Title: G1 animation items (UPDATED-PICS page 5!)
Post by: Wildshadow on April 29, 2012, 04:44:01 PM
My addiction for the original MLP "My Little Pony 'n Friends" show and animation has me addicted to trying to acquire things from the show and the movie.  This is about such items I have attained over time =3
 
I've had these certain items for a few years, the newest are the two photos which I got from Trader Tif at the MLP Fair in Kentucky, which I'm so happy I bought it. Danny is one of my obsessions and have to get things that has him in some form ^.^

The oldest in the above picture is the two legal size xerox copy packets. One is the background layouts and the other is of the characters. Including structure, mouth movements, attitudes and so forth.

Not sure when I got the MLP Movie program thing (what to call it?) It has an envelope with some glossy black and white photos in it and 5 packets which include: Synopsis, Background Notes, Credits, About the Cast and About the Producers.

Where I saw the first time, the kids last name...  Wasn't too sure about their last name until I was able to recently win this:

The Writer's Guide.
 
So happy I was able to win it, it goes awesome with my other things ^.^ It was a very interesting read, this was one of my favorite things X D

My camera battery went out before I could take pictures of the parts with Megan, Danny and Molly's last name. So I'll add those soon!

That program would be called a press kit! I used to collect them for awhile, they're a lot of fun. You have a great collection, and AHHHH a writer's bible/guide!?!!! That's awesome.  (I'm a huge screenwriting nerd...)..So jealous.

Oh, these are so cool! I really like that writer's guild booklet explaining what they were going for with the tone of the movie!

Now I must know their last name. I'm desperate. Anyway. I am so jealous of you.

LETS TRY THIS AGAIN!!.....
 
That program would be called a press kit! I used to collect them for awhile, they're a lot of fun. You have a great collection, and AHHHH a writer's bible/guide!?!!! That's awesome.  (I'm a huge screenwriting nerd...)..So jealous.

Thanks so much! Now it won't bug me anymore! = D
 
Lets see if I can get this all written up again T.T
Like in my un-posted post... this will be very ANTI CLIMATIC!  X D
 
But first! The some of the intro to the Writer's Guide:

Okay enough with having my fun with this and making it boring =P
 
I read the last name first in the MLP Movie Press Kit, but I wasn't sure if it was fact or just random substance o.O When I got the Writer's Guide and saw that the last name was mentioned (quite a few times), then I knew it was FOR REALS! X D
 
DUN DUN DUUUNNNNN!

It was odd to read thru the Guide and have their last name mentioned to represent them as a whole = D

Now more random stuff!

This is from the auction, of the character Lickety-Split:

Hey, this stuff is very interesting! Thanks for sharing some of it. Williams? Who would have guessed? Also I love the very last part of that last photo you posted, where they describe Mr. Moochick as 'leprechaun-like' hah. 

Also, it's pretty funny; just a bit earlier today I was pondering how old Megan was supposed to be. I randomly guessed 12. Close!

THAT IS AMAZING!!!!  Congratulations on getting such amazing merchandise!!  Please let me know if you ever have time to take pictures of the entire Sunbow Writer's Guide, I would be happy to transcribe the whole thing for the MLP community!


EDIT:  DEAR PONY GOD, we know Megan's age and last name now!!! *flips out*


DOUBLE EDIT:  Snow ponies and Little Burros.   :frolic:

Snow Ponies?!

Haha, I think they only meant that making Ponyland ridiculously diverse gave them an "out" in case the toy line introduced any new kind of pony that wouldn't fit in the normal locale.

Oh I saw that guide on ebay...fantastic that it has stayed in the community and is with someone with such a fab collection! Congrats

And Williams...well at least we know now! Fantastic!

One of the coolest MLP items i have seen in a long time. Im extremely jealous, what a unique and rare MLP item to own!

Post by: Elisto on April 30, 2012, 04:59:48 AM
I said it before, but AWESOME!! And I'm so excited to see not just that Megan has a last name, but that the ponies really do live literally "over the rainbow!" I always wondered if that was what they were going for! I do hope you'll consider sharing more! There are a few TV series I know of where fans have bought the production Bibles and shared scans of them...it's always really cool to see what the aim and goals were, and how they differed from the final product.
Title: Re: G1 animation items (UPDATED-PICS 2page!)
Post by: Evening_Moonstone on April 30, 2012, 05:34:49 AM
What a fantastic find!

"Snow Ponies and Little Burros"!  And we know Megan's last name and age at last!
I love the personality description for Lickety Split... that's what I would be interested in seeing more of (if you decide to photograph more of your materials) - the personalities and write-ups on the other ponies. :)

Thanks for sharing!
Title: Re: G1 animation items (UPDATED-PICS 2page!)

Awwww, I would have loved some Snow Ponies and Little Burros!   :lovey:   Thanks so much for sharing these!

