My Little Pony Tales is an American animated television series produced by Sunbow Productions and distributed by Graz Entertainment, with animation being produced by AKOM. The series, based on the My Little Pony toys by Hasbro,[2] weekly aired for 26 episodes from August 2 to December 25, 1992 on The Disney Channel.[3][4] The series was syndicated from 1993 to 1995.[5][6] As of 2022, My Little Pony Tales has been released on DVD in Australia, Europe, and the United States.

Plot

[edit]

The series followed seven young female ponies who live in Ponyland, a society of anthropomorphic ponies. They are: Starlight, Sweetheart, Melody, Bright Eyes, Patch, Clover, and Bon Bon. They live like humans as they attend school, frequent the local ice cream shop, enter talent contests, and even roller skate. Some of the girl ponies begin to show a romantic interest in the male ponies, Teddy, Ace, and Lancer; they even go on dates with them. In contrast to the previous series which focused on ponies and humans, the new series centered only on ponies. Each episode featured at least one song performed by the ponies.

Merchandise

[edit]

In 1992, Hasbro released toys of the 7 Pony Friends to the European market to complement its first generation My Little Pony toy line. They did not produce models for the three male ponies or the teacher from the series, Miss Hackney. Although My Little Pony originated in the United States, the toys were not marketed there. The family ponies, the Barringtons (known as the Berrytowns in toy form), the Sunbrights, and the Meadowsweets were also made into toys, but were only marketed in select European countries. Several pieces of merchandise were marketed in Europe with the Seven Characters on them, such as comic books, an alarm clock, a backpack, an umbrella and a money box.

Media

[edit]

Australia

[edit]

In 2005, MRA Entertainment released the complete series in the country on four DVD sets. [11]

United Kingdom

[edit]

In the United Kingdom, a single DVD containing ten episodes from the series was released by Metrodome Distribution in August 2004.[12] Metrodome's "Girls World" and "Girls World 2" DVDs (released in February 2004 and May 2005, respectively) contain two episodes each from the series, "Girls World" has "Bon Bon's Diary / Just For Kicks" and "Girls World 2" has "Princess Problems / An Apple for Starlight". However, the latter episode was not released as part of the standalone DVD.

United States

[edit]

Shout Factory licensed the series for the United States (Region 1) area. It was released as My Little Pony Tales – The Complete TV Series on DVD on April 28, 2015. The two-disc set contains all 26 episodes of the series.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ In the UK 1994 My Little Pony annual, Bon Bon is also said to have a sixth unnamed older sibling.
  2. ^ Although the term "alicorn" for a horse with a pair of wings and a horn has become commonplace among My Little Pony viewers during the 2010s, the use of the term in the context of this series is incorrect, as it was never used in any My Little Pony products or promotional materials of the era.
