NICK ANIMATION PODCAST
EPISODE #18: LAUREN FAUST
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic creator Lauren Faust hated the My Little Pony TV show as a kid. Why can’t girl cartoons be badass too? After honing her storytelling skills on Iron Giant, Powerpuff Girls, and Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends, Lauren got her chance to make My Little Pony the way she always wanted. You’re welcome all you girls and Bronies!
Listen on:

I listened to this whole thing super duper late last night and spent the whole time basically nodding my head in agreement to many things said and smiling like a dope. :’D I really really enjoyed this podcast!
…and oh, also, speaking about that one independent toy venture…
…this is in a place of prominence next to some of my other PPG things and it is great and wonderful and I’m so glad I got it when I did (and was so happy because when I bought it long long ago I sent a message to Lauren about how much I loved it– never really expecting to get a reply or anything, I just wanted to say thanks– and was completely shocked when she responded! And she was so super nice! It was a small teeny thing but sometimes those things stick with you!). I really really REALLY loved Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls. I really wish it’d become a bigger thing (but on the other hand, it led to a bigger thing, so… it all works out!)!
