My Little Pony Meets is a fanmade animated web series created by Logan Miller, aka ToucanLDM. It's a crossover between the animated TV series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and... pretty much everything else.

Hilarity Ensues when characters from various franchises wind up in Equestria- or in a few cases, when ponies travel to other worlds. The circumstances are usually mysterious, the stakes high, and the method by which the characters make the jump between universes is often unexplained.

The first episode was released on August 12, 2012. There are 23 episodes in total. The series can be viewed here.

Sadly, Miller cancelled the series after much burnout, leaving on an unfinished Miraculous Ladybug episode.


     Episodes include: 


This series provides examples of:

  • Adaptational Wimp: Despite showing higher levels of strength and powers, Godzilla falls victim to this when he tied with Spike, who despite being the same size, has shown to be less durable that, with his spikes being destroyed by the Wonderbolts in the show. This amounts to Godzilla being weaker than in Canon.
  • Alien Blood: When Discord gets cut in half in My Little Pony meets Sailor Moon, he bleeds blue.
  • Always a Bigger Fish: It's implied Luna is this to Freddy, as both times they've been shown together he's not stood a chance against her.
  • April Fools' Day: The exact day that the The Louds Meet My Little Pony takes place. It turns out that the whole "going to Equestria" thing was just one of Luan's pranks. As well as (possibly?) Lincoln getting mauled by a wolverine.
  • Arch-Enemy: Implied between Luna and Freddy Krueger.
  • Author Appeal: Judging by the characters used, Toucan seems to be a fan of superheroes and Disney.
  • Bad Ass Adorable:
    • Princess Flurry Heart manages to to hold her own in the fight with Tirek better than Discord and Sailor Moon did, combined.
    • The ponies in general, considering they manage to fend off all kinds of villains on a semi-regular basis, despite being... ponies.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: In Cuphead Meets The Devil successfully drags Rainbow Dash to hell and makes some rather disturbing implication on what he's going to do with her. Though luckily, this will not likely last much longer...
  • Berserk Button: Do not ask Celestia why she isn't a Queen.
    • It is mutually ill-advised to mention queens at all in her presence.
  • Big Bad: Joker in The Joker Meets My Little Pony, Zod and Chrysalis in Superman Meets My Little Pony, Slender Man in ??? Meets My Little Pony, Freddy Krueger in Freddy Krueger Meets My Little Pony, Tirek in Sailor Moon Meets My Little Pony
  • Big Ball of Violence: Sonic and Tails Doll get into one with each gaining the upper hand for a while until it starts up again.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Rainbow Dash, Iron Man, and Luna pull these in ??? Meets My Little Pony, Iron Man Meets My Little Pony, and Freddy Krueger Meets My Little Pony, respectively.
    • On an inverse, Trogdor pulls one of these off in Homestar Runner Meets My Little Pony.
  • Big "NO!": Freddy screams this when Luna reveals she has no intention of letting him getting away and throws him into Hell.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall:
