New New MLP DVD features new style Ponies.... Loonland has secured rights for distribution of the new DVD

Synopis of DVD:

Once a year, Twinkle Wish, the Magical, Musical Wishing Star, grants every Pony in Ponyville one very special wish. But when one of the ponies, Scootaloo, accidentally-on-purpose turns the Wishing Star into a Missing Star, Pinkie Pie and friends set out on an adventure to bring it back to Ponyville. But they have to hurry! If Twinkle Wish doesn't get placed on top of the Ever-Forever-Green Tree before sunset, no one will get their wish and the Winter Wishes Festival will be ruined! Along the way the Ponies brave a wild balloon-grounding wind storm, a sleepover in the kind-of-creepy forest, a lonely toy-stealing dragon, and one very nosy mayor. Join all your favorite MY LITTLE PONIES on their journey as they discover that friendship can make wishes come true.

That's what I think of it.

[jljb]

Aw man. I was thinking it was another new pony..... like Twinkle Hope.

[autumn rose]

Woah. That's awesome! Sounds cute...I want!

[Technofilly]

Twinkle Wish? Dumb name. Just no. No. Who thought of these names or wrote that synopsis? It's awful. I'm convinced Hasbro just has a "Happy Name Generator" now.

Please make it stop. *cries*

[sundazzle]

Aww,I'm excited to see a cartoon of the new style ponies,I think they look cuter (drawn) than the previous G3s! Neat!

[Wardah]

As pathetic as the names sound at least this seems like it has an actual adventure with villains rather than throwing yet another party.

[Star_Flare]

The picture makes them look like they should be tripping over their huge feet every other step or toppling over from the weight of their huge heads.

[Harmony Share]

I think it sounds like a cute story! I like the art of the new ponies. Interesting about Transformers and GI Joe as well. I'm sure that there are a lot of people that will be excited about those.
