We've seen donkeys before in the show, certainly, but never more than as the end of a joke, much less as a main character. What better of a welcome to give said donkey looking forlornly for his long-lost companion than a sugar-infused, song-filled welcome wagon by Ponyville's resident party pony? Story is conflict, or so I'm told.
If you've ever heard the fantastic
Smile, Smile, Smile, it comes from this episode. As a matter of fact, this episode held the record for most songs in a single episode until Magical Alicorn Surprise came along and destroyed that record with its seven individual tunes. It's like it was a musical or something. Back to
Smile, though- at three minutes and twenty three seconds it's certainly one of the longest, if not
the longest song in the show. It nearly takes up a full seventeen percent of the episode. That, coincidentally, is also the last time I do any math this early in the morning.
Be sure to catch Pinkie Pie Invents The Restraining Order after the break.
