My Little Pony: The Next Generation

Well, now that we have our characters, it’s time to decide what the plot of the show will be.

And when I say “plot”, I mean the premise of the show, not the plot of the pilot episode or any other episode specifically.

For example the premise of Friendship is Magic was usually the Mane 6 solving a problem in Ponyville using friendship, teamwork, etc. Occasionally they would go on quests and adventures, but those usually take place during season premieres and finales.

And again, I'm not going to put down my entire thought process because, again, that would take ages. To summarize I made sure that I had a good strong plot line for a kids show that could fill multiple 30 minute episodes.

So without further ado, here’s the premise:

In the town of Indigo, a family moves in to start a new life. Part of that family is a brother and sister, Neapolitan and Paintbrush. As the two start to settle in, they accidentally discover a rainbow that takes them to a dimension called “The Prism”, a place where no color exists, except for a pony named Spectrum. (Spectrum is a pony who has a hollow inside for the only thing he’s made out of is a rainbow) He tells the siblings that because they have found the rainbow, they are now tasked with the responsibility of putting the world known as “The Canvas" back together. The Canvas was once a peaceful planet, but when arguments arose on how their world should progress, The Canvas split up into six different planets. So now it is up to our two heroes to travel to these planets and restore The Canvas back to it’s original state in:

My Little Pony

The Rainbow Adventures

So obviously this show is going to be more adventure based than slice of life based. Is this a bad idea?

Probably.

But no time to worry about that now, for it’s time to move on to the next step: creating our worlds.
