My Little Pony Tales	comment	Released for TV in the early nineties, My Little Pony Tales is the second TV series based on the toyline, My Little Pony, by Hasbro. Unlike the previous incarnation My Little Pony 'n' Friends, which was a fantasy/adventure series, it was decided to give the ponies a Slice of Life angle, and removed most of the fantasy elements. As a result, the only breed of pony in this series are Earth Ponies. The show was set in an unnamed suburb, somewhere in Ponyland.The show centered on seven pony girls named Starlight, Sweetheart, Melody, Bright Eyes, Patch, Clover, and Bon Bon. However, the show is notable for averting the Improbably Female Cast that My Little Pony normally prescribes to by introducing three male main ponies: Ace, Teddy, and Lancer. The show focused on their daily lives and how they dealt with things like stage fright, dating, personal responsibility, the environment, pets, cultural differences, school, trust, bullies, and other things normal kids deal with. This was the first of three attempts to make a Slice of Life style My Little Pony show. The producers did this to try to reach their core demographic, girls, who watched the original series but would be old enough by then to worry about any of the above issues the show tackled.Much like its predecessor, My Little Pony 'n Friends, the series was comprised of quarter hour shorts, but unlike before, shared its running time with no other properties. The series ran for twenty-six episodes told over the course of thirteen airings in 1992.

My Little Pony Tales / int_1462f0d7	type	Season Finale
My Little Pony Tales / int_1462f0d7	comment	A very subtle one. In "Out of Luck", Clover's father chastises her for throwing the 'cursed' teapot in a lake and littering. In "The Great Lemonade Stand Wars", the camera focuses on Lancer throwing away a paper cup and missing the garbage can after Ace and Teddy both hit it. This doesn't come up in the episode and seems just to show Lancer isn't like his friends. In "Blue Ribbon Blues", Teddy ends up accidentally losing an entire picnic basket and its contents into the water which gets washed away and no one ever retrieves them. This seems just to be the inciting incident for the episode, but the Season Finale focuses on the fact the townsponies being careless with their trash and throwing it away recklessly clogs up the river and floods the town, with several ponies doing that exact thing during the episode. They'd been doing it multiple times throughout the season without anyone realizing it.

My Little Pony Tales / int_1f6983f7	comment	Ambiguous Situation: Brightglow and her fellows are believed to be a UFO, and are the only pegasi (or Winged Unicorn in Dazzleglow's case) in the entire series. It's unclear if they're ponies from somewhere else on the same world or if they're actually aliens. This is only amplified due to sharing features with both the toyline exclusive Sparkle Ponies (who all had some association with space) and the unmade Celestial Ponies, who were supposedly aliens (which would be confirmed by the back of the box when the set finally got a release in 2023), making it even more ambiguous.

My Little Pony Tales / int_4781adbb	comment	Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Again, everyone: they always learn their lessons in the end and usually didn't have malicious intent in the beginning. Teddy was really intended to be this type of character, but in practice, we've only got Sweetheart's word to suggest that Teddy is a saint with a Jerkass facade, as most episodes that heavily feature him basically make him the villain of the story, and he learns his lesson at the end just in time to get Aesop Amnesia by the next time. Ace, the designated jerk character, on the other hand, fits better as he has more than one Pet the Dog moment that wasn't forced on him.

My Little Pony Tales / int_482c31d4	comment	No Hugging, No Kissing: Although the series does have its share of light shipping, there's barely anything romantic actually going on. Teddy and Sweetheart seem like they were supposed to be the Official Couple, yet there isn't much going on between them besides hanging out, and many times they actually refer to each other as "friends". Then there's "Roll Around the Clock", where everyone acts like Bright Eyes and Lancer were going on a date, but all they did was entering a roller skating contest together and then barely even talked to each other after that. And although the ending of "Just for Kicks" feels very shippy, it doesn't get further than Ace talking with Starlight about soccer, and that's the last the two are seen together in the series. Probably justfied though, considering that the characters are supposed to be around ten.

Completely averted when Bright Eyes actually meets tropical ponies in person and her first reaction is remarking to herself on how normal they look.

My Little Pony Tales / int_6e6b8ca7	type	Tertiary Sexual Characteristics
My Little Pony Tales / int_6e6b8ca7	comment	Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: The only way to tell a background pony's gender is by its single clothing accessory or by the length of its mane. And sometimes, not even then. Half of Teddy's farming cousins, who wear pink coats and have long, curly rainbow-colored manes, are male. And the father looks identical to the mother, but that's a different trope entirely.... This is actually more realistic than it seems, as horses really don't have much in the way of obvious sexual dimorphism, so clothing or mane style being the only differing feature is logical.

It's even kicked off by Patch wanting to do something adventurous and picking something significantly more dangerous than what your average kid could stumble into doing.

