My Little Pony 'n Friends: Pony Puppy (G1 TV Episode, 1986, 10 minutes)
One of those ponies is really dressed up, where none of the others is wearing much. Wonder why?
Yikes! One giant dog.
Just ponies in this one, no Megan so far.
There's no way a dog could live very long on cupcakes and icecream cones. They're primarily carnivores and need meat protien. While they can go for quite some time on fruits and vegetables, they can't survive completely on them the way bears can.

My Little Pony 'n Friends: The Glass Princess (G1 TV Episodes, 1986, 4x 10 minutes)
Another four-parter.
Part 1
Pony Olympics. Hurdles, pole bending but with balloons.
What are those? Dogbirds?
They have some kind of telepathic/remote viewing with...
Princess Porcina. Looking for magic material to repair her cloak that can turn things into glass?
Not sure what the little fuzzy thing that is wandering around is.
Dogbirds are serving Porcina because she promised t
My Little Pony 'n Friends: The Great Rainbow Caper (G1 TV episode, 1986, 10 minutes)
The first stand-alone TV episode. Not much else to say here.
Summary: This Gizmonks want the Rainbow of Light. Megan and company have to trick the creatures into letting them all go.
Here's the rainbow of light, doing weather work.
Don't screw with artifacts, it's rarely a good idea.
Buh? Who the heck has a closed-circut TV system in this setting?
Monkeys. Gizmonks to be precise. So thi
My Little Pony 'n Friends: The Ghost of Paradise Estate (G1 TV episodes, 1986, 4x 10 minutes)
From here on, the series My Little Pony n' Friends seems to follow a pattern a four-parter followed by a stand alone episode. This is the first four-parter.
Summary: An evil creature seeks to destroy all of Ponyland, starting with Paradise Estate.
Part 1
Building a nursery again to replace the one by Dream Castle. Again, baby ponies/foals seem to be raised in a creche system.

My Little Pony 'n Friends: The End of Flutter Valley (G1 TV Episodes, 1986, 10x 10 minutes)
The first real TV series for My Little Pony was broadcast as part of 'My Little Pony 'n Friends' where a 10-minute MLP episode was followed by a 10-minute episode from another animated series. The first ten MLP episodes were basically a mini-series sequel to the theatrical film. Given the length, it's very likely this was originally the script for another full theatrical film, but given how the first
My Little Pony: The Movie (G1 Theatrical Animated Film, 1986, 86 minutes)
This one almost did me in. It's not... bad, really? But the pacing is sooooo slow with side quests for both the protagonists and the antagonists, splitting the protagonists into three different groups, etc.
Any case, this film was the only actual theatrical release of My Little Pony until the recent Equestria Girls film. It's absolutely necessary as a bridge between the previous two specials, and the TV series that
My Little Pony: Escape from Catrina (G1 Animated Feature, 1985, 22 minutes)
The second special film for My Little Pony, called 'Escape from Catrina', originally broadcast in 1985. This isn't done as a second pilot, as it does seem to rely on the viewer having seen the first feature to understand some of the context, and it's not really part of the TV series that's still to officially start in the next year. Again, these notes are from the original version, not the re-edited version that was
As I mentioned in my main blog, I'm going to be doing something stupid here. I'm going to be watching MLP, from the beginning. And I mean the *beginning*. These are my notes I took while watching the episodes. Note, I am in no way a critic. I have no qualifications whatsoever, and my primary purpose doing this is to glean any interesting tid-bits that can be used to build up the society, culture, and history of the My Little Pony world. So a lot of these notes will be about architecture, clothin
