Oh hey, I used to own an animation cel of Bow Tie on ponywear from that! Maybe it's from a commercial for Ponywear?
I've been meaning to start a thread about that commercial. I distinctly remember the song from an early commercial for the first unicorns, pegasi, and non-CP earth ponies, though I don't remember the images very well. I think it probably goes to the one you're talking about. I've got some animation cels from it too.My Little Pony unicornA magical pony with beautiful hairMy Little Pony pegasusImagine my pony fly through the airAnd new Little Ponies in pretty posesSitting and turning and -- bounding? bouncing? too (I never could make out what they were saying)My Little Pony, My Little PonySomething something, probably just I love youDoes anyone else remember it?
No, that commercial was for that run of ponies. It was definitely aired. It's cobbled together from several commercials, and it was the reason I didn't like the look of the cartoon as much.
I thought it was just a fan tribute to the animator, I didn't realize it was a real commercial that aired. That's very interesting.
The person who put together the video said they had done a little documentary on the animator who drew those bits. So I wonder if someone asked them nicely if they would upload the complete commercial.
It must have been posted on YouTube fairly recently. (Edit: looks like it was 2016.) I had looked for that commercial before, but couldn't find it. I'm glad it hasn't been completely lost to time! FYI: I remember it showed Firefly during that "bounding/bouncing" line. Obviously "sitting" referenced Bubbles and Seashell, and "turning" was Bow-tie and Applejack.And I'm sure you're right; that video is a compilation of the opening animations from a bunch of the early commercials under one song; must be a fan tribute.While we're on the subject of lost commercials from the early days, I remember an alternate version of the So Soft commercial. It still showed Baby Lickety Split snuggling with Wind Whistler saying, "I love nuzzling up to you, Wind Whistler; you're so soft!" So it was mostly the same. But this one also included video of a pretty blond teenage girl in a dress petting a light gray horse. I grew up in Missouri, so it must have aired there.
