My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

The Elements of Harmony (2) - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When the ponies encounter the Manticore, it raises its paws and shows its undersides and Fluttershy notices something, even though nothing was there. Then when they stop attacking the Manticore, it shows its paw to Fluttershy to reveal a thorn, but the thorn wasn't there earlier. (00:05:25 - 00:06:20)

Bats! - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Fluttershy reveals that she still has a fang left over from when she was a bat pony. This wasn't carried over, and her teeth have been normal since.

Show generally

Other mistake: During Pinkie Pie's 'Smile Song', there is a scene where Pinkie Pie is jumping on a skipping rope (jump rope). Initially, the rope is held by two other ponies. However, at one point, these ponies are no longer holding the rope and the rope is just floating there. It isn't held by unicorn magic otherwise there would be a glow that appears when a unicorn holds something with magic, neither is anyone's horn glowing.

Baby Cakes - S2-E13

Other mistake: During Pinkie's Piggy Dance, she pokes out between the two babies. The female baby shifts over, then a lump appears on her chest that should be her front right leg. However, the lack of a line makes it appear to be on her chest.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In Pinkie Pie's Smile Song, at one point, there is a magenta pony with a purple mane. To her right are a yellow pony and a violet pony. To her left, there are a blue pony and a turquoise pony. In the next shot, the yellow pony and violet pony are on the wrong side of the magenta pony, separated by a mint green pony that was to the right of both the yellow and violet pony in the last shot. When the spinning shot plays, pay attention to the left of the screen to see the wrong order of ponies.

Bats! - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: During the "Stop the bats..." in the song, Rainbow is shown behind Flutter-shy, but when she walks in front in the same shot, the mane colours are swapped.

Bats! - S4-E7

Other mistake: During the song, as the cardboard tree falls, Apple-Jack lifts her hoof in a way it couldn't possibly bend.

Bats! - S4-E7

Continuity mistake: During the song, a bat spits out an apple that falls on its side. In the next shot, that same apple is upright.

Stare Master - S1-E17

Deliberate mistake: When Fluttershy is telling off the cockatrice, her back legs and her wings turn to stone. But when she gives it the stare and the camera is right in her face her wings are outstretched.

Lily Harrison

A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2 - S2-E26

Continuity mistake: In the shot just before it goes back to Twilight and Cadence when they are about to escape, it shows Lyra Heartstrings in the crowd. When the shot does go back to Twilight and Cadence, it shows Lyra as a bridesmaid. Likewise, in part 1, Lyra is still a bridesmaid.

Party of One - S1-E25

Rainbow Dash: Oh you want to do this the hard way? we do this the hard way!

More quotes from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

Trivia: There are a lot of Greek references. Cerberus, Tartarus, a messengers boots (Hermes reference) and the princesses. Twilight is the Greek word for friend love, or Philia. Cadence is Eros, or romantic love. Celestia is Agape, the love God has for mankind. Well, Celestia is kind of a god. Luna is Storge, love of a mother and child. This works because she has helped Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle in a motherly way. She was a mentor to both of them.

More trivia for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

Answer: The smoke floats a few feet away from Twilight and close to the camera so you might think that the smoke is right in her face.
