So what is the truth about MLP:FiM? Several years ago, the Equestrian Historical Society, having decided that the adventures of the Mane 6 must be preserved on film for the sake of posterity commissioned a creative team to have the girls re-enact all their most important adventures in friendship. Those adventures would be broken down into half hour episodes and shown in theaters throughout Equestria. In the summers, when not shooting the show they do command performances, do summer stock, etc. Throughout all this, they still have to deal with real life, which will later be filmed and added for the next season. This takes place just prior to their filming the movie. As with most things, all is not what it seems-it will seem very confusing at first - but keep reading - it will all become clear...
Oh, and yes they have their fans...
