Initially wary of accepting the invitation Ashleigh begins to learn that there is more to this community than meets the eye.Septem When Ashleigh wraps Season 3 of the show she receives an invite from the Brony community to attend BroNYCon (The Brony Convention in New York City). Bronies, or 'Bro' Ponies', are a subculture of adult men who are fans of the show 'My Little Pony.' It is a craze that has taken the United States by storm - but how does this fit with a culture that has told these boys how to act since childhood: Lego, not Barbies! Play soldiers, not fairies! Why are so many men embracing this? Are these men just abnormal or is there something more? 'A Brony Tale' is a documentary that follows Ashleigh into this unknown world - and challenges some deep felt preconceptions. However, when she was hired as the voice of Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash on the 4th generation installment of Hasbro's 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' series, she had no idea she was about to become an internet phenomenon and voice celebrity among a very unique type of fan, the Bronies. The revelations in the film are, indeed, unexpected and give hope to the notion that these Bronies might be on to something quite wonderful.Ĭanadian voice-over artist, Ashleigh Ball, has been the voice of numerous cartoon characters.
The film chronicles Bronies from around the world, each with their unique story, as they make their way to My Little Pony conventions in Germany, England and, the biggest of all, Bron圜on in the USA. The documentary discovers that the essential story elements of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty and Magic – have a universality that extends beyond age and gender and that Bronies are pushing the boundaries of what society deems appropriate in their quest for a kinder, gentler future. Why are these guys attracted to a cartoon intended for little girls? And why are they willing to brave society’s ridicule for their love of the show? One would be hard-pressed to find a cultural sensation as unique and as unexpected as Bronies.
Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony is a feature length documentary film that explores the cultural phenomenon of Bronies: a group of mostly young adult men who are dedicated fans of the animated series, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
