My Little Pony is officially 20% cooler!

You know how Youtube (or some similar site) will have that viral video that catches on and everyone talks about it? It becomes a meme that's parodied everywhere.

The new My Little Pony cartoon series did that. It's actually done by a lot of former CN people, and it's headed by Lauren Faust, the wife of Craig McCracken (the two of them creating Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends).

I was rather perplexed, but my sister and I (she being a HUGE MLP fan back in the day) we were both kinda intrigued and gave it a watch and we find the series hard to put down. A girly series about ponies that's FUN to watch for all ages and genders? Who would've thought?

I'd check the page on Know Your Meme for more info about it

It's sparked a craze on the internet, exploding with a fanbase. Mostly young men, calling themselves "Bronies". We're not talking about a little fanart and fanfics there. We're talking fan-made characters (born from Animation errors) that have been made into the show (Derpy Hooves), some AWESOME Eurobeat music by a fan calling himself "Eurobeat Brony", Fan Made Shoes, DJ-P0N3

And well, I just figured I'd pass this on. I know there a lot of ladies and Moms on here, not sure if MLP would be considered a hated thing or not. If it is, I implore you to give it a chance if you can, you MIGHT be surprised ^_~.

Thanks for sharing those links, Cain and Boeke! I remember not being such a fan of the MLP series when I was a kid, even if I really liked their merchandise! My five-year-old daughter has just the same impression! She doesn't like to see their cartoons much, but she's always asking me to buy her MLP toys! I think it's the long, differently coloured, soft hair, and the thought of brushing it over and over again, that mostly appeals to her ... well, it did appeal to me when I was of her same age!

MLP was something I was never into... then again, I'm not really an animal person, so all of the animal toys were NMS. Now Barbies were another story.... see, even as a little kid, I was putting the blonde girl with 'Ken'.

I only dimly recall the original MLP cartoon and toys -I think I was too old for it when in came out in the 80s, and I already had a bunch of Breyer model horses so I think I would have been put off by the cutesy look of those ponies.

But you got me curious to take a look on youtube at the new version -which I had not been aware existed until now- and the old version.

I see what you mean! The new version definitely has a superior look and -from what I can tell- storyline.

Old


New



One thing though, in the new version it seems that every pony in "Equestria" is female?

Oh, her gallery was fun to look at!
