I really get the feeling that that's not a deliberate reference. If it were, I get the feeling they would've at least swapped the red and blue witches so that their colors slightly better match the ponies in question (though colors don't matter much when it comes to green, seeing as how there's very little green amongst all of the Mane Six).

They very vaguely look like expressions that each of those four of the Mane Six might possibly make, maybe.

Perhaps every archetypal quartet of friends has a party animal, an athlete, an animal lover, and a reader. Is there a Ninja Turtle that likes cats?

Them singing about Christmas in Equestria just feels wrong. It's supposed to be Hearth's Warming! Think of all the confused foals growing up wondering if reindeer were the deer equivalent of pegasi!

But I suppose it's a marketing thing.

:ponynet: Eqeustria used to celebrate Christmas, but long ago a teal colored monster destroyed Christmas and it was decided that it should never be celebrated again. Legend has it though that the monster may return to wreak havoc on the Holiday if it is celebrated again....

But because they didn't want to have to throw out all their decorations, all the superficial trappings of Christmas got folded into Hearth's Warming Day instead. Like how a dozen or so European holidays got folded into Christmas in the first place.

Seriously? It really did not work well when The Cutie Map aired just before Easter Sunday. I guess Discovery Family wants kids to drag their extended families in front of the TV to watch FiM, but unless they have a better means of marketing it, I doubt this'll work either.

Hmm, it doesn't really click for me yet, but maybe it'll grow on me.

Amy Keating Rogers found a bunch of her old pony episode brainstorming notes in a bag and is now sharing them on Twitter. Song lyric ideas, character name brainstorming, plot points, etc., from Bridle Gossip, Fall Weather Friends, Cutie Pox, A Friend In Deed, Pinkie Pride, Testing Testing 1, 2, 3, Canterlot Boutique, and Crusaders of the Lost Mark (so far)-- plus notes from one of her first meetings with Lauren Faust.

( 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 )

Some of them are hard to place, but others are pretty interesting. Apparently the song "Cheese Confesses" in Pinkie Pride was going in a completely different direction in the beginning and used to be about Cheese Sandwich looking up to the Wonderbolts? (??????? hence why he wanted to impress Rainbow Dash, I guess???) By contrast, Diamond Tiara's ballad in Crusaders of the Lost Mark seems like it popped out fully formed. Also, in Bridle Gossip, it clearly took her just as long to come up with the name "Twilight Flopple" as it took Spike. :lol:

Edit: She's also put up a few cut scenes from various scripts:
( 1 | 2 | 3 )

I wonder why that scene from A Friend In Deed was cut. Was it because someone decided that Rainbow Dash was just being too much of a jerk there, or was the idea of her having an admirer like that just not workable for some reason?

It was probably just a casualty of streamlining the episode. That one was all about Pinkie and Cranky, so details about other characters sometimes just don't fit with the story they need to tell.

One detail the last page mentions: An early name for Golden Oaks Library was the "Tree of Knowing." :-I

Probably the first one. It seems too out-of-nowhere mean-spirited to fit well into FIM, and Rainbow's character arc was already heading in different directions (this would have been four episodes before Hurricane Fluttershy).

Releasing it as an actual CD would add a lot of expense, though, enough to where making this album might not have been worth it. Besides, if there are kids little enough to not be trusted with any sort of MP3 player but still be trusted with a portable CD player (can you even buy those anymore?), it's still quite easy for their parents to burn these songs onto a CD.

Is it some project that has yet to be revealed or is upcoming? Could it be Ducktales?
