Whitehawke Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 http://www.equestria...rming.html#moreChristmas episode? Christmas episode.Air date: December 17thI guess this also means we will REALLY find out how Equestria was made. Also, there was a mention before that there would be additional information on how the world was before it was taken from Discord's grasp, so we might even see him again (in flashbacks).Additionally, this is apparently the 13th episode in production, which means it's being aired before 2 other episodes which were finished before it.

Davroth Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Well, if it's just a play, there might be some wiggle room for historic inaccuracies. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoth Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 *Hopes for a true Christmas-themed episode are dashed*Well, I can say this DOES sound like an interesting episode. I did hear something about the iPhone App pertaining to canon of how Equestria was made. I'd evaluate, but for the life of me I can't remember the exact story on how Equestria was made, per the iPhone App.I suppose this could make for a nice holiday-themed episode. However, with talks of how Equestria came to be, and I'm sure my bud Travis would agree, wouldn't this fit better as a Thanksgiving-type episode?

brianblackberry Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 *Hopes for a true Christmas-themed episode are dashed*I am personally glad it is not specifically a Christmas themed episode, as Christmas as not only a holiday of our human world, but based on a particular religion, a religion that simply doesn't exist in Equestria (as far as we can tell, no religion does). This way the writers can be more creative by coming up with their own holiday as well as the origins of the world (or at least of the realm of Equestria).

Hippo Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 It seems more like a Founder's Day type holiday to me more than it is a festive holiday of giving. I could be wrong though. This one might ruin a few historical fanfics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeisterpony Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Christmas-esque episode plus how Equestria really was made?Sounds like an awesome episode. I can't wait to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossStitch Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'm VERY excited for this episode!Though I assume the writers who have Fanfictions with a tad of Eqeustrian history in them are on the edge of their seats. So far season 2 has had a great line up of story plots, and this is no different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyLittlePonyTales Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Minty's voice actress = Rarity (speaking), Luna/Nightmare Moon, Photo Finish, and apparently Granny Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyLittlePonyTales Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 She's really improved since G3 with her voice acting skill then. Or maybe she can just do different voices, since she's been in a lot of other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acynder Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Or maybe she can just do different voices, since she's been in a lot of other stuff.HA I knew she was in Death Note. That makes 3 voice actors who were in Death Note are in this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motion Paradox Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Hmm! I wonder how much of this episode will be story of the play and how much will be preparation for the play itself (because all of them preparing for a play does have a lot of comedy potential)And even more voice actors & Actresses that have been in both Frienship is Magic & Hamtaro (really, there are at least 6 and I haven't even checked the ones that play human characters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one might ruin a few historical fanfics.Ooh, never thought about that! I'm kind of excited because of canon history, but now I'm kind of less excited because I wrote some in-between historical stuff! OH SNAP! Oh well, there's always time to exploit loopholes in the story and edit my canon appropriately. The emperor's are getting a spot in history if it kills me! VIVA LA ITAILIA!

brianblackberry Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Or maybe she can just do different voices, since she's been in a lot of other stuff.Well that and with Rarity, she is allowed to perform with a full range of emotion and inflection. It is one of the things I feel made FiM so attractive, the voice actresses seem to bring so much more depth to the roles then in any of the other series.Sadly I haven't seen an English version of an anime except a few movies where the English actors are nearly as good at the roles as the original Japanese actors.

Kirby Krackle Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I've seen plenty of fantasy worlds with Christmas-but-not-Christmas. The MMO Aion has Solarius. I wish I could think of others.But I'm happy anyway! Whoopie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitehawke Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Some more information on this episode has surfaced in the form of a new sypnosis.In “Hearth’s Warming Eve” the six friends are honored to put on Canterlot's most important play of the season, the Hearth's Warming Eve's holiday pageant that illustrates how Unicorns, Pegasi and Earth Ponies put aside their differences and founded Equestria.Racism, in My Little Pony?It's more likely than you think.

Whitehawke Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 It happened with Zecora. So It wouldn't surprise me.The thing is, this is between Earth ponies, Pegasi and Unicorns. We could finally see what Earth ponies truly bring to the table that makes them different from the others, instead of just being hornless/wingless versions of the other 2.And it'll be in-universe, not through interviews and such.Of course, considering how this show tends to go for completely unexpected setups, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't take that route.

TheColtofPersonality Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 *Hopes for a true Christmas-themed episode are dashed*Well one thing I like is that this series is not going for the atypical holiday episodes, after all how many series out there have a Christmas episode.A lot and as a person of JEWISH decent it does get irritating to see yet another Christmas episode when you celebrate Hanukkah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitehawke Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 So how about some screen caps?Seems Christmas-themed to me.Video below is the source. Mostly a HUB-themed commercial, so not 100% ponies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
