I've never heard Minty be described as having Autism, but hearing it now explains why I've gravitated towards her so much, even as a kid. Excellent compilation.
this was back when they were actually made for little girls. They were really soft and pretty looking, appealing for their demographic. You see the toys that are being produced today and they don’t even have brushable hair. Their cute and all, but they seem like figurines, not toys- and not made for young children as the intended demographic. I remember my sister and i learned how to braid hair with our ponies- its a little thing like that, but it really made the toys more interactive and lovable. My niece who’s only 7 likes the old toys and shows too. i think they’re just more appealing.
g1 too. i love fantasy magical horses a lot and i think g1-g3 r perfect for that. i love g4 but i dont they r pony like. g5 3d designs look a little pony but the humans r still human unfortunately
“What’s wrong with the real Santa?😯” “… broken.🥺” “… you broke Santa? 🤨” Funniest thing in the world to little autistic me thanks for the compilation it brings me back 💚💗
Lmfao it took me 15 years to realize why I related to this character so much (I'm not autistic but adhd made me act quite similar to minty growing up esp when i wasnt masking) I always wondered why there weren't more girl show characters like her. Clumsy, funny, forgetful and impulsive but not stupid and still valued by her peers!
Minty is one of my favorite G3 characters! in fact her clumsiness and adorable slight naivity always made me think of her as as the Derpy of mlp G3! I mean that in a good way in case anyone is wondering.
I didn’t know Minty represented the autistic community. That is so cool! My daughter recently got into my little pony, she was hung up on sonic for years lol
Her talking about loving her socks so much made my Socks wonder who loves him so much. My dog nicknamed Socks came to watch the phone :) he felt called
Minty's special will always be my favorite one. I had no idea people saw her as a representative of the autistic community, but now I love her even more. Her being socially awkward is such a huge mood tho
somehow, it took me until a month ago, at 21, to find out I was autistic. Going back and watching a very minty christmas with this knowledge made me realize why I loved and related to minty so much… She really feels like an accurate representation of how I think. Sometimes my brain just feels like a jumbled up confusing mess, and I can’t really explain it, but she nails it all so well,,,
she's so giggly and adorable, she's always been my favourite character!! i lover her special interests with Christmas and socks she's so cute i love her so much :D
Minty and Derpy would get along so well, they have such similar personalities and they share a voice actor! I like how Tabitha St. Germain made Derpy’s voice similar to Minty’s Kimono is such a cool character, too. It’s a shame she only really appeared in the first special and never again. She has so much story potential, like why doesn’t she live in town and why does she possess so much knowledge? Is she some kind of pony God? G3 really would have benefitted from some TV show, it’s such a shame it only got specials. They were good specials, but I want to see more of the characters! Especially Minty and Pinkie Pie, they’re sooo cute together.
Minty talking about socks is like me talking about ponies. I can go on and on for hours about it, I’m glad to have fellow pony loving fans to discuss it with. I also talk like that about birds too. Birds are awesome.
That's so sweet! And same with me, except with dinosaurs and Godzilla... Goodness I could talk about THOSE for hours which some people endure 😅 I feel bad but one of my friends says she loves hearing me ramble and happy
Minty talking about socks is literally me talking about my own sock collection, my obsession with animals since I was a baby, my stuffed animal collection, my husband, my favourite colours, favourite ponies, and my favourite video games. I swear as a kid you'd say literally anything and I'd ONLY respond with random animal facts. I'm glad I started getting shy in high school, leaving me to observe how other people conversate and learn that way instead of embarrassing myself.
Well, some people are currently coming up with disorder diagnoses for G4 ponies, if that makes u feel even better :) For example, some people believe that Twilight Sparkle from G4 has OCPD/OCD.
Man, ever since I was little, Minty has always been my favorite pony. As someone with Autism and ADHD it makes me even happier to hear that she represents this. ❤
@@Dansespire No, this is from the 1980's and almost NO ONE even acknowledged that women could even HAVE autism, in the 1980's. You're being cruel to older people who actually watched this show. It's not nice to rewrite our lives.
Minty was my favorite as a kid. I had a stuffed version of her Christmas special version, she sang. It was awesome. I love her so much. I will be in my God damn 90's and still love her
I loved minty as a kid! Im not autistic, but i feel like i related to her with my ADHD. Her being awkward and forgetful really spoke to me, i think. I had the christmas special on dvd and watched it all the time, i also had a singing doll. It was very strange to my parents, because i hated the color pink, and i couldnt stand mint flavor.
