My Little Pony was an American Animated television series based on the My Little Pony toys released by Hasbro.
A 26-episode series inspired by the wildly popular toys of the same name. The series is quite different from the My Little Pony TV series, featuring anthropomorphisized characters and no mention of Dream Valley. My Little Pony is a line of colorful Toy ponies marketed primarily to young girls and produced by the toy manufacturer Hasbro.
Synopsis
The series follows the lives of seven young female ponies - Starlight, Sweetheart, Melody, Bright Eyes, Patch, Clover and Bon Bon. Unlike the previous depictions of The Little Ponies, the girls lived essentially as like human beings. Attending school, frequenting an ice cream shop, going on dates, entering talent contests and even roller-skating. Love interests were provided in the male ponies Teddy, Ace and Lancer. This series is generally scorned by fans of the original My Little Pony cartoons. Strangely, although the series revolved around the popular Hasbro toy range, the company never produced models of the three male characters or the teacher from the series, Miss Hackney. Also, much to a lot of American children's disappointment, none of the toys based on the series were ever available in the US, even though this is where the My Little Pony brand (and the show itself) originated.
