In [[1992]], Hasbro would launch the second ''My Little Pony'' television show, ''[[My Little Pony Tales]]'', animated by [[AKOM]], which when compared to the original show, was a failure and the toyline would go on a 5 year hiatus in the United States, with only scarce releases in Europe. In [[1997]], [[Generation 2]] was launched, which also resulted in a failure in the U.S., but saw reasonable success in Europe. In [[2003]], [[Generation 3]] was launched, which in contrast, was a massive success and produced a number of toy releases all the way into the early 2010s, bleeding over slightly with [[Generation 4]], which was a monumental success. In [[2021]], Generation 4 concluded, with [[Generation 5]] taking over as the dominant generation. |
