===Literature===
Several books were produced for the film, such as the four novels printed under the ''[[Beyond Equestria]]'' label, all of which focusfocused on expanding characters, places, and groups that were featured in the film. Other books were released as well, most were however simple activity books. Additionally, the film received two novelizations, for slightly different age demographics. [[River Horse]], the company that produces the ''[[My Little Pony: Tails of Equestria]]'' series of game books produced ''[[Tails of Equestria: The Official Movie Sourcebook]]'', which expanded upon the history of [[Klugetown]] and [[Mount Aris]] while also shedding light on the new species featured (primarily the [[Parrot]]s) and contained short-stories set in the world of the film.
 
In addition to the books and novels, [[IDW Publishing]] produced a mini-series of comics entitled ''[[My Little Pony: The Movie Prequel]]'', which told stories leading up to the film, starring [[Capper]], [[Celaeno]], and the [[Storm King]] respectively. The lore and characters of the movie were expanded further in comics such as ''[[My Little Pony: Nightmare Knights]]'' and ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: Season 10]]'', and the story arc, ''[[The Return of Tempest Shadow]]'', though these were not marketed to be apart of the films brand.
 
Months before the films release, ''[[The Art of My Little Pony: The Movie]]'' was released in August by [[VIZ Media]]. The book contained several pieces of concept art, including several characters and places that didn't make the cut, as well as characters who evolved into the versions used.
Line 487:
* Although many fans expected the movie to exist in a limbo-state of canon, as many animated films based off TV shows were rarely ever referenced in the shows aside from brief cameos, the impact of the [[Storm War]] was made very apparent from the first episode to air after the films release, "[[School Daze]]", which lead into the overarching storyline and new-normal of the final two seasons.
* Additionally, Capper became a major recurring character after the films release, appearing in many comics and starred in the ''[[My Little Pony: Nightmare Knights]]'' series as a member of the titular [[Nightmare Knights]], a group of reformed baddies.
** Celaeno, Tempest Shadow, Skystar and Novo all also became recurring characters, but to less degrees. They all appear in novels in the ''Beyond Equestria'' series, but had few appearances from beyond this point. Novo did however appear in "[[Convocation of the Creatures]]" and "[[Cosmos (storyline)|Cosmos]]" as a fairly important character, and likewise Tempest had a short, two-issue arc entitled "[[The Return of Tempest Shadow]]" dedicated to her. Tempest also starred in Nightmare Knights and played a supporting role in the season ten comics.
* Although Tempest Shadow is an original character, another character with a very similar name and color scheme named [[Fizzy Pop]] was introduced in [[2011]].
* Of the characters introduced in the film, only a handful made appearances in the animated series afterwards, none of them voiced. The Storm King appeared in a story sequence and as an illusion in season eight, while Capper, Tempest Shadow, Queen Novo, and Princess Skystar made appearances in season nine.
