This guy has dug out a bunch of animation errors from various Friendship is Magic episodes. It's pretty entertaining. A lot of this stuff was discussed on /co/ back in the day.
Meh, I'd just as soon be oblivious, honestly. I don't want my enjoyment of the show to suffer because I keep noticing "oh yeah, this is the part where . . ."
I can't really blame the animators for these- they do some pretty complicated stuff in flash, and it's inevitable that weird mistakes and glitches pop up.
Still, you have to wonder how stuff like that blue cyclops pony happens...
@Anonymous BECAUSE I AM BOTH A FAGGOT AND A KNOWLEDGABLE PERSON ABOUT HOW LAZY PEOPLE ARE... Episode 4: 2:06; personally would love to see the edit uploaded proper.
Creator of the videos here: I'm planning on making a final blooper video that will compile every mistake from my previous vids and a few extra ones. I was planning on sending it to this site, but I guess it was inevitable that someone would submit my vids early.
Also sorry for the nightmare fuel pictures, but I tend to get bored and sneak in little surprises in my vids. I'll try to abstain myself for the final video (Or keep things fluffy and cute at least).
there is also another double rainbow dash in a couple other episodes if im correct but they look EXACTLY like RD i think one of them is in the Trixie episode if im correct not sure but cool finds they things at the end freaked me out a little though haha...BLANK FLANK got a little old also tee hee
As an animation fan, I LOVE spotting errors and easter eggs, but man I didn't think this show would have so many. A handful I already knew, but the one I didn't were pretty funny. I found the storyboard drawing hiccup interesting. It's like one of the animators was going through frames and saw it, moved it a bit, then finally got rid of it, lol.
I remember seeing one of threads on /CO/ discussing the errors just before watching a few of the episodes. They become real "what has been seen cannot be unseen" kind of things after that. It drives you a bit mad after awhile.
@ Narwhal's Bend Not sure who the source is, but I think the image is based on a theory about why the Apple family keep pigs, as seen in the episode "Show Stoppers".
Sonic Rainboom - RD & Fluttershy switch places when the balloon first appears in Cloudsdale
Call of the Cutie - Cheerilee's tail loses the middle light pink section at various sections in the beginning.
Almost any episode with a lot of background ponies in a scene - there's at least 2-3 copies of each pony, usually in a cut & paste fashion
And if you want to get really nitpicky... you can also point out how often they simply flip the hair on characters where it is most noticeable like Twilight and her two stripes.
He missed the escapee from Pony Prison, aka the pony with the numbers on her neck in the front row at the beginning of the fashion show in Dressed for Success.
Otherwise, great catches. As well as the running jokes and Gutsman refs. Funny and educational~
Oh! Also, for those of you who cannot see the fourth video because it is blocked, I made an international version to rectify this. You can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTsuQLfiky0
I can understand the mistakes for the "blank flank" background ponies, or duplicates, nobody will really notice unless your nitpicking or heavily analyzing. The only real problem they need to step up on is the dissapearing clothing, which i noticed while watching the show casually.
Anyway, thanks for helping manifest my upcoming nightmares, moar lulz and the Rule 64.
@Narwhals' Bend The Apple Family are devouring a variety of meat products, and an interesting individual would be the creator. Though I wonder if that picture was requested or not...
I'm surprised some people are scared about being mean to the animators by posting this up. These kinds of videos HELPS the animators, so they don't make mistakes like this in the future.
How did I NOT NOTICE THESE BEFORE!?!?!? I have noticed "hiccups" in the way their hind legs move because which I only noticed because of doing pony vectors. I suppose I was too distracted by the colors and awesome of the story? I could probably watch all these episodes again and never catch them all still...
I'm surprised that they didn't mention the second episode (part 2 Mare in the Moon) when the mane ponies first walked into the chamber with the elements of harmony you can clearly see SIX elements of harmony stones on that structure holding them.
Later, after they made a point about there being only FIVE of them they pan back and you see all six are missing.
Second vid: 0:56: I guess they ran out of yellow... In Flash... ??? Third Vid 1:12: Totally going to say that from now on. 1:50 - 1:52: Didn't need to be told that one. Crapped a brick. 2:25: Hilarious. Fourth Vid: Not that great. Fifth Vid: Third secret frame: OH DEAR GOD!!!
can someone tell me what the subliminal messages are? also i dont think cupcakes scares me a lot even though(the pop-up caught me off guard)i read the description and looked at some of the fan art it dosnt scare me it just creeps me out. besides, i read something worse.(it made me feel nearly sick from all the gore but its also kind of funny)
I feel smug for noticing more than half of these and having posted them on a tumblr dedicated to animation errors weeks before the videos were made. For every one I didn't notice until this video, they miss three I discovered.
I found the freeze frame in the 4th video and I was like yay plot!
Then I found the first one in the 5th video and I was like okay then...
