My Little Pony Movies and TV shows in order — A Streaming Guide
In 1981, Hasbro released My Pretty Pony, a plastic toy pony with a long mane that kids could brush. The following year, the toy line was rebranded as My Little Pony and they were given a more whimsical feel with new colors, like the iconic pastel pinks and purples the brand is now known for. In 1986, the toy collection got so popular it received a movie (the first of many). Check out our guide below to see where you can stream every My Little Pony movie and TV show on streaming services in the United States.
My Little Pony: The Movie premiered in 1986 and had a fantastic voice cast that included Danny DeVito, Madeline Kahn, and Rhea Perlman. However, the movie was only released in 421 theaters, severely limiting the number of people who could watch it. Still, it grossed over $5 million at the box office.
The movie was followed by the My Little Pony TV series from 1986-1987 and the reboot My Little Pony Tales in 1992. The series also received three straight-to-video releases between 2005 and 2006 with My Little Pony: A Very Minty Christmas, My Little Pony: The Princess Promenade, and My Little Pony Crystal Princess: The Runaway Rainbow.
In 2011 the franchise became more popular than ever with the premiere of the series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The show ran until 2019 and spawned not just a fanbase, but an entire fandom. On top of the millions of children who loved the show, Friendship is Magic attracted a huge adult audience who created their own community known as Bronies. The fandom even held yearly conventions from 2011-2019 called BronyCon.
During the height of Friendship is Magic’s fame, a theatrically released movie premiered in 2017. My Little Pony: The Movie became a box office success, grossing over $60 million against a budget of just $6 million. The film also had a huge roster of stars voicing the characters, including Taye Diggs, Emily Blunt, and Zoe Saldana, among many others.
In 2020, Friendship is Magic received a short-lived spin-off with Pony Life, and in 2021, My Little Pony moved to Netflix with the exclusive film My Little Pony: A New Generation. The film was followed by the Netflix series My Little Pony: Make Your Mark, which aired from 2021-2023. While the series may have concluded (for now), My Little Pony returned in 2024 with the open-world video game, My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery, so fans luckily still have a lot to look forward to from the franchise. Until then, check out our guide to see where you can stream the entire My Little Pony franchise in order.
