History WesternAnimation / MyLittlePonyTVSpecials

* CoversAlwaysLie: The [[http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p31/spikethedragon/mystery.jpg European covers]] for both specials relate to the actual content very little. The ''Rescue at Midnight Castle'' cover shows many ponies who aren't even in the episodes, and for some reason Spike has wings and is big enough to be ridden by Megan. The ''Escape From Catrina'' cover shows a prototypical version of Danny with pretty much nothing from the special in it.

** Is the villain in the first special named Tirek or Tirac? Not even Wiki/ThisVeryWiki can agree on it. Website/IMDb further clouds the argument with the spelling Tirak. The G4 version of him is named "Tirek" according to the credits of the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E25TwilightsKingdomPart1 "Twilight's Kingdom"]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E26TwilightsKingdomPart2 two-parter]]. According to the 1986 "My Little Pony 'n Friends" show bible, his name is "Tirac". Here's the [[https://imgur.com/a/OL8Nc proof.]]

* FloatingInABubble: When Megan and Applejack fall in the river, they end up within a giant air bubble and are easily carried around in it, floating around weightlessly instead of falling through the water they're technically standing on.

* AdultFear: Both specials involve a girl who can't be older than fourteen. In the first, she is essentially kidnapped by a talking pony and almost murdered by a would-be tyrant. This might cause some viewers to wonder what her parents thought when she was gone. The second special involves the antagonist nearly murdering a baby pony.

EvilOverlord Tirac requires four ponies to use as [[BalefulPolymorph demons]] to pull his chariot to bring in TheNightThatNeverEnds in order to TakeOverTheWorld. He sends his henchman [[AntiVillain Scorpan]] to carry out the task. The special actually begins with the ponies enjoying themselves in Dream Valley until Scorpan and his subordinates attack. Two ponies are captured in the attack.

In light of the first assault by Scorpan and his army of [[OurDragonsAreDifferent stratadons]], the rest of the ponies panic and hide in Dream Castle, pulling up the drawbridge. Fearful that anyone can be next, Firefly goes off for help and decides to ask it of the very first human she happens to come across. The human is Megan, a cowgirl who lives at a ranch at the other end of the rainbow. From there, Firefly basically kidnaps Megan to go back to Ponyland with her despite the girl being about ten years old and without a single means of helping them... yeah, Firefly's plan needed more thought (perhaps not surprising, this character would later inspire generation 4's Rainbow Dash).

Just as Firefly and Megan arrive at Dream Castle, Scorpan returns for another assault, needing more ponies to complete Tirac's plans. They abduct an adult pony and the helpless baby Ember, inspiring Megan to take action. She sets out with a handful of ponies to stop Tirac, but first they stop by the Mushrump to meet with the Moochick, a strange gnome wizard with a terrible memory and a mushroom motif. He gives Megan a locket called "The Rainbow of Light" and they are on their way. Once at Midnight Castle, they break in and confront the evil overlord himself.

The Little Ponies prepare for a "Welcome Back" party for their human friend, Megan. (Strangely, absolutely none of the original ponies from the first special appear in this follow-up, so it's anyone's guess why they're welcoming her back). Meanwhile, little furballs called Bushwoolies toil in a pit for Catrina, a drug-addicted {{Catgirl}} with magic powers, under the watchful eye of a shape-shifting lizard-man named Rep. When they revolt and escape, she tries to make the Little Ponies her new slaves to keep her machine working.

* SignatureStyle: The resemblance of ''Rescue at Midnight Castle'' to ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' can be explained by the fact that it was made by the same production team responsible for the ''WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons'' cartoon.

* OurCentaursAreDifferent: Tirac is a cross between this and a BigRedDevi, with a horselike lower body and red-skinned, bull-horned humanoid upper.

%%* GirlishPigtails: Bowtie.

* PainfulTransformation: While their exact feelings aren't explored, the ponies who are turned into dragons by Tirac are clearly terrified and in distress during the process.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Quite a number of them in the first special, including future main character, Spike.

