I vaguely remember that the Space Ghost Coast to Coast writers once tried to do an episode that was just 11 1-minute episodes. It didn't end up getting made but that would have been glorious. :allears:

(In case you're wondering, FiM is currently tied with Space Ghost Coast to Coast at 91 episodes (although SGC2C could be considered to have more depending on what you count.))

(Also, if you want to talk about shows with varying runtimes, Space Ghost is exhibit A. They didn't even bother keeping the runtimes consistent during the show's early days, which would later cause problems with those episodes being rerun.)

Runtimes is a big reason why I'm hoping to make a living creating cartoons for streaming services. The idea of trying to keep every episode have the exact running time to fit the TV format sounds like a big pain-in-the-ass. But with streaming, you can make it as long or short as you want (within reason, of course, and budget).

Standing on two hooves though Twy would be roughly the same size as Blyth, they just made Sunil to big in those promos.

I thought the scale was already figured out using Angel's appearance in Equestria Girls, though I don't have the pic on me right now.

EDIT:

EDIT 2: Probably worth pointing out that I don't think the Transformers characters in the Hub Hall of Heroes were at their proper scale either. Things get weird when it comes to crossovers, especially ones made for the sake of marketing. :pinkieshrug:

I don't think the LPS characters are good for IRL size comparisons considering the humans are about 30-40% head. :gotcha:

Palm sized ponies would probably be the most adorable thing ever, so I change my answer to that.

EDIT:

The EqG characters are not the best comparison to real humans, either, given their wacky proportions. Here's the one that I have always referenced, using the "eight-foot candy cane" (as Twilight Sparkle called it) from Hearth's Warming Eve as the standard.

You can also try using the scooter that Discord summoned, though that only gets you another LPS reference :-I

Discord has the ability to scale things as he likes, so that's probably not the best idea anyway. :-P

Dunno, i think it's a pretty big assumption that ponies would for some reason use a human sized foot as a measurement unit. :-I

Okay, then, smart guy, whose feet are they using? That candy cane is way taller than eight of Celestia's hoofsies. :twiright:

I've always figured that Little Ponys are about the size of large dogs-say, a Lab or a Husky, so their heads are around waist-high on an adult human person. That pic comparing Fluts with EqG!Fluts looks about right to me.

All the familiar objects they interact with (bowling balls are a pretty good example) give that impression, so either they actually are that size, or you're meant to react to them as though they were.

I know I asked this before, but apparently for "Bats!" they corrected the writers credit in reruns.

Can anyone confirm that? Anyone watched "Bats!" on TV in reruns recently?

So they can include Discord, but not use the "S" for Spike.

Spike didn't actually contribute anything to the rainbow power unlock, Discord gave them the clues about the items as well as the final key.

Besides he got 3 good episodes this season and a seat on council of friendship, he's gotten more love than he usually gets in a season.

From that standpoint, it makes sense but Spike has been one of Twilight's oldest friends, it's kinda silly to leave him out.