How cool is that! And actually relieved to know Megan and her siblings surname! That bugged me so much when I was a kid lol.
Title: Re: G1 animation items (UPDATED-PICS 2page!)
Post by: sweetstuff on April 30, 2012, 08:46:30 AM
Wow, that is just amazing!


I find it funny that LS  is pretty much a pony  counterpart to Grumpy Bear.


And Williams - how about that! I love that you shared that trivia bit with us.

Snow Ponies - hmmm.... now that I would have like to seen, though I think Remco beat  MLP with the burros  :P
Title: Re: G1 animation items (UPDATED-PICS 2page!)
Post by: Betelgeuse on April 30, 2012, 02:15:40 PM
Megan's last name is Williams!!!???
I am very confused. All this time I didn't know and I even have a character who's first name is Williams...
O_o are you sure it wasn't mentioned in the series somewhere it's self? or was it coincidence?
Is there anything about Rescue at Midnight Castle in that book?
Title: Re: G1 animation items (UPDATED-PICS 2page!)
Post by: Malicieuse on April 30, 2012, 02:24:27 PM
Now that is just awesome. I would love to read more of it!
Also, i sure wish we could have seen some "snow ponies". : )
Title: Re: G1 animation items (UPDATED-PICS 2page!)
Post by: Bag of Magic Food on April 30, 2012, 06:01:26 PM
How do I view the Lickety-Split page at full size?  Clicking on it brought me to a "Mobile Photobucket" page, but the image there was still small.

Me too, I would imagine very furry like a so-soft, and maybe tinsel hair? Wish there could have been a third G1 season. :)

Post by: VanillaBean on May 01, 2012, 02:31:58 AM
This is really interesting stuff. I love the G1 series to death. xD
I'm pleasantly surprised at the amount of effort they put into character profiles. Sure, the ponies aren't as complex as FiM, but each one has a distinct personality, & they do play off each other nicely. :)
Thanks for sharing, I'd love to see more character stuff!  ^.^

Thanks! And I'll think about it, heh. It's still new to me where I'm "MY PRECIOUS! -hoard-" on some of the info X D

O_o are you sure it wasn't mentioned in the series somewhere it's self? or was it coincidence?

I don't understand what you mean ^^""

Not much is mentioned about the two specials, only if the writer needed to see them, that the company could send the tapes for the writer to watch. and some mention about the villains. Nothing detailed.


Anyway!
With reading the responses, I'll post a few more pictures from the guide ^.^  haven't a chance to scan them, but take pictures of them is all I can do for now ^^"

Awesome just awesome! Take care of this stuff... if we ever get a MLP museum this should be in it!

I saw the auction on ebay but bidding got a bit out of my range. Plus the fear of it getting damaged in my care would just leave me sleepless. lol


Side note: ..... I DID watch Miami Vice!  :blush:

Sorry, I ramble cryptically sometimes. I thought maybe Megan mentioned what her last name was somewhere in the series, prompting me to create an "easter egg" in my own series when I was younger (which I often did.) my memory is very bad.
Info on the villains? as in the official spelling of Tirac's name perhaps? :blink:

I didn't get a chance to photograph it, but I looked and it's spelled the same way. I will get a photo for you anyway so you can see for yourself ^.^


Thanks for more pictures! I desperately cannot wait the arrival of more character pages! How many total are there? This is probably one of the coolest MLP things I have EVER seen! Is it One of a kind?

There is 80 pages in the Guide. 49 of them are character profiles, well minus 2 or 3 pages that are labeled as being omitted/deleted, where they took the character out.

Not sure how many there are, or how many writers they sent the packets to. I won the auction from one of the Story Editor's, Martin Pasko.
 
Lets hope I can get some photos tonight...

This is a great find and the reason I came here.  I've been a fan of the old show and seeing the thinking behind it is awesome.  The fact some of the ponies' characters sheets came out on my first birthday is also interesting.  Please tell me you'll show more.

I'll post more soon, I so need to get a scanner working, taking pictures of them is hard D=

I'll have Megan's character sheet and the ages of Danny and Molly. Also list of characters and just guess which ones are probably missing in the characters profiles X D

I'm glad your still doing it.  Here's hoping you get a working scanner.

My guess for missing characters are Sundance and Lily.  Just please tell me it isn't Wind Whistler and Fizzy.  I so want to see their profiles.

Post by: Nonnavlis on May 23, 2012, 03:08:41 PM
Wow this is some really cool stuff! I especially love the pony profiles where they have a bit of script (presumably) for auditioning VAs.

Even if you don't share it with the community, you should make a private transcription of it all. It would be a dreadful loss if anything were to happen to it. If you had a digital transcription you could always re-print any pages that get damaged, etc, just in case. After all, I'm sure there's not many of these around!

Yay.  I've been spelling it right all along.  Can you get a picture of the full page?