Then I saw the next one and I was mildly creeped out.
And finally I missed the text on the hydra and I clicked back to re-read it and accidentally stumbled onto the last freeze frame with the apple family. I'm now quite disturbed.
One mistake that he missed; Episode 23, cutie mark chronicles, 00:08, the order of zip line cables from front to back is Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom then Scootaloo. Then a few seconds later it's Scootaloo, then Apple Bloom, then Sweetie Belle!
I had no idea about the most of these, but there are at least 2 he missed... Recolored (blue) Scootaloo in the classroom and Philomena`s cage gets mirrored after the camera zooms in. Aaand I think I found all 3...
When Pinkie Pie sings the Evil Enchantress song, she jumps on an empty table at the end. The view then shifts at the other ponies then back at her, but the table suddenly has cakes and sweets on it.
In episode 2, when the ponies confront the camp crying dragon, it splashes water on them in a tantrum. When the view shifts to the ponies being splashed, you'll notice that a couple of them (The two pegasi I believe) have mysteriously switched places.
The third video also missed a missing CM on pinkie in one of those shots...

Let's hope to Celestia that nopony shows these to Goldenrusset, Flashinthepan, or Faust.
ReplyDeleteinafter first
It's a serious medical condition, you jerks!
ReplyDeleteLol vol.5 is blocked in Norway >:(
ReplyDeletewhat were they pointing out at the very end of the first one?
ReplyDeletefirst, I think? What was the mistake at the end of the first video?
ReplyDeleteActually we were watching some of these here at the studio earlier today.
ReplyDeleteMeh, I'd just as soon be oblivious, honestly. I don't want my enjoyment of the show to suffer because I keep noticing "oh yeah, this is the part where . . ."
ReplyDeleteWhat Shellsh0cker said, although I did watch 2 of these a couple of weeks ago >.<
ReplyDelete@Anonymous Scootaloo's wings are missing
ReplyDeleteWell...after my eighty second try I got the Freeze frame picture...Um yeah...thanks for that, I guess.
ReplyDeleteDuring the double Rainbow Dash one, Applejack also lost her racing number.
ReplyDeleteWe need pictures of Swanestia.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the third subliminal image in the fifth one? There's one at 1:36, another at 3:25, but there are supposedly 3.
ReplyDelete@Fluttershy Works fine for me
ReplyDeleteshoot, that cupcakes ending scared me. me too scared to see the other one :P
ReplyDeleteIm not kidding
I was laughing so hard I was crying at the first three. Nice job!
ReplyDelete*Watches Episode 4*
ReplyDeleteAUGH! CUPCAKES!!
These things are freaking entertaining.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, there won't be AS MANY in season two, but still these are lolsome.
I can't really blame the animators for these- they do some pretty complicated stuff in flash, and it's inevitable that weird mistakes and glitches pop up.
ReplyDeleteStill, you have to wonder how stuff like that blue cyclops pony happens...
Cupcakes scared me... but I continued on to Episode 5.
ReplyDeleteOne of the subliminal messages... scarred me for life.
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteBECAUSE I AM BOTH A FAGGOT AND A KNOWLEDGABLE PERSON ABOUT HOW LAZY PEOPLE ARE...
Episode 4: 2:06; personally would love to see the edit uploaded proper.
Episode 5: 1:36, 2:57, 3:25
HAVE FUN!
Hah. And i always thought continuity glitches would be less likely when every frame of animation is so painstaking.
ReplyDeleteits blank blank madness i tell ya
ReplyDeleteWhats the name of that picture and song on the "TV" at the end of Vol.4? Where can I find it?
ReplyDeleteThe cupcakes ending scared me,also. Looks like I was looking at some sort of " Forbidden Nightmare Realm" when I saw the end of Volume 4.
ReplyDelete._. ...
@Lucres
ReplyDeleteThat's what happens when you forget layers in flash.
Swarm of the century has Rainbow Dash staring at Rarity's butt for a few seconds before bowing to Celestia.
ReplyDeleteIf that's not a blooper, then thats a sign that Rainbow Dash looks at other ponies posteriors when their not paying attention.
>The Great and Powerful Quadruplets
ReplyDeleteIt's Seths birthday early this year!
Well, if anything, the biggest things the animators may want to keep an eye out are consistent props and pegasi wings.
ReplyDeleteThe blank flank issue, however, I think is just the nature of large crowds of ponies. After all, that's a lot of cutie marks to fill in.
@AnonymousThe hidden Images are 1:36, 2:57, and 3:25
ReplyDeleteZoinks! I have been found!
ReplyDeleteCreator of the videos here: I'm planning on making a final blooper video that will compile every mistake from my previous vids and a few extra ones. I was planning on sending it to this site, but I guess it was inevitable that someone would submit my vids early.

ReplyDeleteFifth video. What is going on at the apple family table? Who would even draw that?
