Intro to the 1992 animated series My Little
Pony Tales, produced by Sunbow Production and
Walt Disney animation for Hasbro on whose toy
line the series was based.
With a new decade came a new version of the
My Little Pony franchise; one which was
unrelated to the first and quite different.
Firstly, these ponies did not live in a
magical fantasy land with witches and the
like; instead the series followed the lives
of Starlight, Sweetheart, Melody and friends.
They also were more anthropomorphised, able
to stand upright and more human-centric in
behaviour. The teenaged ponies went to
school, under the watchful eye of Miss
Hackney, as well as frequent the local Ice
Cream Shop while fretting about dating,
fashion, etc.
Some fans of the original animated version
disliked the changes done here; yet whatever
the case the series ran for one lot of 26,
fifteen minute episodes before being
cancelled.
The use of this introduction theme
clip/subject is claimed under 'Fair Use' on
the grounds of:
1) the clip/subject is used for - and
accompanied with - comments on the show.
Comments include such things as the producers
of the show (as in the production company/s),
the year it first aired and how long the
series lasted in 'standard length' episodes.
Also noted is the availability of subject on
high quality, officially licensed media (e.g.
DVD).
2a) Inferior quality of video in relation to
the quality of the original source. Being at
a much lower screen resolution at a high
level of compression. In addition to the
substantial generation loss caused as a
result of the methods used, the process also
causes compression artifacts in the form of:
loss of image clarity, noise, pixelization,
et al.
2b) The inferior nature coupled with the
incomplete nature of this recording and the
diminished potential value therein of this
recording in relation to the original work.
3) The trivial nature of the potential value
of subject's introductory theme (hereon
referred to as 'intro'), less the actual show
that would otherwise follow. On the basis
that it is the show - rather than the show's
intro - which is, in essence, the primary
draw of any 'realistic' potential audience
and therefore the main fiscal worth of the
subject (relating to audience/market share
and sales of merchandising, i.e. DVD and
video).
4) Bar the occasional glimpse at an episode's
title car, the clip is of the intro and
nothing else. The length of the clip is
determined by that of subject's intro
original length, no more is taken.
5) The poster and host both receive no
revenue from this clip's existence on this
site.
