I do love the fact that people were convinced this was an elaborate hoax. While I'd be the first to say "Yes, it's just a fan remake", the production value of this is far greater than any fanmade video I've seen yet. You can tell they had some pros cutting this together.

I also agree that this is absolutely amazing that Hasbro/The Hub is really listening to and acknowledging their fans. They're not ignoring them, or just trying to shill the same crap on us. It seems as though they've realized that listening to the people who watch your show actually matters.

Making a song like this is almost a risk, as most stuffed shirts would have scoffed at the idea, claiming that "this show isn't about 18-30 year old boys, it's for mindless little girls. Now make it cuter, and more product worthy". However, they tried that in the 80's, and it failed miserably.

If you make something that you can somewhat control, or at least have input on, you will feel more connected to said thing, and be more willing to purchase items associated with it. In actuality, this is a fan-freaking-tastic marketing scheme.
