Premise:
700,000,000,000 milleniums after the events of My Little Pony: A New Generation, Equestria has been replaced by Humanity. A 16-year-old boy named Elijah Anderson (Tom Holland) discovered that a spirit pony named Twinkle Moonlight (Chloë Grace Moretz) has came from one of the four realms (which are located deep deep underground way beneath the earth's crust) to the human world. And tells him that the same monsters that were once happening back in the aftermath of the events of MLP: ANG have returned once again to destroy the four realms and create extinction of the human race. He must band together with his siblings and friends (espically his parents) to save the city in time for Halloween, as these recent violent events could potentially culminate to a devastating moment in the history of the world.
