My Little Pony: Alicorns Ponies is an American–Canadian animated television series produced by DHX Media and Hasbro Studios and premiered on the network The Hub on February 6, 2012. The series focuses on Twilight Sparkle hoping to become an Alicorns one day and hoping that she could be exactly like the Princess sisters, Princesses Celestia and Luna. The series was criticized for its dark humour, meaning it had dark comedy in it. When the series premiered, it premiered after an episode of the 2010 series Pound Puppies. The series was created by Megan McCarthy, who worked on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic for the rest of the series.
The story begins when Twilight Sparkle is hoping to become an Alicorn one day (she became one in the season 3 finale Magical Mystery Cure) and hoping that she can become like Princesses Celestia and Luna one day. But that told her that she needs to try harder to become one, so she asks her friends (Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie (full name Pinkamina Diane Pie), Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack). She tells them that she can't become one because she's too young, so they end up in a time frame and go somewhere far from Equestria. With that, she persuades Rarity not to use her unicorn horn. Rarity then asks Lord Tirek, who killed Twilight Sparkle once in The Adventures of Twilight Sparkle' and he agrees Rarity to get wings. Rarity does not know where to get wings from, so she then asks everyone else. They all said yes, and at the end they finally got wings (even though Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy already had wings). The rest of the series is about Twilight Sparkle and her friends having wings and that they can fly.
Production
Megan McCarthy wanted to create a series specifically about flying ponies. The idea for the show first came up in 2009, when she decided to produce specifically for that. Megan wanted the characters to be the same as My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic but the characters in the series were not used with Flash. Instead they were used in Traditional/Flash animation for later seasons of the show. The series was produced by DHX Media and Hasbro Studios but unlike Friendship Is Magic, it was not produced by Studio B Productions. The title for the show was originally going to be My Little Pony: Twilight Sparkle Adventures. However, Hasbro told Megan to change the title, and she then decided to call it My Little Pony: Alicorn Ponies. As of January 2015, the series is in its fourth season of production.
