LOS ANGELES, Nov. 19 (UPI) — My Little Pony the Movie is slated for release in 2017.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic writer and producer Meghan McCarthy penned the script, with series director Jayson Thiessen to helm the film. McCarthy was named head of storytelling for Hasbro’s Girls brands in June.
