Yeah, and I know they did it with the witches in the G1 movie (no Cloris Leachman for the main series, for example)
Who knows, maybe with the various shuffling of writers on FiM that occurred (since IIRC the movie entered production after season 4, when Meghan McCarthy was the head writer - which also explains why, say, Starlight Glimmer only had a brief non-speaking cameo towards the beginning) they couldn’t come up with a storyline that would justify the work of trying to cast replacement voices (or of having the animation team come up with Flash rigs - at least until their background cameos in s9 - since ofc the movie was animated in ToonBoom Harmony)

Who knows, maybe they didn’t want to piss off the Vancouver cast since they would be going back to them afterwards (unlike with ANG, where they had no intention of using the LA cast in anything afterwards)

What an original name. That one aside, if they can recast the g5 characters, don’t see why the g4 movie wasn’t recasted as well. I mean Hasbro did it with Galvatron.

I suppose it helped me that I didn’t watch the movie until after the first four TYT episodes had come out, and then I didn’t watch anything besides those things until a few weeks before Chapter 2 came out, when I got caught up by watching several TYT per night, haha

@ИІЯІЖIRIN
Unlike with Alexandra Carter (Twist) I didn’t see any info directly, but supposedly Brynna Drummond moved away to attend college. Apparently, her father, Brian (and yes, indeed, that Brian Drummond, perhaps unsurprisingly) revealed this somewhere (but I was never able to track down where that statement was made)
Also, those movie character voices were pretty clearly to help in marketing the movie (I mean, I’ve always maintained that the reason there were so many new characters introduced in the movie was a mandate passed down from Hasbro corporate to make spots that they could then fill with recognizable Hollywood talent), so it makes sense that they wouldn’t be used after that.
Hell, I think if they thought they could have gotten away with it, they would have recast the Mane Six with Hollywood voices for the movie instead.

@TheQuietMan
we could have both! It’s the classic duo, an angry, reckless and stupid character with a calm, voice of reason and intelligent character, The two don’t get along at first, but they develop an unbreakable bond
red oni and blue oni or more specifically red pony and blue pony
It didn’t help that he is literally the only non-Mane Five pony to be playable in A Maretime Bay Adventure.
It’s okay that he isn’t a protagonist but I think most people thought he would be important
Even so, I was satisfied with how little we got from him, but now that we’ll only have TYT for two years and Sprout didn’t even appear on the show as a background pony
all I can do is hope they remember him

Is that why Babs Seed never returned after Season 3?
Her VA was hard to get in touch with or even get into contact with?
I thought it was because of the hate her character received or whatever or because DHX ditched her just like every other voice actor they went and wasted like with Uzo Adoba (Queen Novo).

No Second Prances is one of my favorites of s6 - I think it’s slightly behind Every Little Thing She Does and A Hearth’s Warming Tail, as far as the non-two parters go.
@ИІЯІЖIRIN
She made a few cameos in TYT after Mane Melody, and as far as MYM goes, I believe she didn’t appear until Top Remodel.
@TheQuietMan
@ИІЯІЖIRIN
I wonder if it’s a situation like with Twist or Babs Seed, where her Toronto VA (I looked up Mane Melody’s credits and her name is Ruth Marshall) moved away and they didn’t feel like casting the role a third time. What would seem to support this is the fact that I don’t recall seeing her name in the credits again (but I could be wrong about that)
@ИІЯІЖIRIN
It seemed pretty clear to me that Sprout’s comment about still owning the building was just him talking out his ass

I think that’s probably because, aside from the Mane Five, he was probably the most prominent pony of the movie, and so fans misinterpreted things (not maliciously, it happens - see speculation about Haven being the villain based on the first trailer, or Izzy being obsessed with tennis balls) and thought he would be more important to the story going forward.

