My Little Pony 'n Friends: Baby, It's Cold Outside (G1 TV Episodes, 1986, 2x 10 minutes)

Just as a note, that song you may have heard on the radio called 'Baby, It's Cold Outside'? It's a cover. The original song is from 1944, believe it or not, and has been covered by a *lot* of different artists over the years. So the title of this episode is in fact a pop-culture reference. Just for giggles, I looked it up and Sigourney Weaver and Buster Poindexter covered this song on Saturday Night Live only a month before this episode was first broadcast, so for adults at the time the song was fresh in their minds. And the original version of this song is just as creepy, and inappropriate for kids, as the current version as it has always includes several lines like: "Hey, what's in this drink?"

Other than the title, I can't find anything in this episode that links it to the song beyond the cold weather itself, so it's just a pop reference with no real meaning.

Part 1

Unnatural snow.

Chilly Willie! Nobody remembers...

Penguin king has a freezing stare. Fine. Has a machine that amplifies the power.

Rainbow is freezing? Wow.

Okay, it's frozen on the human side as well.

Wingwarmers. Fine. Flying with wingwarmers on. So much no.

Or from high altitudes... Never mind.

Nice clear ice you can see through. Usually that only happens when water is in constant motion, believe it or not. Not agitated, but circulated.

Minotaur maze, with a yeti playing the part of a minotaur. Well, kind of a duck yeti, but still.

Part 2

King Charlatan the Great. Nice.

Huh. Pony thinking outside the box.

Uh.... what's with the glowing rod thing?

Okay, but how does that help?

He said the machine was not... oh, okay, I get it. It just amplifies whatever is fed into it, and the Penguin King doesn't have a heat power to

feed in, so it never occurred to him.
