The episode started off like any other episode, but had very poor quality animation. If you've seen the original animation for Episode 1, it was similar, but less stable. The first act was fairly normal, but the way the characters acted was a little off. Rainbow Dash seemed angrier, Rarity seemed depressed, Twilight Sparkle seemed anxious, Pinkie Pie seemed to have genuine anger and hatred for her friends.
The episode was about the ponies going on a train ride, near the end of the first act, the train was speeding up. Pinkie was fooling around, as you'd expect. However, as the train was going 100 miles per hour, Pinkie broke a window on the train and fell out.
At the beginning of the series, Lauren had an idea that the animated style of Equestria represented life, and that death turned things more realistic. This was used in this episode. The picture of Pinkie's corpse was barely recognizable, they took full advantage of it not having to move, and made an almost photo-realistic drawing of her dead body.
Act one ended with the shot of Pinkie's corpse. When act two started, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Twilight were sitting at a table, crying. The crying went on and on, it got more pained, and sounded more realistic, better acting than you would think possible. The animation started to decay even more as they cried, and you could hear murmuring in the background. The characters could barely be made out, they were stretching and blurring, they looked like deformed shadows with random bright colors thrown on them. There were faces looking in the window, flashing in and out so you were never sure what they looked like. This crying went on for all of act two. |
