I thought the episode was pretty good, and you are correct DRWolf, this episode finally answered a question people in the fandom have been asking for years, the question being "Will we ever see the CMC's as adults" and lo and behold Hasbro decided to answer that question, this maybe the first time we see the CMC's as adults but it won't be last time, in fact i think younger audiences might find this episode to be somewhat relatable, i mean it is true being a kid can be tough especially when growing up, but being an adult isn't easy either, in fact in some cases being an adult is worse than being a kid, not that it's competition, but i'm sure you all understand what i'm saying.

@@benberlin57 true

[@brianlevine871]

To be fair, MLP has made TONS of Disney references, including BATB, so this episode is no different. As for the episode itself, it was pretty good, even with the obvious message. It's great hearing the CMC's voice actresses using their natural voices for the adult CMC, which sort of fits with how the show has grown and is approaching its end. I really hope they'll all continue voice acting in other shows, or at least do something great with their lives after the show ends.

[@nikozafiris1113]

It was hard for me to tell but i think Sweetiebell was the only one who had more of a grown up voice. And also when that pet was rampaging you can see the girl from The Wisard Of Oz.

[@80MWH]

Yes, Claire Corlett’s voice sounded the most different from the others. It was a little odd the first time I heard it fully.

[@mindshuffler3332]

Now it could be that the writers didn't really intend on doing this, but I noticed that Scootaloo was never really bothered with the fact that she still couldn't fly as an adult, her wings are still tiny. This could be a way of showing that she's made peace with her disability and can still find ways to use her wings with her scooter. Of course, it is possible that she was just so excited for the fair and never really thought about it, but I do think that the former idea would be a nice subtle way of how somebody can still shine even with a physical disability.

[@mastermold10]

You didn't bring up the fact that scootaloo in her adult form has stunted wings...this is as close to the show staff confirming that she will never ever fly as we can get without them outright saying it.

[@pinkprincess6136]

When I was watching this episode, I couldn't help but think of the movie "Big" starring Tom Hanks. Both feature children who feel they'd have it easy as grownups and through magical means get to find out firsthand that being an adult isn't all it's cracked up to be.

[@kennethmanning6958]

Oh, and 1 more film reference, besides the "Beauty & the Beast" rose under glass: When the beastie jumped into tornado mode, there was a "Wizard of Oz" Dorothy pony (with Toto in a basket) caught up in the vortex!

[@davidpescitelli8004]

It was a good episode, but I do think Last Crusade would have been the better last CMC episode. Still it was nice to see them all grow up and I did like the moral on how age doesn't equal wisdom. I also liked the other moral they put in where just because someone's an adult they don't always know what's best.

I love this episode's moral. Growing up is hard to do when you don't give it enough time. We all develop and mature at our own paces, but the experiences we get in life are worth the wait.

[@kennethmanning6958]

Scootaloo (once she's REALLY grown-up) could still take up the sport of hang-gliding, I imagine. Next best thing to flying. Christopher Reeve took it up, to train for his big-screen Man of Steel debut in the "Superman" 1978 movie.

[@hedonismbot1508]

Hell, Rainbow Dash helped Apple Bloom try hang gliding way back in "Call of the Cutie". Plus Scootaloo could use the thrust from her own wings in conjunction with a hang glider. Or, as an adult, wear prosthetic wings over her foal-size wings.

[@catluvr2]

I felt the Beauty and the Beast quite strongly with the flower, and I feel like Sweetie Belle's adult design feels a little bit like Fleur's design. I can't quite put my finger on why, but I feel like it's something in the eyes.

[@raiokaii]

I really really loved this episode! It was very enjoyable. The only criticism from me is that it seemed kind of like a step back in character development for the CMC compared to their recent episodes. But I am so happy to see them grown up, and it was an awesome song!

[@juliomontoya8824]

Personally, I think of it as a tentative epilogue. "The Last Crusade" serving as their grand finale and this one serving as probably the only time we´ll ever see them as grown ups. Also, after the somewhat tense last episode, I welcome this one´s lighter tone. Although, I admit "The Last Crusade" probably should have aired after this one.

[@WinterGirlRules]

I think it works better a year or two ago than it does as one of the last episodes, but maybe its order will make more sense with whatever happens in the final episodes. Of course, even if it doesn't, we can watch this one before "The Last Crusade" on season rewatches.b

[@raiokaii]

I agree, I thought it seems more like a season 7 episode in terms of where the characters are at. I think everyone thought The Last Crusade was going to be *The Last* cmc episode. But either way I did still really like it.

[@nozimo243]

It does seem like it is a step back from earlier episodes, yet the CMC are still foals. I really believe that this episode spoke more about their age than past lessons.

[@linkonar7823]

raiokai It’s not a step back because they’re still KIDS. They’ve learned a lot, but that doesn’t mean they still don’t have many ways to go compared to an adult. They were still perfectly in character here.