* EverybodyLaughsEnding: The first TV special ends with Megan, the ponies, Spike and Scorpan laughing together after Tirac's defeat

* RememberTheNewGuy: Most of the ponies in ''Escape From Catrina'' debuted there -- almost none of the first special's cast appears -- yet they're celebrating for Megan's return.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Tirac is a ''very'' thinly veiled {{Expy}} of Satan. Remove his back legs and you're left with a red, horned, cloven hoofed lord of evil who turns beauty into ugliness with the "Power of Darkness". In a show about magical, candy colored ponies. [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic You know, for kids!]]

* RecycledPremise: The plot of the second special is near identical to the first: BigBad wants to kidnap ponies to serve their purposes and they have to be stopped. Oh, and Tirac and Catrina both have AntiVillain employees.

* ReforgedIntoAMinion: The ponies transformed into demon-dragons by the Rainbow of Darkness.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Most of the ponies in ''Escape From Catrina'', yet they're celebrating for Megan's return.

*** According to the 1986 "My Little Pony 'n Friends" show bible, his name is "Tirac." Here's the proof: [[https://imgur.com/a/OL8Nc]]

** In ''Escape from Catrina'', we have Megan and, to a certain extent, Sundance.
* AdultFear: Both specials involved a girl who couldn't be older than fourteen. In the first, she is essentially kidnapped by a talking pony and almost murdered. This might cause some viewers to wonder what her parents thought when she was gone. The second special involved the antagonist nearly murdering a filly.

* AnotherDimension: Not outright stated, but it is heavily implied that rainbows are passage ways between our mundane Earth and the ponies' [[MagicalLand Ponyland]]. Plus, had Megan lived in the same reality as the ponies, that Firefly could speak and fly would not have come as a surprise to her. Another explanation is that they do live in the same reality but the Ponyland ponies live far in an area from "normal" places.
* AntiVillain: Scorpan in the first TV special, Rep in the second. By the end, he's become an AntiHero ('''Type II''').

** Baby Moondancer in ''Escape from Catrina''.

* DisneyVillainDeath: Subverted, Catrina nearly falls into a pit at the end of the special, but the ponies and Rep save her after she agrees to destroy the Witchweed Potion machine and thus the source of her insanity.
%%* DistressedDude: Rep in ''Escape From Catrina''.
* TheDogBitesBack: Scorpan and Spike against Tirac in the first special, Rep against Catrina in the second.

* EightiesHair: Even though they're horses, several ponies in the pilot have hair in this style. Megan herself surprisingly doesn't -- her hairstyle is a timeless ponytail.

* LadyLand: A staple of the series besides ''Tales'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. The 2000 specials have no male Ponies actually.
* LastSecondChance: Catrina is offered this, and she actually accepts it.
* LighterAndSofter: ''Everything'' after the first TV special was this. The first special was pretty dark and grim for a kids show, included ''ponies set on fire'', considerable violence, threatening beheading, and the BigBad was brutally killed at the end. Ironic in that this was how the ''My Little Pony'' show ''began'', as possibly the most hardcore TV cartoon of its time, yet its second and third generations created such a powerful reputation as a little girl show that it was difficult for many to believe ''My Little Pony'' could ever be anything else even when ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic]]'' came along to change the show's style again.
* LittleGirlsKickShins: Baby Moondancer does this to Rep when he attempts to kidnap her.

* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Scorpan. That fact that he looks like ''Satan'' may have something to do with it.

* MoralityPet: Spike is this for Scorpan on the first TV special; Rep ''tries'' to be this for Catrina in the second.

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Tirac keeps a large force of stratadons, creatures essentially resembling the lizard-bellied, fat-bodied dragons of older cartoons in all respects save being transformed butterflies. He later turns the captured ponies into another, unnamed sort of draconic monsters, which have large tusks and no wings, but can nonetheless run through the air.
* PainfulTransformation: ''Strongly'' implied in the case of the ponies who are turned into dragons.

* TagalongKid:
** Averted with Megan. The ponies are tagging along with her.
** Played straight with Ember and Spike, though.
* TeamMom: Medley, at least until Megan comes. Like her, she is always the soft spoken voice of reason in the group.

** Notably there's a [[http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg225/britesprite85/FIreflys%20Adventure/PDVD_050.jpg white mare]] who appears with Twinkles but never had a toy. Common theory is that she's the [[http://mylittlewiki.org/w/images/9/94/Newborn-porcelain.jpg "First Born"]] figurine.

