I did not know any of the ponies featured in the special actually existed until the Internet became a thing. I thought Firefly was the only one as she came with the video that I promptly lobbied for my parents to buy. Hasbro marketing at its finest! lol
I've always through Megan's outfit made much more sense in RaMC. The later outfits were so floofy. You're flying over a rainbow to a world filled with magical talking ponies to help fight off evil wizards and creatures of darkness. Jeans and boots are so much more sensible than frilly cotton overalls and slip-on loafers.I was always disappointed to find versions with A Little Piece Of Rainbow cut out. It's my favorite of the pony songs. The line, "I put it in the flower bed. It's how I am, I plan ahead," amuses me every time. I can sing the whole thing without music. I always feel so bad for the rabbit, he tries so hard to get the Moochick's attention.
I rented this ALLLL the time on VHS as a kid in the early 00s. The VHS was the only mlp cartoon I knew of at the time, so had a hard time finding a copy of it online after the rental shop closed in 2005. I called it the mlp movie, and knew it had dragons. I got a bootleg dvd on ebay that had the dragons on the back, g2 art on the menu, and the ending credits got cut off early, but it was MLP The Movie, not Midnight Castle. I still haven't found a hard copy of it, just on youtube. The Sea Pony song is my favourite song of alp MLP, mainly because it's so catchy.I love how the plot suggests that kidnapping is ok for a good cause. Megan is taken by surprise and abducted against her will. During Firefly's flight, Megan is convinced she can help, but she said next to useless against the dragons. Seriously, what was Megan actually useful for, besides having fingers to open the Rainbow of Light?Also, it seemed to be too scary for girls and too cute for boys, but that's why I loved it as a kid.As a kid, I had Firefly and my sister had Medley, which seemed fitting.

I've heard of people bringing up the possibility of her being killed, though I wonder if she was just less important in the US than in the UK comics, where she's in pretty much every single issue there is.As a kid in the US, when I heard that Majesty came within the castle, I thought it was such a random choice, if not for her name. She seemed rather unimportant in the show.

I FINALLY FOUND IT! What I meant so show in my last post.Tony Randall with Moochick cut out:Spoilervisitors can't see pics , please register or loginI thought it was a fake when I got it because there was printed red numbers on it that I didn't see in the auction, but when I finally got the other Escape From Catrina packet, they had info about the first special and had a photo of the same thing in it! (But I still think I got a copy of the photo anyway =P ) I've got lots to share with Catrina when we get to it OKAY back in time for me, I got to rent this from Blockbuster in the early 90's, the only MLP tape I ever had was the Magic Horseshoes with Mimic. Besides the ones taped as a kid, but I wouldn't find those until later. Anyway, so I watched it and I was so excited and I watched it again and again. I ended up kind of tired of it after watching it for two days but I still loved it. I think by that time I thought to start memorizing it and such =PI love Moochick's song a LOT. I get tickled every time he goes "UGH A BUG!" Pure magic for me And EVERY TIME I ask my mom 'Whatcha looking for?" I have the urge to go 'Mr. Moochick?" =PI also remember singing 'Dancing On Air' into a fan to hear the weirdness in it X DUm what else.... I do like the dark elements and the animation is very awesome. Now I got to watch it again in full! I haven't in awhile, but I guess I'll have to watch the Moochick part on youtube =PUgh still feels like I'm missing something to say about it... Anyway, the writer's guide calls him 'centaur-like wizard TIRAC' = D

Where DID that haystack come from? I mean, yes, clearly from convenient writing, but it makes no logistical sense. He's not going to feed the ponies hay, he's turning them into dragons and will feed them darkness. Or other ponies. If it's bedding, then it would be in the cells or in a storage room, not stored on a castle where the wind can blow it away.
Why don't we have toys of Scorpan, Tirek, Moochick, or Habit? I would have loved a Habit plush as a kid. I guess only huge franchises like Star Wars can have toys of absolutely all the characters. Then again, most ponies were never in an episode, especially later ponies. They could have had Habit as a pony pal or friend.

And he was in several other episodes and the movie. I think Hasbro missed a trick by not making a Rainbow of Light locket too.

I wanted a Rainbow of Light locket too. I can see why Tirek and Scorpan were never made in to toys but Mr. Moochick, the Rainbow of Light and Habbit all had multiple appearances. If there had been Tirek and Scorpan toys maybe the advertisement would have been something like this...Relive all the excitement as you help the ponies escape from Midnight Castle and it’s evil ruler Tirek who wants to bring the night that never ends. Throw the ponies in the dungeon or pretend to have Tirek turn them in to dragons. Help Scorpan fight against Tirek. Midnight Castle playset comes with Tirek, Scorpan and 4 dragon figures.
