Different families have different traditions and different ways of celebrating holidays, that's almost as old as time itself. It's an understandable error, really, and one that I'm guessing most of us can relate to. Applejack was thrown for a loop by how the Pie's traditions didn't meet her expectations (no surprise there, that's definitely a very AJ-reaction to have), but Pinkie Pie also made a mistake in assuming that AJ and her family would be completely comfortable with her family's traditions. But it was really interesting seeing how the both of them were trying to make their holiday celebration with each other's families work. So they definitely are far more similar than one might think. Applejack's the only character of the show who we've ever seen extensively with her entire family (Twilight and hers don't count seeing as her parents have yet to even speak in the show), and Pinkie Pie's referenced hers multiple times before this episode.
I really actually love seeing these two get to interact one-on-one with each other, at least since "Pinkie Apple Pie." Maybe it's cause they're earth ponies, maybe it's cause they both have far more simple, homey tastes and a deep love for things like family gatherings and such, there's just something very warm about Applejack and Pinkie Pie when they're around each other compared to some of the other characters. They were great, both of them, really, they were. Well I suppose we ought to start with Pinkie and Applejack first, seeing as they are the stars of this episode. On top of all of that, we had a very lovely message, if I do say so myself, one that really works fantastically for this show especially. We had a successor episode to both "Hearth's Warming Eve" and "Pinkie Apple Pie," we had the Apples spending the holidays with the Pies, we got to see the Pie family in the present for the very first time (not including Maud), and we got to see where they live and how they spend the holidays, as in, the very environment that Pinkie herself came from. So what can't I say about this episode? Because seriously, there's a lot to say. Good afternoon, everypony, sorry I'm late! I'll try to keep this review short seeing as I have some errands and work I have to take care of, but boy oh boy do we have a lot to cover! Let's not waste anymore time and dive right in, this is "Hearthbreakers"!
