Did anypony notice Ms. Harshwhinny?

[Mr. Critical 433]

This may be a tad odd, but who here noticed Harshwhinny's facial features. They seemed a little more... what's the word. Active, than the rest.

Im not saying its bad, just sayin, i found it hilarious the way her face moves.

[Scootalove 10,684]

The animation with her facial expressions were very hysterical, the animators took advantage of that to use for some comedy and professionalism.

I noticed she was different but i couldn't but my finger on why.

Then i noticed the rolling eyes and stuff

Yeah, I noticed it as well and I loved it. I really thought her expressions were hilarious. It is nice to see they are really experimenting with the facial expressions in this season. It seems to be the case at least. It worked incredibly well with her personality.

[hawkflame 3,308]

I think that she was much more expressive than she was last time, which I think worked out well for the episode.  She and Dash made a nice odd couple type pairing.

[FoxyCryptid 4,327]

I think they were supposed to be an over-the-top parody of the kind of facial expressions snobish or "proper" acting characters tend to make. 

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

She did make some rather interesting expression on her face, now didn't she? I though it was kind of funny, to be honest.

[DubWolf 16,623]

I absolutely LOVED how they exaggerated the animation of her mouth when she spoke!! It just made her seem more snobbish* (and erm, professional  !

 

*apparently it can be spelled with one or two b's, I noticed this in Shoboni's post.

[TorqueEffect 112]

She was amazing it this episode, she was honestly the only part of the episode I actually liked. lol

you know, it feels wierd to say i enjoyed ms harsh whiney being back lol.

 

I likes games ponies played,

maybe more than i should have,

but i didn't like harsh whiney lol.

[edpedrero 25]

My guess is that many found her "odd" due to only showing 3 or less facial expressions during her first appearance.

[FirestormCAN 246]

From what I can tell, she did not want to take part in this assignment. She's probably thinking "Why must it always be me speaking to the foals? They don't know a thing about dignity." They were jarring at first, but as they came up I just couldn't help but laugh at how silly they were. XP

[Renon Strike 67]

I noticed that she looks like she does not sleep much, maybe because she is a strict character and has a demanding role.

[Sweet Dreams 1,893]

I rather liked her facial expressions. They were..... Oddly amusing.

[Dddrgn 450]

Her expressions were part of what made the episode for me, the animation has improved so much since the first season!

[crazitaco 596]

I swear she was the first thing i noticed in this episode. Her facial expressions were freaking glorious and perfectly over the top! It just goes to show what a good team DHX is, they took this character with unlikeable traits and improved her by making giving her more emotions and making pronunciations hyper-expressive. I didn't think i could ever like Ms. Harshwhinney until this episode.

Very astute observation Mr. Critical, she was definitely more animated in her facial expressions than we're used to seeing from characters in MLP, especially in the first scene of the episode (as was Rainbow Dash a few times in the opening scene as well).  Very pleased to see the animators always trying new things to improve upon the already stellar animation of the show! 

[Princess Lona 381]

I noticed it too. There's something about her eyes that is different from the other characters. I think it's because they are almost always at least half shut. It affects all of her expressions.

[Noodles 109]

Anyone else think Ms Harshwinnie was channeling Rarity most of the time!

[Gone Airbourne 21,969]

Yeah I really like what they chose what to do with the animations regarding her. It was something I did not expect but it was a very nice touch to the character and episode.
