There was a bit of communication breakdown regarding some of the terminology being thrown around; the Sony execs that Hasbro communicated with were unfamiliar with the series (they didn't know what an "Alicorn" was) and were concerned with how the film would do with a new audience (people who weren't already fans of the series). Also, Sony wanted the ponies to go to the real world, like in the live-action Smurfs movies.
