My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic S1E18 - retrospective | The Show Stoppers

Today we look back at the Friendship is Magic series and talk a little about the characters and the world that made it so good. Today's Episode is season 1 episode 18, "The Show Stoppers." This episode finds the Cutie Mark Crusaders entering a talent show, but Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo all seem to miss their true skills.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is an animated children's television series based on Hasbro's My Little Pony franchise. The series follows a studious pony named Twilight Sparkle (Tara Strong), her dragon assistant Spike (Cathy Weseluck) and her friends, Applejack (Ashleigh Ball), Rarity (Tabitha St. Germain), Fluttershy (Andrea Libman), Rainbow Dash (Ball) and Pinkie Pie (Libman). They go on adventures and help others around Equestria, solving problems with their friendships.

Animated in Flash, the series aired on Discovery Family (formerly The Hub) from October 10, 2010, to October 12, 2019. Hasbro selected animator Lauren Faust to head the show. Faust created deeper characters and adventurous settings, seeking a show resembling how she had played with her toys as a child, and incorporated fantasy elements.

Friendship Is Magic became one of the highest-rated productions in The Hub's history. Despite its target demographic of young girls, the series attracted an unexpectedly large following of older viewers, mainly adult men, who call themselves "bronies".