ReplyDeleteWow, now I cannot unsee o_o
ReplyDeleteAs an animation fan, I LOVE spotting errors and easter eggs, but man I didn't think this show would have so many. A handful I already knew, but the one I didn't were pretty funny. I found the storyboard drawing hiccup interesting. It's like one of the animators was going through frames and saw it, moved it a bit, then finally got rid of it, lol.
Good, good eyeballing there, WhiteHawke!
LMAO vol 1 end was loltastic
ReplyDeleteDidn't notice her look ;p
I remember seeing one of threads on /CO/ discussing the errors just before watching a few of the episodes. They become real "what has been seen cannot be unseen" kind of things after that. It drives you a bit mad after awhile.
ReplyDeletethat had me rollin. and yet the reasoning part of my mind could see why all those blank-flanks were there. animator is lazy and saves time.
ReplyDeleteSecond video: Rainbow's Mirrored Ink-eyes.
ReplyDeleteThe Ink-mark was still on her left eye, it was just mirrored in the water. All things appear on their other sides in reflections.
At least I'm fairly sure that's what happened?
@Gnollbard
ReplyDeleteScratch that, I just woke up. Ignore the stupid.
I think if you look at any animated program you'll find these sorts of errors
ReplyDelete@ Narwhal's Bend
ReplyDeleteNot sure who the source is, but I think the image is based on a theory about why the Apple family keep pigs, as seen in the episode "Show Stoppers".
YES! Silent Hill/MLP Otherworld Pinkie at the end of vol 4 is Great!
ReplyDeletevol.4 blocked in Poland but if you have blocked one of vol in your country you can use proxy gate to avoid block.
ReplyDelete@Pen Stroke
ReplyDeletebut they do need to moniter the marks of the cast serously lot of rainbow dash mark mistakes
Hmm... I can think of a few more they missed.
ReplyDeleteSonic Rainboom - RD & Fluttershy switch places when the balloon first appears in Cloudsdale
Call of the Cutie - Cheerilee's tail loses the middle light pink section at various sections in the beginning.

And if you want to get really nitpicky... you can also point out how often they simply flip the hair on characters where it is most noticeable like Twilight and her two stripes.
Am I the only one who missed all the subliminal pics? Now I gotta go back and get all freaked out....
ReplyDeleteI never noticed so many errors. brohoof to the creator of those vids.
ReplyDeleteHe missed the escapee from Pony Prison, aka the pony with the numbers on her neck in the front row at the beginning of the fashion show in Dressed for Success.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, great catches. As well as the running jokes and Gutsman refs. Funny and educational~
Oh! Also, for those of you who cannot see the fourth video because it is blocked, I made an international version to rectify this. You can find it here:

During the Philomena catching part, Fluttershy also lost her wings while running.
ReplyDeleteI can understand the mistakes for the "blank flank" background ponies, or duplicates, nobody will really notice unless your nitpicking or heavily analyzing. The only real problem they need to step up on is the dissapearing clothing, which i noticed while watching the show casually.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks for helping manifest my upcoming nightmares, moar lulz and the Rule 64.
Hmm, we might need to double check a few things...
ReplyDelete@Anonymous no you weren't first. so shut the fuck up and leave that shit on you tube. i don't care if it ewasn't very pony of me.
ReplyDeleteI was more freaked out at the end of five then the cupcakes, nightmare stuff there
ReplyDeleteAlot of the mane cast blankflanks can be explained by perspective, but some are still legitimate mistakes.
ReplyDeleteGood, entertaining vids.
LOL, blank flank overload!
ReplyDeleteEverytime you notice stuff like this... A WIZARD DID IT!
ReplyDelete@Narwhals' Bend
ReplyDeleteThe Apple Family are devouring a variety of meat products, and an interesting individual would be the creator. Though I wonder if that picture was requested or not...
Cannot be unseen...
ReplyDeleteFOREEEEEEVVVVEEEEERRRR
Those were some interesting vids, I can't believe so many got out of pre-production.
And that's not all the errors...
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised some people are scared about being mean to the animators by posting this up. These kinds of videos HELPS the animators, so they don't make mistakes like this in the future.
I actually hope they show these to the DVD teams, so they can fix up a few of them for the releases.
ReplyDeleteThat is, if they are doing DVDs.
How did I NOT NOTICE THESE BEFORE!?!?!? I have noticed "hiccups" in the way their hind legs move because which I only noticed because of doing pony vectors.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I was too distracted by the colors and awesome of the story?
I could probably watch all these episodes again and never catch them all still...

@DavidReinold
ReplyDeleteEnd of first video -- what's the error? Wingless Scootaloo!
Yep, these were getting passed around the studio today. Made a few animators cry! :P
ReplyDeleteYou rascally televisions.
ReplyDeleteYou and your surprises.
