WOW. This sounds like a highly ambitious and demanding production. From what I understand, it's going to be like Bronies: TEUAFOMLP crossed with The Thomas the Tank Engine Man (Bookmark). If so, I'd expect other interviewees will include the Awdry family, Britt Allcroft, Andrew Brenner, some voice cast members, animators etc. and the history lecture would be given by a "professor engine". That is, if it will follow the same basic format. I've never watched the Bronies documentary, so I'm relying on Wikipedia.
Note: I wrote the above before seeing the trailers provided.
However, I'd suggest replacing "Tankies" with "Sudrians" to avoid association with Neil Patrick Harris' video, and because "Sudrian" sounds like Whovian and suits the fanbase better. Because it has only just been announced, how long has it been in production? It's honestly very overdue given that it is about "the original adult fandom", as described. Would I be allowed to spread the word about this and invite some other fans myself?
