best buy had the runaway rainbow in stock today so i picked it up! i want to post some screencaps and commentary for you guys who are curious how it is. ^__^

PREVIEW:
apparently next spring's DVD is called "a very pony place." it's actually 3 episodes: two for the sky, come back lily lightly, and positively pink. there's also an animated short called "greetings from unicornia," in which rainbow dash sends ponyville a postcard from unicornia.

(THIS IS SO TOTALLY RARITY'S BEDROOM COLORED PINK)

THE MOVIE:
it starts out in ponyville, where rainbow dash is in charge of decorating in preparation for the first rainbow of the season.

"i love rainbows... RAINBOWS... RAAAAIINBOOOWWSSS AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

cut to unicornia, where they're doing the same thing. apparently all the unicorns are really old, because i can't find any other explanation for all those lines over their eyes:

they also have interesting laws of bubble-physics, in which a small amount of bubbles becomes a large amount of bubbles when tossed at a pony, and one big bubble becomes a ton of tiny bubbles when popped. BTW, the yellow pony is NOT lily lightly (as someone mentioned earlier), so i have no idea why they put her on the cover of the "come back lily lightly" book. anyway, cheerilee is trying to reign in rarity's ADD long enough to teach her how to make a rainbow. rarity's voice makes me want to jam Q-tips in my ears.

back in ponyville, rainbowdash is explaining rainbows. when asked where the come from, she replies "let me explain... they come from... uh, i don't know." then everyone sings a song about the colors in a rainbow.

cheerilee finally finds rarity messing around in the castle with the magic wand. rarity throws it up in the air and POOF! it disappears. then POOF! RARITY disappears. o_O;; she reappears in midair above the breezies, on their way to ponyville. apparently the breezies live in breezie blossom. the breezies take rarity to the cotton candy cafe, where she EATS AN ENTIRE CAKE. then she sings an entire song without moving her mouth. :O rainbow dash is not very happy with rarity.

i like the new 'do, though.

they take rarity to spike, who tells them about unicorns and the first rainbow of the season... and AAAAAALL the castles in the world of ponies. there's A LOT.

while rarity's piddling around in ponyville, 2 of the 4 shooting stars go by. she has to make a rainbow BEFORE the 4th star appears, or no rainbows all year. and rarity is COMPLETELY UNCONCERNED when each star goes by. o_O; but then, her motto IS "it wasn't my fault!" so i guess that's not surprising.

yeah, ok. whatever. :roll: then rarity and cheerilee sing a song which totally sounds like a love song... SO WRONG. they're sad because they're so far apart...

...yeah.

but they find each other soon enough, and rarity uses the magic wand to call the crystal carriage... and even though everyone's mouth is moving here, only one voice is talking.

and even though it was minty, pinkie pie, and rainbow dash who got in the carriage with the unicorns, at the castle, out hops rainbow dash, peachie pie, and moondancer. by the time they get inside, all the color is disappearing from ponyville. but the unicorns put their horns together and make a rainbow after all, and ponyville is saved. THE END.
 
I forgot that it was coming out!!! Must go and find it! Thanks for the review!
 
Hee Hee! I love your review! I watched it at work the other night but it's hard to really know what's going on between customers!

they also have interesting laws of bubble-physics, in which a small amount of bubbles becomes a large amount of bubbles when tossed at a pony, and one big bubble becomes a ton of tiny bubbles when popped.

That part made me go HUH?? as well, I was like, where in the heck did all those bubbles come from! I wish I could blow a big bubble and have millions of little ones cover my car. Imagine how fast you could get you car clean then!

i totally want to see My Little Pony Brand Car Washâ„¢. it's a little bubble wand and a toothpick, you blow a bubble on your car, pop it, rinse and your car is clean. XD
 
great screen shots. I was hoping I'd buy the movie first (it's in the back room of my store, but I haven't stocked it yet). but that wouldn't make any sense anyway, since I still don't have the Princess Prominade.



Anyway, is it just me or did this story seem dumber than the rest? Maybe it was just your way of putting the whole thing, Diet.
 
*Falls over laughing* Diet, you always have me in stitches! Where did you get this? It's only half hour after midnight on the 12th for me at this very minute, do you live on the other side of the world and beat me with the evil of time zones? :lol:
 
Wow... Diet hun, yeh just made my brain go *POP* and then *fzzziizll...*

And one would hope the unicorn one would have been HALF DECENT. No, it's crazier. But that just made it absolutely insanely comical for you to tell, huh Diet? ^__^

And now reading that post... I totally need sleep. xD
 
no, i'm in texas. best buy just had it out a day early. XP

the bonus episode (aside from "greetings from unicornia") is "friends are never far away." which made me point at the TV and sputter and go "but i already HAVE that on DVD!!" maybe the bonus episode on the spring DVD will be "the princess promenade." XD

i can't really say whether this one is better or worse than the others... i think my biggest problem with it was rarity herself. because she's a baby unicorn (which i don't understand because her TOY isn't baby-sized), it's like they had to make her the most irritating pony ever. i think i would rather have listened to razzaroo's "yes yes yes!" over and over than rarity's "it's not my fault! all i did was everything i was told NOT to do!"

i WAS excited to see how often they showed the other brightly-colored unicorns (like the lime-green one!), including close-ups of their symbols. even though they were never named, i'm hoping that will increase the chances of seeing them in toy form. at least we know we'll get cheerilee, whistle wishes and brights brightly.
 
OH!! i forgot something else that makes NO sense. when the first shooting star goes by, the yellow one, the yellow stripes on the caterpillar disappear. that's it. all the other yellow ponies stay yellow, all the yellow ribbons and balloons and junk keep their color. then the blue star goes by, and the blue stripe in the caterpillar disappears. again, that's the only thing that changes. then the purple star goes by, and the caterpillar's purple stripe disappears, AND rainbow dash's hair goes completely white EXCEPT for the pink stripes. but everyone else's colors stay put. o_O; it's only when the pink star goes by that rainbow dash's hair goes completely white (but not her body for some reason), and all the decorations in ponyville turn white (but all the ponies keep their colors). SO. WEIRD.
 
I haven't seen any of the G3 movies...is there any action in them? Like the original movies?

there are no villains, if that's what you mean... no life-threatening danger. the level of conflict basically amounts to "minty broke the candy cane," "rarity's missing," "pegasi are scared of new ponies," "twinkle twirl can't come up with a good dance routine"... you get the idea.
 
Ohhhh, Best Buy! Lucky! I need one of those...

LOL. Don't forget "must plan a surprise brithday for Kimono!"
 
Oh, thanks for all the work you put into that and making it a worthwhile read, it was a funny review for a really really lame show. It's hard to beleive how bad it is.
 
i think at this point i'm just buying them to make fun of them. XD
 
Though if you are 5-7 years old...they love the movies. My daughter loves to watch them over and over and over, she is 5. They are great for long car rides!
 
Do we know which unicorn Whistle Wishes is? (She's going to be in the new assortment, right? Hurrah for mass-released unicorns!)
 
Wow Diet, thanks for that. Even though it sounds kind of bad I still want to see it just because of the discussion on it. That was pretty darn hilarious.

Does anyone know if the 3 DVDS + bonus pinky pie tote is or will be out in stores? If yes, do any of you possibly know which stores and in what sections?
