It was the King Julien one that won, yeah? This one?

I can appreciate it from a musical point of view, but yeah, those comic voices aren't exactly suited to listenability.

He also did the music for the Green Lantern animated series a while back. Most of the stuff I worked with him on were for movie trailer libraries. I am really happy for him. :allears:

Isn't this not the first time Madagascar has taken that award against ponies?

I'm not sure who your friend is but I'm glad he won. I just think ponies deserve to win more then just an obscure Canadian internet "best male voice guest star" award. It feels like ponies only win oddly specific categories that no one is really competing for. "The Pitcairn Islands award for best female focus cast of pastel colored flash animation goes to... My Little Pony!"
:golfclop:

Speaking from a completely bias stance, I feel like the awards nominations might be a bit bias. I think more people watch Madagascar then they do ponies so they would naturally vote for something they are more familiar with.

I live in Canada and a month ago I signed up for cable TV. At first I was happy that I wouldn't have to watch the MLP streams anymore but then I found out that MLP airs a week late in Canada. So it was back to the streams for me.

However, for some reason they didn't skip a week like the US did so now they're all caught up. Hooray! Also, the new episodes air at 11:20 AM rather than 11:30 AM and the channel (Treehouse) doesn't have any commercials so it's 22 minutes of pony without any interruptions. I just checked next Saturday's schedule and it looks like s6e7 will be airing so I guess it wasn't a fluke.

Just a PSA for anyone living in Canada.

Thanks for the tip. I've watched Pony on Treehouse before but they were always reruns. Glad to see they're airing new episodes. :excite:

Didn't Treehouse used to edit the episodes a bunch? Like, they felt it needed to be even more little-kid-friendly than Hasbro and the Hub wanted it to be for American audiences in S1?

Hey, I'm going to be out of town again this weekend, so I won't be able to do this week's S1 rewatch. Since I know about this ahead of time, though, I could find a time on Thursday to run it instead. Would you all prefer to do that, or just skip this week?

Rewatches tend to happen at about 9.30 am for me (usually on a Saturday morning, which works well), so I won't be able to make that one. By all means go ahead, though!

EQD did an interview with Andrea Libman...

Question: Here's a little hypothetical. If you wanted My Little Pony to crossover with any other show, what would it be?

Andrea: Law and Order, Special Victims Unit.

:rariwhat: She does know every episode of that show involves sexual abuse, right?

She should have just said Law and Order and it would have been cute, but adding SVU is kinda super messed up. But then so are most bronies.

I like the show too, well, did up until Christopher Meloni left, but it's certainly not a good crossover with pony.

I was just thinking, Pinkie Pie seems the odd one out of the mane six when it comes to living arrangements. She is the only one who lives in an apartment. Which is strange because she is one of the top three with a well defined practical job. Everyone else has their own place. It is weird that is never brought up in the show itself. Not that it is weird in itself, just that no one ever mentions it. Besides the big cities, I think Pinkie is probably the only one who seems to do that. Makes me wonder, if Ponyville got bigger would it have an apartment complex or something? What is the transitional phase between individual houses to big city apartment building?

Not that it is weird in itself, just that no one ever mentions it.

Well, they all have different kinds of houses. Rainbow Dash's house is made of clouds and floats on the outskirts of Ponyville, Applejack lives in a barn with her siblings and grandmother, Rarity's house is also the heart of her business operations, Twilight Sparkle used to live in a tree and now lives in a crystal castle made by a magic tree, and Fluttershy has perhaps the most "normal" house out by the edge of the Everfree Forest. Compared to them, is it really that odd for Pinkie Pie to live right above the city's hottest bakery and social venue?

If anything, I think Fluttershy's house is the strangest, if only because it's not too clear how she affords it. The other five have very obvious careers (apple farmer, queen of a burgeoning fashion empire, baker and party planner, Wonderbolt, and princess of friendship) but we still don't quite know what Fluttershy does for a living.

Well, her house is just a tree. Maybe property taxes don't exist in Equestria. Ponyville is only a few generations removed from being a frontier town, so they might still be able to get plots of land just for settling there.

Now, feeding all those animals...

Fluttershy is kind of a combination Park Ranger/Veterinarian/Pet Shop Owner. That's enough of a job for me to accept.

I swear we went over this before.

:wingsright: Given a Library by a Princess, now lives in a giant magical castle/library given to her by a Tree. No payment, it's all magic and Spike.

:-P See Above.

:v: Works for the weather service, probably just scraped up loose clouds and made a house. The pittance she makes can afford her sparse furniture but mostly goes to Wonderbolts memorabilia.

:cry: Probably gifted her house/business by her parents, but actually manages to run it successfully. :wink:

:eyebrow: They don't live in a literal barn, come on! They live on a farm, in a farm house, passed down for generations (like.. 4 generations?)

:whatsup: A NEET, probably had her parents buy her a house when she wouldn't shut up about the birds, bees, squirrels, and bunnies. Maybe supplements that from untrained animal care and grooming, but we never see anyone pay her.

Yeah her qualifications are 'I like animals', so I assume it's just doggy day-care and grooming. We've seen her groom other's pets multiple times but I can't recall bits ever being given to her.

In all fairness, we never actually see Rainbow Dash get paid for her weather service either. It is just assumed. But we did see Rainbow Dash use a sky banner ad before. Certainly she would have been paid for that. Fluttershy does raises chickens so she could be selling eggs to Sugar Cube Corner. She is also the one who gives new pets to ponies and general care and grooming of said pets. She should have some, if not specifically stated, income.
