Yeah, they got the 'real' Sergeant Slaughter who was a WWE professional wrestler (playing himself . . . except also a Joe). Although I would say that was a celebrity guest that actually made sense, since a lot of kids were fans of WWE and would know who he was.
That’s a good point about Grundleland Spikethedragon. The flutter ponies were able to get remove the Smooze pretty quickly from Dream Valley and maybe it’s impossible to remove after a certain length of time. Why did Hydia send Smooze to Grundleland? Was that ever explained?Also, how long would poor Morning Glory been stuck in the well if Baby Lickety Split, the Grundles and Spike hadn’t stopped there? It took all of them to pull the bucket up with her in it although it takes several flutter ponies to fly Baby Lickety Split back to Dream Valley and in “The End of Flutter Valley Morning says flutter ponies can’t carry humans.

Some things I did like about the movie:Out of the fat and thin sidekicks (witches), the fat one was the smarter one, which is unusual.And the wishing well 'echo' song.Also Rosedust straight up refusing to help, although that's just because it makes me laugh and goes along so perfectly with how snooty and aloof the flutter pony toys look.
Now if only they had their noses in the air.

I just watched this for the first time!It was cute, but definitely not my fave pony movie. I have to admit I was almost waiting for Gusty to say "Don't have a cow, man" or something the whole movie, lol. Nancy Cartwright voices her and the voice she does for Gusty sounds exactly like Bart Simpson. It made me laugh how cynical she was being the whole time, really. Angsty little pony. The songs were very cute, Baby Lickety Split was being so ornery though! Baby Lickety Split, chill!! The movie did focus a bit too much on the witches and stuff though. More ponies!Overall I thought it was very cute and a nice addition to the MLP movie/TV series but definitely not the best.
The wishing well scene/song and finding the flutter ponies are some of my favorite scenes too. I'm amused by the fact that no one caught on that Morning Glory wasn't just an echo in the well when she sang "In here" instead of "inn near" Also all the things that are in the last drawer Baby Lickety Split dumps during "Ill Go it Alone" visitors can't see pics , please register or loginWhere is she going to plug in the toaster? It's been quite a while since I've watched the film. I think it's time to rewatch it. Ponyfan

The parts animated by Toei is head and shoulders above the lion's share of the movie animated by AKOM. You can really see it in the few segments with the ponies animated by Toei where the twinkle eyed ponies had beautiful gems in their eyes that actually twinkled. Compared to AKOM who drew two concentric circles and colored in the space between them. If only they were willing to give Toei the time and money needed to animated the movie completely.Do you have an example of this? From what I've seen the twinkle eyes sometimes get more detailed in close up shots, but it's kind of inconsistent how they're drawn. None of the pony scenes look Toei animated to me. Many of the scenes with the witches on the other hand look to be animated by Toei. You can really notice the difference in style when they switch animation studios.visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginToei's characters are more well-drawn and the movement is more fluid. Akom's movement is more janky and their characters seem to have thinner/softer outlines. On the plus side, Akom did some great detailed backgrounds in this. Toei's backgrounds are often more simplified. I like Toei's style better, but I think Akom did an ok job with this movie compared to the TV animation they put out.

They look less aloof than the first wave of Flutters, though.

Oh, thinking back to that scene with Morning Glory and the wishing well . . . Who else noticed the awkward cut off to that scene? Morning Glory says something like:"I'll take you to Flutter Valle--" and she gets out a SMIDGE of the ending "ee" sound of 'valley' before being cut-off, obviously mid-sentence. Just terrible editing. I think this happens in another scene too but I can't recall which. Possibly the one where North Star is watching the Smooze from the roof?
I love when she takes a out a lone feather to make it less heavy My sister pointed out how she liked when Morning Glory was starting to get agitated in her responses to Licketysplit not getting that she's not an echo. =DFor the longest time I didn't realize about Gusty's voice until much later, even with me watching a lot of Simpsons at the time, as a kid I watched a show talking about Nancy Cartwright and who she voiced and I was like 'I wish they would do an episode with some of the people that voiced the ponies." which I probably said aloud to my mom at the time, and then some time later I was watching Glass Princess and was 'Gusty sounds familiar!!!!!" and my kid mind was "duh!!! check the credits!" and low and behold I was shocked Yay dumb kid mind! =P
