Are you familiar with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic?
yes, it is an  animated television series produced by Hasbro as part of the "My Little Pony" toy franchise
I was obsessed when I was little! I still have my collection of the toys.
The producer of the show also produced The Powerpuff Girls" and "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends". She definitely knows what kids love :)
You're kidding! She is a genius! : ) My Little Pony has been around for many years.
  Lauren Faust wanted to knock off old ways and she  developed the show to appeal to the target demographic of young girls and their parents,
Well, good job by her. I wonder if the show is also shown in other countries. I know it has been a huge commercial success here in the US. 
Of course, especially with the internet. in 2010 &  2011, the show grew an amazing huge group of followers online
