...I don't know if it's just me, but this is (in spirit) reminding me of that super-cartoony Thundercats reboot (that I haven't heard of since the teaser), and the shift from Teen Titans, to Teen Titans Go. :/ Just an... almost cheapening effect, if I can call it that, in terms of animation, style, and writing. No idea how it will ACTUALLY be, if there is actual smart writing in there somewhere or not but, this is just how it's coming off, to me. Doesn't give me hope, in any case. Yes, yes, I know it's "for kids", but there have been TONS of 'kids shows' that didn't talk down to their audiences.
Also again I don't know if it's just me or not, but in the clips, I couldn't understand what any of the ponies were saying AT ALL. All I could hear and understand was the "Pony Liiii-iife!"being shouted at me. :/ (I am getting old)
I admit I never watched the original FiM, but I still appreciate it for what it was, and what it did. Maybe it's because I never watched the show, but what I would have liked is if this new show featured a completely new set of characters. (okay, that's the collector in me, not wanting a thousand versions of the same 6 characters all over again).
(edit: I'll still probably collect the toys. I just have ZERO interest in the show at all. c_c; )