    • In some episodes, especially if Pinkie is involved. Special mention goes to Wreck it Ralph Meets... when she exits the Youtube video she's in and meets fellow serial fourth-wall breaker Deadpool, no less!
    • Freddy Kreuger does this twice in his video. The first is when Apple Bloom escapes being impaled on a bed of spikes by stopping midair while falling and running off, upon which a frustrated Freddy exclaims "Frigging cartoon logic!". The second is when Jason Voorhees suddenly appears and tries to kill Apple Bloom, only for Freddy to tell him to get lost and that it's his MLP Meets short.
    • Lincoln Loud also breaks the fourth wall in his episode, when he and his sisters notice Ponyville nearby ( or so they think.), noting that this should've been expected given the channel's content.
  • Brick Joke: In Tsum Tsum Meets..., Apple Bloom and Scootaloo are captured by the now belligerent Tsum Tsums, and Tsum Tsum!Mickey calling to "Bring forth the Big One", only for Tsum Tsum!Ariel to say "the Big One" is running late and it will take a while to get there. Once Scootaloo manages to convince the Tsum Tsums to leave the Crusaders' Clubhouse, it appears to have a somewhat-happy ending as the camera pans out. That's when a gigantic Tsum Tsum Mickey (aka "the Big One") lands and destroys the Clubhouse as it wonders where everyone went.
  • Bring My Brown Pants: In Sailor Moon Meets My Little Pony Part 2 Discord wets himself after Usagi give him the What the Hell, Hero? moment listed below.
  • Bullying the Dragon: Freddy mouths off to Princess Luna...and promptly starts screaming a Big "NO!" when she responds by casting him into the depths of Hell.
  • But Now I Must Go: Happens a lot to the special guest the episode is focused on.
  • Butt-Monkey: Spike, Diamond Tiara, Mayor Mare, Flash Sentry, Applejacknote , Bon Bon/Sweetie Drops and Lyra Heartstrings.
  • Call-Back:
    • Every time Batman appears, there's a call back to Batman meets...
    • Applebloom throwing apples at Freddy Krueger (along with a loathed installment in the latter's franchise) similar to what her and Batman did to The Joker, before. Freddy even lampshades this.
  • Cassandra Truth: In the Wreck It-Ralph episode, Vanellope initially doesn't believe Taffyta when the latter informs her about Pinkie.
  • Continuity Nod:
    • In Godzilla Meets..., when Apple Bloom is on her way to Zecora's hut, Pikachu and Psyduck (from PokĂ©mon Meets My Little Pony) and Slender Man (from ??? Meets My Little Pony) can be seen fleeing from Godzilla along with creatures from the Everfree Forest.
    • After getting back to Metropolis, Batman informs Supes he already knows about the ponies.
    • Elsa remembers the ponies from her cousin Rapunzel's story.
  • Composite Character: The monster who fights the Sailor Guardians in Sailor Moon Meets My Little Pony takes visual inspiration from several of the monsters throughout Sailor Moon- such as having Morga’s star on her forehead and having Boxy’s belt.
  • The Conspiracy: Played for Laughs at the end of Frozen meets..., where it is hinted that Celestia is promoting the "Queens are evil" stereotype for unstated reasons. Complete with ominous shot and music of her spying on the ponies, after Elsa reveals that not all Queens are evil.
  • Cool Sword: Princess Sally has NICOLE digitally construct a sword and shield for her which allows her to fend off Tails Doll for a while as Sonic recovers.

