My Little Pony's new short Inspiration Manifestation, tied to original creator Lauren Faust, has prompted a #StandWithAnimation campaign accusing Hasbro of using generative AI on the new material. Posts and visual edits concentrate on Rarity's portrayal and a dark-magic 'Torment Nexus' scene, with creators producing illustrative reworks, short animatics, and costume reinterpretations. Commenters call the output disrespectful to animators and to Faust, while others point to G1 franchise rights history and Applejack's unique legal status among early ponies.
