An interesting tidbit about Zipp  was posted on Twittter. Don't know if this is going to be a spoiler or not, but I'll put one up anyway:

Guess I'll just throw out there that I'm one of the people who also looks at Sandbar as underrated and deserving of more love. 

Lookie who I got commissioned last year

Here is something I've wondered.

Hitch is at the start of the movie in Maretime Bay, and appears at least to Izzy arriving, but it clearly seems to be Sunny and Izzy alone who are going on their journey to start with. At Zephyr Heights, they meet with Pipp and Zipp, somehow, so it becomees the four of them. But what about Hitch? Based on some of the screenshots that were released, I have a feeling he's going to be looking for Sunny for the first leg of the movie, possibly believing her to be in danger or missing.  There is a screenshot of the four girls camping in the woods, so at some point, he will meet with the other four and become a permanent party member, so to speak, rounding out the cast of five. 

All five characters are going to have some similar level of prominence, and there's no doubt he is going to be a big part of the main five cast, but  I can't help this feeling that he's just going to be "rounding them out", so to say, as if he might not be the most "main" of the main group, so to say, or have the most prominence of the five. His sparseness in the merchandise department would seem to attest to that...

I'm real curious to know his dynamic and how he plays in the group, regardless!

He's asleep on the beach!

The only EQG things I've seen were the first three movies, but I never saw any of the others. That changed tonight!

I saw Legend of Everfree, and it was alright.

These are things no doubt all of you know already, but...

Human-world Twilight is having nightmares about becoming Midnight Sparkle once again, while everyone is going on a camping trip. In the midst of all the camping and meeting the two new characters Gloriosa and Timber Spruce, the main characters are starting to show magic abilities.

Twilight can levitate objects.

Fluttershy can talk to creatures.

Applejack has super strength.

Rainbow Dash has super speed.

Rarity can create crystals, though primarily as a shield.

Pinkie Pie has... exploding sprinkles.

And Sunset has mind reading and memory reading powers.

After lots of questions and suspicions, they learn the truth about how the camp is going to get bought, and the lengths that Gloriosa will go to to preserve it. Then they discover the gemstones from the cave which are suspiciously colored like the main characters, and have to fight Gloriosa mad with their power. But they defeat her (with her not even being that really the most super evil villain) and receive crystal necklaces that are the source of their powers.

Other observations:

-They seem to be doing a thing with Twilight and Timber Spruce...

-That song about everyone embracing their new powers had a VERY similar structure and start to The Magic of Friendship Grows!

Overall the movie wasn't super my favorite, but not terrible. There's some I have to see. I've primarily watched most of the Shimmer returning to Equestria scenes, seeing an Equestrian perspective on the EQG series. Sunset meeting Starlight. Sunset reconciling with Celestia. I know Sunset returns to Equestria WITH human-world Twilight at one point, and I very much want to see that! But I purposely haven't seen that yet. I feel like I should see the other things before I do.

Some promo images are coming out.

Here's a hell of a sh**-eating Hitch grin.

And ponies how do you do pizza

Nice clip and all.

But I get some weird vibes too.

I really hope she will warm up to me in the movie and be likable and have depth.

Please don't be Kim Kardashian, Pipp.

Very much interested in this dude. the Maretime Bay sheriff and the first male pony main character in the franchise!

I'm excited to learn more about him! (and the other four, too!)

I keep staring at Hitch's fur.

I want to cuddle.

..help me.

Or don't.

Excited to see her and know about her!

It could just be a cool ancient sounding word, too.

Wow I can practically feel their coats.

And look at that detail on Izzy's hoof!

Reciprocate it. <3 Or hug.

You like the dissectibles figures? You wanna really go for it? Well...

Nightmare Moon is coming soon, and she's a big one and expensive! 8.5 inches tall, $159!

Update time!

All I need to do before I put out a demo is battle and overworld sprites for the mane 6, and overworld sprites for various NPCs, and I'm working slow on that. But I do have some various graphics works done, and one of the big things I've done is build the final room of the game!

Spoilers, obviously...

And I've figured out yet another enemy fit.

The Tiger and Sabertooth will be that Yeti from the Frozen North!

The 4de plush of her has her hat on, at least.

And the Hitch thing, I don't know why he's being pushed to the side. Maybe the boys aren't as sell-able and magical.

I saw it for the first time 2 or so years ago.

Quite good classic animation! And I believe I read that some of the animation crew went on to become Studio Ghibi and do those Miazaki movies.

This poster was shown in the trailer.

This must be some sort of propaganda being spread, which is sustaining the paranoia ponies feel.

As if to say, The Pegasi are to be feared!

It's simple. Avoid getting the book. 

Sure, but since everything was scanned and put online, that's going to be way harder. For an online person. Then people might start talking about or sharing things.

I can't believe we have to do this spoiler dodging song and dance again.

But the book WAS going to be released on August 17th, so there was nothing we could do anyway. Not a good idea on their part.

What an appropriate picture.

I uploaded that to derpibooru cause I thought it was good.
I never thought I'd have to use it for something.

I've definitely thought the ponies looked better in motion than in (some of) the static images, and the trailer really just hammers that point.

You know with her, she's so mysterious and creepy, it almost feels like a "less is more" sort of thing.

Maybe it's creepier not to know.

I like this changeling

This is an acceptable answer too.

Btw I really love the atmosphere and looks of Zephyr Heights!
