The Harmony Unleashed Saga is a comic science fantasy mixed media franchise that are set on a fictional franchise-built universe since the YouTube Poop: TV Series. It is mostly based on the My Little Pony franchise by Hasbro, mainly Friendship Is Magic and Equestria Girls, and the YouTube Poop television series, which ended in 2013. It is an alternate non-canon metaverse spin-off of the My Little Pony G4 series.
The film and television franchise is a satire of superhero action films with a mixture of comedy and action, and a combination of live-action and animation, revolving the themes of bonds with human and animal characters and the whole "Boy and his Pony" dynamic

Distribution
The first film and the seventh-and-a-half/season premiere film of Alicorn Alter were distributed by Lionsgate Television. From 2012 to 2017, the films were distributed by Lionsgate, with spin-offs co-distributed by its subsidiaries such as Summit Entertainment (CDF, Humanitarian) and Pantelion Films (Harmony Jaeger). After the underperformance of Power Rangers and My Little Pony: The Movie, as well as their algorithm of 2D-only releases, Montalvo decided to cut ties with Lionsgate as distributor for Future Harmony Unleashed films, and later on they plan to have Paramount Pictures distribute future films. However, as Disney seems unstoppable box-office wise with 3D releases of tentpole films and buyout of Fox, Montalvo made a deal with 20th Century Fox to distribute the films under both the distribution of Fox and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, starting with Humanitarian Combat. By surprise, with co-distribution by Fox, Netflix co-distributes the holiday special film of 2018.
