Suffice it to say, I'm done working for those people and I'm giving up ever wanting to further my career in animation altogether. I worked in Studio B as a storyboard archivist for the last three years. My job was to take pictures of the studio's storyboards throughout the editing process and catalog them, simple enough right? Wrong, you so much as make the smallest mistake and you're screwed. Ive taken photos of storyboards for Johnny Test, Pound Puppies, Kid vs Cat, LPS, and MLP. SE3 was the first time I ever actually got to archive storyboards from MLP because the previous guy quit. At the time I had no idea why, nor was I about to complain. Well, now I'm basically in the same boat as him and looking to get out of the field, so here's a quick look into one of the storyboards for SE4. A few things to note first though. Even after the guy before me quit,I could count the number of times I worked on MLP on one hand only archived one storyboard for SE4, but that was enough to learn how many episodes were scheduled for the season. SE4 will consist of 26 episodes, including 3 2-part episodes >SE4 will air December 2013.

I'm actually Brian Goldner, President and CEO of Hasbro, (what? Even a CEO can surf the internet in his spare time) and I can assure you all that this is entirely false. Despite our ongoing efforts to expand the My Little Pony product line, we are not currently expanding Equestria into other cities. Hasbro Studios has been instructed to focus more energy on the Crystal Empire in order to strengthen that portion of the IP. Rest assured, however, that just because Equestria won't be receiving as much attention as you all may want, doesn't mean that we aren't devoted to strengthening the brand. The new Griffon Empire playset should satisfy your desires quite nicely, along with those of the more "action oriented" little girl.
