S. domestic television unless/until it is proven because some channels may have aired the film before Discovery Family. (I used Disney Channel as a 'probably' example in edit summary because they aired 80s' MLP show in early 90s, but I can't actually prove it either.)

Actually, IMDB is claiming a TV broadcast 2 years before theatrical release: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1219699/ (Note air date of April 14, 1984.) 16:00, 1 April 2016

That IMDB entry is about the Rescue at Midnight Castle, which was indeed 1984, not this film. Gial Ackbar (talk) 08:46, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

My Little Pony: The Movie → My Little Pony: The Movie (1986 film) – due to My Little Pony: The Movie (2017 film) Hyliad (talk) 16:14, 5 July 2017 (UTC) Hyliad (talk) 16:20, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

I believe that with the upcoming release of the 2017 My Little Pony: The Movie, this page should be renamed "My Little Pony: The Movie (1986 film)", while "My Little Pony: The Movie" should become a disambiguation page leading to both films. Feel free to debate about it, as suggested in the template above. --Hyliad (talk) 16:14, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

I would recomend waiting with that until the film is actually released. Once it is, it would be as important as this film, but for now, a film that has already been release should have the main article title. Gial Ackbar (talk) 18:15, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

That is a fair point, but with the current popularity of the Friendship is Magic TV series, and with the upcoming film being a direct adaptation with veterans of the series on both writing and directing and the same cast, it is already much awaited. If most people support you idea I'd say go with it, but I believe it would be delaying the inevitable, not to mention that a lot of people will probably end up on this page while searching for the film before its release. Hyliad (talk) 21:28, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

As general consesus below seems to be to support the move, I am fine with that. My persoan perferance would be to wait, but if the majority wants to move it now, that's ok for me. Gial Ackbar (talk) 09:15, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

• Support Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) In ictu oculi (talk) 19:24, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
• Support because this movie will end up getting popular. 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:F172:844C:1F4B:E7EC (talk) 21:08, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
• Support per nomination and In ictu oculi. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 04:21, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
• Support, and trout whichever film suit decided there could be two "The Movie"s. Nohomersryan (talk) 04:47, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
• Support it's clearer for people who are unfamiliar about My Little Pony to distinguish between the two movie. -- Eflyjason (talk) 05:50, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
• Support, because the upcoming movie is more popular than that old one because of Friendship Is Magic. -- Pure conSouls (talk) 20:05, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
• Support move for disambiguation. Just because the 2017 film is not yet released does not mean the 1986 film is still the primary topic.  ONR  (talk)  23:42, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
