One of the most infamous toy franchises out there, '''''My Little Pony''''' is hard to sum up in a sentence or two. Starting in the early [[1980s]], ''My Little Pony'' is an utterly massive, generally girl-oriented franchise (though don't tell that to some of its fans) that consists of TV shows, films, comic books, manga, stage productions, video games, novels, and basically everything you can think of a franchise of this scale consisting of, and most of it stars cute little ponies doing daring deeds, [[Equestria Girls|though some stars humans too!]]
==History==
===Early brand history===
[[Bonnie Zacherle]] is often considered the creator of the ''My Little Pony'' brand. Alongside [[Charles Muenchinger]], she created [[My Pretty Pony]], the 'zeroth generation' of the franchise. Zacherle made the series to appeal to both girls and boys, but by [[Generation 1]] rolled around, the brand became much more female oreinated in contrast to Hasbro's 'male-centric' brands like G.I. Joe and Transformers.
