The first season was helmed by Creator/LaurenFaust, a highly accomplished, Emmy Award-nominated animator -- for example, she was the writer and director of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' and ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends''. ''Friendship is Magic'' is her attempt to rescue the genre of girls' cartoons by presenting a clever show with a strong and diverse cast of female characters who aren't preoccupied with fashion and boys. Her goal was to create an intelligent show for girls that boys and grown-ups could also watch without wanting to shoot themselves. As the substantial PeripheryDemographic can attest, she seems to have succeeded. Following the end of the first season, Faust stepped down as the show's executive producer, but she continued to work with the show as a consulting producer through production of the second season.

Not to be confused with ''VideoGame/MyLittlePonyFriendshipGardens'', a Gen 2 PC Game.  However, there is a game based on the series, ''VideoGame/MyLittlePony''.
