This was my favorite growing up and still is. I remember after I started collecting as an adult (actually my late teens) I went to the local video rental place and asked if they still had that video with the intention of buying it. I did eventually find it online. I still have a vcr and pop it in every once and a while. Ahhh, the nostalgia! I really really hope that Basic Fun! takes the suggestion of releasing the uncut version on DVD. I'm very concerned that one day my vcr will eat the tape.

Maybe Tirek knew that the Rainbow of Light was his nemesis and that he needed to destroy it before the ponies worked out how to use it (by summoning a human with opposable thumbs able to open the locket)? Ok, reaching a bit now, but...still?...Maybe it was one of those self-defeating prophecies.Tirek: "Tell me what I want to know, soothsayer, or a head will roll. Your caretaker's!"Soothsayer (understandably peeved): "Your eternal night will only come about if you have four Little Ponies, turned into draft-dragons, to pull your Chariot of Midnight. Oh, and take Scorpan with you. And make sure there's a pile of hay on the roof."Tirek: "A pile... of..."Soothsayer: "DARE YOU QUESTION THE WISDOM OF ONE WHO CAN SEE THE FUTURE?! And don't let the door hit you on the way out."

That's really interesting! I wonder how far they had gotten in production before the change in direction. There are these video covers which are in a style sort of in between Rescue at Midnight Castle and Escape from Catrina, and feature among other things a Danny-looking boy riding an adult winged Spike. (And Firefly, Megan and Moochick are all there!)visitors can't see pics , please register or loginThese do imply there was some sort of story behind them. Possibly concept art for the special that would follow Rescue at Midnight Castle?
Finally,I loved Megan's countrygirl design (hated the frilly crap she had to wear in the later series)

Ballet flats were in vogue in the 80's, and are considered active wear. Might be more comfortable on a long walk than stiff, heeled leather boots.Still can't find any reason for the frilly overalls. Especially since the outfit it was designed after wasn't that frilly.

They can leave nasty, deep bruises. Boots are good for hiking and riding.

Nooo I always hike in my active wear ballerinas I can't stop laughing!Seriously, Megan's dumb outfit was not designed to be practical. She was supposed to be a fashion doll and that's why.
