This is the third episode written by Michael P. Fox and Wil Fox. Who had previously written The Gift of Maud Pie and Applejack's Day Off. Helping come up with the story was the team of Kevin Burke and Chris "Doc" Wyatt. This episode was storyboarded by Hanna Lee (Who has been storyboarding for the show since season 2) and Ward Jenkins (Who started boarding for the show earlier this season).
This is an excellent episode. The humor is spot on. Applejack as a pirate is particularly great (and of course the picture above is a hilarious moment). The animation is also excellent.
The design work is fantastic. The seaside town was designed by Laura Bifano and colored by Krista Hout. Layout artist Greg Roth designed the waves. There was also some great costume design by Kora Kosika and Charmaine Verhagen. Charmaine Verhgen also designed the knew creature. All of them did fantastic jobs and helped make this a great episode.
Most of all though this episode was just a lot of fun and whoever knew Rashomon with Ponies could be this much fun.
