My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is an animated television series based on Hasbro's My Little Pony franchise and marking the start of its fourth incarnation. 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). The six ponies, collectively known as the "Mane Six", go on adventures and help others around Equestria, solving problems with their friendships.

Produced by Allspark Animation and animated by DHX Media Vancouver, the series aired on The Hub (now Discovery Family) in the United States from October 10, 2010, to October 12, 2019. Hasbro selected animator Lauren Faust to head the show. In challenge to the nature of My Little Pony and other girl-targeted properties, Faust employed deeper characterization and fantasy worldbuilding, creating a show that resembled how she played with her toys as a child. She left the series during its second season, with other staff taking over from her.
