My Little Pony Tales is an American animated television series produced by Graz Entertainment and Sunbow Productions, based on the My Little Pony toys by Hasbro. The series premiered in July 3, 1992 to December 25, 1992, with a total of 26 episodes. The series itself departs from the original series, featuring a Slice of Life theme, anthropomorphized characters and has no mention of Dream Valley. Despite being aired in the US, My Little Pony Tales has a big fanbase in both European and Australian markets as it's used to promote the Late Generation 1 toys released.

The series has been released in DVD in both European and Australian markets.

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. At least one song is performed by the ponies in every episode.

The series is set in Coltonville, a place in Ponyland where it is populated solely by earth ponies.

Ms. Hackney helps Starlight by telling her that maybe he would like her if they would have a common interest. Soccer happens to be Ace's favorite sport, so Starlight joins the soccer team.

Reception

This series is generally scorned by fans of the original My Little Pony cartoons.^{[citation needed]} 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 United States, even though this is where the My Little Pony brand and the show itself originated.
