For tonight's fun, let's dream cast some ponies. · 10:50pm Sep 10th, 2012
Congrats! You're in charge of casting a magical humanized MLP:FIM movie! I need to know who you want for the Mane 6.
* You can pick any celebrity, living or dead, from any point in their lives. (Because magic.)
* The voices will be magically and perfectly provided by the voice actors. Also the acting ability will be magic.
* The person must have been a real human at some point in history. (Hey, magic only goes so far.)
* Any race or ethnicity is allowed for any character, and no one is allowed to complain about it.
* Please provide the correctly spelled name and give us a hint where we might know the person from. No pictures, but if you'd like to link to one you're welcome to, especially if they might be hard to google.)
* Put all the ponies in one post and edit it if you change your mind. But go ahead and reply to anyone!
* You can include background characters or the CMC if you want.
* I'll edit this post with any that I think are spot on.
My picks:
Twilight- Danica McKeller (The Wonder Years/ now a really hot math genius.)
Applejack- Natalie Maines (singer for The Dixie Chicks)
Fluttershy- Pre-crazy Katie Holmes (Dawson's Creek/Wonder Boys)
Rainbow Dash- early 90's Mary Stuart Masterson (Fried Green Tomatos/ Benny and Joon)
Rarity- Morena Baccarin (Firefly/Serenity)
Pinkie Pie- mid-90's Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting)
Scootaloo- young Sara Gilbert (Roseanne)
Apple Bloom- young Kami Cotler (The Waltons)
Sweetie Belle- young Natalie Woods (Miracle on 34th Street)
I scrap the whole thing and prepare to be heralded as the savior of all things sacred!
The funds magically disappear and the next morning quite a few universities, schools and orphanages get anonymous donations.
Humanized ponies... I really expected better from you.

I have no problem with humanized ponies, as long as they aren't in bad fanfic. While ponies are adorable, what I love are the characters, which are the same if they're human, ponies, or talking cantaloupes.
Honestly I barely know any celebrities at all, but one thing is for certain ...
Braeburn would be Vic Mignogna, a voice actor for a lot of anime like Fullmetal Alchemist.
350645
Agreed.
I'm thinking Bea Benaderet, aka Kate Bradley from Petticoat Junction, would be a credible Granny Smith.
This sucks. Do the celebrities have to look like the characters and sound like the characters, or do I just cast as I see which actor/actress would fit best? What the buck?
No matter.
Twilight Sparkle- Chuck Norris
Rainbow Dash- Elvis Presley
Applejack- Nsync. All of them.
Pinkie Pie- Bono
Rarity- Channing Tatum
Fluttershy- Angelina Jolie
Fuck that. Real version.
Twilight Sparkle- Emma Watson (Why? Because I can. Fuck it)
Rainbow Dash- Mila Kunis
Applejack- Emma Stone (HOW THE FUCK SHOULD I KNOW)
Pinkie Pie- Ellen Page (This one is really hard...)
Rarity- Anna Kendrick
Fluttershy- Amy Adams
Actually, those are just a few actresses I really like. Amy Adams had to be on there because I FUCKING LOVE Amy Adams. Some of them could do their parts fairly well, I think. Emma Stone could do anything. Anna Kendrick would do well with Rarity, I think. Amy Adams could actually be a very good Fluttershy. Mila Kunis would not be a bad Rainbow Dash. My problems are Twilight and Pinkie. Emma Watson just doesn't look the part. Her performances in the Harry Potter series suggest she could be Twilight-esque, however. Ellen Page. I just like Ellen Page XD
Just for fun-
Braeburn- Jake Gyllenhall
Celestia- Sigourney Weaver (Younger Weaver, or just older Bella)
Luna- Bella Thorne (I don't know who that is, but I found her online and she looks really pretty haha)
Discord- Hugo Weaving OR Heath Ledger
Joseph Gordon Levitt needs a place here, but I don't know where.
