Synopsis

Vancouver-based voice artist Ashleigh Ball has been the voice of numerous characters in classic cartoons such as Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, Cinderella and more. When Ashleigh was hired to voice Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash for Hasbro's fourth series to use the My Little Pony name - My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic - she had no idea she would become an Internet phenomenon and major celebrity to a worldwide fan-base of grownups. Bronies are united by their belief in the show's philosophy. This documentary gives an inside view of the Pony fan-world, and an intimate look at the courage it takes to just be yourself...even when that means liking a little girls' cartoon.

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
jaxenross Being as I'm a brony myself, I went ahead and had a look at this documentary. Managed to endorse the whole thing and best off, it was never boring. I even saw some familiar faces in there! Would be good for the whole family to watch; just has some thematic material so it would've most likely gotten a PG-rating by the MPAA (as the movie's not been given such a rating). Like the one Ashleigh Ball said: "As long as My Little Pony exists, there will be Bronies."
david Kyle This is a great documentary that fully explores the Brony phenomena in a hilarious way. Brent Hodge really knew what he was doing when he directed this film and being able to see the community through the eyes of unknown individuals and watching Ashleigh Ball explore this community was great to watch. I really hope they make another one with some of the rest of the cast of My Little Pony and visit some of the more prominent names in the brony community. I can easily see how it's won the best documentary award at various prominent film festivals. The scientific studies in the film were very well done and really showed how large the fandom is. They really were able to show how the fandom is really a collection of many different kinds of people who are in all walks of life. The music in the film was very well composed and very well done. The composition was amazing and flowed with the film like it was an organic part of the movie. I would highly recommend this film to anyone who would like to see how great these subcultures are before judging them.
Dark Doomer Facts to know: I love this cartoon, I love the art community and fanworks around it, being a part of it is really and always a great experience. but then there's bigmouthes with an ego the size of the moon who want to make the fandom a part of their lives, and take everything about it seriously.That's not the state of mind of MLPFIM's philosophy to begin with, and from what I watched, it's like the brony doc : awkward teenagers dancing and bragging about their "redefining masculinity" bullshit.This is so awkward, one must have courage to still look at a little pony after watching this.I'm sorry Ashleigh.
savage-henryog Saw this surrounded by cheering, cool, nice (maybe a bit too talkative) people who describe themselves as Bronies. They were cool. Nice and true to themselves without a heir of pretension. Wish the same could be said about the focus of "A Brony Tale." She's a voice actress (and friend of the director), blonde and bland. Her band sucks.A more interesting character appears, tells us of his boredom. Never feeling part of something. A loner. A true soul. A depressive state took over after serving in Iraq, with which he found relief in drawing ponies. Little Ponies. Friendship Is Magic!
