My Little Repeats 200: "Spring Breakdown"

EqG Special: "Spring Breakdown"

30 Mar 2019

My original rating: ★★

IMDb score: 6.7

The one with Applejack being seasick a lot

Thoughts: I can put it off no longer. Herewith a thankfully short rewatch review of possibly the most tedious piece of animation ever released in the G4 era. For a start, Ragamuffin. Yes, I know we eventually found out his accent was a put-on, but my how we suffered before then. A potentially fun story about a storm and a tropical island and Equestria became an utter chore. Basically nothing happened for the first half, beyond Rainbow Dash being annoying, and then only little things happened for the second half. Trixie was amusing, the parrot was fun, and er... The ending might have been interesting, but we now know that it never went anywhere. It avoids a one-star rating simply because "All Good" is a pretty solid song. A huge disappointment from Nick Confalone.

Choice quote: Fluttershy: Is the sea monster okay in the story?

New rating: ★★ (just)

Ah, thank Celestia that's over. Next up, it's back to Friendship is Magic and the very last season of the show. "The Beginning of the End, part 1" will be the first rewatch in that sub-series, and I hope it won't be almost two months until I get there this time!
