Re: MLP Movie - airing October 6, 2017
Entertainment Weekly did a brief article on the movie and they have a 360 view of the underwater kingdom. Complete with some bg music on a loop.

I detest seaponies. If they sing "shoo-be-doo" or a variation my brain will shut down. I was trolled and teased so much with that in the early days of my participation in the fandom that I can't react any other way by now.

The only question is how blatant it will be. Could be anything from a full blown song remix, to "shoo-be-doo" being their equivalent to "aloha."

I was trying to think of the absolute worst way they could handle this...
Queen: Shoo-be-doo, pony guests.
Twilight: What's shoo-be-doo?
Queen: Shoo-be-doo means peace and harmony, it's what us seaponies are all about.
Twilight: Huh, I guess we're not so different afterall. Shoo-be-doo to you too!
[the Mane 6 laugh while saying "shoo-be-doo" to each other]
[throughout the movie, "shoo-be-doo" is used as a rallying cry, and then at the finale there's the part where it seems like the bad guy wins...]
Bad Guy: You ponies are weak. There's nothing left for you here. Why do you keep fighting when you know you'll lose?
Twilight: Shoo...be...doo...
Bad Guy: What?
Twilight: Shoo-be-doo, motherf*cker!
[rainbow lasers shoot out of Twilight]
[every character in the movie sings "shoo-be-doo" and makes a huge shoo-be-doo spirit bomb that obliterates the villain]

Also, the story seems to have changed dramatically from the old Sony leaks, but those referred to a bunch of other races and locations. It's possible they're not showing all their cards yet, although I'm guessing we'd have heard about any other celebrity voice guests by now.
