S06E03: The Gift of the Maud Pie

Postby Wayoshi (?) » Wed Mar 30, 2016 3:00 pm

Rarity and Pinkie Pie are in Manehattan looking for an ideal location for Rarity's new store and searching for the perfect gift for Pinkie Pie's sister.


This thread is for discussion of the episode. This episode airs at 11:30 AM Eastern / 8:30 AM Pacific on Saturday, April 2!

REMINDER: Lower quality posting is OK when the episode is airing and immediate reaction after it on the day of airing. This thread will go global during that day, so let's make this the catch-all thread for this episode!

Official preview clips and images are okay to post, as is speculation about the episode.

Writers:Mike & Will Fox (debut)

So far there's no proper preview clips, but Mr. Big pointed out that this Discovery Family ad has a few shots from this episode:

Maud Pie is a nice pony and I'm glad she's in another episode. :allears:

Not a huge fan of Maud, but this episode could be entertaining. Most looking forward to Pinkie and Rarity interactions.

Really looking forward to this one.
Please let there be good interaction between Rarity and Pinkie. I've always felt like there is so much potential regarding their relationship considering they have quite a lot in common if you look deep enough.

Don't really care too much about Maud though. Luckily it doesn't seem that she's going to be in it much, judging by the promo.

I kinda feel like they're overusing Maud, but I'm glad to see a Rarity & Pinkie episode. They were great in Putting Your Hoof Down.

I had been waiting in months for another Manehattan and Rarity episode. :yay:
Pinkie Pie: So, you see this here? This, um, this is um, a big, round room. It's known for its roundness, and bigness, and did I mention that it's round?

One thing I still wonder is why Maud is up here in Manehattan. Is this perhaps where her school is?

And by being a Pie sister, she would also be a part of the Apple family.

Well Rarity does love gemstones (she even has them on her flank), which could be considered rocks. So I believe she'd fit right in. :twiright:

Big improvement! More detailed backgrounds are always welcome.

God, why is the movie so far away? I'm dying to see what it looks like.

They're doing a live-showing of the episode in the Mane Hall at Whinny City Pony Con, so that should be fun. :allears:

Holy moly. I knew the art improved a ton between S1 and now, judging by Ponyville and Canterlot assets, but Rarity Takes Manehattan was an S4 episode. It's almost hard to believe that I thought things were pretty even as recently as that.

Maud feels emotions like everypony else, she just doesn't express them! She's more like an elcor.

I almost did a double take when I saw the name, but nope. It's not the Back to the Future guy :v:

Looking up Michael P. Fox's IMDB page, he's primarily a live-action sitcom writer. Unless he did something else that IMDB doesn't list, this would be his first animation credit.
