Synopsis:

In the sweet countryside of Dream Valley lived a group of little ponies in pastel colors with long, flowing manes. Hasbro’s My Little Pony toy line was as big a hit with young girls as its G.I. Joe was with little boys. And like those Real American Heroes, the Ponies made their television debut in the mid-80’s.

My Little Pony had already had a pair of TV specials in 1984 and ’85, and in 1986, My Little Pony: The Movie was released in theaters, with all-star cast including Cloris Leachman, Tony Randall, Madeline Kahn, Rhea Perlman, and Danny DeVito. In the fall of that same year, the ponies got their first regular series, airing as the featured segment on the syndicated My Little Pony ‘n Friends. The show included four segments: My Little Pony, The Glo Friends, Potato Head Kids, and Moondreamers.

My Little Pony featured an extensive lineup of Ponies: athletic Gusty, wise Wind Whistler, fuzzy-brained Fizzy, shy Shady, short-tempered Lickety-Split, and many others. There were literally dozens of ponies, all of different colors and divided into three different classes: earth-bound ponies (the least unusual), ponies with horns (similar to unicorns) and winged ponies (like the Pegasus). Each had a small picture on its back that reflected its name or personality. Together with the absent-minded magician Moochick, little fur ball buddies the Bushwoolies, human friends Megan, Molly and Danny, and little pink dragon Spike, the Ponies kept Ponyland safe from witches, trolls, and the like. The menace was never too menacing, and sometimes even the bad guys learned a lesson.

Both My Little Pony and the three cartoons it shared time with showcased original songs within episodes. A new series, My Little Pony Tales, appeared on the Disney Channel in 1993, minus the three supporting “Friends.”
