The animators 100% did not care, they were animation studios who churned out massive amounts of animation for Sunbow and made lots of hilarious animation errors along the way. Like, one Optimus Prime would be holding something up and a second Optimus Prime would run out and catch something. To be fair, I think it would be hard to stay enthused about a job that consisted of "draw something, then draw the same thing in a slightly different pose, then draw it AGAIN in a slightly different pose" and so on.Yes some transformers one are epic..Like the optimus without a mouth, the autobot soundwave or the giant ironhide and tiny ratchet.But yes, i know that they didn't care:i'm just sharing what i was thinking because it seemed funny to me.
Although I think the Heart Throb shot there was done for comedy's sake.
Anyway, I too often think about how an episode could be changed or improved. It's half the fun! ;)
I don't think there was a single overt fat joke made throughout the episode (yes, Porcina is pretty big, but to be fair, pigs aren't exactly known for being svelte), and Porcina doesn't magically become "truly beautiful" at the end, either -- she just stops becoming overly obsessed with her appearance and gains a group of friends who accept her regardless of her looks.
I rarely see the mistakes. I'm too busy being an excited little kid again. :blush:

This for me too :) Its just about enjoying the cartoon...I can happily overlook any errors.
The issue with the animation was the same faced by many in the 80's. The Real Ghostbusters DVD collection actually described the joy that was the animation process. Animation scripts were written up in the U.S. and shipped to Japan and Korea where they had to be translated and handed over the staff at Toei and AKOM. Then they had to animate everything by hand which was hard enough. Then film was airmailed to the U.S. for quality checks, and if they had any complaints, they had to airmail them back to Asia for them to be done over again. The quality control process was so costly and time-consuming, they let a lot of errors slide because correcting them wasn't worth it.
As for the Glass Princess, it's completely garbage. I declared it the worst episode of G1 MLP when I reviewed the series. It's boring, stupid, and insulting. Basically everything bad My Little Pony is accused of being is from this episode aside from tea parties because there was never a tea party in this series.
Through the Door was a bad car accident and the Ice Cream Wars was a Trump Rally. "The Glass Princess" was like watching a adorable little puppy being drowned and "The End of Flutter Valley" was a zombie.The issue with the animation was the same faced by many in the 80's.

Nonsense! Through the Door and The Ice Cream Wars were the worst of the bunch.

I think Michael Reaves was trying to strike a middle ground between her just falling for her rescuer and leaving him in the dust.
