Anchovy Jellyspotter: Wah-wah-waaaaah!

@Dizzy Strings
Well, I guessed it could make sense that Verko survives Tempest’s electrocution. Just think back at how earlier in the film after Grubber shows Tempest a sponge cake, he got electrocuted by Tempest but survives. So I think that Verko have passed out after being electrocuted by Tempest because we see him in that needing credits attending the Friendship Festival. Is true that people either survived or died being electrocuted. Just think back at how Flint Lockwood got electrocuted when he’s trying to make the FLDSMDFR work but survive in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and survived being electrocuted by electrifying water in the second film, or when Tomber, Ivan, and Professor Zundapp all got electrocuted by Holly Shiftwell in Cars 2 but survived, or when Marv got electrocuted in an electrical booby trap in Home Alone 2, or Homer Simpson survived being electrocuted after taking a bite of a fish in Springfield Lake that he have electrified in the Simpsons movie. However, when Frank Grimes got electrocuted by high voltage cables in Th Simpsons’ eighth season episode, “Homer’s Enemy”, he did not survive the electrocution.

@Dizzy Strings
Not until the ending credits of the film where he recovers from his electrocution by Tempest.

How stupid do you have to be to look at Tempest’s face and decide that smushing her cheeks is a good idea?

@northern haste  
Yeah, just mere words like “kill/death” aren’t usually allowed in some kid’s media, but there are a few times they got away with it.  
Heck, you used to not be allowed to say “butt.”

@northern haste  
I won’t be long  
I might be wrong

@Beau Skunky  
I won’t be long but I think the power rangers show never said kill they said destroy it wasn’t until the pg 13 the movie they actually said kill

@northern haste  
No kidding… Disney’s/Pixar’s “Cars” is rated G, and features a brief cuss, and even a few subtle lewd jokes, I’m surprised they got away with.  
“He did WHAT in his cup?!”  
So at least, you can still get away with some things in a G-rating.
 
Another Don Bluth classic “All Dogs Go to Heaven” got away with alot too. Including dogs gambling, drinking booze, smoking cigars, and such. (None of that would allowed in a cartoon nowadays.)  
Word is, the original cut had more, (including Charlie originally saying, “Damn that Carface, I’ll kill him!” which is surprisingly uncensored in the soundtrack album) and almost got the movie a “PG” rating even back then. The studio wanted it “G,” though so they had to editit down a bit.  
They actually had the original uncensored reel in a vault, but unfortunately some unknown person stole it, and it’s whereabouts are unknown.

@Beau Skunky  
in the UK this movie is still rated g.  
to be honest the rating system is usually all over the place the first Incredibles movie still has a g rating despite having a corpse but the second film has a PG rating which only says that people died but doesn’t show any bodies

@fixman88  
Nowadays, even most “kiddy” movies are getting rated “PG.” So “G” is even lower then a kid movie now.
 
“Planet of the Apes” originally was G-rated too. …Yes, the movie featuring humans, and anthropomorphic apes getting killed, and Charleton Heston going on a famous loud cussing tangent at the end.  
Sense then, it’s been rerated “PG.”
 
And as I said, the Don Bluth classic “Secret of NIHM” was surprisingly dark, and a tad violent for a movie about a cute mouse. (And got away with a cuss word.) Though, oddly to this day it’s still rated “G,” probably just ‘cause it’s animated.
 
Then again, there’s the ‘80s Transformers animated movie, which got PG, for a few cuss words, and robots getting killed, and such. Hasbro intentionally wanted it PG, so parents would watch it too, (and become familiar with the characters, so they’d know which toys to buy for their kids) so I’m curious if that was intentional with the newer MLP movie, as well.

@Beau Skunky  
Star Trek: The Motion Picture originally had a G rating. ‘G’ originally stood for ‘General Audiences’; only later on did the rating tend to get associated with ‘kids movies’.

@Thorned Rose Ninja
 
Both awesome and underrated movies

Must…squish…pony cheeks!
 
@Dirty Bit  
I love Atlantis. Treasure Planet, too.

@Background Pony #E183  
But they’re so cute & squishy!

Do not squeesh pony cheeks without consent.

@Background Pony #33F8
 
Now you mentioned it, I have this theory each pony’s magic has their own ‘frequency’.

@northern haste  
Maybe not so much for a half-hour show, but a full-length movie is another story, especially sense they usually have to make them higher quality then 2D TV cartoons, and even add some digital CGI effects for them.

@Beau Skunky  
2D is not more expensive if it was 3d would be on TV more often.  
Even shows based on 3D movies often go to 2D. Even corner cutting movies like the emoji movie and most of Illumination’s cost more than this one did

@northern haste  
Funny you say that as the Simpsons’ movie trailers, and opening sequence poked fun at those factors.
 
Ironically, 2D is more expensive then 3D oddly, even when done digitally. (Another reason 2D animation in cinema is dying.) With a 3D model you don’t have to keep redrawing it, and such making it cheaper.

@Background Pony #36C3  
one possibility is that general audiences started to see 2D animation as cheap mostly because of a lot of TV to movie adaptations some of which were just TV movie strapped in theatres and to some degree made 2d films look like something you could get on TV for free. of course 3D animation was on Tv but it was nowhere near the same quality as theatres

@Background Pony #36C3  
Because animation is for babies, and babies don’t have money.

@Beau Skunky  
And, apparently, 21st century movie audiences are determined to keep it dead. (Seriously, why do they hate it so much?)

@Background Pony #EC2E  
Unless the circuit is de-energized.

And the moral of the story is:
 
Don’t touch an electrical socket with your bare hands.

@Dirty Bit  
I liked that one too actually. Has a more retro feel to it.
