Context Trivia / MyLittlePonyG3

Go To

1* ActorAllusion: Sort of. Creator/TraceyMoore played the unicorn Cheerilee, and later Mayor Flitter Flutter, so even if Cheerilee is very different now, you've still got a city run by Tracey Moore.
2* AscendedFanon: "Starwishes" (Star Catcher x Skywishes) is a very popular ship in G3. In 2023, Hasbro released a Pride-themed T-shirt with a design featuring the two, accompanied by rainbow roses.
3* CelebrityVoiceActor: Whimsey Weatherbe is voiced by Creator/KeeganConnorTracy, an actress fairly well-known for her work in live-action television and film.
4* EarlyDraftTieIn: One of the specials featured Fiesta Flair, a pony who was ultimately [[ToylessToylineCharacter canceled]] and replaced with Candy Apple. Despite being canceled, she still appeared as background pony in G3.5 as well.
5* KidsMealToy: It got Happy Meal toys in 2005, 2007, 2008, and 2009. 2005 was ponies with brushable hair and accessories. 2007 was small Ponyville Ponies. 2008 was the Core 7 and Minty to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the franchise. 2009 was G3.5; Toola-Roola was mysteriously absent from this line.
6* LateExportForYou: The G3 specials were released in Taiwan [[https://www.yesasia.com/us/my-little-pony-a-very-minty-christmas-dvd-taiwan-version/1049922183-0-0-0-en/info.html on DVD on May 6, 2016]], during Generation 4. On a site note, Japan and South Korea [[Main/NoExportForYou never released]] any of the G3 specials.
7* LicensedGame: A few games for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance, DS, and PC/Macs came out during this series' run.
8* LiveOnStage: It got a stage show from VEE Corporation called ''The World's Biggest Tea Party''.
9* OlderThanTheyThink: Pinkie Pie's ability to appear in multiple places at once and break the fourth wall didn't actually start in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. The former appeared in the second webisode "Pinkie Pie's Ferris Wheel Adventure", and the latter came about as early as "Star Song and the Magic Dance Shoes" before G3.5. Her "Pinkie Squink" is also a predecessor to G4's "Pinkie Sense" though they both work slightly differently.
10* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Fiesta Flair, a character who appeared in the short ''Pinkie Pie and the Ladybug Jamboree'' never made it into toy form. WordOfGod says that due to her Mexican accent, name and symbol there might have been backlash that caused Hasbro to rethink her development. It's telling that toy-only character Candy Apple is 100% identical to her with the maracas turned into, well, candy apples.
