Crystal Edge 42 March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 Welcome to the forums! I think Fans started the "Dr Hooves" thing. A bit like the "Derpy Hooves" thing. -Crystal Empire, Royal Guard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fhaolan 4,494 March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 (edited) Welcome! The background character was named 'Doctor Whooves' by the fans due to a passing resemblance to the actor playing the Doctor at the time (David Tennant) in the long-running, BBC-owned 'Doctor Who' program. Plus the hourglass cutie-mark which fits the concept. The DHX crew found out about this and it amused them, so they ran with it. Supposedly, that's the name the scripts and animation puppets are marked with, but the official name of the character is 'Time Turner' in order to avoid trademark issues with the BBC. Licensed 3rd party MLP products do use the name Doctor Whooves on occasion, but with a variety of spellings depending on how much that licensor cares about stepping on the BBC trademark. Doctor Whoof, Doctor Hooves, etc. Edited March 29, 2014 by Fhaolan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,692 March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 Welcome to the forums! Doctor Whooves is a real puzzle to solve, I think it's because the fans saw a pony that resembled David Tennant who was the doctor at the time. Anyway, enjoy your stay! 1 Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adorkable 2,737 March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 Hi! And Welcome to the forums! Dr. Whooves is a background pony named by the fans because he has a couple of slight references or similar traits to the Dr. Who television show. ^^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaoios 1,970 March 31, 2014 Share March 31, 2014 Welcome to the forums, friend. I don't know much about Dr. Hooves, but he is supposed to resemble one of the doctors from BBC's Doctor Who. I've seen a few episodes myself, but not really into it, tbh.
