Honestly I’m now convinced the leaks are 100% real, proof? In 2017 the leaked info showed the planned a character who was specifically inspired by Danny Devitto, he was in the original <span class="caps">MLP</span> movie from the 80’s, and now this leak says he is a voice in it. More info is that Neon City which was planned to be a Dragon Dimension in the original planing stages, was reworked into a futuristic dragon land city, one that is populated by kirins and dragons, and another pony race called Longma, which are more dragon like than pony.

The city is segregated from the rest of Equestrian thanks to the Alicorn currently in charge.

You can tell this project was worked on by fans, both in writing, and in concept, as well as the art(a pegasister from France worked as a freelance artist on the film and her character designs seem to prominent.

The animatic only proves this info right, the father looked like he was talking about the legend of the Mane 6 and now this indicates that he is singing about a time when the pony races along with others weren’t separate, but loved together thanks to the Council of Friendship and the Elements of Harmony, but those have been lost(shattered by King Sombra) and the new MC and her friends must recover them and end the rule of the Alicorns.

The Alicorns of the movie are nit the kind, understanding ones from the past(Luna, Celestia, Twilight and Flurry Heart) no these ponies, make Nightmare Moon look like Joan of Arc. The Alicorns behave more like the Skekis from The Dark Crystal(possible inspiration for the series)

The movie can get away with a little darkness, just as the 2017 movie did.
