Does it sometimes bug you that there are people that will expect this movie to be 100% canon to the show?

It bothers me greatly. Something that people should understand is that too many pieces of fan-animation in this community want to replicate a product that only the original creators can give to people. People keep asking us to make the movie show-accurate, but the problem is that no one can replicate Friendship is Magic other than the people who make Friendship is Magic itself.

The most successful pieces of fan-animation are the ones who try to give themselves their own identity. We want to make something that acts as a tribute to the original show, not an imitation. People try too hard to be something that they shouldn’t. So many people wanna eclipse the original show, but by doing that they’re giving up the opportunity to be themselves and make themselves stand out as their own unique individual. So that’s what we’re deciding to do. We’re paying tribute to the show in the way we personally want to. Doing what we feel is right and being proud of it!
