This is an episode I've been wanting to see since I started watching. That is an episode involving what happens after the CMC get there cutie marks, and it is handled quite well. It was written by Dave Polsky and Josh Harber. I personally really like the idea of a writer from the first season, Dave Polsky being a writer for such a big episode, like how Amy Keaton Rodgers wrote Crusaders of the Lost Mark.
While this may not be the funniest episode of the show as some of the jokes are quite predictable, it still has some good laughs like Applebloom learning to dance and Scootaloo teaching her friends to scooter. However what really makes this episode work is it follows through with a great idea and treats it very well and quite maturely. It doesn't hurt that I love these characters and always wanted to see them do more such things in the future. The message here is quite great and come naturally from the characters. Again it works because these are such great characters. What also helps here is just little character moments that didn't need to be there but help so much, such as the improvement of Sweetie Belle's magic and Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle being caught up in looking at their own cutie marks. This was also our first song for the season and it is quite good.
This morning's storyboard artist were Hanna Lee (who has worked for the show since Season 2) and Ward Jenkins.
