I wish we knew why "Hurry" was edited out, it's so weird... from what we know about it, I really can't see any reason they'd cut it... I also wish footage of that sequence would turn up! Hopefully one day.
Actually, I've noticed something funny about the RaMC title cards too, there are at least two versions of them...From what I could tell when I noticed it (a few years ago), the older DVD releases had the title cards say "Escape from Midnight Castle" for both parts. The original TV airings (?) had "Rescue" for part one and "Escape" for part two, I think? And the Shout Factory release has "Rescue" for both.. I hadn't noticed the "Midnicht" typo before though. Do you know what release that screenshot's from? I've been meaning to make a thread about this title card thing for a while, just haven't found the time.. As for "Hurry", I'm pretty sure last time it came up, people on here confirmed it isn't on any of the VHS releases. I'm not sure about the dubs though.And yeah, that's the weirdest thing about "Hurry", that they seem to have cut it so quickly. The only other time I've seen this happen is with a scene in a Rocko's Modern Life ep ("Road Rash") which also seems to have aired once or twice before the offending sequence was permanently edited out/possibly lost... but with that one we at least know why it was censored (too suggestive). But why would they edit out "Hurry"? :s If any of the other songs had been cut out, then I'd just chalk it up to usual TV edits - certainly wouldn't be the only show to get edited for time for the reruns - and say "meh, I guess they just lost the uncut ver of that one, then"... But I've never heard of any of the other eps getting edited, just this one? It's really bizarre.

I remember someone saying that "Hurry" never made it on the VHS releases also. I've heard it was cut for time when Disney Channel got the series but it seems odd to me that they would only cut one song out of the series of MLP and Friends and leave the rest.
