A reboot of Hasbro’s popular 80’s brand developed by acclaimed animator Lauren Faust, MLP has completely changed the landscape of not only cartoons targeted for girls but children’s entertainment as a whole. It may seem unusual to place a children’s cartoon on the same level as major film/television franchises, but there’s no denying the cultural phenomenon that is My Little Pony. Between Game of Thrones and Avengers: Endgame, the year 2019 seems to be marked by finales. After nearly a decade, the widely popular My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic animated series is coming to an end.