Also notable for Cheval, Meadowlark's husband, whom she married in "Sister of the Bride", and he also returns two episodes later, but only has one line of dialogue (albeit a rather sweet one; he tells Clover she'll do wonderfully in the upcoming ballet.) This trope is also present with the Barrington/Berrytown family to a lesser extent than Meadowlark and Cheval. After being introduced in "The Tea Party", none of the members of the family appear for the rest of the show's run.

Then a bird pokes a hole in the balloon, and they lose the instruction manual when Bon Bon tries to throw it at it. Then the flame in the burner goes out. Then they start falling into the waters below that are full of sharks.

My Little Pony Tales / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: A very subtle one. In "Out of Luck", Clover's father chastises her for throwing the 'cursed' teapot in a lake and littering. In "The Great Lemonade Stand Wars", the camera focuses on Lancer throwing away a paper cup and missing the garbage can after Ace and Teddy both hit it. This doesn't come up in the episode and seems just to show Lancer isn't like his friends. In "Blue Ribbon Blues", Teddy ends up accidentally losing an entire picnic basket and its contents into the water which gets washed away and no one ever retrieves them. This seems just to be the inciting incident for the episode, but the Season Finale focuses on the fact the townsponies being careless with their trash and throwing it away recklessly clogs up the river and floods the town, with several ponies doing that exact thing during the episode. They'd been doing it multiple times throughout the season without anyone realizing it. In "The Impractical Joker", Patch's response to seeing the fake flying saucer her friends are using to prank her is to excitedly shout she 'always knew they existed'. Come "Up, Up, and Away", a real UFO appears and she is likewise excited about it. She even meets the UFO, who may or may not actually be aliens.

My Little Pony Tales / int_b4de0dc	comment	Lost Orphaned Royalty: The plot of "Princess Problems" revolves around the King and Queen of the Isle of Pony coming to Ponyland as part of their long search for their lost daughter. Naturally, Patch matches all the descriptions. She's ultimately not happy about it at all, as she's Happily Adopted and is scared of the prospect of losing her adopted parents. Subverted when it turns out she wasn't the lost princess; her old friend from the same orphanage Rosy is, and is reunited with her long lost parents.

My Little Pony Tales / int_bcc92de7	comment	Lost Aesop: In "Just for Kicks", Starlight joins the soccer team hoping to impress her crush Ace (as suggested by their teacher), but he keeps humiliating her out of jealousy towards her natural skill. She goes on to score the winning goal, Ace storms off in a huff, and her friends are thrilled for her, so it seems like an episode about trying new things, but Starlight laments that she only joined the team in the first place to get Ace's attention. This makes the moral seem like "stay true to yourself and don't try to fit another person's ideal.", and it could be if Ace didn't show up in the episode's final minute to ask Starlight out. It's not so much a broken aesop as a very muddled one.

Characters are periodically changing from moving like horses, to the semi-horselike behavior standard to the franchise, to being barely below Funny Animals. In "Birds of a Feather", Bon Bon runs out of food and complains that they'll starve to death, in a forest full of grass. Their solution is to go fishing. In "Sweetheart's Birthday Party," they sit around eating carrots and speak of being happy when they'll be able to eat real food again. In one Fantasy Sequence they go as far as giving one pony human breasts for a single shot, which is never explained.

Even the police officer in "Up, Up, and Away" who blocks the girls from going up to see the UFO only does so because the area is potentially dangerous for completely different reasons (reasons that nearly got Bon Bon killed earlier in the series).

My Little Pony Tales / int_f51c5f3c	type	Never Say "Die"
My Little Pony Tales / int_f51c5f3c	comment	Never Say "Die": Mostly Played Straight, like Patch's ghost story mentioning a knight who "would never again see the light of day", although Bright Eyes briefly talks about pollution potentially killing all the fishes in one episode, and one of the songs has a line "I'd die if people knew my secrets".

My Little Pony Tales / int_f8c079b3	type	With Us or Against Us
My Little Pony Tales / int_f8c079b3	comment	With Us or Against Us: Sweetheart found herself torn between Teddy and her friends several times, with the girls demanding she choose them over him or lose their friendship. (Teddy didn't make it easy with the "Jerk" part of being a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. Sweetheart was usually the only one who ever saw any solid evidence of that heart of gold.)

My Little Pony Tales / int_fb724048	comment	Real After All: Patch's ghost story in "Slumber Party" it would seem, as the ghost of the story character Squire appeared to thank Patch for telling the story.

My Little Pony Tales / int_fe1b2e75	comment	Bigger on the Inside: The relatively small schoolhouse can somehow fit a gym, a cafeteria and an auditorium that seems bigger on its own than the entire school building as seen from the outside.
