@Apple: I'd try to steer clear of that stuff. No point in getting involved.

Yea, better not approach that, not exactly your problem. Plus, he might look for someone or something to unload on later, so lock your room.

Oh, the thread? Don't worry, it's just dead.

Eeeyep, I'm stepping back and leaving him to wallow in it.

She is even good at the flying too. I hoped she'd at least be bad at it to not feed into my mary sue impression.

Taking off is easy...landing is a whole other story.

Twilight with a couple of flasks.

Okay, that's awesome. If I felt compelled to change my avatar, I'd use this.

Oh, and hello.

It's nice to see a "Disney characters set to Ponytunes" version of MLD. At first I throguht the concept was silly but Rose is actually fairly good at editing together different characters when they absolutely need to be together.

I wasn't too impressed with the What My Cutie Mark Is Telling Me one. Especially Charlotte's part, since it made no sense and didn't fit the images.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

How is Twilight a Marey Sue? She's a bundle of neuroses and, half the time, her spells go wrong.

I'm always amused seeing Twilight burst into song right off the bat in MMC. There's just something about seeing her so bright and cheerful, and just going about town and getting along with all the other ponies. I just keep thinking to myself that she's nothing like the Twilight we saw way back in the pilot.

Mary Sue long ago lost all meaning.

And she can dance!

And Twilight asked if there was a book she should be reading when she changed...so she hasn't changed.

#347888 Dragon Ranger Thu, 14th Mar '13 12:48:44 PM

Well okay, she still likes books, but other than that she probably wouldn't recognize herself if she encountered herself as she was at the beginning of the show.

On a completely unrelated note, Dash's treadmill accident looks like it hurt quite a bit.

Whoops, I was referring to the mary sue claims. I agree with you Dragon. She's grown so much as a person yet...she's still the same pony too.

I loved that little detail.

Twilight doesn't understand the concept.

I always think she's doing a Disney impression. Belle's song isn't quite the same, but it's very similar.

#347893 Rhyme Beat Thu, 14th Mar '13 1:08:07 PM from Eastern Standard

Honestly I honestly am tired of people comparing "Belle" to "Morning in Ponyville". "Belle" is both very musically different from "Morning in Ponyville" and it's about how much Belle hates living in the village, and in general has a more monotonous tone. A better comparison would be "Oh what a Beuatiful Morning" from Oaklahoma.

That's about how much he loves his town, and it's more musically similar being simpler and a bit slower than "Belle"

When Twi opens the window, my mind sings "Little towwwwwn, it's a quiet villaaage..." Every time.

#347895 Rainbow Thu, 14th Mar '13 1:20:18 PM

Seeing the Disney/Pony videos made me think, which characters would match up to be a MLP version of the seven dwarfs from Snow White? This is what I thought of:

Doc is Twilight Sparkle
Happy is Pinkie Pie
Dopey is Derpy
Bashful is Fluttershy
Grumpy is Cranky Doodle Donkey
Sneezy is that one stallion with a "terrible cold" from the Perfect Stallion song
Sleepy is either Rainbow Dash or Spike, on account of the fact that both are often shown taking naps (probably Rainbow Dash more than Spike, but she's also known for being speedy when she's not being lazy)

@Rhyme: Completely aside, but is that Hugh Jackman? I keep forgetting he does theatre...

Sweet geebus, that's adorable.

#347899 Rhyme Beat Thu, 14th Mar '13 1:31:36 PM from Eastern Standard

I beleive this is why he was cast in Les Mis. I just grabbed the first video of the song that was just the song.

Speaking of which let's try to track down other references in Musical numbers.

Confirmed: "Art of the Dress"/ "Putting it Together" (Sunday in the Park with Georfe"

"At the Gala" / "Ever After" Into the Woods

"May the Best Pet Win"/ "Animal Song" (forgot the name) Doctor Dolittle

"Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000" /"Trouble" The Music Man

"Bad Seed" has no actual definitive source but is inspired by 60s chase scene music. Theorized

"This Day Area"/ "Vanessa's Song" The Little Mermaid (Visually only Chrysalis's part)

"Morning in Ponyville: Life in Equestria" Debate between Beauty and the Beast "Belle" and "Oh what a Beuatiful Morning" Oaklahoma

Any others? Some of the theories I'm just making up and I might be missing some confirmed connections.

I heard somewhere that Morning in Ponyville was inspired by some of the lyrics from Good Morning Baltimore.

"Welcome. You have entered the cranial vistas of psychogenesis. This is the place of no-time and no-space. Do not be afraid."