Poor Megan.  This plan probably looked real good on paper.  However, they ended up making her into a Wesley Crusher before there was a Wesley Crusher.

EDIT:  I'VE BEEN SMOOZED!!!

Oh my gosh, they mentioned MAJESTY!!  Ha ha, that is awesome but so crazy--she never appeared in any of the cartoons!  Peachy too!  Poor Peachy, so close and yet so far.

Thanks for the pictures, these are just so COOL.

Also, I have been spelling Tirac's name wrong this whole time!!

Awesomesauce!! :D :D


After nearly twenty years, all those mysteries regarding the show are being revealed to us! It's so amazing! :D


One question: is it possible for you to scan all the character designs present in the workprint? I'm asking because I (and I bet most of the people out there) am a huge sucker for those. :)


You know what would be great? If Hasbro released a MLP guidebook, containing all the character models and concept artwork for both the toys and animated series alike - from all the generations. I'd buy that imediatelly. :)

I have to wonder if Majesty was dropped because they wanted to make Megan the ponies' den mother and them having a queen who actually knew what she was doing would get in the way of that.  HASBRO Y U DO THAT 2 US?!

Megan's 13? Hahaha, I always thought she was supposed to be maybe 15, despite how she dressed! And funny, they mentioned Peachy as one of the Earth Ponies; does she ever actually show up, even in the background? I don't think so, but she really is everywhere haha.

Also, wow, I've been spelling Tirac "Tirek" all this time....oops! I have a friend who may want to know for his fanfic....

Oh, btw, I was thinking, maybe if you want to make scan available for people to read, you can find a website that would like to host the scans in something like an exclusive content section? I lot of Classic Sonic the Hedgehog sites do that with production materials, like writers guides, that people have...maybe a G1 MLP site would do that if you wanted to?

I also wonder if the inclusion of Majesty meant they were originally going to keep Dream Castle since it was her home and she is the queen.  Why couldn't they have included her?

Well, he uses magic.

It's also confirmed he's  a centaur.

Still want a full view of that page.

Awesome info! I have some great fanfic fodder now!

Ok, I Know it's the official spelling now, and I plan to explain why it's 'Tirek' and not 'Tirac' in my stories.  And I almost regret what I did to Paradise in my stories now T_T

You could just go back and edit it.  That's what I did with Megan's surname and age in my series.

So close! I used "Tirak," but now I know better. lol ^___^ This is all so fascinating!

How fascinating!  Especially to know the kids' ages and surname and to see the character sheets.

Also, this...

should be quoted to the people who act like Lauren Faust was the first person who ever thought about giving depth to little girls' shows and not dumbing them down so much!  It might not have been conveyed very well in the series, but whoever wrote the writer's guide was obviously thinking along the same lines 27 years ago.

Are Truly and Lofty mentioned at all?  Maybe they even have character sheets?   Those two were my very favourite ponies as a child but it looks as though they aren't even mentioned in any of the character lists.  Perhaps they nearly didn't get into the show at all! o_0

How am I just noticing this thread!  What a wonderful piece of MLP history!  Thank you for sharing this information with us :)  It's funny how Lickity Split's profile is essentially Shady's...It's pretty much  "maybe it'll rain and we'll get all wet and catch pnemonia."  Hehe...
Awesome!

Awesome!

I noticed this too!  I wonder if they "switched" Lickety and Shady's personalities before the show began?

Lancer, I thought the same thing--this was an amazingly respectful approach to any cartoon at the time.

I think a lot of "MLP & Friends" scripts would have held up quite well if they'd had the same quality of animation and sound effects as "Rescue at Midnight Castle."  Unfortunately animation is really what catches the eye in . . . well, animated features . . . and "MLP & Friends" was just so buggy compared to RaMC or Escape from Catrina.  I wish I could snap my fingers and give them animation that was worthy of them.

Lickety-Split was also a complainer, but not as bad as Shady.

It's too bad Hasbro didn't give the show the respect (and budget) it deserved.  My Little Pony could have easily stood up there with Transformers and G.I. Joe and even did despite the shoestring budget.  Yes it had some corny plots, but so did those two shows.  Though I would like to see what the other movie example is that gets cut off.

I personally want to see Fizzy and Wind Whistler's character sheets.

Interesting you should mention that, LM.  I was thinking wouldn't it be great if fans who knew flash could reanimate the original series using the original voice, sound, and music tracks?

Nobody gets any more pictures!! >= (

That's cause my computer is sadly being on the fritz and the substitute comp I'm using right now is confusing (from vista to win7 And a whole different type of computer is hard!) D= But yes there is Gingerbread and Fizzy and Wind Whistler and so forth =D

That's always a pain.  I had to find a lot of .dll's to make Win7 work the way I wanted.  That was a few years ago?  Wow.

What's giving you trouble in particular?
