My Little Pony ( TV Series 1986 - 1987 )





 

 

Plot

Ponyland is a mystical land, home to all kinds of magical creatures. The Little Ponies make their home in Paradise Estate, living a peaceful life filled with song and games. However, not all the creatures of Ponyland are so peaceful, and the Ponies often find themselves having to fight for survival against witches, trolls, goblins and all the other beasts that would love to see the Little Ponies destroyed, enslaved or otherwise harmed.





 

Characters

Earth Ponies - brightly coloured, talking versions of real horses


Pegasus Ponies - feathered wings and capable of sustained flight.


Unicorns - with horns that grant each of them a unique magic power. They were also able to teleport in a process known as 'winking in and out', though they could not displace solid objects, and thus were limited to winking through open air environments.

 

Also living in Dream Valley are:


Flutter Ponies - shy but powerful creatures with magic in their gossamer wings. They live in a remote area of Dream Valley known as Flutter Valley.


Sea Ponies - Brightly colored seahorse-like creatures who dwell in the rivers and lakes of Dream Valley. They vanish from the scene after the introduction of the Baby Sea Ponies.


Baby Sea Ponie - brightly colored seahorse-like creatures who dwell in Dream Valleys's rivers and wear floats that look like aquatic animals
Spik - A lone baby dragon who lives with the Ponies after being separated from his own kind


The Bushwoolies, a joyful species of furballs that think alike. They seem to be led by a blue Bushwoolie named Hugster.


The Furbobs - Cousins of the Bushwoolies. They walk on four legs primarily as apposed to Bushwoolies who seem to walk on the equivalent of two legs.


Stone Back s- a ferocious looking species that is sort of a dragon/armadillo cross. Sworn Enemies of the Furbobs until Megan helps the Furbobs realize that the two species can overcome their differences with love and understanding.


The Grundles - a small race of creatures ruled by the Grundle King. They used to live in Grundleland before it was smoozed and now live in Dream Castle.


Three human children often flew across the Rainbow to join the Little Ponies - siblings Megan, Danny and Molly. The group often sought advice on magical matters from the Moochick, a wise but eccentric gnome who lived in the nearby Mushromp, and his rabbit assistant, Habbit.
