It's not a matter of age. It's a matter of MLP daring to air an episode borrowing A Christmas Carol's trite plot (at the start of summer) with none of the charm or depth that made the original so poignant. The songs within, too, are loaded with the same hackneyed drivel that we make fun of every December.

Heck, the new episode itself offers a solid metaphor.



This bland, soulless, unoriginal speck of a dish among an array of a million other such specks? A Hearth's Warming Tail: a terribly diluted corruption of an old story that has already been borrowed by everything from Mickey Mouse to the Muppets.

So yes, I mean it when I say Spice Up Your Life is the first episode of the season to make a song work.
