Done watching. (I got interrupted a couple of times if you wondering why I spent like 3 hours between postings) It wasn't quite the tone that I expected. It felt like a different tonal style than the show. Very simple, like a storybook or holiday special. It wasn't bad, but I'm not sure if I could say it was a bit disappointing. But It I'll take me awhile to judge. I mean it was still quick /confy/. Core moral I think is great too. Just wish their was a bit more with that mystery tensing and rainbow toyline before it aired and mysterious vibe they had in the first part of the episode.
Scattered thoughts: Their is so much stuff going on with the lore. I find the hopeless magic interesting. Part of me could just run with every tiny question I could come up with.
How did this town not get any help? It may not be too insane actually. At least under the logic of a big Equestria. Though newer seasons have often made the world feel smaller we must remember that Equestria has been portrayed with large areas of questionable law and order (Diamond Dog gags a day's walk from ponyville anyone?) and plenty of smaller towns. This place probably just wasn't under many ponies radar.
So you're telling me there was no cool rainbow magic at all and Twilight was just waring wingbling? I thought the mane 6 would have some kind of rainbow designs happen to'em based on the promos and toys. Oh well, not the biggest thing I suppose. I still like it. Just wish they would have done more rainbow stuff with everypony else.
Opening intro and first song weak, Living in Color was just fine.