350951
Spike- Joseph Gordon Levitt
(ill be editing this throughout the night)
Big Mac- Michael Clark Duncan
Granny Smith - Betty White
Princess Celestia - Meryl Streep
Twilight Sparkle - Emily Deschanel (Bones)
Rarity - Elizabeth Taylor
Princess Luna - Carrie Fisher
Sweetie Belle - Elle Fanning
Scootaloo - AnnaSophia Robb (Bridge To Terrabithia)
Apple Bloom - Hanna Hall ( young Jenny from Forrest Gump )
Applejack - Reba McEntire ( country singer; from the show Reba)
Fluttershy - Talia Shire ( Adrian from Rocky )
Spike - Jordan Nagai ( Russell from Up )
Discord - John De Lancie ( duh ) ( Q from Star Trek )
Pinkie Pie - Ellen DeGeneres ( Dory )
Rainbow Dash - Karen Allen ( Marion Ravenwood; Raiders of the Lost Ark)
Princess Cadence - Anne Hathaway (Princess Diaries)
Shining Armor - James or Oliver Phelps ( Fred and George Weasley)
350626 just so you know, i may or may not have to make the characters into talking cantaloupes now.
thanks.

No problem! Write a fic about it and I'll bet you make the feature box.
351096 that would be.... odd.... besides, im to busy with my other story. and my art. gah. time, i have none.
351067
Meryl Streep as Celestia is genius.
351111 thank you
If you can humanize 'em, I can masculinize 'em!
Twilight- Detective Adrian Monk
Applejack- Johnny Cash
Fluttershy- Woody Allen
Rainbow Dash- Han Solo
Rarity- Captain Jack Sparrow
Pinkie Pie- Robin Williams
351241
I do not argue with your masculinization. Woody Allen as Fluttershy made me laugh, and I'm not sure that Pinkie Pie isn't Robin Williams.
I'd do:
Twilight- Mathew Gray Gubler (Criminal Minds)
Applejack- Johnny Cash
Fluttershy- Michael Cera
Rainbow Dash- 80's-era Matthew Broderick
Rarity- Pierce Brosnan
Pinkie Pie- Robin Williams
so bookplayer whatcha think of mine
351067
Absolutely love Elizabeth Taylor as Rarity! How could I have missed that? Also Anne Hathaway as Cadance and a younger Reba as AJ are great. And I mentioned before that Meryl Streep is perfect.
351407 Just so you know I cant stop listening to Vienna now
351438
Does it totally remind you of TwiDash now?
There are worse songs to have on repeat.
351447 yes yes it does; and is now quickly one of my favorites of Billy.
Have you perchance heard of the song Dance Til We're High by the fireman? ( Paul McCartney Collab project)?
351451
I don't think that I have. . .
the author present perfect did a twidash based on it and i cant stop thinking of twidash when i listen to it. i would have included it the other night but the top comment is TwiDash sent me here.
Dance Til We're High - Firemen
351494
I like it. . . I like it a lot.
I have a fic in the thinking-of-it stages that's a AppleDashLight polyamory fic, and I think that song might be perfect for part of the plot. (Not the whole thing, though. I seriously doubt it will work out the same as the TwiDash fic the song inspired. Without AJ it would be a very sad fic.)
351514 AppleDashLight fic you say...color me intrigued
Roid Rage: Dolph Lundgren (Drago from Rocky)
Soarin: Tom Cruise (Top Gun)
Photo Finish: Lady Gaga
I have no idea for any others.
351525
I don't know about Rocky, but I saw Dolph Lundgren in Johnny Mnemonic. Perfect cast as Roid Rage. I see Soarin' as being bigger and dumber than Tom Cruise. . . Almost Patrick Warburton (The Tick/ The voice of Kronk from The Emperor's New Groove.) But that's just from the little we see of him. I could totally see Lady Gaga as Photo Finish. I'm pretty sure she's dressed like that at some point.
351523
I don't have a word written on it, but I'd love to talk about it if you're interested in PMing me. I have lots of friends into AppleDash, and I like TwiJack a lot, but I'd love some input from someone who loves TwiDash, especially because that's a big part of the fic.
351540 ill prolly due that sometime tomorrow; its almost 1am here and i would like to be able to think abstractly before helping
351545
No prob. If you want, I can PM you what I'm thinking and you can get back to me whenever you want. Would that be good?
(I'm in the same time zone, but I'm up 'til three every night.)
351550 sounds good
