The Quality Of Life In My Little Pony: Pony Life

Whether My Little Pony: Pony Life is all in Pinkie Pie’s point of view or not [50] [51], I still appreciate it for its redeeming qualities and being filler between the fourth and fifth generations of the My Little Pony franchise in 2020 [50] [51] [52] [53]. Even though it is more focused on quick-paced comedy and consists of a slice of life genre [29], I can tell that the series is focused on the value of friendship as there is a compilation in association with celebrating International Friendship Day on Hasbro’s official My Little Pony YouTube channel [21]. I am hoping that the series will soon air in the United Kingdom and Ireland since I reside in England and the production of the series involved co-operation with Boulder Media, an Irish company [4]. Even though there have been no signs of the series officially airing in either of those nations yet [29], I can always check out the compilations on the official My Little Pony YouTube channel for analysing its slice of life vibes. There is always another way, according to Finding Dory [7]. For the fourth time, I shall express my critical thoughts on the newest animated interpretation of pony life, which is My Little Pony: Pony Life [48] [49].

PONY LIIIIIIIIIFE [21] [26]! [30]

Firstly, let us reflect on what the portrayal of Potion Nova, one of the newest ponies in Ponyville has to offer [25]. I quite like the premise of Twilight Sparkle trying to learn how to make potions, but failing every single attempt as it is an interesting new take on her development in Pony Life, especially when it comes to her alliance with Potion Nova and her determination to be intellectually impressive [22]. Moreover, it is pretty assuming how Nova poses as a therapist after the montage. More importantly, I adore how she advises Twilight to take it easy during the progress of creating potions. This briefly reminds me of how a well-known cartoon reviewer named Josh Strider, also known as “PhantomStrider” online advised his audience to maintain mindfulness, especially through deep breathing [40] [41]. As much as I understand how Twilight Sparkle tried to seem masterful to Potion Nova, it delights me to know that the newest unicorn in Equestria can at least provide helpful advice to reassure her [22]. I believe that Potion Nova is now my new favourite pony, not just because she is a Pony Life and Potion Ponies exclusive character [13].

I also love how potentially symbolic the method of putting emotion into a potion is as Potion Nova demonstrates it in association with teaching young children the importance of taking it steadily when it comes to new tasks. [22]

There is one pony who originated from Friendship Is Magic and has returned in Pony Life. Once again voiced by Kathleen Barr [3], the Great and Powerful Trixie Lulamoon is portrayed as someone who sincerely tries to understand the meaning of friendship aside from her determination to be “the best” [20] [31]. Even though she eventually learned the basics of being a true friend in a montage and referred herself as “Trixie the Powerfully Grateful” after learning that friendship is not a competition, the friendship bracelet she makes suddenly becomes big enough to capture the Mane Six altogether [20], which is a sign of her antagonistic side from Friendship Is Magic taking the lead [12]. When it comes to providing some value underneath fast-paced action and humour, I like how Pony Life still captivates the theme of maintaining true friendships and developing outstanding social skills, along with how it manages to make the portrayal of another pony from Friendship Is Magic familiar yet fresh [20]. Furthermore, I would be curious to see if at least how one more character from Friendship Is Magic is portrayed in Pony Life before the preparations for Generation Five.

Including Trixie in the show is legitimate because there is a toy based on her in the Potion Ponies toy line from Hasbro [16]. I think another character from the Friendship Is Magic era should only appear in Pony Life if the Pony Life brand consists of a toy based on her to make her appearance a little more valid [33] [43]. [20]

What about any further development of the Mane Six besides Twilight Sparkle’s alliance with Potion Nova [22] [25]? I am terribly sorry, but I really do not like Fluttershy’s bossiness and greediness in the premise of her friends selling cookies as a business as it is more concerning and out-of-character than Twilight Sparkle’s competitiveness towards Rainbow Dash and how Princess Celestia is more like a food critic than a fair ruler [27] [50] [51] [52] [53]. Since when did she become a copy of the Bloo who was a dangerously selfish and greedy company manager from “Cookie Dough”, an episode of the second season of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends [10]? Nevertheless, she eventually stops and learns that a strong desire to meet her idol, Finn Tastic has overshadowed her virtue of kindness [28], which motivates me into giving her off-putting portrayal a spoonful of slack [27]. Throughout the airing of Pony Life, there have been moments of character development that are either out-of-character or a trait that is taken too far [50] [51] [52] [53], which is what I believe many purists of the first three seasons of Friendship Is Magic will not take too kindly to [17] [44].

