Just a comparison I made up, to show the difference between the My Little Pony G1 specials (Escape from Katrina, Rescue from Midnight Castle, etc) and the spinoff cartoon.
..As much as I love G1, the cartoon looked horrid. If only it had looked like the specials. |

i was kinda mad to find out that the characters from "midnight castle" weren't used in the cartoon series. it's like they just forgot about them. |

that's because they changed the animators
I think it was because the ones who did the specials were contracted just for the specials also, Rescue at Midnight Castle and Escape from Katrina both have different styles as well |

@sprinkles
oh fuck yeah that Firefly needs to come back |

Yea, they changed the animators.. But I think it had to do with a budget or something; you could get people to emulate a different style but they just threw that out the window and made their own style.
Katrina's and Rescue's styles are similar enough. |

you know what? no Sprinkles because then you would've made a sequel to that fucking fic, but with Firefly instead of Dash |

G1 really needed a legit cast. Seriously, it changes Ponies all the time.
They should have just gone with Applejack, Twilight, Firefly, and the other Ponies that poked up. Moondancer, etc |

It's bizarre; I'm starting to feel nostalgic towards a show I cared very little for as a youngster. Obviously most lads never watched the old show anyway. =P
The specials aren't on YouTube, are they? |

Helpful anons, who knew? |
| DeeperMadness #332713 11 months ago |
Thanks to the help of the anons, I've located and watched both specials. The animation was fairly good in places and the villains were pretty awesome (no, really. I was shocked as well). The voices of the ponies were a little grating on my ears though. I can't say it's swayed me to watch G1, but I certainly respect it more than I did.
But c'mon; what's the deal with sea ponies? Seriously now... |

I thought they couldn't use the old designs/names because of legal issues of some sort? (Aaaand they're never going to see this because this was hours ago. XD;) Also, wow, helpful anons. What has this world come to? |

@Sprinkles @#332539
I'm pretty sure they couldn't use the old ponies because of legal reasons. But feel free to correct me. Also, helpful anons? What madness is this? Not that I'm complaining, mind you. |

Nah, Element. Back then they had the copyright to the guys, it wasn't until G3 when they lost the rights. |

Arrrgh, ignore that double-post. Of all the rotten luck... |
