In this special we finally get a name and reason for Pinkie losing color when depressed from "Party of One" and onwards. This also explains Twilight going gray in the season 2 premier when she gave up.
I wasn't sure what to expect when this special came out, but I'm happy with what we got. No villains, no oncoming apocalypse, just a simple conflict with a gentle pace and a wholesome message. Love the characters, love the animation, love the feels.
This is a very nice MLP special. It’s great that the movie art style was reused for this special, I love these designs! Out of all the new characters, Kerfuffle and Petunia are my faves. Their personalities are very cute.
Also, the songs are great too. Personally, I like “Living in Color” the best, even though “The End of the Rainbow” and the “Rainbow Roadtrip” theme has their own charm.
Fun Fact: In addition to the obvious moments when color comes back to specific objects, everything subtly starts gaining more color over time (this is most noticeable when you directly compare when the Mane Six first saw the townsfolk to just before the festival begins).
I actually like this one better than the movie. Rainbow Roadtrip gave everyone a time to shine where as the movie seemed to push a lot of them to the side.
Agreed! While the movie has a lot of adventure and a slew of new characters and places, it really got dampened with the fact that there are a bit too many new characters to give them better characterization overall, and AJ and fluttershy got sidelined (even rarity too even if she has a more subtle moment) + that moment twilight shouted at her friends would never happen in the show - here the characters are so well written that even for the low key tone it's still enjoyable!
This special, while being more low key than the movie is still better in handling the characterization of the mane 6 by giving them fair time to shine and no ooc moments with the newer characters which is why I love this special way better than the movie! Plus all the new characters are endearing in their own way:D kerfuffle is a standout but I'm glad the show and the characters doesn't point her leg out and instead treated it as a normal thing :)
I think it helped not having too much happening in this special. By having nearly the entire movie take place in one location, as opposed to being a journey through several of them, there was plenty of time for character interactions.
Actually we do see Hopeless magic (or something similar) in the season 3 premiere with the crystal ponies. They were dim and their colors got brighter as their moods improved. Or another time that I can't believe I forgot is with Pinkie Pie when she gets depressed or sad (Party of one and Yakkity Sax)
I love this special so much. It’s very sweet and wholesome, with beautiful animation as well as great new characters. On top of that it shows the Mane 6 doing what they do best, solve a friendship problem. On top of that I just adore Barley and Pickle, the two twin foals that are the Rainbow Dash fans, they are just darn adorable. Such cute ponies.
7:49 "You could have stopped that with levitation, Twilight. Or teleported the balloon." It might be rather dangerous to teleport objects that contain fire.
(3:45) That cracked me up too, dude. (20:12) In the words of Smurf, “Oh, color me shocked.”
Not to mention seeing a recolored Big Mac, Lyra, and Bon Bon in this town along with a Wisconsin-ish accented Sunburst and Spitfire (Mayor Skies and Petunia respectively).
I swear sunny skies has a voice that very much resembles Mr. Magoo’s voice I don’t think that was intentional that the voice actor was trying to honor Jim Backus
26:34 Where's Sunset Shimmer when we need her? 27:27 Where's Starlight Glimmer when we need her? 27:44 Now, that's just a lie. 40:27 Well, not Pinkie Pie and nor her sisters, parents or other unmentioned relatives 47:12 Everyone died. Roll the credits with sad music. 53:11 We did multiple times, even though it was never called this way.
Once Again, They didn't include the Mighty Lord of Chaos in this Special. Probably because the man who voice me, John De Lancie, cost a lot and Hasbro can't have me in each specials or episodes... But All it matter for me, it's to see My Friend Fluttershy having her Spotlight and More lines than in the 2017 Movie...
I think the old man pony and his wife was referencing Mr. and Mrs. Howell from Gilligans island I just said that, because Mr. Howell was played by Jim Backus, who was the voice of Mr. Magoo
I think i'm the only one who doesn't like the mayor's song. For some reason the lyrics just don't seem to match the music well to me, like he was trying to fit in extra words that didn't need to be there. Also, the word rainbow was used too much.
Am I going crazy I can’t seem to find this movie anywhere. Can anyone point me in a direction I’d really appreciate it this is the only thing of mlp I’ve yet to see.
I can't b the only one who thinks this special was basically LGBT+ appreciation. Not to mention that one pony with the prosthetic leg. And ending with a marriage proposal than "Living in Color"?? I mean come on! They're telling us being different is ok. Or even cool. Heck 20% cooler than being the same! They pretty much just said stallions can marry mares but then proceeded to say stallions can marry stallions and mares can marry mares AND ITS OK! I mean, freaking Cerfluffle watever sry lol the prosthetic leg pony legit said There may not be much color but u can FEEL what they're SUPPOSED TO BE. I.E. u may not b able to understand LGBT+ people, but that doesn't mean they're not SUPPOSED TO BE here. U can't always c they're true colors, but u can FEEL them.