Fluttershy’s out-of-character behaviour reminds me of how some fans of Ed, Edd n Eddy found Double D’s attitude towards Eddy in the episode about a cursed telephone out-of-character [6] [11] [45]. I strongly prefer her stare from the first season of Friendship Is Magic as it at least provided some heroism against those who are up to no good [19]. Remind me not to bake oatmeal cookies with raisins. [27]

Despite my disapproval of Fluttershy’s exclusive selfish side, are there any more witty moments to talk about? The moment Rainbow Dash drank a potion that motivated her into referencing Sonic the Hedgehog was priceless [24], yet brought back memories of discovering her being shipped with him [39]. I also find it very hilarious how Twilight and her friends tried to capture the one responsible for the delivery of the potions but failed every attempt [23] [25]. It was also funny when four of the Mane Six expressed epic jaw drops as Potion Nova began her majestic entrance, but then she suddenly tripped over one of the rainbows [25]. I think Rarity’s reaction to losing a pair of sunglasses...again sums up our reactions to losing something quite valuable. As for the cuteness contest between Fluttershy and Bubbles that occurs when the pink-maned pegasus has enough [20], karma is a Queen Chrysalis for the sassy jerk of a feline as he eventually gets the Team Rocket treatment for his meanness [9] [8]. Again, providing well-written humour is essential for trying to make the spin-off of the iconic cartoon from the 2010s faithful and trustworthy for our fellow bronies and pegasisters [42].

I wonder if Dashie’s reference to Sonic the Hedgehog is a shout-out to SonDash shippers [39]. [24]

Oh. And let us not forget how Applejack is still our fourth wall breaker! [20]

I would also like to discuss more discoveries in the Pony Life version of Equestria aside from zany results from consuming potions [24]. It turns out that there is a legendary creature named “Bighoof” [27], which is obviously a parody of Bigfoot [46], quite similar to Big Food from one episode of Chowder [5]. The sight of the potion ocean is absolutely beautiful [22]! I adore how it consists of the colours of the rainbow and I love to splash around in it if I were a pony. Despite that, there is also a strange depth of the ocean that consists of various lost objects [26], which expands the setting’s creativity to a degree. Oh my Celestia! Twilight Sparkle and Applejack get trapped in a potion bottle and witness the title of a Prince song at some point [22] [37]! Despite how I find the lack of colouring and wonky proportions for some aspects of the backgrounds flawed [48] [49], I appreciate how several fantasy elements have been established outside of Ponyville to give Pony Life some of the fantasy vibes that Friendship Is Magic has during its nine-year run to show more than smart devices just to appeal to today’s youth [18].

I am absolutely starstrucked by the beautiful rainbow ocean! I would need to avoid getting lost in the depth of lost items though [26]. [22]

Purple rain! Purple rain [37]! [22]

I am sorry once again, but I must lightly but firmly put my hoof down after seeing more depth of Rainbow Dash feeling unwell at Sugarcube Corner [23]. Twilight Sparkle is seen wearing a face mask as Dashie leaves the bakery, which is just too familiar in a terrible start of a new decade. Seriously, there are tons of reports about people losing their lives to coronavirus and mental health problems caused by lockdowns on the news already [1] [2] [38]. Rather than the risk of illness anxiety increasing from witnessing the premise, we need a source of delight to help us reduce that anxiety and think beyond the rest of the difficulties we have had in 2020. Despite my complaint, I have a theory that the script for this episode was written at some point before the pandemic began. Moreover, it might as well be brushed off as a public service announcement for the little ones during such a frightening time of separation and uncertainty. Besides, the premise would be more badly timed and in rather poor taste if it was not for those public service announcements about saving lives during the coronavirus outbreak in Weibo before the show aired [30].

I mostly feel negative towards an episode of Pony Life seemingly referencing the unnerving impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on us all in real life [1] [2] [38]. [23]

And who would have thought Pinkie Pie would be very anxious and show signs of being a workaholic when she becomes ill and has to rest? [23]

Despite some aspects that I believe are rather flawed, I still stand by how I believe the spin-off of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is mostly faithful adaption based on Hasbro’s Pony Life toy line. Speaking of toy lines from Hasbro, since there is a new line of Littlest Pet Shop within its sixth generation known as the “Keep Me Pack” [15] [34] [35] [36], I believe there can be a release a special edition of a pet from the second generation from Hasbro or the vintage era from Kenner to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Littlest Pet Shop franchise at some point in 2022 [53]. It worked for the original Polly Pocket for her 30th anniversary last year, right [47]? As for the My Little Pony franchise, there is still plenty of time to hope for a remarkable outcome of the fifth generation at some point later in the 2020s. Many of us may still be complaining about how awful the year 2020 is as a horrible start of a new decade [32], but there are still new things for us to try and tune into, including a decent re-imagining of a cartoon we loved years before the pandemic and other distressing conflict began [1] [2] [38].

