History YMMV / FillyFuntasia

* SpiritualSuccessor: This show is ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTales'' [[XMeetsY meets]] ''Toys/MonsterHigh'' meets ''Literature/HarryPotter'', with the tone of ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears''.

* WatchItForTheMeme: Once the show finally premiered and the brony fandom caught on, those that were familiar with the show's MemeticMutation status would give it a shot if only for this and the BileFascination of it all. They ended up thinking it was SoOkayItsAverage.

* WatchItForTheMeme: Oh, like ''you'' weren't curious about this show in 2013 when the brony fandom went ham [[MemeticMutation memeing this show to death]] when it was first announced. As you can infer by now, some people were pleasantly impressed with the final product once the show finally aired, or in the least, just thought it was SoOkayItsAverage.

** "NO FROM [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 SIMBA]]!"[[note]]Viva Reverie made a [[https://youtu.be/Ho3LPdJ7soA video]] making fun of a German toy commercial for ''Filly''. It's also a popular joke to point out that the distributor for the toyline (who is sometimes mistaken for creating it) [[NamesTheSame shares the same name]] with [[Characters/TheLionKingFirstFilm Simba]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994''.[[/note]]

** A necessity for [[SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel a show]] [[TastesLikeDiabetes like this]], all of the Fillys look adorable despite the somewhat unpolished CGI animation. But [[NiceGirl Bella]] ''especially'' qualifies.

* {{Fanon}}: Cedric is usually regarded as an autistic-coded character (to a similar degree as [[Characters/StevenUniversePeridot Peridot]] or [[Characters/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPowerOtherGroups Entrapta]][[note]]Who were both later confirmed to be ''intentionally'' autistic-coded by WordOfGod[[/note]]), due to him being very intelligent yet not as understanding to some emotions and willing to question anything that doesn't seem logical.

* HilariousInHindsight: While Principal Sparkle already sounds [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic familiar to another purple alicorn we all know]], in season 8 of that show, Twilight Sparkle [[spoiler:actually becomes a teacher, and at least most the season is dedicated to a school setting.]] Go figures.

* NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity: If it weren't for ''Blog/EquestriaDaily'' reporting on the show ''three times'' before its premiere (with additional help from 4chan! DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything), most people wouldn't have even known that this show existed. Sure, it helped kickstart the "ripoff" complaints, but it also helped the show gain a cult following, and to some bronies, it was just pure BileFascination.

Sure, it helped kickstart the "ripoff" complaints, but it also gained itself a sizeable, dedicated fanbase that joined together to enjoy a surprisingly fun and creative show.

* AngstWhatAngst: In "Farina, the Fire Dragon", Rose finally learns that [[spoiler:her great-grandmother Lilly was the one who made the all powerful Dark Crystal, inavertently aiding Wranglum, all because she got her heart broken. After a lot of self-doubt and crying at just about any mention of what Lilly did wrong, she then learns that her great-grandmother [[TheAtoner atoned for her actions]] by helping Farina the Dragon get back to health.]] This still doesn't really excuse anything that she did prior to that, only just implying that she regretted doing it, but Rose surprisingly gets over her dilemma ''too'' quickly. Not helping is that all of this ''only'' came up in this episode and not before, despite how it feels like it should've been a longer CharacterArc.

** A quick scene in the first trailer of the show[[note]]From the episode "The Cupcake Mystery."[[/note]] where Bella kicks with her hind left leg and yells "haaaa!", causing four other fillies to follow suit, became a short-lived meme within the brony fandom.

* HilariousInHindsight: While Principal Sparkle already sounds [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic familiar to another purple unicorn we all know]], in season 8 of that show, Twilight Sparkle [[spoiler:actually becomes a teacher, and at least most the season is dedicated to a school setting.]] Go figures.

* SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing: Due to being the first dub we ever officially got, plus the voices generally being better (''especially'' Wranglum's), people vastly prefer the Italian dub to the English version simply based on the latter's [[https://vimeo.com/359568880 trailer]]. People weren't fond of the older English trailers either.

* UglyCute: Wranglum's real form might somewhat qualify to some, but his "mirror face" is this trope in ''spades'', being very expressive (even ''moreso'' than Wranglum's ''real'' face, even) and pulling a lot of comical, or outright ''cute'' expressions.

** A quick scene in the first trailer of the show[[note]]From the episode "The Cupcake Mystery."[[/note]] where Bella lifts up one of her hooves and yells "haaaa!", causing a line of other fillies to follow suit, became a short-lived meme within the brony fandom.