** Tirac is the trope codifier for truly creepy evil in a land of otherwise cutesy happiness. A dark and shadowy centaur that corrupts ponies into demon dragons.
** Catrina follows the tradition; a drug-addicted witch driven absolutely mad with the need to feed her chemical hunger, who enslaves smaller creatures with terrifying displays of magic and attempts to ''work them to death'' in order to keep up her supply of drugs.

%%* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Rep, again.

** In the first special, an unnamed white pony with a multi-color mane, who is accompanied by a cat later given to Peaches, was never named or made into a toy.
** None of the ponies from the first special appear in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'', nor in the second special.

* WouldHurtAChild: Tirac. The only reason he doesn't turn Ember into a dragon is because she's too small to pull his chariot.

* FungusHumongous: The Mushromp, home of the Moochick, is a patch of land filled with mushrooms with caps wider than the ponies are tall, one of which has been hollowed out to make [[MushroomHouse the Moochick's house]].

* GirlishPigtails: Bowtie.

* HeelFaceTurn: Scorpan and Catrina.

* OurCentaursAreDifferent: Tirac is one.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: The dragons of Tirac's army, and the dragons he morphs the ponies into.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Firefly and Medley, respectively.

* AbsentMindedProfessor: '''The Moochick''', in spades. In fact, he has an entire song dedicated to this.

** In ''Midnight Castle'', there are three of them: Megan, Firefly, and Bowtie.

* AnAesop: In ''Catrina'', the witchweed potion is apparently a metaphor for drugs, and as most people know, DrugsAreBad.

* ArtifactOfDoom: Tirac's Rainbow of Darkness. Normally is contained into a pouch, where it throbs like a heart and shines with an eerie, creepy glow. Also, Catrina's Witchweed potion, to which she is completely addicted.

** "Danger is my life!" says Firefly, who later ''kicks a dragon in the face''.

* BigDamnHeroes: The Sea Ponies, of course.

* DistressedDude: Rep in ''Escape From Catrina''.

* EmergingFromTheShadows: Tirac.

* ErmineCapeEffect: After Scorpan is transformed back to his original form of a handsome prince, he's wearing the [[RequisiteRoyalRegalia requisite]] ermine cape.

* EverybodyLaughsEnding: The first TV special.
* EvilIsHammy: Guess.

* FireForgedFriends: Megan and the ponies.

* FungusHumongous: The Mushromp, home of the Moochick, is a mushroom so large it's been converted into a fairly sizable house for the gnome, one big enough to fit several pony visitors.
* FurryConfusion: Megan has a pony. A non-sentient pony. Though admittedly she lives in the human world while the ponies live in Dream Valley.

* HypercompetentSidekick:
** The Moochick's long-suffering rabbit, Habit, definitely counts.
** Firefly and Bowtie for Megan.

* [[LittleGirlsKickShins Little Fillies Kick Shins]]: Baby Moondancer does this to Rep when he attempts to kidnap her.
* LizardFolk: Rep.

* TheNightThatNeverEnds: Tirac's ultimate goal in the first TV special is The TropeNamer.

* NoOntologicalInertia: After Tirac is killed, his entire kingdom reverts to a pleasant countryside, and everyone he transformed goes back to normal.

* OffWithHisHead: Tirac threatens Scorpan with making heads roll--Spike's head if he fails at bringing him the final pony before midnight. This was the last straw for Scorpan, who allies with the ponies and turns against Tirac.

* RedOniBlueOni: Firefly plays Red Oni to everyone else in the special, but especially Medley and Twilight.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Rep, again.

* WingedUnicorn: In ''Escape from Catrina'', a {{Blooper}} causes pegasus Baby Surprise to have a horn for a couple of shots during the song "Let's Not Take A Nap".
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Catrina's Witchweed potion gives her immense magical powers at the cost of her morality & sanity.
* WouldHurtAChild: Tirac. The only reason he doesn't turn Ember into a dragon is because she's too small to pull his chariot.

* HairDecorations: Megan's ponytail ribbon, the ponies' tail ribbons in general, and Bowtie's pigtail ribbons.

