"chilean_character"? There's definitely a likeness there. If only we had someone from Chile around here who could provide some details.. |

I have a friend from Chile who looks more or less like that. |

I would've guessed he resembled Alfred E. Neuman more, but whatever. |

Holy shit! Can't unsee!
Seriously. That pony is Papelucho! Papelucho even had a newspaper in one of the books. @DeeperMadness The main character of a series of books they have been forcing Chilean children to read since the late 40s. There's also an animated film, but whatever you do, stay away from it. It sucks like a black hole. The books are written as Papelucho's diary. They have been internationally praised, but I don't know... maybe I'm just sick of them. I don't like them at all. |

Holy shit, now i can't unsee it D: (I'm chilean by the way and yeah, every chilean kid has been forced to read them at least once, so we are really sick of him) |

So ponification is now canon? (Or else if Papelucho started traversing dimensions a la Sliders, this would be his Pony variant?) |

Well, it depends on where the books come from.
Looking at the Wiki, it's like Arthur, Bobby's World, and Encyclopedia Brown. A bit of a Mary Sue, huh? I'm checking out the full movie on Youtube. Don't worry, I've got a critical eye. |
| Wheezie_Moonflower #1212608 3 months ago |
Wow, that movie is fantastic! In a bad way. Horrible blend of 2D and 3D. Very heavy on the Bobby's World-type fantasy. The adventure is all within the fantasy element. Everything else is boring. What else do you expect from a movie about imagination? |

They canonized The Big Lebowski in much more blatant fashion before, so yeah. |
