[edit] Summary

The Spring Promenade is nearly here, and the Ponies are preparing for it with the help of the Breezies. But a troublesome weed lands Wysteria and Pinkie Pie in a mysterious cave where Spike the dragon has been sleeping for a thousand years. He makes Wysteria a princess, but Wysteria learns that it's more important to be true to yourself.

[edit] Continuity errors

Star Catcher - Star Catcher appears in some scenes, but is animated without wings, like a regular earth Pony. However, in the scene just before Spike is introduced, she is seen in the air, hovering on thin, gossamer wings.

[It had previously been listed that Thistle Whistle, a blue pegasus who appeared in one shot, and Coconut Grove, a pink pegasus appearing in two shots, could not have been there canonically because Star Catcher is the only one to have been to Ponyville at the time. However, that entry ignored the fact that Dancing in the Clouds (2004 - VHS with Star Catcher figure), Friends Are Never Far Away (2005 - DVD with Hidden Treasure figure), and A Very Minty Christmas (2005) had been released before The Princess Promenade (2006). This means that by the time of this film Ponyville has been visited by the pegasus ponies from Butterfly Island at least twice (three times including Star Catcher's solo visit in Dancing in the Clouds.)]Coconut Grove could have possibly apperared almost at the end (Middle-Part) Where she was in the talking place with wings.

Spoilers end here.