I believe that a special 30th anniversary edition of a Littlest Pet Shop figurine from the mid-2000s or early 2010s can potentially do the LPSTube community a huge favour in 2022 [54]. [14]

Anyway, I hope this fourth review of a mostly cool spin-off of an ironically cool cartoon from the 2010s was cool. If you thought it was cool, cool [50] [51]! [27]

A Language Of Love Spoken At Hazbin Hotel

Disclaimer:

This is a brief analysis of a French dub of an animated pilot that contains content aimed at mature audiences, including:

•       One moderate drug reference
•       Moderate sexual references
•       Cartoon violence

Reader discretion is advised.

Bonjour et salut, je m’appelle Laura. Not too long ago, an official French dub of the delightfully demonic masterpiece created by Vivienne Maree Medrano [10], the pilot of Hazbin Hotel was uploaded into her YouTube channel while many folks in the United Kingdom celebrated Victory in Europe Day in memory of the brave soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the country during the Second World War, marking the seventy-fifth anniversary of the war’s conclusion [11] [12]. The brand new French of Hazbin Hotel is very beneficial for further increasing the intellectual property’s appeal to adult cartoon fans in France and certain parts of Canada whose first language is French [19]. Quite coincidentally, Alastor can speak French quite moderately, according to some answers from Medrano [5]. Furthermore, I believe that could have also been part of the motivations of Lucy Studer, Cécilia “Calis” Goncalves and Matilde Sauvaitre to gather a new team of voice actors and such for a French dub since the radio demon is one of Medrano's favourite original characters [5] [19]. The outstanding success of the original English version of the pilot must have greatly motivated the creative team into practically establishing a new foreign dub to further increase its appeal and ambition [18] [19].

The motivation for an official French dub of a hellish masterpiece must have bloomed like Spring in Paris. [4]

“Smile, my dears! We have an encore, but in a different language!” [18]

Of course, you do not always have to fully understand the language to truly enjoy something. Heck, I enjoy listening to the Japanese songs from the Project Diva games, including Deep Sea Girl and there have been times when an anime fan whose first language is English disapproved of an anime’s official English dub [15] [26] [28]. I am sure that plenty of young Canadian players whose first language is English enjoyed the gameplay of that Rayman game for computers called “Les Dictées de Rayman” back in 1998 [3] [4], despite how it was only available in French [24]. Additionally, I do not think I need to fully understand French to be enchanted by the angelic singing voice of Marie.P, the singer who did the singing voice of Charlie for the French dub [19]. Despite how some of us can at least enjoy a cartoon without fully understanding a foreign dub, any fellow English-speaking Hazbeans could try watching the French dub after activating English subtitles in the settings, but I honestly do not recommend that as Google’s translating is not always one-hundred percent accurate unless the uploader puts some effort into providing fairly accurate translations in the subtitles [3] [4] [19].

I also do not have to fully understand the French version of Alastor’s song to enjoy how upbeat it sounds [19], even though the radio demon has proven himself to be one of the most powerful characters towards the end of the pilot [18]. [19]

“Les Dictées de Rayman” was also known as “Rayman Dictées” and was one of Rayman’s most well-spoken moments [3] [4], even though the educational game was only available in French. I am sure that plenty of French ’90s kids who enjoyed the game back then shall enjoy the French dub of the pilot of Hazbin Hotel as fairly young adults in 2020 [19]. [24]

It looks the voice acting is not the only thing about the pilot that has been converted into French for French viewers [19]. Various text in the hellishly vibrant backgrounds has been changed from English to French, including the contact details on Charlie’s hellphone and the red signs aimed at sinners to warn them about their punishments [18] [19], which further increases the dub’s accessibility for those who can only speak and understand French. On the other hand, not every example of text has been translated into French, such as the “666 News” logo, which is no big deal to me since I understand that learning a new language is not as easy and carefully displaying good translations may be slightly time-consuming. Moreover, at least some effort has been put into at least a fair amount of text for French viewers. And ultimately, many of us cartoon critics would believe that well-spoken dialogue associated with a plot is far more important [18]. Taking some time to edit a fair amount of English text into an accurate translation of any other language further shows the associates' credibility and reliability when it comes to making an official dub highly accurate [19].

