Figured I'd just make a separate thread for this to stay on topic. :)
Some new emails were leaked about two weeks ago. I got this information from r/mylittleredacted. (https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittleredacted/comments/95qwhi/mlp_generation_5_email_info/)
1. Each kind of pony has it's own world. There will be inter-dimensional travel. This is possibly inspired from Nordic myth of the World Tree.
2. The pegasi world is very Spartan. Rainbow Dash's design looks like a warrior from Sparta, and Cloudsdale's concept art is like Mount Olympus.
3. Dragons have their own world and culture. Spike is included in G5. Longmas reside in the same world (Dragon Pony hybrid). Dragons are human-sized and wear clothes.
4. "Grootslang" world has a character inspired by Danny Devito. One Grootslang will have relation to spike in some way (perhaps as an enemy).
5. The movie's directors may be Rob Renzetti and Kevin Munroe. Rob may be showrunner.
6. The show will use Toon Boom Harmony, and will be produced at Boulder.
7. No humans! :3
8. The show will not be on Discovery Kids and will garner a TV-Y7 rating, maybe TV-Y7-FV.
To those unfamiliar with the US rating system, Y7 is slightly more intense than Y and is geared towards more mature kids, but isn't quite at PG. An FV rating could mean that there would be some sort of fighting. Think Gravity Falls level.
I left some of the less important stuff out, you can visit the reddit link for all of the notes.
As always, take with a healthy dose of salt!

So it's confirmed they still go with the same ponies and the change we saw on pictures? :cry:
'Cuz it seems pretty awesome, but I would not bear to have the actual character just randomly remade like it seems to happend.
-
Now this I'm not trusting. Both the OP of the Reddit post, as well as the user they mentioned, have deleted their accounts, and nowhere did they actually link to the emails they apparently found. Unless there's actually emails out there of this, I'm calling all of this information fake.
-
Meh.
TBH, It is all rumor until it's from Hasbro.
It's not that these things won't happen, but there's a lot of concepting and back and forth for a toy line and/or tv show to be developed.
-
Ah the World Tree... If they are going with the Norse, it's Yggdrasil. But apparently the World Tree spans into several cultures. (if this is all true)
The thing that is going to bother me is that I feel like if this was true they likely pulled it from Japanese media. I've seen Yggdrasil is a few games and anime.

The designs are not finalized until they are officially revealed. The OP mentioned concept art, but had not linked or showed any art at all.

That's a good point, the show still has two years left of development before we see any of it.

One of the well-known MLP youtubers has relayed this information as well, so it will be passed around nonetheless. :/

Well, this could be all true, partly true, or all made up.
But *if* it is true and Hasbro does continue to stick with the mane 6, then I call that in the movie it turns out that the Tree of Harmony is this “world tree.” And that it is used to suck the mane 6 into this multi world concept where they are transformed into the new design they will have going forward.
-
If this is accurate, then... Well, I can already tell I’m going to not like that generation, like, at all. Think I’ll just stick to the kid-friendly sugar-sweetness of generations 1-3, frankly.
-
I might be into it. Action, adventure, weird mythologies? Sure. It all depends on the execution.
But right now it just kinda sounds like Wildfire with more ponies instead of people and some D&D stuff thrown on top of it. Actually it might be the most 80s thing ever.
-
Yuck. If this is true, it sounds boring and more of the same.

I. AM. GROOT.
Sorry... someone had to say it :-p

Probably should start posting here and not in the other thread.
I really hope they go with the drafthorse AJ concept art! Loved her fluffy fetlocks. Also yes to ethereal Rarity and all ponies having a talent for magic. Down with the unicorn 1% :lol:

Grundle King, is that you?
-

Yup.
Any MLP with lazily rehashed mane 6 is dead to me.

Mmm, I kinda agree. I was never a huge fan of the show to start with (I enjoyed some of the episodes, particularly the ones with the Apple family, but overall it was kinda of...idk, I just wasn't big into it), but I figured it would only be for one generation. I guess I should have known better >.< And if any of this is true...I really don't like the idea of MLP progressively becoming less and less for kids, and more for the teenage geek crowd. I love D&D, I really do. But MLP + D&D or at the very least, a D&D-like world in which certain 'races' of ponies have set cultures and mannerisms and don't even live in the same world? Nope. It just seems like they're restricting the imagination of kids (but really, is this even for the kids anymore? Come on, Hasbro, fess up; your target audience has clearly changed).
I just want them to go back to the toy-centric line where they stop re-releasing the same ponies over and over again because they're the 'main characters' and start actually creating new and unique ones that promote imagination and creativity in kids and that everyone can look forward to. I don't think my shelf can take any more Pinkie Pie re-releases D: They're taking over my room lol send help

Well guess we will all have to wait and see what happens. I am so gone when these last few years of G4 have been coming out. I have stopped collecting but I still love ponies and coming to this site.

The whole "Jonah Hill is King of the Dragons" and "creature based on Danny Devito" sound like someone is just trolling really hard. I don't believe any of it.

yeah. I hope it's not. I really don't know why we are getting so much info on the dragons and not on the actual ponies?

Who's Jonah Hill?
-
Who's Jonah Hill?
Had to look him up, I'm not familiar with celebrities outside of youtubers who get in drama, lol.
He's been in comedy films since 2006, in films such as 21 Jump Street. He's also helped with screenplays from a handful of films.

No clue about Jonah Hill but G4 has had characters based on celebrities before and Danny DeVito did a voice for the G1 MLP movie. So while it sounds fishy it's not completely out of the ordinary.
