My Little Pony
First Aired in 1986
Based on one of the most beloved toylines of the 1980's, My Little Pony started out as a couple of animated specials and a feature film before finally becoming a cartoon series. Its various incarnations told the adventures of the little ponies and all of their friends as they lived in the beautiful Dream Valley. There were literally dozens of ponies of all different colors. They were divided into earth-bound ponies, unicorns, and pegasus ponies. All were fundamentally magical beings and each had a small picture on her back that reflected her name or personality.
The ponies' most cherished friend is Megan, a young girl of about 13 who was brought to Ponyland to help them in their darkest hour. She continued to visit her friends and often served as leader when trouble struck. Eventually, her younger brother Danny (probably 11) and sister Molly (around 9) met the ponies, and the three of them came to stay in Ponyland for extended visits.
There were many different beings who lived in Ponyland besides the ponies. Those who were seen most frequently were Spike (a baby dragon), the Moochick (an absent-minded magician), the Bushwoolies (multicolored fur balls who all seemed to act as one) and the Grundles (friendly troll creatures who tunneled underground). They were always willing to lend a hand when a lesson needed to be learned or villains threatened Dream Valley.
The show featured original songs and lessons about teamwork, love, kindness, and bravery. The stories began as half hour episodes, but eventually they were broken down into multi-part 15 minute episodes. These were shown alongside other cartoons in a half hour block titled "My Little Pony and Friends."
