My Little Pony 'n Friends: Through the Door (G1 TV Episodes, 1986, 2x 10 minutes)

 

Part 1

 

Ponies are actually exploring, this is somewhere they've never been before.

 

The Door seems very elaborate. Very reminiscent of Angkor Wat, the Buddhist Monastery in Cambodia. It shows up as a backdrop in a lot of movies going for a mystic Eastern feel.

 

The Golden Door. Ooooh, actual history of ponyland. Sorcerer built a door to the Land of Legends.

 

wat. No, not Angkor Wat. Just wat.

 

This seems to be the Mel Brooks version of Robin Hood. A collection of human myths, but definitely the silly versions.

 

Heartthrob is one of those overdressed ponies. While her outfit still resembles a strawberry shortcake knock-off, it does follow the late Baroque style in or around 1650-1700. It just looks silly scaled to a pony.

 

Fast drying fabric there.

 

I really don't want to deal with the idea of humans and ponies getting it on. How did this get past the 80's version of the censor board?

 

That's an interpretation of Hercules I hadn't really thought of. Cleaning the Aegean stables = cleaning Paradise Estates. Cute.

 

Ponies doing the dance of the seven veils. How on earth did this get past...

 

Reference to light bulbs. Yep, the ponies are firmly in the 80's now.

 


Part 2

 

So the monster everyone is afraid of is a Dragon? Haven't we had dragons before?

 

Prince Charming is fake French? I guess that follows.

 

I'm not going to bother with the architecture in the Land of Legends.

 

All the books in the real world have been erased. That's an interesting effect.

 

Why has the dragon got a wig?

 

Door switched sides.

 

This set of episodes are really meta when you think about it.
