Maybe they did such a bad job on the ponies make up to embarrass them?

Or maybe this scene is just imagined by three pony toys and...Okay Okay i stop with my crazy theory.

Confirmation they're So Soft ponies.

My faves are the ones at our local videostore from childhood--  Magic Coins, Bright Lights and Quest of the Princess Ponies.  And Tambelon, of course (that tape turned up later at the store), but the first 3, we must have hired them a hundred times and eventually bought them when the store closed down!

'Oh for a Rainy Day' has got to be one of my favourite pony songs, from the Magic Coins.  (That episode seems to be considered the best of the series, it's such a great story and beautifully made!)

I also loved the one with the first tooth babies having to babysit (not sure if that was Ice Cream Wars or the Prince and the Ponies, it's been many years since I watched them!)  I had two younger sisters who I had to babysit at the time and I thought the song was funny

And of course the Golden Horseshoes featured Mimic

I found it a bit weird seeing the episodes we didn't see as kids for the first time as an adult, not having the nostalgia of seeing though a kid's eyes.  The early ones, RaMC and Escape from Catrinwere the exceptions, they're amazing, but even ones like Somnambula, Mish Mash Melee and the Glass Princess were a bit odd to me.  The childhoood ones will forever be branded on my heart, though

I love this pic, I need to check this episode out.

Makes me wonder if this is how my ponies feel when they get a wash+dry

Crunch the Rockdog
The Magic Coins and
Sonambula

Are my top 3 favorites.  . I'm a big Wind Whistler fan, so that should explain the first two.  I also the boys.

I still always find it funny how badly they react to the drought in the Magic Coins, though.  Like, they're dying of thirst and Megan's idea is to sing.  .  You know how much saliva you use up by singing? 

This might be why they shouldn't always listen to Megan.

Chelsea7, the Glass Princess screen shots PonyFan supplied here are before their makeover began to go bad...it's a fun scene for us, terrible scene for the poor ponies! 

My impression was the purpose was to prepare the hair for harvest, the dyes are obvious later in the weaving.  I wondered too about the makeup...seemed to serve only to humiliate them, and they certainly felt humiliated afterwards!

Here's a couple more screenshots after their hair wash/makeup was done.

Porcina didn't think their hair was clean enough to be used for her cloak so that's why she ordered the Raptorians to put them in through the wash machine before they cut it but the curling/makeup scene was probably just to humiliate the ponies or to show them that the Raptorians could do anything they wanted with them or it could have been just to make the scene longer.

RaMC was great! Firefly is such an awesome character, it kind of makes me bummed out that I don't really like RD in G4, since she was based off of Firefly..
I also really liked the art style for RaMC, it stinks they changed it

I really, really enjoyed Somnambula. The BB Ponies were great!! And the plot was genuinely kind of eerie, and having the ponies drawn aged like that was genuinely unnerving, especially for a kids cartoon

The Return of Tambelon- great because of its dark story/ unicorns are the focus (my favorite)

Lastly, Baby It's Cold Outside- for Galaxy, of course.

It's funny that Galaxy is my favorite pony in my collection, but she's honestly my favorite character in the show!
I feel like I can relate to her because out of my group of friends I am always the one to "sense" if something is wrong, or will go wrong, and I tend to be adventurous and brave at times ^^

My love for MLP was largely encouraged by the Movie...my poor mum and dad had to rent that from the video store every other week for me and I remember several tearful afternoons going home because some other little girl was lucky to have rented it

So that will always be the one I recommend above everything else - I love it!
