I had the chance to interview Liza Koshy and Kimiko Glenn for the My Little Pony: A New Generation movie.
- Why was it important to do this movie?
My Little Pony both raised them as kids and all the beautiful messages that came through was such important to be a part of it. They both felt lucky to get offered their voices to My Little Pony. They were both so excited to be involved with this. The messages allow kids to learn without really learning such as accepting one another and loving each other for their differences. It is a perfect movie for the entire family.
- How do you relate to the characters?
They were both drawn to their characters because they were unique. Zip Storm is anandrogynous energy of source and Zip Storm showcases how it is okay to be an independent little pony or person with a guiding light. They both related to their characters living their truth and not living a lie. Izzy also accepts herself wholeheartedly. She is inviting and curious which are aspects that a lot of people model their life after.
- Was there any challenges in making this movie that you encountered?
They both said how much fun they had and how much joy this brought to them. The pandemic was a bit of challenge as they did film some of it during that. Filming this movie brought a light to them during a dark time. It was theurpetic to have it during the Pandemic. It is a very relevant movie during dark times.
- How it is working with your best friend?
They joked that it was a lot to do. They loved every second of it and loved working together. It was a completely warm experience and to live with love is so important. They are besties and will always be!
