Quote from: Mermaid on November 16, 2019, 10:41:45 PMI wonder if the Rainbow pony special was cancelled or scrapped after RAMC due to it being too scary as well and they went for something softer like escape from Catrina instead? wasn't that animation actually from the TV advert for the rainbow ponies...? I've always assumed there WAS no "rainbow pony special", they just knew they'd be making another MLP cartoon in the future (or thought it was a safe enough bet that they would, lol) and used that animation because it was new/handy/whatever.

Also a little more explanation about exactly what "old MLP cartoons" Faust watched where ponies "didn't go on adventures and lived in cupcake houses in a meadow" as G1 MLP ponies went on many adventures. The episode showed clips from Tales during that segment but that was probably done because it fit with what Faust was saying. I would have also liked a little balance on RAMC as even though everyone was saying that wasn't what they had in mind. Couldn't they find at least one person who said it might not have been what thy expected but they enjoyed or that it was more popular than they thought it would be?
The rainbow pony animation is from the TV ad for rainbow Ponies. I always find it interesting that it shows 2 rainbow ponies sliding down the rainbow and rainbow ponies jumping off the cliff. Maybe they used some of the animation from RAMC for inspiration for the ad. Ponyfan

I think they broke up that part of the interview with Faust and showed it out of order. She said she was given cartoons to review but it would make sense if they were 3.5 cartoons as that was the show she was suppose to be improving on. Because some point she’s also talking about how she sees Firefly as a ”bad ass” and that’s exactly how Firefly is portrayed on RAMC. Plus, all the dragon fighting, mountain climbing and basic adventures makes it hard to understand how she’s criticizing RAMC as having cupcake houses.
Prince_Sunbeam: Is your pic in the show? wich one is yours? And thanks for the congratulations
The more I hear about these interviews, the less I like them. It really sounds like they were edited to push a certain narrative, like others have said... I'm still not sure if I want to watch this or not. All that stuff about them bashing G2 (insects?!?!?) doesn't exactly thrill me, either.
Overall I'm really happy that they chose MLP to include for an episode. They could have picked so many other toys instead.They didn't seem to focus as much on design details etc as some other episodes, things about prototypes etc. I haven't seen the rest of season 3 yet though so maybe that's just how they're doing this season. More entertainment factor than being informative. The other seasons had a bit more documentary feel but with a bit of humour here and there.

It doesn’t make any sense that Hasbro would have given her any G1 animation to watch but whatever they had been investing in most recently. The show did clip in a picture of the retro DVD set implying that it was G1. But then, to be generous, that may have been the closest DVD they had on hand to film that clip. (I bet they did have to track that down to get clips of early animation for the show) Would they have gone to the trouble of tracking down a DVD of the G3.5? I don’t know, did DVDs of that even exist outside of coming with a toy?But I agree, it would be nice to have these details spelled out. But when they do release a dvd of season 3 I will buy it and let y’all know what extras there are. I’m willing to make that sacrifice 😉
Yes, the very first image in the credits. White bookcases lined with colored lights. I also recognized the photo of your collection and knew it had to be an arena member!
Congrats both of you for the pics at the end! It was fun seeing your collections like that.