[@autumbreeze1129]

8:39 that part of the song always makes me happy. Scootaloo technically just helped that clearly stressed out mother by cheering up the crying foal. Hard to really criticize them at that moment. And I never noticed the Mogwai connection there til now 😆 I did immediately get the "tale as old as time" vine when I first saw the flower too

[@Longma1]

Here's another thing I said in that leaked episode: "Honestly, with DHX playing it safe on certain things, this episode, while alright and effective as it is, feels like it could go in an older season (maybe season 3?). Yeah, not like the writers can go back and insert their story ideas into older seasons, but you'd think they'd take the chance in this final season to explore some more speculations and themes concerning the CMC growing up. From whether Scootaloo would be able to fly, to how things like time and distance would affect their relationship, to how they'd function individually. I wasn't really satisfied with how "The Last Crusade" (and now this) resolved things, but followup stories on the matters still seem viable for them, whether in the show or in fanfiction. And thinking back to past episodes (like "On Your Marks" and "Marks and Recreation"), and then on the epilogue, there's room for us to connect their themes with the current state of affairs surrounding our favorite trio."

Yes, I was so excited to see the CMC grown up! Yes, that enchanted flower made me think of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (although, the setup leading up to it made me think of Big)! No, I didn’t think of Gremlins when I saw that odd-looking pet originally, but I haven’t seen Gremlins all that much. My biggest problem with the episode is this: This is a show that has continuity from one episode to the next, and at least one winter episode has come and gone each season, which means 9 years have passed in the MLP universe since we were first introduced to the CMC. Why HAVEN’T they grown up?!

[@mattbartels]

It's not just them. There were ponies around their age like Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon and even younger than they are like Pipsqueak, Flurry Heart and the cake twins and they didn't age at all either.

[@tammraevans6634]

[@danhenry9108]

So, Scootaloo is old enough to decide for herself to do death-defying stunt work with the Washouts, but not old enough to take a train without a chaperone? Either the show is wildly inconsistent about how young the CMC (and the young ponies in general) are or Equestrian public transportation is much more dangerous than I would have thought.

[@benberlin57]

Yeah sadly consistancy has always been an issue with this show. I enjoy it anyways.

I thought the same thing about the flower inside the glass, Doc. And it's not just because Disney's Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie either (both the animated version AND the live action remake) but also because the writers of MLP have made lots of Beauty and the Beast references before. X3

[@star-stonelegend]

Like the episode where Angel and fluttershy switched bodies I actually didn’t see it coming until it was “hinted” right before it happens. It’s a pretty nice story explaining the responsibilities that adults have to do. Even I have to deal with responsibilities of my own, sure I get to play Star Wars battlefront 2 if I have time. But work does come first, besides fun is usually the best thing to do last. Nevertheless I’m still looking forward to this vacation that me and my family’s been planning for months. Basically planning to go all over Florida from cocoa beach to Orlando And etc. i’ve been looking forward to this vacation for along time. I’m getting off topic though, if you ask me I was just repeatedly saying “oh no” after seeing the grown crusaders giving those teenagers the worst advice ever known. This is basic growing up too fast scenario, still it’s a nice episode. But really bums me out the episode is that scootaloo hasn’t gotten fully grown wings, I get it she really unique but must they make her late bloomer?... One of the things I was really looking forward to in the series is seeing her being capable of flying. Oh well you know what they say beggars can’t be choosers.

Cudos to everyone who breathed life into these wonderful characters for all 9 seasons of MLPFiM /) P.S.

How much younger would Apple Bloom be than Applejack for the former to still be in school while her big sister is a working adult?

The portal might have adjusted her age, but there's also the possibility that ponies have different standards when it comes to adulthood.

Starting from here... I believe my predictions in the form of former idea for MLP Band come true. In the epilogue: all three CMCs all grow up in the end and it's now true. What didn't come true was that Apple Bloom didn't fall in love, but that's okay. So all in all, my prediction on the CMC was almost right on. In fact, I saw this episode coming miles away before it was released.

yes a s soon i saw this flower is was like is that a beauty and the beast reference and i was recently reading a fanfic that had some beaty and the beauty references, i had two head scratchers though why would the 2 ponies have a rare animal so only fluttershy would know what is was and how to calm it down, also the 2 ponies also said that the CMC were younger than them i thought the CMC were at least close to teenage and the 2 ponies didn't look much older than them

It was a ponyriffic episode and the next one will have a lot of heart ♥️ and a touching plot

This episode didn't necessarily *need* to exist. But... it was fine for what it was.

[@thedragonsage649]

somehow I didn't get any beauty and the beast or Gremlins vibes from this episode. that critter made me think of the littlest pet shop more than Mogwai, Mogwie? Mogwei? GIZMO!

Just a short news flash Dr. Wolf, but you are going to LOVE (and cry) next week episode ;)

[@greenstarlover1]

And no it's not about fluttershy.

Growing up it´s more about the experience. You don't become and adult, you fall into being one.
