Would a live action MLP film be an epic retelling of the conflict between the demigod Alicorn sisters Celestia and Luna and the events leading to the founding of Equestria?
Probably not. But it was fun to make anyway.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a bit of a cultural phenomena nowadays which is no mean feat for an animated kid's program. Before you ask I'm only a 'brony' if the term applies to males who enjoy the show for it's art, humor, and surprisingly detailed universe.
And it's that universe that maybe in no immediate reality could be adapted as a high fantasy film, but it certainly contains all the elements of classic in the making.
Two sisters found a valley kingdom after disposing of a mischievous monster named Discord and divide the guardianship of the day and night between each other. However Discord in his final moments before being turned to stone plants the seed of resentment in the younger sister, Luna, and she slowly but surely gathers her forces (Diamond Dogs, Griffons...etc) to begin a rebellion.
And at the end of the trailer you'll see a hint of maybe a character who becomes important to later events in the show ;)

It's a bit of a parody of epic fantasy trailers (given the text) but hopefully it's at least entertaining :)