    • ToucanLDM meets My Little Pony.
    • ILoveKimPossibleAlotnote  interacts with Kim and goes on a small tirade post-credits.
  • Crossover: Duh
  • Curbstomp Battle:
    • Shego just doesn't stand a chance against Princess Celestia as she gets taken down with one telekinetic catch and electrocuted for good measure.
    • Luna at one point is shown beating the crap out of Freddy Krueger. When she arrives to save Applebloom from him in his video, she impales him and throws him into Hell without any chance for him to fight back.
  • Day in the Limelight: Dinky appears as a supporting character in Sonic Meets, despite normally only being a background character.
  • Deal with the Devil: "Cup Head Meets" reveals that Rainbow Dash was actually the same Rainbow Dash from generation three, but she made one of these to get a new personality, becoming the Rainbow we know and love.
  • Death Glare:
    • In Wreck-It Ralph meets... Ralph and Vanellope both give Pinkie one after getting a hold of her.
    • In Elsa meets... both the Arendelle sisters and Hans give glares to each other as Pinkie attempts to get them home.
  • Died in Your Arms Tonight: After being beaten up by the Diamond Dogs, Spike dies in Rarity's hooves. He gets better.
  • Downer Ending: "Cup Head meets" ends with Rainbow Dash beaten and being dragged to hell to be tortured for the deal she made. Though on the bright side, Cup Head and Mugman make it clear in The Stinger, that they plan on saving her and the others they sent to hell, after they're done clearing their own debt, so she'll likely be saved soon.
  • Dragged Off to Hell:
    • Luna throws Freddy Krueger into hell, at the end of his episode, after impaling him with her horn.
    • Sadly Rainbow Dash is subjected to this fate, after Cup Head and Mugman incapacitate her. Though the latter two do plan on bringing her back...
  • Dying Declaration of Love: Spike tries to tell Rarity that he loves her, but dies before he gets to do so. Again, he got better.
  • Evil Doll: Tails Doll up to eleven. At times, it speaks with a deep guttural voice, shows red eyes, fangs and claws coming out from its gloves.
  • Evil Is Petty: After Appleboom asks Freddy why he wants to kill her, he tells her other then pure sadism, it's because he's out of glue.
  • Fantastic Racism: Rarity dislikes mutants and even beats up Spider-Man with her broom when she mistakes him for one.
    • In Homestar Runner Meets My Little Pony, Twilight Sparkle dislikes Strong Bad for being a "non-pony".
  • For the Evulz: Freddy admits that part of why he wants to murder Applebloom is because he gets 'a huge kick out of it.'
  • Freak Out: Ron learns there's a Bueno Nacho in the Equestria Girls-verse, but gets this upon learning from Sandalwood it's always sold out due to Sonata Dusk buying out everything.
  • Gilligan Cut: Variation. In the Wreck It-Ralph episode, Vanellope laughs off Taffyta's claims of Pinkie Pie attacking Sugar Rush. Cut to Vanellope staring in shock at Pinkie's antics.
  • Groin Attack: Implied to be Sailor Moon's reaction to Discord faking his death after Tirek splits him in two.
  • Half the Man He Used to Be: In Sailor Moon Meets..., Discord saves Sailor Moon from being obliterated by Tirek's Wave-Motion Gun horns, and the blast blows him in two.
  • Hilarity Ensues: After Pinkie Pie visits Sugar Rush and tries to eat its citizens.
  • Humans Are the Real Monsters: During the Rick and Morty episode, Rarity declares that humans (except Rapunzel) are the worse species in existence after having an unflattering encounter with Rick. Morty agrees with her.
  • Human Cannonball: Sonic borrows Pinkie's Party Cannon to shoot himself out while powered-up with a Power Ring to finally destroy Tails Doll.
  • Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Luna runs Freddy through the chest with her horn, then throws him into Hell.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: When Morty chides Rick for his poor treatment towards Rarity, Rick reminds him that the pony attacked him first out of biased views about humanity.
    Rick: Yeah, she's so innocent. They should have merchandise with the tag line "Rarity. Hates the majority of the human race. Just saying".
  • Kick the Dog: Literally, Sweetie Belle kicks the Tsum Tsum Pluto. The Dog Bites Back immediately afterwards.
  • Mama Bear:
    • In The Stinger for "Sonic Meets", Derpy drops a piano on Scratch and Grounder after their latest scheme to take out Sonic almost resulted in her daughter being hurt.
    • Luna finds Freddy trying to kill Applebloom. Her response is to quickly run him through on her horn and throw him into Hell.
  • Meaningful Background Event: While Kim is with Wade and Ron complains about being in an alternate verse, Drakken and Shego distract Bon Bon and ponynap Lyra.
  • Mythology Gag: Godzilla Meets starts off in a familiar fashion. Lampshaded by Bambi himself.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown:
    • In Rapunzel meets My Little Pony, the Diamond Dogs beat up Spike so severely, that he ends up dying from his injuries. Rarity was only too happy to pay them back in kind, ultimately bucking them out of town on a deadly-looking trajectory.
