I haven't been able to find the episodes anywhere, but I remember watching it back in the day and loving it
In the Tales eps, it felt less like that. I've said it before and it's been mooted, but I wonder if there was ever an intention to sell the ponies in North America and whether this was animated more for a European audience, because of the prominence of football (albeit admittedly called soccer) and most importantly the inclusion of the "Glowing Magical" ponies. In the US that'd be Glow and Show, but in the UK that's what we called them - Glowing Magic ponies. It's so close that it sounds like they were catering to THIS market, although the show aired in the US as well.
I revisited Tales last year. While some of it was a bit dull or cringey at how heavy handed they were. I still found a lot to enjoy about it. I also got sweet childhood nostalgia. Its my second favorite MLP cartoon. I would love to have Clover, Bon Bon, the Sunbrights, Berrytowns and Patch. (Ha! Yeah right.) My favorite characters are Sweetheart, Clover" Patch and Lancer. Dazzle Glow is my only Tales toy. I'm on the lookout for Star Glow. Its hard to remember that they're Tales characters. Even as a kid I always just saw them as MLP toys.
That's interesting about the Glowing Magic Ponies being in the older comics.Tales being called G2 annoys the crap outta me. Especially since they act like they know more then people who actually grew up with it. I despise retconners, because they only propagate arrogant and willful ignorance.
I never understood the popularity of Teddy and Ace. Ace had a boring design and was relegated to the stuck-up jock role. Teddy was his jerky friend. Starlight is the other brainy one of the group. She really shoulda took her wiser friends advice when they said Ace likes Ace best. Unfortunately, I've only been able to find a few episodes that aren't reviews. So I haven't revisited all of it, and I could never find it in stores when it was released.
The song about the frog is my favourite. It's so sad and yet so cute.
That Dutch Diary pony is such an awesome shade of blue Teddy!
Your ponies are so beautiful! I adore Dutch Diary Pony so much.
i believe theres a full dvd set of tales out there somewhere, by shoutfactory i believe. might get it - don't think they ship to the UK but maybe i can talk my bf into sending me it, lol. i had some tales episodes when i was younger, i loved them i watched it again and the ones i didn't have and still love it.
@Taffeta You could definitely Dazz's toy was comic accurate, considering there are so many variations of her in terms of color, and heart/star distribution. I remember my childhood girl being a darker purple. While my adult one is sorta pinkish-purple. That couldjust be aging though.