In light of the first assault by Scorpan and his army of [[OurDragonsAreDifferent stratadons]], the rest of the ponies panic and hide in Dream Castle, pulling up the drawbridge. Fearful that anyone can be next, Firefly goes off for help and decides to ask it of the very first human she happens to come across. The human is Megan, a cowgirl who lives at a ranch at the other end of the rainbow. From there, Firefly basically kidnaps Megan to go back to Ponyland with her despite the girl being about ten years old and without a single means of helping them... yeah, Firefly's plan needed more thought (perhaps not surprising, this character would later inspire the current generation's Rainbow Dash).

* ArtifactOfDoom: Tirac Rainbow of Darkness. Normally is contained into a pouch, where it throbs like a heart and shines with an eerie, creepy glow. Also, Catrina's Witchweed potion, to which she is completely addicted.

* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Megan's Rainbow of Light tears Tirac apart, almost destroys Midnight Castle (with the good guys still on it) and finally drags Tirac to the sky, where he is killed on a giant ''explosion.'' But frankly he deserved it.

* FungusHumongous: The Mushromp

* GoodHurtsEvil: It only took a few seconds of struggle for Megan's ''ridiculously tiny'' Rainbow of Light to [[spoiler: absorb Tirack's Rainbow of Darkness and ''brutally'' kill him.]]

** The Moochic's long-suffering rabbit, Habit, definitely counts.

* InterspeciesRomance: On the second TV special, we have Catrina (a catwoman) who's boyfriend is a shape-shifting lizard-man named Rep.

* NobleDemon: Scorpan was like a father for Spike and tried to spare as much people as he could from falling into Tirac's hands. He also warned Megan not to interfere. Subverted in that [[spoiler:he is really an enchanted human prince and the rightful lord of the lands seized by Tirac.]]

* OffWithHisHead: Tirac threatens Scorpan with making heads roll- Spike's head if he fails at bringing him the final pony before midnight. This was the last drop for Scorpan, who allies with the ponies and turns against Tirac.

EvilOverlord Tirek requires four ponies to use as [[BalefulPolymorph demons]] to pull his chariot to bring in TheNightThatNeverEnds in order to TakeOverTheWorld. He sends his henchman [[AntiVillain Scorpan]] to carry out the task. The special actually begins with the ponies enjoying themselves in Dream Valley until Scorpan and his subordinates attack. Two ponies are captured in the attack.

Just as Firefly and Megan arrive at Dream Castle, Scorpan returns for another assault, needing more ponies to complete Tirek's plans.

He gives Megan a locket called "The Rainbow of Light" and they are on their way. Once at Midnight Castle, they break in and confront the evil overlord himself.

* ArtifactOfDoom: Tirek's Rainbow of Darkness. Normally is contained into a pouch, where it throbs like a heart and shines with an eerie, creepy glow. Also, Catrina's Witchweed potion, to which she is completely addicted.

* BadassBoast: "We have a power of our own, Tirek. Take this!"
* BadassNormal: Megan, who begins the series by fending off a ''dragon'' empty-handed and finishes the first special by [[spoiler: ''killing Tirek'']] with the Rainbow of Light.

* BodyHorror: The first three ponies being transformed by Tirek can be seen at a kind of halfway stage midway through, still crying and whimpering in fear.

** Firefly attempts her "double inside-out loop" early on in "Rescue at Midnight Castle", but fails and crashes into Applejack. She attempts it again to save Megan and later during the final battle to help defeat Tirek.

** In ''Midnight Castle'', we have five of them, including Applejack. Actually, ''especially'' Applejack, who almost drowns, later is kidnapped by Tirek's henchmen and finally is turned into a monster after she takes a direct hit of the Rainbow of Darkness.

* TheDogBitesBack: Scorpan and Spike against Tirek in the first special, Rep against Catrina in the second.

* EmergingFromTheShadows: Tirek.

** Tirek really ''shouldn't'' have threatened Scorpan with decapitating Spike, since this is what finally made Scorpan rebel against him.

* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Megan's Rainbow of Light tears Tirek apart, almost destroys Midnight Castle (with the good guys still on it) and finally drags Tirek to the sky, where he is killed on a giant ''explosion.'' But frankly he deserved it.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Scorpan's true nature is hinted at early on when he saves Megan from falling during a Stratadon attack. You can also see him clenching his fists when he has to go "yes, Master" to Tirek.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Tirek is a ''very'' thinly veiled {{Expy}} of Satan. Remove his back legs and you're left with a red, horned, cloven hoofed lord of evil who turns beauty into ugliness with the "Power of Darkness". In a show about magical, candy colored ponies. [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic You know, for kids!]]

