A Very Minty Christmas

A Very Minty Christmas (G3 Direct-to-VHS/DVD Special, 2005, 45 minutes)

 

Summary Minty just wants everything to be perfect, but she lets her accident-prone nature gets the better of her, and she has to travel far to make up for the damage she caused.

 

Snow doesn't cover the entire ground at Christmas. This means that either there is an ocean nearby or if it's deep in the mainland it's relatively far south (relative to where I normally live, that is.)

 

Pegasis and earth ponies completely co-existing now. Uh... they've taken flashes from prior shorts and stuck them in here.

 

Art now has shading, where it didn't before, and no more black outlines. They're all outlined like G4, but the shading is *really* heavy. The framerate of the animation is relatively low it seems, or the copy I'm watching is sampled at a low rate.

 

Minty has socks on. No comment.

 

"Here Comes Christmas Candycane". A specific tradition with a magical light-up candycane to give Santa a landmark to steer by.

 

Woah, scale issues. Suddenly Minty is huge.

 

Electricity, or something similar, is assumed.

 

Minty is really obsessed with socks.

 

Oh dear god. I'm trying very hard to not make a joke here. Was the brony who started this meme aware of this special?

 

Okay, I'm missing something. Why do all the ponies have a hairbrush hanging by their fireplaces? I'm not familiar with this custom.

 

"Is she in danger, darling?" "She's Minty, what do you think?"

 

Okay, we're finally at the north pole. And here we go with the Magic of Friendship, causing all the socks to glow.

 

So this is the pony version of the hanging your stockings by the fireside. Wow, that was a lot of lead up to that payoff.
