In more modern times, the show has received somewhat more positive. Joyce Slaton at {{W|Common Sense Media}} praised the show for its values of teamwork and empathy, but criticized the show for its product placement, poor educational value and bland characters.
Many of the shows 'darker' villains such as {{MLP|Tirac}}, {{MLP|Grogar}} and {{MLP|Somnambula}} have received cult-followings.{{confirm}}
Many of the shows' characters would be repurposed for later generations, most notable Applejack becoming one of the main characters in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]]''. A number of its other characters would also serve as inspirations, such as {{MLP|Firefly}} for {{FIM|Rainow Dash}} and [[Twilight (unicorn)|Twilight]] for {{FIM|Twilight Sparkle}}. A girl who resembled Megan appeared in the later half of ''[[Equestria Girls]]'' media in background shots, and the entire Williams' family was once mentioned to be staff members at [[Canterlot High School]].<ref>"[[The Fall of Sunset Shimmer]]"</ref>
