After its theatrical release, it will be exclusively available via Amazon Prime Video. Lionsgate also bumped up the release of My Little Pony to Oct. 6, 2017, from its previous date of Nov. 3, 2017. The animated film features the voices of Emily Blunt and Kristin Chenoweth and will open in wide release.
