Trivia
The film was self funded by Hodgee Films.

Goofs
At one point in the film, Mike Bernstein says that the fandom started on 4chan's "/b/" (random) board. While it is true that the fandom did get its start on 4chan, and started to pick up steam on "/b/", the show first started getting noticed on "/co/" (cartoons and comics). Additionally Mike says that the word "brony" comes from "/b/ + pony", when really, this is not entirely true, either. Contrary to what Mike says, "brony" is widely accepted as having come from "bro + pony".

Quotes
Ashleigh Ball: As long as My Little Pony exists there will be Bronies.

A well made doc that doesn't tell the full story

Bronies are weird. Mostly. I found some of their stories interesting, particularly the military guy and the "manly" guy, but other than that the rest are guys in rainbow wigs. On top of that, the fandom is noted online for their creation of hardcore pornography based around the show. That's not touched on at all in the film. The film serves more as a biopic about Ashleigh Ball, and to that it does its job. But it's not a tale about bronies... not as they are in reality.
