Their expectations crumble before their very eyes like a piece of paper inside a furnace. Not soon enough they realize that, respectively: Princess Celestia is too busy greeting boring snobbish people the animals don’t really want to hang out with Fluttershy The ballroom is the most boring and annoying place in the whole castle The Wonderbolts are tossed side to side like the celebrities they are Prince Charming is actually Prince Douchebag and high class society people don’t have a taste for the food Applejack bakes. And Applejack sets her selling post looking forward to do some sales and gather money for the farm. Rarity trots to her beloved Prince Charming. Rainbow Dash goes to meet and hang out with her heroes The Wonderbolts. Pinkie Pie goes to the ballroom to dance and play games. Fluttershy goes to the garden to enjoy the flowers and the little animals. Twilight gets to Princess Celestia’s side, looking forward to talk with her, just have a nice chat about magic and what she learnt about friendship. And then disappointment hits the plot like a freight train through a busy city street! If the freight train was made of mourn and explosives. So after that number the six main ponies leave to meet their much hyped expectations and like all the kids waiting for what they’ve been looking forward to for basically their whole lives they run to enjoy it. Let that song set the tone for the rest of the episode because it only gets better from there. Really well composed, the rhymes are not forced or tricked, and it feels like what you’ll get if you put Alan Menken and John Williams together in the same room. The musical number “At the Gala” is so good and so well done that all I could say by the end of the song was: “Oh shit, Winter Wrap Up has biiiiiiiiiig problems!” It’s a choir driven, fully orchestrated musical piece that tells you the motivations of each of the six main ponies that ranges from the traditional melody to a rock ballad to a minuet. And in this episode we are given something she didn’t do yet and that is a massive musical number. So right from the start I see the name of Amy Keating Rogers behind the writer credit and I yelled out like a Hooligan happy and waving a pink flag, because Amy Keating Rogers is the best frigging writer of this show! Not only because she did the biggest number of scripts so far (6 scripts for “Ticket Master”, “Applebuck season”, “Briddle Gossip”, “Fall Weathers Friends”, “A Dog and Pony Show” and this one), but because she has a perfect balance for story-telling, slapstick, morals and character development.
