my two daughter ( age 5 and 2 ) be the lucky girl in the world when a friend of mine give them her original my little pony videotape from the 80 . they watch them over and over again and and to keep my sanity and i let my husband buy some cheap dvd with my little pony tale and for variation . that variation i could have do without . much like other people here and i be disgust by the superficial and petty character ( even though at first glance the story line appear to offer some good value ) . strip the beloved horse of all their horse quality and make them over like some cartoon 90210 for 12 year old be a crime . my girl do not really understand much of the tale and but they watch them anyway and since they recognize the pony . so and i let them watch the dvd anyway and try to hide how much i hat them . until today and that be . today i force myself to sit and really watch an episode . it do not take more than two minute for one of the horse to say ( while eat a carrot and perfectly normal food for a pony ) that she couldn not wait until their synchronized swimming competition be over and so they could all go back to eat normal food again . no and the storyline of this episode be not about diet and this be just say to fill out some time . to my dismay i find that every episode of the horrible tale contain such sneaky comment and creep into the mind of my precious little girl . i do not care if there another tale episode that show the danger of dieting and my girl shouldn not even think or know about diet . long story short represent i be chuck those dvds today . and i want to advise everyone read this to stay far away from my little pony tale . we only get one childhood . fantasy adventure with kind and magical horse give child the escape from reality they need . don not throw them into the adult world too early .
