The music is characterful and there is never any trouble with fitting with the action. Very colourful and beautifully detailed, Las Pegasus really struck me as a place where the hype and excitement is more than earned considering how vibrantly it's depicted. The story occasionally could have done with more energy and while the ending was sweet it was a little too neat. But she didn't usually strike me as being as selfish and reluctant to do something in the way she is here and there are not many other episodes where she puts her want to achieve a goal over the safety of others. Rainbow Dash has been worse written than in "Grannies Gone Wild", it was moving when she opened up and actually she is not near as prejudiced here as feared (being somebody who has been in similar positions more than once in my life, same with my siblings).