Second vid: 0:56: I guess they ran out of yellow... In Flash... ???
ReplyDeleteThird Vid 1:12: Totally going to say that from now on. 1:50 - 1:52: Didn't need to be told that one. Crapped a brick. 2:25: Hilarious.
Fourth Vid: Not that great.
Fifth Vid: Third secret frame: OH DEAR GOD!!!
AGH GOD DOMMAT
ReplyDeleteThat very last one, I was waiting for something like that. >.< These animation errors are creepy enough on little sleep! I will have nightmares.
can someone tell me what the subliminal messages are? also i dont think cupcakes scares me a lot even though(the pop-up caught me off guard)i read the description and looked at some of the fan art it dosnt scare me it just creeps me out. besides, i read something worse.(it made me feel nearly sick from all the gore but its also kind of funny)
ReplyDeleteIt's Gutspony!
ReplyDeleteGreat, now I'm gonna notice these every time now...happiness is bliss I tell ya.
ReplyDeleteGod that "Blank Flank" crap was just ANNOYING. Do not need to hear that at full volume 100 times, especially a bunch in a row.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic. How did miss all of these? Especially all of the saddlebags?
ReplyDelete*I*
ReplyDeleteDammit, fingers.
@RocknAnakin "happiness is bliss" Well, yes, that is what that word means, more or less.
ReplyDeleteAnd how DID that pony get up there? I'll be confused all night, now.
I feel smug for noticing more than half of these and having posted them on a tumblr dedicated to animation errors weeks before the videos were made. For every one I didn't notice until this video, they miss three I discovered.
ReplyDeleteOh sweet, sweet, luna.
ReplyDeleteI found the freeze frame in the 4th video and I was like yay plot!
Then I found the first one in the 5th video and I was like okay then...
Then I saw the next one and I was mildly creeped out.
And finally I missed the text on the hydra and I clicked back to re-read it and accidentally stumbled onto the last freeze frame with the apple family. I'm now quite disturbed.
And vol. 4 is blocked in Poland... Oh horseapples.
ReplyDeleteWow. The old pony who was thrown out of the Salt Lick has the same coloration and cutie mark as Pinkie Pie's father.
ReplyDeleteThey blocked the 4th video in Belgium =(
ReplyDeleteWhy haven't I seen these before?
Its hard to spot mistakes when you're enjoying the show.
***You can use the 3th video to go to the international version for the 4th video***
ReplyDelete4 trixies, my god seth's dream has come true.
ReplyDeleteThey blocked the 4th video! D: And I haven't seen it yet! ;_;
ReplyDeleteAll of the blank Rainbow Dash flanks makes me realize, her cutie mark was probably one of the last established.
ReplyDeleteOne mistake that he missed; Episode 23, cutie mark chronicles, 00:08, the order of zip line cables from front to back is Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom then Scootaloo. Then a few seconds later it's Scootaloo, then Apple Bloom, then Sweetie Belle!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea about the most of these, but there are at least 2 he missed... Recolored (blue) Scootaloo in the classroom and Philomena`s cage gets mirrored after the camera zooms in. Aaand I think I found all 3...
ReplyDeleteEp. 23 16:54 The door to the silo has the hinge change sides. It's on the right from the outside, and the right from the inside.
ReplyDeleteBlank flank!
ReplyDeleteDouble Rainbow Dash! All the way across the Running of the Leaves!
ReplyDeleteHere are two more bloopers.
ReplyDeleteWhen Pinkie Pie sings the Evil Enchantress song, she jumps on an empty table at the end. The view then shifts at the other ponies then back at her, but the table suddenly has cakes and sweets on it.
In episode 2, when the ponies confront the camp crying dragon, it splashes water on them in a tantrum. When the view shifts to the ponies being splashed, you'll notice that a couple of them (The two pegasi I believe) have mysteriously switched places.
The third video also missed a missing CM on pinkie in one of those shots...
In episode 25 at the party near the end of the episode Appljacks party hat sometimes changes to Twilights hat and then back.
ReplyDeleteI lol'd pretty hard at the train scene in Vol.4.
ReplyDeleteApple family, you so crazy.
ReplyDeleteI'm just gonna stay up until seven now kthx.
In "The Show Stoppers", when showing the crowd every pony has a twin.
ReplyDeleteEvery pony in the mane cast has two cutie marks! On each side! Every time the switch sides, you can still see their cutie marks!
ReplyDeleteXDD wow! So many of these I missed! But The person missed the Double Pinkie Pie in one episode (I forget which one, I'll check later)
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, those subliminal message pictures are the scariest things I've ever seen D8
anyone else see the claw color-change on gilda's front right appendage?
ReplyDeleteVolume 5- 0:45 BLANK FLANKS!!!!
ReplyDeleteWait.....0:49...Cutie marks achieved! :)