I'm so happy you made this, I love g4 but minty is goated. She's been my favorite since I was a kid. I too am autistic. This makes me very very happy. Thank you for editing and uploading it. Only thing better than this horse is socks for christmas. Edit to say also!! She's played by Tabitha St. Germain, in case anyone didn't know :)))
Dude I'm 21 And you reminded me that I still own a sleeping bag from when I was 3 with Minty and Sunny on it The nostalgia hits really hard now lmao Edit: AND THE MINTY MOVIE DUDE I'M DYING
In the first clip, Minty smiles when she catches the green teapot. Her favorite color is green. Despite the whoopsie-daisie, she seems content and relieved. 😅
NO!!! Why'd you cut it off before Pinkie could say "You broke Santa?"!? That's, like, the best line in that entire movie! Nonetheless, great compilation! I was laughing the entire time, as usual when Minty is involved.
I'm autistic and I'm not sure how to feel xD on one hand, yes, we miss social cues and jokes often need to be explained etc, but we're not dumb or "bimbo-esque" or anything close. So I'm conflicted, but having representation in my most treasured love since 1984 is pretty darn cool. ^^
I don't think Minty is dumb tbh. She just misses the jokse and over-explains things because she doesn't pick up on figures of speech that well, and she communicates with other people so that she can be understood. Other things like her particularism with the candy cane and it breaking can be explained as lack of coordination and needing things to be completely "right", not uncommon with autism. Exc. Perhaps autistic people can be seen as dumb by people because they do not understand social cues and have a tendency to communicate in ways allistic people do not understand. You have to keep in mind that someone like Minty is probably trying to overcompensate for their difficulties navigating social interactions, which can lead to them seeming unfocused because they have to keep more things in mind at any given time than the average person.
@@USBmi She comes across as dumb at times. Take the very first clip of this video for example, it has nothing to do with autism and its inclusion made me a bit uncomfortable.
Yeah...hate to be the one to explain this....but this isn't "representation" in a 1984 kids show.....this is a TH-camr insulting both austic people and a bimbo-esque pony at the same time....
I remember screaming and crying on the ground at a PayLess ShoeSource until my mom bought me this movie because for some reason they had a single copy of it standing up at the register. Yes the shoe store Payless
Well, my heart just melted. Minty is super precious. I don't know too much about this show in particular (Heck, this is all I know about it), but there's something about everyone (well, everypony in this case) almost constantly "smiling" that feels uncanny.
I relate to minty so hard. For manyyy reasons , but a big one is I literally do the same exactly laugh mannerism she does! Like exactly! Just in my pitch and sound of voice (deeper and def less nasally obviously, she’s a cartoon pony lol) but sometimes I don’t realize it’s as obvious or loud as I thought in my head, so I tend to get really embarrassed about it. It also just isn’t as I guess “conventional” as an average chuckle or giggle or smth idk LMAO… but seeing it represented in a character people love and who is treated normal just being who she is in the show makes me feel better about my lil laugh mannerism. Maybe it’s not the embarrassing cringefest I thought it was, maybe it can even be unique and maybe even cute to some people.
Huh. Never associated her personality with autism, but I admittedly don't know it firsthand to recognize it. When G4 started giving Derpy a lot more lines, the behavior felt a little similar, except the voice sounds more like Wysteria, hahah.(It's all the same voice actor though, all 3) I've been collecting up her G4 merch ever since first spotting her Build-A-Bear pony several years back and being like OMG VERY MINTY CHRISTMAS. She and G3 Rainbow Dash were my favorites as a kid. My mom was a bit of an MLP collector so I grew up on G1 and G3 shorts and toys from all 3 generations until G4 came along, which was an adjustment period but I warmed up to it with time, heh. Minty is best AllGenerationPony(except 2 but no one was in 2 really)
She is the best, I grew up watching this gen of mlp a lot and she was my favorite. I watched the Christmas movie that had her as the main character every Christmas, and still have the DVD.
Minty was, and still is, my comfort character. I just love her and everything about her, and I can even see myself doing those kinda things that she does in the show sometimes. I relate to her, but I don't think I have autism. Anyways, great character, great video, great everything.
It never occurred to me that minty could be interpreted as autistic coded and it just makes so much sense..!!! I always knew she was a favorite of mine for a reason!!
