Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone! Another year is coming to an end and as we welcome the new year, let’s reflect on the great things that we have been blessed with this year, like our toy hauls, LOL!
CIRCLE OF FRIENDS SONG LYRICS:
The Fire of Friendship lives in our hearts, As long as it burns we cannot drift apart. Though quarrels arise their numbers are few, Laughter and singing will see us through (will see us through). We are a circle of pony friends, A circle of friends we’ll be ’til the very end!
The G4 My Little Ponies from the popular “Friendship is Magic” cartoon series had celebrated their version of the winter holidays a week earlier in Season 2 Episode 11 - “Hearth’s Warming Eve” - where the “mane 6″ pony characters staged a play to retell the ancient story of how the 3 pony tribes of pegasi, unicorns and earth ponies put aside their long standing feuds and united as friends so as to defeat the evil winter ghosts that brought frost and hunger to the land. At the end of the play, the ponies sang this song as a choir, giving a festive cheer to the pony winter holidays! Enjoy the song!
Here’s another fabulous song is from the G4 My Little Pony Friendship is Magic (FiM)cartoon series - “Becoming Popular” or “The Pony Everypony Should Know”, from the season 2 episode 9, known as “Sweet & Elite”, where 1 of the “mane 6″ pony characters, Rarity, gets the chance to rub shoulders with the rich and famous upperclass unicorn ponies from the royal city of Canterlot.
It has always been Rarity’s dream to be a fashion designer and this is the moment for her to network with prospective clients who would admire and who could afford her work. She begins to spend so much time socializing that she barely has time left to make a birthday dress for her dear friend, Twilight Sparkle.
As she gains popularity in the upper circle, her 5 “down to earth” pony friends (the rest of the “mane 6″ cast) pay her a surprise visit at Canterlot and sort of behaved in “uncouth” manners in front of Rarity’s new found social circle - the elite unicorns. So who does Rarity choose as her true friends?
Enjoy the song!
BECOMING POPULAR SONG LYRICS:
I’ll be the toast of the town The girl on the go! And the type of pony everypony Everypony should know!
I’ll be the one to watch The girl in the flow! And the type of pony everypony Everypony should know!
Becoming as popular As popular can be! Making my mark, making my mark In high society!
I’m the belle of the ball The star of the show! (yeah!) And the type of pony everypony Everypony should know!
See how they hang On every word that I speak? My approving glance Is what they all seek!
I’m the creme de la creme Not just another Jane Doe! I’m the type of pony Everypony should know!
At home at the Opera! On a fancy Yacht! Becoming the talk The talk of all of Canterlot!
I’m the creme de la creme Not just another Jane Doe! (Yeah!) I’m the type of pony everypony Everypony should know!
Because I’m type of pony, Yes I’m the type of pony, Yes I’m the type of pony Everypony should know…
This awesome song is from the G4 My Little Pony Friendship is Magic (FiM)cartoon series - “At The Gala”, from the season 1 episode 26, known as “The Best Night Ever”, where the “mane 6″ pony characters dress up to attend the Grand Galloping Gala, which is like a royal ball. Enjoy the song!

The Italian opening theme song for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (FiM) has a different and more lively tune, that sounds more like an anime song! I love it! If you read the English translation, you can see that the Italian song writers and video editing staff have made great efforts to match the Italian lyrics with the various FiM scenes into the song video, bravo! Enjoy the music, Italian style!
ITALIAN LYRICS W/ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
In un mondo splendido, colorato e magico (In a world splendid, colorful, and magical)
Little Ponies vivono, pace sempre in armonia (Little Ponies live, forever in peace and harmony)
I soli fanno splendere, le piante fanno crescere poi(The beautiful sun they make shine, the plants they make grow)
La gioia fanno scendere, se li conoscerai(Joy also they make spark, if you ever meet them)
Vola e vai My Little Pony (Fly and go! My Little Pony!)
Se nuovi amici vorrai incontrare (If you wanna meet new friends!)
Prendi il volo ascolta il cuore e ogni avventura potrai affrontare (Take flight and listen to your heart, in every adventure you face.)
Vola e vai My Little Pony (Fly and go! My Little Pony!)
Realizza i tuoi sogni e non ti fermare (Chase your dreams, and don’t you stop!)
Non ti fermare (Don’t you stop!)
Non ti fermare (Don’t you stop!)
Non ti fermare (Don’t you stop!)

