Talk:Rescue at Midnight Castle

I don't this this article (as well as other articles abpout My Little Pony) should be place in the Category:Pegasus. While Pegasi appear in it, the show is not about the Pegasus itself. Wikipedia:Categorization#Categorizing_pages states that "A central concept used in categorising articles is that of the defining characteristics of a subject of the article." And just because some Pegasi appear in the film, Pegsus is not a defining characteristic of it. Gial Ackbar (talk) 17:16, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pilot ?

[edit]

The first paragraph of the article states that this special was "released as a pilot of the proposed television series".

Is there any evidence of this? Had a series been proposed during or before production of this special? Note that it was simply titled 'My Little Pony' upon initial release, implying that it was a one off thing. Also, I don't think the people who made this (John Gibbs, Bob Richardson, Karl Geurs, Johnny Douglas) would have had time to produce a full series, seeing as how they were busy writing, directing and scoring Dungeons & Dragons.

Special vs Episode titles

[edit]

As far as I can find, this special was originally just called My Little Pony, and got the Midnight Castle title when it was turned into an episode of the 1986 series (it seems like some versions of the show use "Rescue at" and others "Escape from"; I can't find one using "Rescue from"). The only citations used here all use the plain My Little Pony title, and it seems to have always been officially released under that name (as far as I can find). I'm not sure which is considered the more common name (especially in older sources), or what exactly the rules are about TV titles, but I feel like moving this to something "My Little Pony (1984 special)" might be worth considering.
