Pinkie Pie's Ferris Wheel Adventure (G3.5 Direct-to-DVD Short packaged in the playset of that name, 2009, 5 minutes)

Summary: Pinkie Pie invites all her friends to come to the fair.

Interesting that the various characters are more individualized in this version, despite the art-style. They're a variety of sizes.

Starsong still has butterfly wings, so I guess she's officially a flutterpony within the G3.5 animations. Odd decision by the animators, given that her toys are still pegasi at this point. And it's the same animation studio as G3 where they had actual pegasi, so it's not like this is a new crew who didn't know any better. Given the few animations G3.5 has, I'm getting the impression that SD Animations simply gave up and didn't care anymore.

"Yeah, I am." I like Sweetie Bell in this version.

Ferris Wheel, like Kleenex and Xerox, fall into the category of a brand name that has become ubiquitous. Originally Ferris Wheel was a very specific brand of 'Pleasure Wheel', but lost the trademark through popular usage.

The various fair rides and whatnot are pretty typical. It's hard to stick a date on them, because most of the ones shown haven't changed significantly since the 1880's. At least not at the level of detail we can see.
