I really wanted to like the first tooth baby ponies, because I love Quackers, and wish adult Bouncy was that soft shade of yellow underneath the flock, and the idea and the accessories and everything, but they are just somehow wrong, and I don't know why. Maybe they should be a bit bigger, since they have more adult propotions than baby ponies. They just don't look right next to other ponies.

Shouldn't there have been an adult somewhere in the nursery?

Wildshadow has a copy of the MLP and Friends show bible and she's posted pics from it before - I have a feeling one of them said something about avoiding depicting "mother/child" relationships between the baby ponies and their corresponding mum pony (i.e. the writers were supposed to just leave that vague/avoid bringing it up.. I guess cause it might open up awkward questions, like where/who their dads are? :p) but I might be misremembering that. I know they did do stuff like that once or twice ("Bright Lights", like you mentioned) but on the whole they did seem to kind of side-step the issue.
No offense, but it kinda irritates me that people believe the G1 cartoons had little impact on kids and that we were only about the toys. Some of us did watch cartoons and were influenced by it.

Some of us did watch cartoons and were influenced by it.If the cartoon had no impact they would have stopped doing cartoons. What I like about G1 is that it had so many canons and you could follow one or more and they'd be all legit.Germany had the Pony n Friends cartoon, the back cards and the story tapes. I mostly grew up with the story tapes, so to me Firefly was a boy until I saw RaMC when I was already an adult and my mind was blown (positively so beause in the German story tapes a lot of active girl characters were turned into boys, such as Gusty and Firefly).The back cards would have them as girls but... I couldn't read

According to my G1 guidebook, they were intended to be even younger than the newborn baby ponies. I... I'm sorry, exactly HOW do you get younger than a newborn?? Are they fetus ponies?!