im sorry but starlight can not be used as a example or reasoning to show the above statements are true.
the thing is that starlight’s backstory is neither understandable for her actions or sympathetic even for a villain. A backstory like that in fact is often used to make a villain look worse. As if there backstory is be a petty reason for being evil, its usually used in storytelling to show that there irredeemable and won’t change.
opaline frediuan excuse for ex is ridiculously petty. As a filly, Opaline was overshadowed by Celestia and Luna, who supposedly ignored her when she tried to befriend them. This led Opaline to vow to more powerful than anypony else (like it came from ego). Notably when she gets a Flashback claiming her Freudian Excuse of Celestia and Luna being favored over her, what’s shown make it look like it was jealousy of their friendship
(this shows how petty, jealous and egotistical she is)
There’s some vital context being ignored about Opaline. The biggest part about it was that she was already an extremely unreliable expositor, being cast in the context of manipulating her abused adoptee for sympathy, and it’s even further emphasized by how she conveniently excludes the detail of, say, the fact she was banished from Skyros, not just “overlooked.”
There’s inherently more emotional vulnerability attached to Starlight being on the verge of a mental breakdown, because her mindset was much more volatile under those circumstances.
Because she shouldn’t have even been a villain in the first place for that reason.
Her psychological hangups are the fact that she has abandonment issues, and it spiraled from there. Is it entirely rational? No, but she’s prone to using emotional logic, as shown by numerous episodes after the fact, also more than once related to “abandonment issues.” Is it not explored with less depth than it could’ve been? Admittedly, yes, in regards to her backstory.
@Dragonpone
@WaynePonePone
I think it’s worth noting that Trixie came in acting all smug to Twilight and vandalized her silverware to look like a figure of herself, and Twilight’s concerns were actually validated by the fact Trixie would later brag about Starlight choosing Trixie over her.
Twilight Sparkle: This is exactly why I didn’t want you to make friends with Trixie.
Trixie: A-ha! You still don’t trust me! But guess what, princess? It doesn’t matter if you want to give me a second chance or not. Starlight had to choose between you and me, and she chose me! Your pupil chose me, so ha! I win!
Starlight Glimmer: You win? That sounds like you just made friends with me to beat Twilight.
Trixie: Exactly! [beat] Wait! I mean, no! I got caught up in the moment. I like you. Beating Twilight is just a bonus. [gasps] Saying that didn’t help, did it?
Starlight Glimmer: I should’ve known. Nopony else in Ponyville wanted to be my friend. Why would you? [controlled sobbing]
The only reason there was even a friendship after Starlight ran off from that is because Twilight, seeing that Trixie actually cared about her, vouched for her. Twilight could’ve easily let Trixie either die or fail her magic show in shame, and Starlight would’ve had to live with the fact that someone she thought was a friend used her just to one-up Twilight.
…and in any case, there’s practically no hostility between Twilight and Trixie past S6, in their interactions.

She is like her arch nemesis and stuff. Twilight and Trixie are just more personal.
Sounds more like sitcom arch-nemesis than a true arch-nemesis.

Everyone changes differently. Starlight learns to try her best not to go back to her past self and always stays on her better side. Even she probably thought getting angry over one pony leaving was dumb. It’s kind of like cringing at your own past because even you know it was stupid. And again, what she did in the past doesn’t have to “level with” what she does now. It’s another way of making backstory justification and sympathy points instead of for reflection. People are too obsessed with the idea making Starlight make sense instead of actually looking into her as herself. It’s like she is statistics instead of a character with emotions and bias.
The same with consequences as well. The fact that Starlight beats herself up over her past means she basically punishes herself constantly already. Like I said, punishment doesn’t forward anything, and it’s even more pointless if she already punishes herself. She earned her own reformation. (And I mean, Discord’s consequences are kind of self inflicted. I mean I know he has animosity because of clear bias but I’ll get to that later.)
About No Second Prances, it is so clear Twilight is biased. I agree with Dragonpone’s point that Trixie’s personality is something Twilight isn’t too fond of. That and because Trixie clearly aims toward Twilight. She is like her arch nemesis and stuff. Twilight and Trixie are just more personal.
Why do we always try to make these characters make sense and believeable anyway? Emotions don’t make sense. Feelings are weird. And we all have biases. With Discord and Trixie, the Mane Six are clearly biased because what they did to them was personal and direct. Discord actually completely altered their minds and Trixie basically enslaved their town. Starlight took away their marks and kept them prisoners but everything else about them like personality and thoughts still remained intact. And the whole timeline thing couldn’t be felt by them at all after everything was restored. Even with Sunset Shimmer, everyone else is angerier toward but not the Human Six because they were not the ones being brainwashed. Mane Six are creatures with different ideas and emotions. They are always biased toward something.

I remember Phyllis appearing twice; one in the Mane Melody short and the second time as a cameo in the short Sunny wanted them to go on a hike and Pipp accidentally shaved off a piece of her mane.

That’s just speculation.
Given how she spoiled her own colt, I don’t think it makes sense to abandon her own son - if he were a wanted criminal that is as seen by the wanted poster in Nightmare Roommate which you need a magnifying glass to see.
But even then it’s been shown that he’s served his time as he wasn’t in the same jailcell as Rufus and was doing community service after his sheriff title was nullified from him for good bringing him down back to earth - although not in the good graces of his former partner; as Hitch barely acknowledges him.
Although Sprout still owns the Canterlot Tech building as he previously stated it’s still owned by him and his mother.
As for your other comment, yes, it would be nice to see Phyllis and Sprout work things out. If not for Sprout to try and earn back his brotherly trust with Hitch.

Sometimes I wonder if the reason Sprout didn’t appear is the same as Diamond Tiara: Hasbro says they are not interested in exploring their development any further.
Either that or the writers are far more interested in other topics like Misty.
Honestly the closest to a satisfying conclusion would be in the g5 video game adaptation.

I don’t think she was sick since she completely disappeared after the earlier TYT episodes. But as the guy put it above this comment, it’s also possible the writers don’t have anything to do with her. Even though we got ideas on how Phyllis could play a role again.

phyllis just abandoned her son because she didn’t like the way he was, even though its her fault hes like that.
I was furious when she appeared and she rolled her eyes, as if she isn’t the reason he is a manchild.
In story, Phyllis is apparently reformed it would be great to get an episode were she’s trying to work through things with her son.

She hasn’t been seen since that one TYT episode.
Although she recently made a cameo in the MYM finale of all things surprisingly.
