STRAP YOURSELF IN, animation errors ahoy!!!
To me the most blatant one was Princess Primrose's tail being red though MULTIPLE EPISODES of "Quest of the Princess Pony." Like, really? No one questioned that? WHY IS IT RED? And I could understand more if they made all her hair red, but her mane is colored correctly!
At one point in Bright Lights the mayor and sheriff mice of a town decide to go with the ponies.
Sheriff Mouse
Sheriff Mouse becomes a different mouse for no reason
Different mouse character(still should be Sherriff Mouse) changes into another mouse character.
Gusty has hands :lol: This even more amusing given the fact that in another thread we were talking about how many times Hasbro forgot ponies don't have hands.
I'm not sure if this is a true error or not. It looks like North Star has an extra leg but it could just be the way the next is drawn over her body.
Today the part of Wind Whistler will be played by Hippety Hop...
I never thought about how far their heads are supposed to turn.
I found another one from "Ice Cream Wars"
Sniffles and Snookums are supposed to be pink

I am way more worried about the eyes in this image on the right.
Yeah, anyone know the story behind The Golden Horseshoes' animation? It looks sooo different, especially the first episode of it IIRC?They may have exported it to a different animation studio. Reminds me of when Animaniacs would export to this one animation studio that...didn't have the same quality standards as the others. Their episodes stand out quite well.
I kind of liked the animation better in the Golden Horseshoes . . . It was wonky and off model for sure. But it seemed to have more emotion? And was a bit more cinematic than usual, with lots of varying "camera" angles and even shading in some scenes. Like, usually MLP & Friends was just kind of visually bright and simple and shot from "the side" regardless of what was happening on the screen.
I remember the "All Through the Night" song in particular being really dark and moody. I kinda wish that company had done the whole show . . .
That said, it had some really obvious animation errors, like Megan getting off a pegasus and her arm morphing right through the pony's wing, LOL.
Note the drumstick. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "you'll have someone's eye out with that."
Clearly lesson learned too late.

Tiffany is flying Megan back to Royal Paradise but when the Princess Ponies, Spike and the bushwoolies fall through the wall and are recaptured Tiffany is with them.
Her symbol is definitely Royal Blue/Sapphire's moon crescent, so she just grew a white horn.Tiffany is flying Megan back to Royal Paradise but when the Princess Ponies, Spike and the bushwoolies fall through the wall and are recaptured Tiffany is with them.
And Princess Ruby is a sausage-pony. Look how far away her tail is compared to her body.
Also, I think that the miscoloured Amethyst/Sparkle/"Lilac" is actually Sapphire with an unexpected white horn attached? O.o.

Heads and bodies different colors

Pegasus Magic Star!
Occasionally the bushwoolies will have skinny, striped arms in MLP & Friends. Almost like they are wearing shirt sleeves or something? Like, one of them has an argyle pattern. I'm not 100% sure, but I think they also appear this way in the opening sequence.
She was also a pegasus for a split second in the movie. When Wind Whistler and "North Star" return to Dreamvalley with Megan, Molly and Danny; when they're coming down to land, Magic Star is alongside Wind Whistler instead of North Star. I think that her and Truly were intended to be pegasi, but Hasbro changed it at the last minute. If I remember correctly, Truly was a pegasus in the final song of The Magic Coins; she and another pegasus push clouds together to form a pink heart (I could be mixing up episodes here, but she was definitely portrayed as a pegasus several times). It made sense to me as well, with her symbol being a dove in flight.
Speaking of Jem, I'm sure you will be able to spot some familiar character models in this scene from G1 Transformers episode "B.O.T.".

Yes. And they are in high school. Clearly those are all high school aged human beings. This school is indeed truly, truly, truly outrageous. :P
How to promote the whole range of the Flutter Ponies in a few seconds of animation. It's Lily...no it's Peach Blossom...no, Honeysuckle...gotta catch em all!I'm honestly surprised that no user here has mentioned 'The Ice Cream Wars' yet in this regard - even as a kid, the most entertaining part of the (otherwise pretty malaise) episode was watching as the four First Tooth babies suddenly changed to five (with Baby Bouncy randomly teleporting into the scenery for no apparent reason), then back to four (with Baby Quackers abruptly transfigured into Baby Tic Tac Toe), then all six suddenly being present during the climax. It's such a conspicuous error, and what mystifies me a greater deal is how one explains this. Yes, the relatively uniform pony character models would certainly have played a role in the 'transfiguration', but the number of characters suddenly shifting between scenes (translation errors/miscommunication on Sunbow's part leading to AKOM botching several key details)?

Yep, that was so good of an error that i took a screenshot of it (by the way thanks for reminding me where it came from).How to promote the whole range of the Flutter Ponies in a few seconds of animation.

Isn't there also 2 Baby Lickety Splits at one point?
Yep, that was so good of an error that i took a screenshot of it (by the way thanks for reminding me where it came from).NO! One is more than enough.

It got too cold for Truly (being a delicate Southern Belle and all, so the rest of the episode used Sundance because she was Truly's stunt double.Even without speaking she's more interesting than Truly, so i really don't mind it.
Limited Edition Lullabye Nursery, Taobao variant, Paradise Estate add-on...? Who knows!They just lost their nursery and replaced it with part of paradise estate, nothing to see here.

Dat face. :P
This one looks okay until you look really closely at Heart Throb and realize Hasbro forgot to add something important

The drumstick strikes again.
That Gusty screenshot is really funny. :rofl:
Here's a couple more both from "Bright Lights

Has North Star decided to try to eat the mouse trap bar?
That was the surprise in her balloons all along: ants.
She never said it was a good surprise!
I also find it worrying how much Surprise's symbol looks like squashed ants in the Rainbow Caper screenshots. At least when she's leg swapping in the snow (great optical illusion actually for the animators!) her symbol looks like balloons again.

:rofl: Now I can’t stop picturing her badly drawn balloons as squashed ants or ants hiding in her balloons
I wonder why the animators chose to draw her balloons that way in that scene of Rainbow Caper.

Maybe the last two just demonstrate how useless Megan is at sea pony first aid.
"Quick, the lifebelts!"
"Er, Megan, the problem is they have NO water..."
Maybe the inner tubes hold environmental equipment that stabilizes them for a bit.
The Magic Coins seemed to be animated by different teams who alternated between episodes.
