--Overall Comments--

And here we are again! After 7 years, MLP enters its 7th season on air, and what a way to start off!  The show is doing things a little differently to start off: having two distinct, yet connected episodes to begin the season, rather than a two-parter.  So, here’s we’ll be talking about just “Celestial Advice.”

Twilight Sparkle realizes that Starlight Glimmer has reached a point in her friendship lessons, that it may be time to let her graduate onto her own, like Celestia once did for Twilight.  She parters with her mentor to seek her opinion on the matter.

While “All Bottled Up” holds a song, “Celestial Advice” is jam backed on the other side of the music aisle: the score.  As we follow Twilight’s emotional rollercoaster through the decisions she must make, the music follows suit, and provides us with some absolutely beautiful cues.  From gorgeous reorchestrated reprised of a few motifs from the past few seasons, to a wonderful new flashback score in “Celestia’s Story,” William Anderson and Kelly Davidson continue to provide some of the best compositions on television, and bar-none the continued best use of leitmotifs.

We have a lot to cover, so lets’ dive in!


--Track Specific Comments--

In her final fantasy, Twilight sends Starlight back to the Crystal Empire to continue her magical studies with Sunburst.  But with their combined magical prowess, Twilight fears the worst.

As we enter the Crystal Library, we see Sunburst and are greeted with his bouncy, and somewhat geeky leitmotif.  We first heard this theme for him back in the Season 6 premiere.

Twilight’s fantasy takes a dark turn, and the score becomes more dark and magical, and then highly dramatic and action-packed for the scene’s climax.
