Trivia

This film's financing was supplied through the Kickstarter crowd funding website. The multi-week fund raising campaign exceeded its initial fund raising goal of $60,000 in three days and ultimately earned $322,022 in pledges, not counting the concurrent contributions made through PayPal at the end of its run in June 10, 2012.

John de Lancie came up with the idea of this film when he noticed that the adult fandom of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (2010) was being treated with contempt in the mainstream media and wanted to respond to the sneering.

In the third animated segment, when the John de Lancie pony walks past different works of art, one of the pictures is of Tom the Rock, a "character" from the show. The text underneath says "Ceci, N'est pas un diamant", which means "This is not a diamond." In the 2-part episode "The Return of Harmony", Discord (John de Lancie's character) makes Rarity think that a rock is a diamond, and in her daze, she names it Tom.

The music playing behind Professor pony's poetic lessons is the patter song 'My Eyes Are Fully Open' from the operetta 'Ruddigore' by Gilbert and Sullivan.
