>I see all of this and cannot help but think that at some point we need to have a real conversation about the timeline for making this movie and how completely unreasonable it is given the number of people who have to sign off on its creative direction and the complete lack of consensus on key fundamentals of the story and characters that still exists. Key fundamentals that, by the way, were shared nearly six months ago.

>I am open to change. Honestly, if we collectively decided that there should just be a Mane 3 or a Mane 6 that includes 2 boys or that everyone should be sea ponies, I would find a way to tell a compelling story within these parameters or I would formulate a reasonable argument for why those choices don't make for a compelling story and provide an alternative. But to think that we can produce a locked script for a feature in what will quickly become less time then it takes to write a 22-minute episode of an established series is patently absurd. I had some confidence that we could push through and get a script written in an already truncated timeline as we'd already done some internal development that I thought was promising. Reading the below, it would be foolish of me to believe that this won't be an arduous and drawn out process.

>My greatest frustration comes from the fact that what I know will actually happen is that the idea that what we are being tasked with is unreasonable will be met with skepticism or will be outright dismissed. This attitude will not come from some great belief in our ability to pull off miracles but from a lack of respect for our timelines and process. Starting to find that being told over and over again that what we need to be successful doesn't matter isn't the greatest motivator.

>I realize you are just the messenger and this rant isn't really directed at you, or Tyla for that matter, but toward a flawed process that no one seems to see the value in fixing because the party most harmed by it is the studio team.

Example, and McCarthy being boss.What I'd give to work on that for a few months and fix it all...