* GoodHurtsEvil: It only took a few seconds of struggle for Megan's ''ridiculously tiny'' Rainbow of Light to [[spoiler: absorb Tirek's Rainbow of Darkness and ''brutally'' kill him.]]

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Completely averted as far as those lizardman creatures that serve Tirek are concerned. That they're actually ''good'' at their job makes Megan and the ponies' victory more impressive.

* HellishHorse: The ponies captured and transformed by Tirek become monstrous dragon-like creatures.

* JumpedAtTheCall: Megan is essentially abducted by Firefly, but once she gets there and sees Tirek's minions abducting ponies, she's immediately on board.

* TheNightThatNeverEnds: Tirek's ultimate goal in the first TV special is The TropeNamer.
* NobleDemon: Scorpan was like a father for Spike and tried to spare as much people as he could from falling into Tirek's hands. He also warned Megan not to interfere. Subverted in that [[spoiler:he is really an enchanted human prince and the rightful lord of the lands seized by Tirak.]]
* NoOntologicalInertia: After Tirek is killed, his entire kingdom reverts to a pleasant countryside, and everyone he transformed goes back to normal.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Tirek and Scorpan are drawn in a far more dark and realistic style that is unusual for such a show. In [[http://bronies.wikia.com/wiki/File:Scorpan%27s_human_form.jpg his true human form]], Scorpan is dark-haired and mature. In fact, he looks to be based on Creator/RobertTaylor.
* OffWithHisHead: Tirek threatens Scorpan with making heads roll- Spike's head if he fails at bringing him the final pony before midnight. This was the last drop for Scorpan, who allies with the ponies and turns against Tirek.

* OurCentaursAreDifferent: Tirek is one.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: The dragons of Tirek's army, and the dragons he morphs the ponies into.

* PowerEchoes: Tirek's voice, two sentences out of three, has an echo under it. Why? 'Cause he's ''evil''. Or he's mostly in a castle with flat stone walls and probably isn't the type to decorate with tapestries or chandeliers.

* PragmaticVillainy: Tirek doesn't hurt Ember... but only because she's too small to pull his chariot.

* RecycledPremise: The plot of the second special is near identical to the first: BigBad wants to kidnap ponies to serve their purposes and they have to be stopped. Oh, and Tirek and Catrina both have AntiVillain employees.

** When we first see Tirek, his face is never seen, and he is petting the bag containing his Rainbow of Darkness as though it were a cat. Much like [[Film/JamesBond Ernst Stavro Blofeld]].

** Tirek is the trope codifier for truly creepy evil in a land of otherwise cutesy happiness. A dark and shadowy centaur that corrupts ponies into demon dragons.

* WouldHurtAChild: Tirek. The only reason he doesn't turn Ember into a dragon is because she's too small to pull his chariot.

** None of the ponies from the first special appear in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends''.

* WouldHurtAChild: Tirek. The only reason he doesn't turn Ember into a dragon is because she's too small to pull his chariot.
* HairDecorations: Megan's ponytail ribbon, the ponies' tail ribbons in general, and Bowtie's pigtail ribbons

** Applejack falls off the bridge into a quite deep river. Megan jumps after her. Everything looks like Applejack is about to drown. Suddenly, [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment SHOO BE DOO]], [[EarWorm SHOOP SHOOP BE DOO]]!

* GRatedDrug: Witchweed potion. It turns {{Cat|sAreMean}}rina, who used to be a much nicer {{Petting Zoo Pe|ople}}rson, into a [[OneWingedAngel huge demonic giant]] that shoots lightning out of her eyes. (Certainly, this is a [[SpaceWhaleAesop well-documented side-effect]] of real narcotics...)

Based on Hasbro's ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' toyline. Created in TheEighties, this pair of MerchandiseDriven half-hour TV specials came with the wide success of the toyline. The first was aired in 1984 and another in 1985. They were followed by ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie'', which was in-turn followed by a TV series called ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends''.
