80s MLP Animation Production Material

No luck yet on my end looking for the origins of those cels.

End of Flutter Valley Part 4 up.

Ohh thank you!! This is one of my favourite parts, I love this ep

"A dozen or so SQUEAKY FURBOBS"

I just noticed one of the Bushwoolies is called "Pleaser" here. Another early name? :o In the final ep only Hugster/Chumster/Wishful are named in dialogue... I wonder who Pleaser was renamed to. Friendly?

As an aside, I love how this ep actually tried to give the Bushwoolies individual personalities/characters, it's weird how it's the only ep that really did that though... Especially since they're meant to be the Princess Bushwoolies (same names, at least) but then come the Princess Pony ep they've got no personalities, names, etc :/

Also the Furbobs have a lottttt more limbs in the boards, lol. Maybe simplified down to make them easier to animate?

Just a fun little three pages I've spotlighted on my tumblr: the use of comic book sound effects on Ghost Of Paradise Estate: https://www.tumblr.com/sunbowmarvelarchive/732718608574283776/my-little-pony-n-friends-1986?source=share

I do have a color chart here with a few names:

Though in the attitude pages they are only listed as #1, #2, etc.


Those furbobs remind me of Grubby from Teddy Ruxpin.

Oh I hadn't seen those models before! Curiouser and curiouser, that one has the fourth Bushwoolie labelled as "Catcher". another new name! and I just checked and it looks like the little dude got cut for the final anyway, EoFV only uses the first 3 (at least according to my old notes... Catcher's in Tambelon though).

I definitely feel like there's a story here. They only used those particular Bushwoolie colours/models in a few eps (and the opening), the names and personalities were used in _one_ episode, one of them's apparently gone through two names and neither match any of the Princess Bushwoolies, and none of them look at all like the Princess attendants anyway. What the heck was going on behind the scenes regarding the Bushwoolies?!?

Flutter Valley part 9 up.

[Ponyfan]

is the last one definitely MLP? My first thought was Potato Head Kids, but looking at the opening for that again I can't see anything that matches :s

for release dates, I'd just keep in mind that plans can change between production and final release... I think definitely add any new info you have but maybe keep the old/current info somewhere accessible too? I dunno.

Here are the images embedded:

edit: I just checked and the nursery isn't from Catrina. I thought it might be from the scene where Rep kidnaps Baby MD, and the lighting pretty much matches up, but they don't show an exterior shot of the building in that scene :s

That shot DOES ring a bell though, it has the rainbow logo above the door and I don't think that was in most episodes. I'll keep looking.

Could that last cell be early concept art of Flutter Valley when they show the flutter ponies hiding in their homes when Megan and the others first arrive?

Return of Tambelon Part 4 up.

In addition to the PDFs on the main show page, I'm nearly finished putting up storyboard galleries for all sets at: https://sunbowmarvelarchive.blogspot.com/p/storyboard-viewing-gallery.html

oooh, I could see that being the case :o They do look similar to the little flutter houses. It being concept art would explain the slightly different style too.

Very excited to check out the newest storyboards whenever I get a spare five mins

Greeby - the galleries are amazing!!

This link isn't working - it says I need access?

[Rhaegar]

Try now.

[Carrehz]

Working now, thank you! <3

Oh man hearing Judith Barsi's audition hit hard. ;_;

Rosedust's "we wish only to be left alone" line is a bit longer here and there's a couple more Molly lines - also Fizzy's Tirac line is still in there - otherwise there's no significant differences between this and the final dialogue.

edit: omg omg the Flutter Valley pt 9 boards have some more flirting between Morning Glory and Sting that got cut from the final version
asdfghjkl
also a v. cute sequence with the flutters + Sting washing the honey off their wings, probably cut to fit the song in

the Tambelon boards are such a delight! Love the art style. And I'm so thrilled we have the boards for one of the best songs in the show too ^^
Also damn keeping a track of all the characters in this one must've been a nightmare.

Having issues embedding these but the below three post-its were attached to one of the storyboards. I won't put putting these on archive so grab them here if you want them.

That's all the storyboards. Next will be attitudes, commercials and a large quantity of misc designs and other things. I just need to figure out what episodes they all came from.

I also have a third and final (for now) movie audition reel including Danny you'll see at some point.
