* InconsistentSpelling:
** Is the villain in the first special named Tirek or Tirac? Not even Website/ThisVeryWiki can agree on it. Website/IMDb further clouds the argument with the spelling Tirak. The G4 version of him is named "Tirek" according to the credits of the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E25TwilightsKingdomPart1 "Twilight's Kingdom"]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E26TwilightsKingdomPart2 two-parter]]. According to the 1986 "My Little Pony 'n Friends" show bible, his name is "Tirac". Here's the [[https://imgur.com/a/OL8Nc proof.]]
** The later edition (and subsequent 2-part syndication version) of "Escape from Catrina" misspells Catrina's name in the title.
** "Katrina" or "Catrina" is a common debate amongst fans.



** The seaponies return just after Megan and the ponies have arrived outside dark and scary Midnight Castle.

* AnAesop: In ''Escape from Catrina'', the witchweed potion is apparently a metaphor for drugs -- and, of course, DrugsAreBad.

"Tales" is part of the 1st generation. The 2nd generation of MLP didn't have a cartoon.


* LadyLand: A staple of the series besides ''Tales'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. The 2000 specials have no male ponies at all.

* LighterAndSofter: ''Everything'' after the first TV special was this. The first special was pretty dark and grim for a kids show, included ''ponies set on fire'', considerable violence, threatened beheading, and the BigBad being brutally killed at the end. Ironic in that this was how the ''My Little Pony'' show ''began'', as possibly the most hardcore TV cartoon of its time, yet its second and third generations created such a powerful reputation as a shallow show that it was difficult for many to believe ''My Little Pony'' could ever be anything else even when ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic]]'' came along to change the show's style again.
