Studio was excited to finally be able to draw things with hands, and being able to write a longer story as opposed to just the half hour episodes.



Music took a different direction from the series, primarily focusing on using all the ponies as a high school girl band pop music setting as opposed to the usual showtune style.

Daniel is most proud of season 4 in comparison to all other seasons so far. He is just finishing up the final song right now.



Most of the names people shouted out have songs according to MK (Luna, Scratch, and a few others, though everyone kept shouting Derpy. It's going to be a tough sell to let her sing)

Following the trend of yesterday's Comic panel, I've gathered up the main highlights from this one. Everything from Season 4 to general pony is included. Head on down below the break to check it out!The season 4 clip will be posted in a while as well. 5 Minutes of pure pony awesome.(Typos in my notes cleaned up for the most part now that the internet is actually available for more than 3 minute bursts, yay~)Kids Questions started these out. And they love Derpy/background ponies. They were also my favorites.Someone also uploaded a video , though its a bit hard to hear them.
