In the actual episode only a few minutes were actually spent on chasing the Tantabus through different dreams. All of these episodes could have and should have been amazing, but had 2 fatal flaws each that destroyed them.ĭo Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep should have been a two parter so the episode could have had more fun with its concept. This episode gets a.My top 3 episodes of MLP I wish were written differently are Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep, The Cutie Re-Mark, and The Ending of the End. It was such an enjoyable episode, and I don't really have any complaints at all. I do wish for more episodes like this to explore more of Luna's character and this was a good start. There is some depth to her character as she reveals that she created the Tantabus to punish herself for her past actions. Luna is given a little more to do after several episodes of just her dealing with each of the Cutie Mark Crusaders' nightmares. It also delivers on its comedy, adding to the strangeness of dreams overall. The animators put a lot of thought and creativity in the dream sequences, and also putting in some nice call-backs to previous episodes. The best thing about this episode is the whole dream concept. Given the gap between this and the next episode coming up, it's a great midpoint for the season. The way that shot zooms out assures that she is finally at peace with herself. It's a nice moment that develops Luna's character more and that last shot of her sleeping on some island is a nice way to end it. Twilight convinces Luna that she has come a long way since then, and forgiving herself is the key to defeating it. This is just so no one can suffer again, which greatly backfired. With the Tantabus getting stronger, Luna reveals that she created it to punish herself for her actions as Nightmare Moon.
