Tear Jerker / My Little Pony (G3)

• Minty's sadness over ruining Christmas for everyone.
• Wysteria's depression when being a princess alienates her from her friends, especially when Spike tells her they're her subjects, not her friends.
  Spike: A princess doesn't have friends.
  Wysteria: Oh, how sad...
  Spike: (quickly) Well, of course you have friends. You just don't have equals!
• "So Far Apart" from The Runaway Rainbow.
• In a real-life example, a young woman named Andrea Berlinghoff was a passionate fan of the show, often gushing about how she loved it for its portrayal of an innocent Sugar Bowl society and defending its innocent tone, with Minty, Rarity, and Lily Lightly being her favorite characters. She stated that she wished to join Hasbro and become a long-term voice actor for the franchise. Tragically, she died in January 2008 in a car accident, and would not live to see the franchise reach new popularity.