The word “punishment” translated into French for the French dub of Hazbin Hotel’s pilot. [18] [19]

Oh great. Even the creepy letter sent to Angel Dust has been translated into French. Oh joy. [19]

What also interests me about the French dub is that the images of the established characters in the credits are different compared to the English dub [18] [19]. I like how Angel Dust can be seen with Fat Nuggets, his pet pig [6]. And no, I am not going to comment on how he is only in his underwear like a complete pervert [19]. I can see that the way Vaggie seems to be worried as she sees Charlie’s firework through a window is yet another sign of her loyalty and compassion for her [18]. We are once again confronted by Alastor looking rather demonic with glowing red eyes as he appears to be manipulating a shadow. How Niffty is holding a carton of juice instead of a bottle of wine could be a sign of her being a teetotaler [19], which can expand on her character to a degree. How different images of characters appear exclusively in a French dub of the pilot reminds me of how the main characters of the Sly Cooper series were drawn and animated very differently in the Japanese version of Sly Raccoon and how Crash Bandicoot received an exclusive design to appeal to Japanese gamers [1] [29].

Sir Pentious is also seen having a nice cuppa in the credits of the French dub. Looks like the next war is none of his business [16]. [19]

I am aware that some Western Sly Cooper fans prefer the art style of the cutscenes in the Japanese version of the first Sly Cooper game over the art style of them in the Western releases. [29]

Since we are still waiting for the pilot to expand into a series, I would also like to express some more hopes for what can enhance the premise’s legacy [30] [31] [32] [33]. Medrano has mentioned her interest in producing a Halloween special with her loyal crew, which would make sense since Hazbin Hotel is set in Hell [7]. A Christmas special would also be speculator, even though Christmas was meant to be for celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, according to Christianity [2]. I would still like a little karma hurled at the mean and homophobic Katie Killjoy. Since Niffty is simply adorable, I would also like to see her excel in bilingualism [8]. And who knows? There could be a death metal number to give the series an Aggretsuko vibe [22], which can fit the premise of a hotel set in Hell. Surely some fellow Hazbeans who are also fellow metalheads cannot go wrong with some French metal in the French dub of a new episode [17] [21]. It is still uncertain what is next for Hazbin Hotel at this point, so let us simply appreciates how the pilot has received a new version that consists of another language to increase the population of the Hazbean empire [7].

I would still like to see a softer side of Angel Dust in a new episode of Hazbin Hotel [32] [33]. Maybe his pet piggy can help [6]. [19]

Even if another establishment of Hazbin Hotel is only a language dub of the pilot, I strongly believe that Medrano still has this inspirational quote from Lotte Reinigen on her mind [18]. I also believe that she can still take it to heart for another episode. [19]

In conclusion, I am impressed at how the Hazbin Hotel Version Française team has managed to increase the pilot’s accessibility for viewers who speak French by establishing an official French dub [19]. But of course, dubs in different languages do not always have to be official as there have been some multilanguage dubs done by foreign Hazbeans before the release of the official French dub of the whole pilot [14]. In addition to that, there can always be a fanmade English dub of an anime that firstly aired in Japan [27]. According to Medrano’s message of gratefully thanking the French crew, more dubs of Hazbin Hotel’s pilot will soon be established for the sake of more appeal and accessibility, such as a Spanish dub for plenty of Mexican viewers. Surely French has been referred to as “the language of love” [13], but plenty of us also consider Spanish to be a romantic language too, including yours truly [23] [25]. The same hopes for more language dubs can apply to Helluva Boss, another pilot set in the same interpretation of Hell [20]. Furthermore, an official French dub of Helluva Boss might be uploaded onto Medrano’s channel within about a month or two. Au revoir, fellow sinners.

Choosing to establish an official Spanish next would make sense since Vaggie can speak Spanish and has demonstrated her ability in the pilot [9] [18]. [19]

Bonne chance, Vivienne Medrano, Lucy Studer, Cécilia “Calis” Goncalves, et Mathilde Sauvaitre! Cheers, fellow Hazbeans! And adiós por ahora. [19]
