Hasbro, happy with the success of the series, has started to give G4 the full MerchandiseDriven treatment giving it its own growing ExpandedUniverse. Most G4 stories take place in the magical land of Equestria, a FantasyKitchenSink, and usually revolve around the six "[[JustForPun mane]]" characters: Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie. There are, of course, [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters many more ponies (and a lot of non-ponies)]] than that. As the subtitle of the cartoon series suggests, there's a strong emphasis on teaching ThePowerOfFriendship, from how it enriches everyday lives to how it can [[SpaceWhaleAesop defeat ancient forces of evil with rainbows lasers]].

The fourth incarnation of the LongRunning ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' franchise, also known as the ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic]]'' or Equestria Universe of My Little Pony.

G4 began with the airing of the cartoon series ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' developed by Creator/LaurenFaust, debuting in October of 2010. The series became a surprise smash hit, gaining a huge online fandom. At its core ''Friendship is Magic'' is something of an AdaptationDistillation for the previous cartoons. It has the fantasy & adventure elements of G1, SliceOfLife stories started by ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTales Tales]]'', and much of the cast are re-imagined G3 ponies. You can read more about the series on its own page.
