Generation 1 Ponies

Along with the ponies they had little furballs called Bush Woolies...I loved these guys, they were adorable!


Applejack then and now^^


Megan and Powder with the Rainbow of Light. In the first series the ponies lived in Dream Valley and their home was called Paradise Estate. The Rainbow of Light was a little like the new generations Elements of Harmony, in that it can defeat evil based on goodness.


Megan and Firefly from the TV Special "Firefly's Adventure" Megan was one of the only humans to ever be present with the ponies.


Spike the baby dragon from the G1 series. I like the new version of him but this one will always hold a special place in my heart^^


The My Little Pony movie was the first thing I ever saw about MLP and I adore it. The animation and storyline, now that I'm grown, are a little weak but it still holds all the charm it had for me when I was little.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

This is what most people today will think of when asked about My Little Pony.

This animated series airing on The Hub, a channel for kids but a lot of the shows appeal to adults too, was developed for television by Lauren Faust, who is known for her work on two of Cartoon Network's shows, The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

The show follows Twilight Sparkle, the purple unicorn in the image above, discovering the secrets of Friendship with her baby dragon assistant Spike and her five new friends under Princess Celestia's orders. Anyone who hasn't seen it, you can find full episodes on Youtube; there are 26 in the first season and a second season has been confirmed but not announced yet on when it's to begin.

Below are more images from the show:

If you haven't seen the show I highly recommend it. It doesn't talk down so it's not all that kiddie-kiddie and it's hilarious. The writers have done a wonderful job with personalities and characteristics for each pony, so they're all different instead of the somewhat cookie-cutter ideal that the first generation had.
