What error stands out to you the most in the My Little Pony cartoons?

Okay, this is more of a plot error than an animation error, but if the Stonebacks were really just misunderstood, then why did they chew through the rope bridge that the ponies were on?  Was it some kind of crazy test?  "We'd love to be friends with you.  But only if you are metal enough to survive falling to your probable doom."[/quote]

Princess Primrose's blue mane and red tail in Quest of the Princess Ponies.

That bothered me through the whole show

Here's my biggest issue:
Why is magic star a Pegasus in the opening intro? That always bugged me!

Also the ever changing bushwoolie colors and addition of sleeves then the next scene the sleeves would be gone!

This made me laugh so much I know right? Apparently they want to be friends but first they destroy a bridge with them on?

And yes to the bushwoolie sleeves too. I could almost cope with it episode to episode...but not when it does it in the same episode lol

I think this is one of the fundamental reasons why Rescue at Midnight Castle is my absolute best episode.
The style of animation is superb and there are little to no errors.
I only wish they had done the whole two first seasons in this style.
 

Yeah, the only animation error I can think of in RaMC is Medley briefly becoming Firefly when she's laughing over Firefly crashing into Applejack.  I didn't even notice the first few times I watched it.

Yes! The first My Little Pony TV Special is wonderful and aside from the small issue Lady Moondancer mentioned I don't think there are any errors. It's a very very nicely done special. Of course it predates the cartoon by two years and I assume had a completely different animation and story-writing team.

... the ponies are escaping from something...

aren't they pretty much always escaping from something? hahahahaa!!! I saw this and just had to laugh!! I think my next set of days off when I want to veg out I'll just grab all my little pony episodes and indulge.

Ha ha! True, true!

Hahaha, in the opening song! When the ponies are rolling down the hill? One pony rolls right over a bend in the river, hovering over it to continue on the land.

It's still making me giggle. Rescue the ponies from this, escape from that, get help out of a trap, prison break...pooooor ponies. Always on the run.

I can only think of a few episodes that didn't have at least one pony captured/trying to escape. I guess they wanted most of the episodes to end with you not knowing how things would turn out unless you watched the next episode.

In The Ghost of Paradise Estate Baby Heart Throb goes to get Megan and when Megan opens the door Baby Heart Throb is suddenly Baby Lofty.
