Every so often we all get songs that just pop back into our heads for no reason well the very same thing happend to me just a few short days ago. With that very song leading me to suddenly remember this episode and well I thought that i'd review it for all today as it's meant to be a very popular episode in the My Little Pony fandom and so then join me as I review the episode that as a song so catchy that i'm willing to bet that alot of you are singing it right now with the episode in question being called simply just "The Perfect Pear" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is when a pony returns of Ponyville the Apple siblings go on a quest to learn more about their parents. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good as it was a really simple plot and that's what this show does best nice and simple plots and while yes there are episodes that have complicated plots this is an episode that really didn't need a complicated plot at all it just a plot that was nice and simple and that was exactly what we got given to us in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Ashleigh Ball as Applejack , Michelle Creber as Apple Bloom and Peter New as Goldie Delicious and Big Mac. Also starring in this episode is William Shatner as Grand Pear , Felicia Day as Pear Butter , Tabitha St. Germain as Mrs. Cake / Chiffon Swirl and Granny Smith , Bill Mondy as Burnt Oak and A Townspony , Bill Newton as Bright Mac and Cathy Weseluck as Mayor Mare.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not bad. Which is to be expected as the show had been going on for seven years at this point and it really does help that this episodes cast are a bunch of really talented voice actors who know what kind of performance would suit their respective characters in any given scene and it's also helped by the fact that this episodes script is so good that all the cast have to do is just say the words as they written and a good performance will come out them naturally as that's just how good the script for this episode really is.
Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Top Draw Animation. Now then interms of what Im personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but that's also the issue as it wasn't all that good either that's not tom say that the animation was bad because it wasn't it was however just OK best with there not really being any standout pieces of animation which is a shame because on paper this episode should have had at least one stand put piece of animation in it.
I think we all now the reason as to why this episode is as loved as it is and that's because it tells a genuinely good love story. With the closest thing that I can think of to compare this love story was that of Romeo & Juliet as the stories of both Romeo & Juliet and this episode are fairly similar with both of the people in love coming from families that absolutely hate each other and while this show for rather obvious reasons couldn't go down the dark route that Romeo & Juliet goes down it's still a rather sweet thing to see as it really a tale that's as old as time and when it's done right like it is in this episode then we end up with something that's not really truly special but also something that people will remember for a long time to come.
Really helping with this episode being a huge fan favorite is it's song which is called "You're In My Head Like A Catchy Song" and is written by the episodes co-writers Joanna Lewis and Kristine Songco. I have t admit that I really do love this song as it's not only a really well written with the song advancing the plot of these two characters but it's also a genuinely really good song that is really sung by actress Felicia Day with this song being just like it says in the songs title a very catchy song that will stay n your head fora long time after finishing this episode and you when add in the fact that the songs matches the visuals perfectly then it's no wonder that this song is just that damned good of song that's perfect for this episode in the first place.
While there are alot of good things to be found in this episode there are some things that I didn't like about the episode like the fact that Grand Pear gets redeemed which to me shouldn't have happened as it would have said to people that sometimes people just don't get over grudges at all. The other thing being the fact that it seems out of character for all of these characters who up until now would have most likely have been saying that lying is bad to suddenly be written as liars and while they do give an in episode reason as to why the characters are acting like that it's still something that shouldn't have happend as the episode still could have told it's story without using the characters that use for the flashbacks by instead creating brand new characters.
Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and fifty eight seconds. Which is a bit of short running time for this episode to have as this episode would, have been better served if it was a two part episode as then the story could have been allowed to breathe more and it would also allow the episode to really tug at your heartstrings alot more as well but at the same time however as the episode only really has enough plot for this one episode if they did stretch it out to two episodes then they would have been making the plot really weak and really thin and that in the long run would do a huge disservice to both the plot and to the show as a whole and I will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it.
So now then as the is some comedy to be found in this episode that means that I gave to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / resented to us in this very episode well ten in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episode some really cute and funny moments. Which is something that I was really surprised by as it would have made sense for them just to focus on the romance aspect of this episode and yet fr all the amount of romance that they give us in this episode they give us these really cute little comedic moments which worked really well in this very episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this was a really fun and a really sweet episode with it being really obvious to see why this episode became such a fan favorite episode as it's an episode that really tug at your heartstrings in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the ad things that are in very episode in this very very review and as such that means that means that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girl and as well ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page , Wikipedia and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are featured / up and on the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
