Nostalgia has been erased in a revamp of the 1980s classic My Little Pony with the once-whimsical characters now pushing progressive political messaging, and the baddies painted as being ‘anti-science’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘s woke My Little Pony: A New Generation introduces its young viewers to themes of tolerance, prejudice and even fascism as it turns the colorful tiny horses into political pawns.<\/p>\n
The film depicts anti-magic ponies – the ‘the baddies’ – as ignorant anti-science creatures likely to spread irrational fear and untruths.<\/p>\n
It also includes a cameo from a character called\u00a0Deputy Sprout – complete with a tuft of blond mane and bushy eyebrows – who is portrayed as the antagonist.The character appears to be based on former president Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
The entitled and spoiled pony takes a bigoted attitude toward unicorns and the Pegasus, and sets out to battle against them.\u00a0He later atones for his rage-filled ways after losing the battle to his magical enemies, who outpowered him with their friendly and harmonic ways.\u00a0<\/p>\n
