The show is also notable for being helmed by {{Lauren Faust}}, wife of {{Powerpuff Girls}} and {{Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends}} creator Craig McCracken, and a highly accomplished animator in her own right. Faust is on record as saying that most cartoons for girls are brainless, sickly-sweet pandering trash, and this series is her attempt to rescue the genre from that by presenting a strong and diverse cast of female characters who aren't pre-occupied with fashion and boys. Her goal is to create an intelligent show for girls, that boys and grown-ups can watch without wanting to shoot themselves. So far, she seems to be doing an admirable job.

*** Speaking of rear shots, this is probably the first incarnation of ponies where their back legs are close together all the way up to the tail, forming some sort of hindquarters - not an actual crap, but considering how animators seem to be afraid of showing animal butts on children's cartoons, it's surprising they didn't go for standard "big stump on the back with legs growing from either side".
