1. Can’t tell you. Then it wouldn’t be a surprise, now would it? =D

2. Yes. There are brand new locations we created specifically for the movie as well as extensions of already existing locales from the show.

3. Musical themes are still being played around with. Some may make it in, others might not. Nothing’s been finalized yet with the musical score.

4. Things have ultimately changed concerning the story. The original draft ultimately kind of had an impasse between Chrysalis and Discord’s team up. It didn’t really feel right. The new draft definitely gives more of a reason as to why they team up in the first place and how it sort of works.

No. The voice actors that have dropped from the project ultimately dropped out because of scheduling issues. They just couldn’t commit. After all, this is a non-payed gig for most of the actors. So they technically have the right leave if they feel they can’t commit.

Twilight never says that particular phrase, but she does refer to “the spark” during the confrontation between the Mane 6 and Nightmare Moon in Friendship is Magic Part 2.

I get this question I think more than any on my blog. So to kinda put this question to rest, I can say that you can look forward to new sneak peaks and developments next year.

I can’t say anything more than that.
