This episode had three writers, Neal Dusedau, Michael P. Fox, and Wil Fox. This is the third episode for writer Neal Dusedau. He had previously written What About Discord? and Princess Spike. This is the second episode for the writing team of Michael P. Fox and Wil Fox. Their first episode of this show was earlier this season, with The Gift of Maud Pie. This episode was storyboarded by Ward Jenkins (who started boarding earlier this season with On Your Marks) and Kat Dela Cruz.
This episode is just a fun little episode. It may not be as funny as the episode before or have as good of a story as On Your Marks, but regardless it is just fun to watch. The characters are as likable as ever, the animation is great, and it never loses the viewer's interest. This episode however really shows what I love about this show. It has almost has the feeling of visiting good friends. It may not be as elaborately great as other episodes, but it is quite good in a different way. Simply by the whole episode simply being so pleasant. You love these characters so much that this episode simply let's you spend some time with them in this great world the creators made. This episode is simply relaxing and a lot of fun to watch. It may not be one of the show's best episodes, but when it is this pleasant why care?
However this is not to say this episode doesn't have any really great moments. The animation of AppleJack's extremely elaborate way of feeding the pigs is very funny. As is Rainbow Dash's attempts to cover up why she is at the spa.
The only real complaint is I would have liked to see more of Twilight and Spike. But again when an episode is this pleasant why care?
