I was initially told about the brony community by one of my students, so I was intrigued when I stumbled across ‘Boys Who Like Ponies’ – an animated documentary by Norwegian student Hakon Marcus. Yep, boys and men who follow the animated children’s series My Little Pony. Be sure to turn on captions for English subtitles (if you need them).
Any Bronies out there? We’d love to hear your thoughts…

Here’s a sweet little film from Spain…
Boys and girls who have left their hometown tell their story through their memories, family history, past adventures, and their particular sense of distance and oblivion. The past and present of these little citizens of the world is displayed in a fantastic dreamworld, without rules or prejudice whatsoever, fueled only by their words, their playful dreams, and young imagination.

Produced as a final project at the Masters in Animation from IDEC-Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona.
