My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The Perfect Pear Review

 

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.

My Little Pony: Winter Wishday TV Special Review

 

When you think of the My Little Pony franchise very rarely do you also think of the words Christmas Special. Well that's now what we've just been given since for some strange reason Netflix chose to release this special near the middle of November and not in December and so then join me as I review the special that nobody really asked for or that nobody really needed with the special in question being called simply just "My Little Pony: Winter Wishday" enjoy.

The plot of this special is Sunny wants to spend the holidays with her friends but her friends all have other plans and so then the friends all decide to do everything together. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special 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 special was in all honesty OK at best since it was a very cute story but it also had no stakes either which is what a goo story should always have in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this special is of course Jenna Warren as Sunny Starscout and Turning Red star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Zipp Storm. Also starring in this special is JJ Gerber as Hitch Trailblazer , My Little Pony: Pony Life star Ana Sani as Izzy Moonbow , AJ Bridel as Pipp Petals , Rob Tinkler as Sparky Sparkeroni , Elley Ray Hennessy as Grandma Figgy , Amanda Martinez as Queen Haven and Andrew Jackson as Alphabittle Blossomforth.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad. With all of this specials cast turning in OK performances however what lets the acting down is the script which gives this specials cast absolutely nothing to work with interms of their characters and their characters personalities apart from the mane five characters that is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Try as I might but I cannot find out who did the actual animation for this special which is a good thing considering what i'm about to say. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special 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 special was in all honesty pretty bad with this special looking very nice but all of the characters just look dead on the inside in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

What really made me confused because they never explain why they changed this in the special but they already had there own version of Christmas called Hearth's Warming. So it makes no sense as to why they suddenly created Winter Wishday since both holidays have the exact same purpose and so I have to wonder why they replaced Hearth's Warming with this cheap knock off since it just seems like some really lazy screenwriting to me in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

While this special is sure to please little kids there's nothing really to this special since it's just the same old thing that you could find in literally any other Christmas special. This is a huge red flag for me personally since this franchise has always tried out new things and while yes it has relayed on tried and true story beats in the past those are in the minority and are not the majority and so it's sad to ee the franchise in this state in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

You could just straight up predict that the plane that the friends travel in is going to be a toy even tho narratively it doesn't make sense since more then half of them can fly anyways. Which just made the inclusion of this plane seem even more like obvious product placement since like I said it doesn't make narrative sense for this plane to be there and so I think that the makers of this special should have den a better job of explaining why the friends needs to use this plane in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty five minuets and thirteen seconds. Which for a kids animated Christmas TV special is a tad bit on the long side since those kids of specials are usually no longer then thirty minuets which would have suited this special alot better since this special doesn't really have alot there interms of either plot or story in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then sine this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad. With Izzy once again getting alot of this specials best jokes which is a shame because then all that we are left with is some pretty jokes being told by characters that just really aren't that funny in the first place in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this special is perfectly harmless for it's little kid auidence that doesn't make it a good special since even this specials songs are pretty bad and for a musical comedy that's a pretty bad thing indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very special in this review and as such that means that this very special erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 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 girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official MY Little Pony Generation Five fandom wiki page , the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from this actual freaking episode being the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page this is simply because the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page actually has a wide varitity of images from this actual freaking episode all of which are currently featured / up and on the official My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fandom wiki page right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.
