My Little Pony Friendship is Magic is a cute children's cartoon that went on air last year. I would like to bring this particular episode to this community's attention, though.
While wrapped in a cute, friendly, and fun loving appearance, this episode is actually pushing anti intellectualism and religious faith as values that children should adopt. This is not a Christian themed cartoon, and this them only appears to be slipped in this one episode somewhere in the middle of the season.
I would like to hear comments and opinions from anyone interested in Christian influence in children's media that is supposed to be for everyone. (or opinions from anyone who has 20 minutes to spend chilling out to My Little Pony)

As an aside what do you think the reaction would be if a non-subtle message of atheism, science and reason were to be put forward in a cartoon (granted Twilight was skeptical at the start - but she believed in the end) - I think you'll find that there would be outrage - typical christian hypocrisy
We should market My Little Trojan Horsey
Comment by Oscar Bobadilla on September 28, 2012 at 11:38pm Well, i like a lot this tv show, but the end was religious, because it promotes a thought submissive, was not critic, how the new generations should be; the end of the episode can be changed from believe in supernatural "anything" to trust in your real friends easily and the episode had not lost sense
Comment by Kin Yutaka on December 2, 2012 at 8:50am Okay, late to the game here, but while they never found an explaination for Pinkie Pie's Pinkie Sense,they did show ample evidence that it works. It is like gravity. We don't know how it works exactly, but it does.