Aww Minty was always one of my favorite G3 ponies growing up (also gotta love Tabitha St. German’s iconic voice). I’m glad to see her getting more recognition
I never watched Gen 3 My Little Pony as a kid (or teenager when I was at the height of my MLP:FiM obsession), but from this video, it actually looks a lot better than I was expecting. Minty is such a cute character too, with her endearing clumsiness, and contagious laugh! I can definitely see why she seems to be the fan-favourite pony among Gen 3 fans! I might have to watch some Gen 3 MLP some time after I finish my re-watch of Gen 4. And as an Autistic girl, I approve of this video!

I remember screaming and crying on the ground at a PayLess ShoeSource until my mom bought me this movie because for some reason they had a single copy of it standing up at the register. Yes the shoe store Payless
Well, my heart just melted. Minty is super precious. I don't know too much about this show in particular (Heck, this is all I know about it), but there's something about everyone (well, everypony in this case) almost constantly "smiling" that feels uncanny.
I think I subconsciously named my internet name after her. I’m also autistic. Like Minty, I’m clumsy, I often stutter when talking and I’m forgetful.
All I want to do in this life is love and protect all the Minty's of the world.
I relate to minty so hard. For manyyy reasons , but a big one is I literally do the same exactly laugh mannerism she does! Like exactly! Just in my pitch and sound of voice (deeper and def less nasally obviously, she’s a cartoon pony lol) but sometimes I don’t realize it’s as obvious or loud as I thought in my head, so I tend to get really embarrassed about it. It also just isn’t as I guess “conventional” as an average chuckle or giggle or smth idk LMAO… but seeing it represented in a character people love and who is treated normal just being who she is in the show makes me feel better about my lil laugh mannerism. Maybe it’s not the embarrassing cringefest I thought it was, maybe it can even be unique and maybe even cute to some people.
"NO, move a muscle, just not from here"
😭😭yupp. My son takes everything literal too
Huh. Never associated her personality with autism, but I admittedly don't know it firsthand to recognize it. When G4 started giving Derpy a lot more lines, the behavior felt a little similar, except the voice sounds more like Wysteria, hahah.(It's all the same voice actor though, all 3)
I've been collecting up her G4 merch ever since first spotting her Build-A-Bear pony several years back and being like OMG VERY MINTY CHRISTMAS. She and G3 Rainbow Dash were my favorites as a kid. My mom was a bit of an MLP collector so I grew up on G1 and G3 shorts and toys from all 3 generations until G4 came along, which was an adjustment period but I warmed up to it with time, heh. Minty is best AllGenerationPony(except 2 but no one was in 2 really)
She's definitely a G4 character that made her way into G3.
She is the best, I grew up watching this gen of mlp a lot and she was my favorite. I watched the Christmas movie that had her as the main character every Christmas, and still have the DVD.
Minty was, and still is, my comfort character. I just love her and everything about her, and I can even see myself doing those kinda things that she does in the show sometimes. I relate to her, but I don't think I have autism. Anyways, great character, great video, great everything.
minty is for anyone! autistic or not
she's just a lil bundle of joy
@@mysgaIaxy Yes, absolutely
I never really knew Minty, but now I love her❤️
SCREAMED AT THE FULL MOUTH KISS
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT
I really appreciate the love you give for g3, especially Minty, cause so many hate on it just because its for a younger demographic. 💚💚
It never occurred to me that minty could be interpreted as autistic coded and it just makes so much sense..!!! I always knew she was a favorite of mine for a reason!!
0:05 : ma'dam, Hasbro want talk to you about your word.
Aww Minty was always one of my favorite G3 ponies growing up (also gotta love Tabitha St. German’s iconic voice). I’m glad to see her getting more recognition
I LOVED MINTY SO MUCH AS A KID AND NOW I REALIZE ITS CUS WE ARE BOTH ON THE SPECTRUM 💕💕💕
How could I forget her silliness...
THE FVCKING DOOM THEME AT THE END JUMPSCARED ME WAAH /lh
SAME
I never watched Gen 3 My Little Pony as a kid (or teenager when I was at the height of my MLP:FiM obsession), but from this video, it actually looks a lot better than I was expecting. Minty is such a cute character too, with her endearing clumsiness, and contagious laugh! I can definitely see why she seems to be the fan-favourite pony among Gen 3 fans! I might have to watch some Gen 3 MLP some time after I finish my re-watch of Gen 4.
And as an Autistic girl, I approve of this video!
I have never felt more exposed in my entire life.
