  • During The Vote at 6 minutes 23 seconds, when Pip is about to be raised up on the teeter totter, the orange and blue pony who lifts him up has Diamond Tiara's cutie mark on his flank when facing left, but his mark changes back to his normal mark when he turns around. RiceWaffleFox (talk) 00:25, January 27, 2017 (UTC)

  • Between 3:55-3:56, there is a split second where Fluttershy has 2 visible front manes. At the same time, Twilight's magic aura appears around Fluttershy's mane. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bird-Nerd8 (talkcontribs)
    • This is not necessarily an error; Twilight may be moving Fluttershy out of the way of the flying pumpkin. ImperfectXIII Wiki signature FANMADE ImperfectXIII OC pixel animation 15:13, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
      • I believe it's definitely an error, Twilight was looking the other way (entirely focused on her luggage) and Fluttershy did notice the pumpkin giving her a lot of time to fly out of the way herself. also wouldn't Fluttershy have shown visible pain out of having her hair pulled? I also think its odd for Twilight to have just pulled her hair rather than simply moving her entire body gif —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bird-Nerd8 (talkcontribs)

  • At roughly 3:33, Pinkie Pie has Alicorn wings. ImperfectXIII Wiki signature FANMADE ImperfectXIII OC pixel animation 18:45, November 30, 2015 (UTC)
  • The scene of Rainbow Dash and the bullies racing by the once-Earth, now-Pegasus filly is used and corrected again - however, it is corrected differently than in part 1, inadvertently creating another animation error.
