"A Family Journal Entry" BGM from the episode "Pinkie Apple Pie" of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" (S04E09).


--Overall Comments--

This is probably the funniest episode of the season so far, but with a great heart.  It's great seeing some interaction between Applejack and Pinkie, who don't always directly interact without the rest of the Mane 6.  It's also great to see more of the Apple Family and how they act together and with Pinkie, and is especially interesting to see their faults.  Most interesting is how Pinkie, in the end, is the one who teaches them a lesson about family.  Of course the BGM is filled with the country-type themes that are always following Applejack around.  But the biggest part of the episode has to be the song, "Apple to the Core."  This was highly anticipated after it's premier at Comic-Con earlier this year, and boy did it deliver!  The animation was fantastic, especially after how amazing the storyboards were.  But it was best to finally hear the song in high-quality non-camrip version!  

--Track Specific Comments--

The Apples...try...to write a journal entry about what they've learned about family today.  Pinkie hilariously tries to join in the bickering that follows.  That's probably the best thing that came out of this episode: great multi-character development for the Apple family showing that they are not some 100% picture perfect family, but have their disagreements and arguments like any other family.  They just naturally work through them.

This episode's ending track begins with the "Apples Departing" theme, which has made three appearances this episode through different instruments.  This time the theme is the same version which ended that last Apple family episode "Apple Family Reunion" from season 3.  We then get the Applejack rodeo theme, used in quite the different context from what it is normally is used.

The track, and episode end with a small musical reprise of "Apples to the Core."  It interesting to see William Anderson incorporating his own small take on one of Daniel Ingram's songs from the episode, and it bookends the episode in an aurally satisfying way, especially with the apple core iris out.