“The Kungfu Beat” from Disney Channel Asia is Ninja Pony’s current favourite “hit” song. She can’t stop singing and humming it all day long since she learnt the song lyrics! Though I can’t embed the music video on this blog (not allowed by YouTube and Disney), you can view it directly on YouTube. The song lyrics are provided below, enjoy!
“The Kungfu Beat” song lyrics:
I can do kungfu,
Do the moves I do!
(Kick Ha! Hoo Ha! Hit Ha! Hoo Ha!)
I can play the master,
I’m the master blaster!
(Kick Ha! Hoo Ha! Hit Ha! Hoo Ha!)
Can you do it faster?
How long can you last here?
(Kick Ha! Hoo Ha!)
Chorus: [ Enter to the land of the rising sun,
Asia is the place where it all begun.
Look at all the fighters and the medals they’ve won...on,
Come and make karate fun...un!
Everybody kick to the kung fu beat!
Who will be the master?
Who will take the lead?
Everybody kick to the kung fu beat!
Who will be the master in the street? ]
[ Who will be the master?
Who will be the master in the street? ]
I can kick it high and low,
You can come and watch the show.
This is what I’ve learned to do,
You can also do kung fu!
If this is where you wanna be with me!
The following froggy couple made by Mattel are characters from Disney’s latest 2-D animation movie - “The Princess and the Frog”. The story is adapted from the famous fairy tale of the same name, but its time stream has been fast forwarded to the turn of the 20th century in New Orleans, USA.
In this American version, the “princess” gets transformed into a frog as well after kissing the “frog prince”! Then they both must embark on a journey to transform themselves back into humans again. Along the way, there are the trademark Disney style song and dance scenes. The movie release date in Singapore is on 10 December 2009.
Note:The actual trailer in the above video starts from 0.30min onwards.
Yes! Disney has finally reverted to producing movies in the traditonal 2-D animation style, which I much prefer to the 3-D ones of recent years. Of course the plot and flow of the 2-D movies also matter, to make it nice to watch, like those released in the 1990s (Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, Tarzan etc). I’ll reserve my comments about the movie after I have watched it. Meanwhile, here’s the featurette with more details and info about filming this latest Disney 2-D movie.

The premiere of “Wolverine and the X-Men” animated series is finally starting today on our local Okto Channel! It shall be shown on weekdays on 7.30pm, a good time slot for most people to get home from school or work to watch! Today’s first episode will be “Hindsight - Part 1″.
Here is my collection of “Wolverine and the X-Men” action figures that I harvested from the departmental stores and Sunday toy market in April. The photo also shows another use for the (Type 1a & 1b) figurine display boxes from Daiso. Luckily for the My Little Pony ‘toy drought’ in the same month, if not I won’t have enough ‘Play’ funds to splurge on these. Plus I was also chasing after some sought after Marvel Universe action figures last month too (That will be in another future blog post).
Many of the popular characters like Magneto, Colossus, Beast and Iceman were initially harder to find, but the stores have began to stock up on all the characters again in the past 2 weeks. It’s not difficult to find this toyline in the stores now, but the paintwork on every one of them has some defects. For every 20 pieces of the same figure you come across, only 1 can barely make some reasonable pass grade. Even the ones I have are not perfect, but I gave up looking for the never-appearing pieces with perfect paintwork, and just settled for the best I could find.
I saw the very quick trailers on Okto channel this week, confirming that new “Wolverine and the X-Men” animated series will be showing soon! According to the trailers, the show will premiere on 1 May 2009 on Okto channel! Perhaps the time slot is between 7-8pm on every weekdays. My guess is that it will replace “The Spectacular Spiderman” animated series currently showing on 7pm from Mondays to Fridays.
No wonder the action figures for “Wolverine and the X-Men” animated series have hit the local departmental stores for the past month already. It’s not just to coincide with the “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” movie, but also the upcoming Wolverine animated series. But at SGD 18.90 per each 4-inch tall action figure, I doubt many layman parents will be keen to get them for their kids. I’d expect the main market to be the local toy collectors. The Wolverine and Logan action figures, plus some Cyclops action figures are still most abundant on the pegs. Nevertheless, I’d expect the stores to re-stock this toyline for as long as the animated series runs here!
Updated on 17 April 2009: “Wolverine and the X-Men” animated series will premiere on 1 May 2009 on Okto channel (Singapore), every weekday at 7.30pm!
