Plot Synopsis

Twilight Sparkle is a unicorn pony with a talent for magic spells, and she discovers the most important magic of all -- friendship. Each episode follows Twilight and her friends -- Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie -- as they embark on wondrous adventures in the magical world of Equestria, guided by the nurturing advice of the magnificent Princess Celestia.

Bronies rejoiced when MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC returned for its third season with back-to-back episodes at 10am ET on Saturday, November 10, 2012. The two-part Season 3 premiere focused on the search for the missing Crystal Heart to restore the Crystal Empire, which had reappeared after 1,000 years.

MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC returned for its fourth season on Saturday, November 23, 2013 at 10am ET/7am PT, with The Hub presenting two back-to-back new episodes. In the season opener, Princess Twilight was busy adjusting to her new wings and new role in Equestria when Princesses Celestia and Luna went missing and the Everfree Forest was taking over Equestria. Meanwhile, her friends were all having unusual troubles of their own and it took all of them working together to help find the missing royals. As part of the journey, Princess Twilight is given the chance to discover the secret behind the Elements of Harmony.

On Saturday April 4, 2014 from 11am-Noon ET/PT, Discovery Family Channel premiered the 26-episode fifth season of MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC, showing back-to-back new episodes. In the Season 5 opener, the Mane 6 -- Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity and Applejack -- meet Starlight Glimmer when they are summoned to solve a friendship problem only to find a utopian village in which everyone has given up their Cutie Marks. At first look, the ponies in this village appear happy, but it soon becomes clear that Starlight Glimmer has a vastly different and rather sinister view on friendship and the individual talents that make Equestria's ponies so special. This cliff-hanger episode heralds a season filled with appearance of celebrity guest voice Lena Hall, the series' 100th episode, holiday specials, and several original songs. Plus, new characters are introduced and background characters brought to the forefront for the first time, all as part of a journey that embraces such themes as individuality, coming of age, facing fears and achieving your dreams.

In the Comic-Con themed episode titled "Stranger Than Fan Fiction," Rainbow Dash attends the Daring Do Convention in Manehattan and meets a pony named Quibble Pants who despises Daring Do as much as she loves it.
