Meet the Ponies (G3/C7 Webcasts, 2008, 7x 4 minutes)

This is something new, in that these are webcasts rather than direct-to-video stuff. This is one of those things that makes the division between G3 and G3.5 odd, because we're now dealing with Hasbro getting all experimental.

Pinkie Pie's Party Party

Summary: Pinkie Pie puts on a party!

This generation really gave up on trying to have buildings that were reasonable. Pinkie's 'house' is bizarre on the outside.

The interior, however, is pretty normal for a place built in the 50's or so.

Rainbow Dash sounds like she's *trying* to do the character from before, but not getting quite close enough.

Odd circular fireplace, but I've seen weirder stuff in various 50's architecture magazines.

Rainbow Dash's Hat Fashion Party

Summary: Rainbow Dash organizes a Hat fashion show.

Again, another weird exterior.

Wow, Starsong's wings are going a mile a minute.

The odd thing about this generation is the fact they accept pretty much *anything* that's going on without comment.

Cheerilee's Pajama Party

Summary: Cheerilee hosts a slumber party.

I like the windows.

Of course Pinkie knows how to do balloon animals.

Given the characterizations, this could easily be Cheerilee from G4 when she was a teen. And Sweetie Bell is actually Rarity.

Scootaloo's Outdoor Play Party

Summary: Scootaloo organizes a play-day.

Pinkie and Scootallo's voice actors are giving them very young male-sounding voices

Not just outdoor play, but all very competitive events.

I notice we're *still* dealing with quad skates, and not inline skates.

Starsong's Dance and Sing Party

Summary: Starsong has all her friends join her in a Karaoke party.

Starsong's voice actor is trying very hard to hold that voice, there are parts that she's holding back while singing.

Toola-Roola's Mixed Up Painting Party

Summary: Toola-Roola has her friends paint special plates for her party.

There are places you can do this now, but it's not paint. It's glaze and you bake the stuff on.

There's not much going on in these shorts, really.

Sweetie Belle's New Cake Party

Summary: Sweetie Belle has her friend help with baking special cakes.

That's not quite how carrot cake works, but what the hey.

Interesting. In this generation Sweetie Bell is the baker.

Yes, yes it is.... You have to be very experienced at baking to be able to be spontaneous. Baking is a science, not an art.

Rainbow berries are a lot smaller now, and hard according to the sound they make. Unless they're candied berries, of course.
