I love watching My LIttle Pony: Friendship Magic fandom. It's an animated series that is part of the My little Pony toy franchise.
My sister really liked those.  It's so neat that all that stuff is coming back now.
It is neat. This is the fourth generation (G4) of the franchise.
Wow, I was thinking maybe the 2nd.  Then you've got Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, etc..
I think it's funny that fans are called bronies (previous fans were mostly males so they combined bro and pony)
That is weird that males liked them - I wonder why.
For some reason they were drawn to the character's, stories, animation style. They formed their own little subculture. It is pretty weird for sure.
That is just so odd to me - I can't see my husband or any grown man that I know being interested in that.  Well to each their own I guess.
I think Lauren Faust has done a good job as creative developer and executive producer. She also had experience on the Powerpuff Girls. My kids used to like that show too.
