Mlp applejack best night ever9/1/2023 They even had some episodes dedicated to preparing for this moment (Like Rarity designing dress for the event and displaying them for a high end fashion critic). Since the start of the season, aside from Twilight Sparkle learning the value of Friendship, every pony has been looking forward to going to this Gala, an event most small town ponies don't get to go to. Course, this wasn't the first time they made jokes regarding Disney. Turns out, we somehow 'get' most of what we expect in a finale as it all led to almost a spoof of a typical Disney scenario. Now we don't get any villains in this episode, not the 'taking over the world' diabolic, but we do get at least 'one' antagonistic character. Now for this American, I've always been used to the BIG finales: The end of an arc kicking off with the villain putting their plan into motion, two episodes worth of the protagonists going through some insecurity, major musical numbers, action sequences, and overall, a satisfying conclusion. It's not often that we get a single episode as a 'season finale', by that I mean for MLP:FIM in general (Course, this would be that first instance it happens). a short hiatus! In which I will reflect on S1 and look ahead to S2. I can't really fault it – so five it is!Ĭhoice quote: Applejack: "Beg pardon, Rarity, but we don't normally wear clothes."

"Pony Joe" as he's called here makes his debut. Fluttershy gets to be a Disney Princess for a bit and gets one of her most famous "losing it" scenes. Prince Blueblood makes his full debut – and don't you wish he hadn't? At least it lets Rarity let rip at him in the end. Then we see both comedy and sadness in each pony's descent from excitement to unhappiness, with AKR's characterisation abilities coming through well. Once at the castle, there is a glorious song inspired by Sondheim's "Into the Woods", with Rainbow's rock section a particular highlight. ![]() (I hope Fluttershy's mice did come back, though!) Ponyville tech levels are still basic – the hairdryers are clearly shown to be clockwork. Twilight does a bit of show-off magic early on – no travelling to Canterlot by rail for these ponies. ![]() It's an ensemble piece that gives all the Mane Six something to do, and though Spike gets a bit left out at least that's acknowledged. Thoughts: This is a hugely enjoyable way to end the first season of FiM. Look, I don't need a reason to post a happy Fluttershy picture, all right?
