This was the first clip of MLP that I saw. It amused me enough (along with all of the recommendations) to see the show, and I started from the very beginning. Now, this was in the summer of 2011, so I only had the first season to catch up on. I still remember when the Entertainment Weekly web site revealed what Discord looked like and that he would be voiced by John DeLancie.

You know something
I couldn't give a flying shit what anyone says about this fandom.
Call it Toxic, call us manchildren..I don't care.
I have absolutely no regrets getting into this Fandom whatsoever, cause If I didn't I wouldn't have just had this awesome weekend.
This Galacon has been f***ing epic...Met so many people and was just amazing how many different nationalities we get at this thing, I met people from USA, Russia, Norway, Poland, Austria, Spain, Finland and ofcourse Germany.. and they all made it just that extra awesome.
It's gone past midnight and I'm only just returning to the Hotel room.
It's been a really great weekend and am now sad that it's all over.
Ofcourse was great once again meeting MD even if I didn't an awful lot of him today.
But a highlight was easily drawing an Applebloom pic for Muchelle Creber and Blackgryph0n.
Really sad it's over now.
Will I do it again in 2018?
Motherf***er, just try and keep me away.
Brilliant weekend and sucks that it's now over.
Just needed to get that out.

Also if the animation in these looks different, it appears these were done with a different studio. These were made by Boulder Media (Maud joke here) instead of DHX

Great post Eunös ✈. And next year will be even better when I go to England around that time. Started watching the shorts but find it strange that they all seem to be set around the first movie. OK, the last one is actually from the present being the Sci-Twi MV, but still.

Mornings,
A little bit of chill out time before I begin my journey back to England.
It's been a really great weekend and I'm already looking forward to next year..
As soon as a date is announced you know I'm sorting that shit out asap.
Pony on down.

Saw Big Jim Miller in the breakfast room at the hotel today and did what every sensible fan would do...leave him be and let him enjoy his breakfast in peace.
The funniest Jim Miller anecdote from yesterday's panel was the origin of Senor Huevos for the "Make Friends But Keep Discord" episode. -Originally, Jim and others wanted to show RL horses in that scene by using some stock footage he found, but Hasbro said that that would be too weird. So instead, he and Jayson went to his house, got one of his daughter's drawings for use as a background, created a sock puppet and filmed that short scene with Jim on camera and Jayson laying on the floor, holding his hand with the sock puppet up and making it move.
And that's the origin of Senor Huevos.

You know you've had a great weekend when you have a genuine feeling of sadness inside you leaving.
This may just be my best Galacon to date.. next year has some tough shows to fill at the airport now. Still 4 hours till flight time.

Yeah, those shorts...feel pretty meh about them. Main reason I think is that I just don't know why they chose to center most of them around the first movie (which meant no good Shimmy-Sham in all of them ) Also the animation by the other animation studio felt off to me compared to the regular ones. I liked the music video though (nice music, good animation). If I would assume the worst, I would think Hasbro had those on the shelf since the first movie and just released them now for the heck of it.

I've noticed that Boulder's versions of the EQG designs are a bit more... ahem... 'filled out'

So that's what the boulder in their name stands for.

So that's the CMC's special talent in that universe?

Does not surprise me. Big Jim actually mentioned in the panel that since a few seasons now, their work schedule basically is "while having the current season, we are already working on the next season" which is pretty hard compared to the more leisurely pace of the first few seasons.

All this con talk made me look up my next con. Turns out Tara is going to make an appearance. I hope they can get some movie guests too.
It's gonna be a long wait until November.
