How was My Little Pony invented?

It started as an idea by Bonnie Zacherle called "My Pretty Pony" of which were actually pony looking figures. Hasbro eventually bought the rights to it, and changed it to "My Little Pony" and started a show about it, with colorful ponies, unicorns, and Pegasuses to promote the toys more. They did well enough that another generation of my little pony came out, and then a third. However, G3 didn't do so good, and basically all fell downhill. MLP basically was done. But many years later, a women by the name of Lauren Faust (creator of power puff girls and fosters home for imaginary friends) wanted to pitch an idea for a "galaxy girls" toy-line. She was refused by most everyone to make this a show, because little girls shows usually did bad. She was sent to Hasbro where she met with Lisa Licht who liked her ideas, and pulled out an old episode of MLP asking her if she could make a new version. She got together a team of people she worked with in past shows, and formed a 40 page pitch bible as to everything that would be in it. Lauren was one who wanted to break stereotypes, so she made it her way, not just a baby feminist show, and didn't care what Hasbro would think, she just wanted to do it everything her way, and it would get changed later. Only it didn't Hasbro let her keep just about everything her way. She was given lots of control on this, mainly due to they just released Transformers which they gave the director lots of freedom to do what he wanted (trying a new strategy) and it worked great, so they were trying it again. She was then asked to create, just a short little start to the show to give them ideas of what it will look like (that clip was the opener of Season 1 btw). Generation 4 was on its way. Hasbro teamed up with the Hub network to show the show, and it was first released on 10-10-10, and due to many behind the scene things going on on a site known as 4chan, people started to watch it, and it caused multiple flam wars that ended in the brony fandom emerging, and growing to as big as it is today.

If you would like more information on all of how it started, from Hasbros begginings, to modern day, with more detail and explaining how the fandom started, there is an excelent documentary on YouTube that I highly recomend watching. It was put together by bronies themselves, and seems very professional:

What is the lyrics to the old My Little Pony theme song?

My Little Pony, My Little Pony, All in a twinkling, Spring is here. My Little Pony, My Little Pony, When did all the leaves and grass appear? Where there were snowdrifts, Now there are no drifts, Nor is the sky overcast! My Little Pony, My Little Pony, Winter is over at last! My Little Pony, My Little Pony, Frisking about as spring unfolds. My Little Pony, My Little Pony, Breathing in the scent of marigolds. Greeting the bluebirds, Welcoming new birds, Romping through meadow and wood! My Little Pony, My Little Pony, Winter is over for good! Source: http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/G1_Music
