Anyone catch the hungry hungry hippo reference in the Mlp movie?

[Clod 8,293]

Yeah, it was incredibly obvious to me.

[cmarston1 5,951]

Yes.

I thought it was pretty cute.

[SaburoDaimando 1,196]

I caught more than that.  I noticed the classic Transformers sound when Grubber's Microphone went up.

[Brony Number 42 9,898]

There was Schrödinger's equation on Twilight's white board at the beginning.

[heavens-champion 1,893]

Yes. And it was hilarious.

[Wingnut 6,725]

Yup, I noticed it too. And promise not to laugh? I mentioned “hungry hungry hippos” in a forum games thread BEFORE I saw the movie. A couple people brohoofed it and probably thought I got the idea from the movie.  

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,151]

Yeah; and it earned a laugh from me. XD Reminded me of the "London bridge is falling down" joke from Hellsing Ultimate Abridged.

I didn't  . But I THINK the scene where Pinks defeats a storm creature with cupcakes, with her psychotic smile, and frosting acting like blood, refers to...... Cupcakes  

[SoberStarlight 906]

YES! I caught the reference and it brought back tons of nostalgia! Did anyone else notice the Pulp Fiction reference in the form of Songbird Serenade's bodyguards, who were supposed to be Jules and Vincent Vega?

Doubt it. Pinkie was all overly happy throughout the movie anyway. Plus I don’t think Cupcakes is a fiction worth referencing.

As for the topic, I actually don’t even know what “Hungry hungry hippos” is?

For what I know (haven't read the fic myself), Pinks in it is as happy as she normally is. It's fandom stuff that usually portrays her with the straight mane Pinkamena persona. So I think it was an intentional Cupcakes reference 

 

About the hippos, better introduce you to the guys

I did, and I was happen to be the only one snickered at the theatre. 

[tm2dragon 12]

I'm pretty sure I groaned out loud at that one. ><

[StormBlaze 991]

i facehoofed right away. It took my sis 2 viewings to even notice it, but she laughed really loud when she finally noticed it x.x

The moment when i saw the Hippo Queen dancing with Pinkie Pie, i just had to giggle.
