Talk:My Little Pony The Movie/@comment-182470-20170924014928

Okay, guys, I came across something that's both interesting yet disappointing at the same time. A media outlet called Social News XYZ has released a cast and crew interview video and a B-roll, featuring the same interviews with the entire main cast and the director shown in the "Behind the Scenes" featurette, as well as the celebrities in the recording both, offering some insight behind the celebrity casting, the actors' thoughts on their roles, and their favorite themes of the movie. It covers some familiar material (such as a few actors going in so their kids can see), but also has some new bits too, like Emily Blunt's initial expectations for her character.

However, here's where the disappointment comes in.

While the interviews do have some good stuff, there are moments in the interview video where it totally freezes or blacks out while the actor is in the middle of talking, and it lasts up to five minutes at a time. What's more is that, when it finally plays again, it completely skips over to the next cast/crew member in line. As for the B-roll? If you're looking forward to actually hearing a good chunk of dialogue from the new characters in advance, too freaking bad, because all of the audio was replaced with ambient music from start to finish instead! Yes, you can kind of get the picture through their body movement, but that's only a part of the picture. What's more, none of the other, similar videos for other movies and TV shows on this channel suffer this problem as far as I could find.

I don't know what caused these issues, and this has not affected my excitement for the movie itself in any way, but it's just so disheartening to see yet another chance at seeing something insightful and informative get downgraded like this. I can't even fathom how anyone thought this was fit to release. I'm hoping with all my heart that we get a more complete version of these currently lacking videos, maybe as extra features in the home release.

Check them out and see if it's different for any of you. If so, please tell me:
