My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It is awesome. (See that finale? Great blatant cash grab to sell wedding playsets, or greatest blatant cash grab to sell wedding playsets?)
But the first thing that caught my attention was that it managed to look awesome. In Flash! From the simplistic stuff made necessary by early dial up internet, I'd always written off flash animation as looking cheap, but the stuff the animators manage to do with it is amazing.
Compare the following two videos and try to believe that they were made using the same program.
( Cut for latest FiM and OMGTHEHORROR! )
gbeaudette's analysis videos over on the Tube of You show off the skill and effort that goes into this thing.
The show would have gotten me on the technical achievements alone. The characterization and humour was a lucky bonus.

I know, it's nothing but Pony videos from me, but this one is just so genius it has to be posted!
SHUT UP NAVI! I mean Pinkie Pie. I mean both of you!

Princess Cadance must have filled the pink princess quota. Or perhaps the Hasbro toy department were sent TO THE MOON to consider their colour choices.
That's canon! That totally counts as canon! Lyra/Bon Bon 4eva! Lyra/Bon Bon/Derpy Block OT3!

My first attempt at doing something relatively complicated with a pumpkin. My childhood was spent hacking out turnips to make lanterns. But at least I could eat the raw turnip as I went. Hmmm, raw turnip.

Oh Twilight, I can relate. But look, I managed to livejournal post within the week, so I am not tardy.
I have a weeks holiday now, yet my brain remains word free. Stupid brain! At least drawing remains easy.
Look, Ponies!
Aug. 30th, 2011 10:28 pmOh worthy but depressing as hell movies. I need to scrub my brain with ponies. My Little Pony Character Generator.
Pony games!

Me playing: Aww, a cute My Little Pony game, look at how retro! Aw Applebloom! Okay, walking, finding, pushing boxes, finding stuff, open door OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE HELL! THE HORROR, THE HORROR, NOOOOO! RUN AWAY!!!!!!!
It's as if Silent Hill was only 8-bits. And starred My Little Ponies.

Space Core! Oh how I love him (Portal 2 spoilers.) A distraction from waiting for Royal Mail to hurry up and deliver my copy of Portal 2!
Spike Pilgrim vs The World
May. 1st, 2011 10:11 pmThere are so many My Little Pony mash ups out there, but I like this one a lot. Maybe it's the impressive lip syncing. And Scott Pilgrim, yay!
Is the movie any good? I don't know because stupid Love Film don't have it for some reason. I should probably just buy it, even if I did promise myself to restrict to animation because I'll end up smothered under a pile of dvds if the collection grows much more. Love Film obviously wants to kill me.
Sometimes I love the Internet!

Saying it with ponies
Apr. 21st, 2011 07:07 pmI had been thinking off doing Doctor Whooves with various companions (and if you need convincing that My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is awesome, it has almost canon Doctor!), but the sad news means that Sarah Jane just had to be first.
And see if you can read through the Newsround tribute page and all those tributes from children without getting dust in your eyes.

Apr. 15th, 2011 11:35 pmHow to make something so darn cute as brightly coloured ponies with tattoos on their butts even cuter? Show them as little kids. I may be in a diabetic coma now.
Fandom ponies continue to eat my brain, but the state of merchandising got there first today.
