I used to go to comic con and managed to get into this panel a couple times, but I decided that it's not worth the effort overall. the fags at EQD got in though, so I'll just post some excerpts from what they said.

>Meghan: We had to go big. For the first time, our ponies are LEAVING EQUESTRIA.
questions about the status of EQG intensify
>Mike: We're living in an era of amazing girl power. We've got SIX awesome girls as heroes in this movie (and Spike!).
this alone would have made me regret standing in line for an hour to see the panel
>Q: Who are your favorite villains?
>Ashleigh - "Trump?" No, sorry, in the pony world.
if i hadnt been running the political thread for all these months, I would have thought this was made up
>Q: Any plans to keep the movie style going forward? And what's it like working in ToonBoom?
>Meghan: It's much more expressive than what we're working with in Flash. No answer for the first half of the question, though – they basically had to build the ToonBoom rigs all from scratch. DHX Vancouver really brought their A-Game.
toonboom is shit and she should know that
>Q: Starlight's element of Harmony?
>Meghan: We talked about this…. we're settling on Forgivene– glimmerness. But don't hold us to that if we change our minds.
RED FLAG
>Q: I'm from Scotland. Any chance Celestia is Sunset Shimmer's mother?
>Meghan: There is NOW! We may need you to sign some papers.
MAJOR RED FLAG
>Q: What happened to Starlight Glimmer in the movie?
>Meghan: She's at CHS.
EQG confirmed canon?
>Q: If there's a human counterpart for everyone in Equestria, where's Sunset's counterpart?
>Mike: She's in a van down by the river…
>Meghan: She WOULD have a counterpart… but she's not at CHS.
rev up those fanfics
>Q: Is Sunset ever going back to the pony world?
>Meghan: … yes.
