About My Little Pony
Friendship Is Magic ran nine seasons and turned a toy tie-in into a fantasy epic about the Mane Six. Its run spun off human-world films, a theatrical movie, a comedy reboot and a full fifth generation with its own cast.
Release order keeps every generation shift clear. Generation 4 stands alone, Pony Life is an optional gag spinoff, and Generation 5 starts with the 2021 film before its two companion series.
