Izzy's mane

[Lnx1ynight16 2,014]

Izzy Moonbow is a unicorn in g5 of MLP. She’s my favourite (besides Sprout) from this generation, but something about her mane bugs me. I have 3 pictures to show you.

A New Generation (Movie):

Tell your Tale (TYT):

Make your Mark (MYM):

Do you notice anything? Look at Izzy's mane in the Movie and the cartoon. Her mane is very long, reaching hoof length. But then look at the CGI show and you’ll see that her mane is significantly shorter, only about neck to top leg length. This bugged me and I never understood why they made Izzy's mane shorter in MYM, but kept her mane longer in TYT? Does anyone else know the reason?

I think that's because, to keep costs down. Animating mane or long fur in 3D animation is more complex and time-consuming
if you want it to move naturally.
Animating hair in 2D animation is much cheaper.
And the My Little Pony: A New Generation cost $6.5 million to make, so Izzy's mane was made very long...
