A/N: I was really struggling with this prompt for some reason, but then I the episode "Rarity Investigates" from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. In the scene where Rarity is interviewing the cake shop owner, I saw something on the far left of the screen that made me say, "whaaaaaa?! No, it can't be!" Then towards the end, when in the flashback where the bad guy gets chocolate on their scarf, I saw it again. Suffice to say, we have proof that at least one animator for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a fan of Sherlock. :D
