I 've known about the stop motion shorts for a few weeks, and I finally watched one a couple of days ago to see how bad it was (specifically, it was “Cake Off”). And . . . Yeah, it was bad, folks. It wasn't even a preschool show. This was a show for babies. There was just giggling, laughing, crying, and no dialog. The short technically had a plot, but it was very simple and without substance. It's the equivalent of making funny faces and noises to try to get a baby to laugh. I'd say this was a regression to “Newborn Cuties” except “Newborn Cuties” at least has dialog. The stop motion animation is better than the cheap flash animation in “Newborn Cuties,” but the mouths are bothering me. The mouths are below the muzzles instead of on them, and the muzzles don't move with the mouths. They mostly look okay when they smile, but when they frown, the ponies look like they have stylistic human mouths beneath weird-looking noses.
The best thing I can say about the new shorts is that they're, well, short. At two minutes, they're more like long commercials. I'm just going to forget about them and wait for the new movie and G5 to come out. Even if they're not as good as FiM, they've got to be better than this.
Thanks for showing me, I hate it.
The noses are just... yeah.
We'll see g5 when we see it, I guess.
I watched the first one. Never again. Nope.