    • ToucanLDM meets My Little Pony ends this way as well. After 12 episodes of being the butt monkeys in his videos, Lyra and Bon Bon bring him to Ponyville to pay him back in kind. Doubly ironic, considering he had previously ended that Running Gag since he felt bad about torturing them.
    • In The Joker meets My Little Pony; Joker himself becomes a victim of this thanks to Batman, after he made Applebloom cry.
    • The Tails Doll gives one to Angel, during "Sonic Meets".
  • No-Nonsense Nemesis: Luna wastes no time dealing with Freddy at all. She impales him through the back on her horn, then throws him straight to Hell. Justified, as she knows exactly who he is and Applebloom's life is in danger.
  • Off Screen Moment Of Awesome:
    • Batman beating the Joker in The Joker meets My Little Pony. We hear it, but we don't see it because Batman had the lights off in the shed the characters were inside.
    • The KP Villains (most likely Shego) tying up and muzzling the Apple Family despite Apple Bloom and Granny Smith not being threatening.
  • Oh, Crap!: Freddy's reaction to Luna opening a portal to Hell.
  • Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: The voice actor for Tirek in Sailor Moon Meets is pretty good- but occasionally when shouting it turns into something very... southern.
  • Piano Drop: In the stinger for Sonic meets My Little Pony, Scratch and Grounder the ones responsible for Tails Doll, get one dropped on them courtesy of Derpy.
  • Powered by a Forsaken Child: Drakken's plan is to capture a unicorn pony to use its magic as an energy source. Lyra was first captured for this role, but, thanks to Shego's commentary, he then gets the idea of getting Princess Celestia herself
  • Punch-Clock Villain: Cuphead and Mugman serve as this in their meets episode.
  • Retcon: Spider-Man acts like he never encountered Ponyville or its residents in Spider-Man Meets..., despite his small cameo in Batman Meets.... Word of God has said this was intentional.
  • Shut Up, Hannibal!: Luna gives Freddy a pretty good one:
    Freddy: Well this is just great. I had one chance of making a good killing in the dream world and now the giant blue pinata comes in and ruins my fun! I need to rethink my strategy.
    Luna: Well maybe you should start thinking once you're back in your place (sends him to Hell).
  • Ridiculously Cute Critter: The Tsum Tsums.
  • Take That!: To G3.5 when Spike sends Godzilla to rampage it. In The Stinger, Discord claims that Zilla is the Kaiju no one likes.
  • Talking Animal: Most of the human characters lampshade this when they meet the Ponies.
  • Tempting Fate:
    • Freddy brags that 'nothing will ever kill me'. Cue Luna showing up and doing just that.
    • Celestia calls out to Ron to not touch the mirror next to a buffet table in a nearby room. Cue Ron going to the Equestria Girls universe.
  • The Cameo: Various characters have cameos in each episode, mainly in the background.
    • Taken to the extreme in The Joker Meets My Little Pony when over two dozen OC's and cannon characters appear throughout the latter half of the episode.
    • Nick Fury, Captain America, and Thor appear at the end of Iron Man Meets.
    • Jason Voorhees appears in the middle of Freddy Krueger meets, before Freddy tells him to get lost. Later, after Luna throws Freddy back into hell, Michel Myers and Chucky can be seen at a bar with him, where Chucky's laughing his head off about Freddy's defeat, until Freddy slices his head off.
    • Sonic Meets My Little Pony has many one-shots appearing from Season 6 ranging from Coriander Cumin and Saffron Masala to Sky Stinger and Vapor Trail, as well as several recurring characters and OC's, the Tsum Tsums and Olaf also make their return, we see a good portion of the Sonic cast at Tails' birthday party, and pony!Sunset Shimmer makes an appearance after the fight, before returning to the human world.
    • Dr. House appears at the end of Toucan LDM Meets.
    • In Elsa Meets we see Pinkie Rose's OC (Who worked on the episode.), Olaf and Flurry Heart appear at the end, and Derpy appears briefly, after Elsa initially failed to wrap up winter.
    Derpy: And ponies' say I mess things up.
  • To Be Continued: Sailor Moon Meets My Little Pony is the first "Meets" animation to have more than one part.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Spike, despite his Butt Monkey status, manages to fend off the Diamond Dogs alongside Rarity and in his "monster form" manages to fight Godzilla to a draw.
  • The Stinger: Some episodes have a post credit scene.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Freddy remains smug even after Luna runs him through on her horn...until she opens a portal straight to Hell. Freddy goes from trash talking to full on panic mode in under a second, only able to repeatedly scream out a stream of Big Nos as he's dropped to his fate.
  • Villain Team-Up: Queen Chrysalis and General Zod in Superman Meets My Little Pony, apparently because Chrysalis managed to save him from the Phantom Zone.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Sailor Moon gives one to Discord for making her think he was dead, for a quick laugh.
