Parents guide

Some butt animations are shown. Not often though.

Body functions, such as stomach growling and burping are sometimes shown.

Fluttershy's puffed cheeks holding her breath in "Stare master" may be suggestive to some viewers.

Some belly jokes.

Spike plays with his stomach at times.

Nothing explicit is shown or talked about, but there might be some innuendos that kids won't understand.

Some kissing and hugging.

Throughout the series, Spike the Dragon has a huge crush on Rarity.

Several season premier and finale episodes include scenes of characters engaging in fights with villains. There is no on-screen blood, but characters do still punch, kick, and throw each other, as well as shoot magical energy beams at each other in a cartoony manner.

in the episode ¨magic duel¨ a unicorn whips two ponies with a whip. in that same episode; there is also an allusion to ¨writhing in agony¨.

In one episode a character thinks her pet bunny is crushed by a pillar, it turns out to have just been a shadow and the bunny is perfectly safe.

Lots and lots of slapstick violence, including things such as anvils/pianos falling on ponies.

A monster chokes to death. This is done in a comedic style, but it is still dark.

A few mild references

In one episode, Fluttershy (who is angry at Rarity and Pinkie Pie) says that she doesn't give a 'flying feather', a euphemism for 'a flying f**k.'

Characters sometimes say "heck." Other times, they'll exclaim things like "what the hay" or "what in tarnation."

Characters may use placeholder swears like "For the love of Equestria!" or "Oh Celestia!"

The characters can be brash and rude at times, as per usual in Lauren Faust and Craig McCracken cartoons.

Some very informal language.

Cider (which many consider to be an alcoholic drink) is served to ponies in an episode. One of the ponies especially loves it.

Character's stomachs growling out of hunger sometimes may distress/anger some viewers.

This show is good for kids with communication/social disabilities because it teaches the importance of friendship.

Rainbow Dash is/may be a representation of ADHD, because her behavior is often impulsive and flashy.

Although the show is mostly lighthearted and cute, who doesn't cause the ponies to scream. There are some episodes that can take a somewhat dark turn "nothing too scary but may disturb or frighten young children" overall the show is very light.

Some characters act rude and brash at times.

None/Mild/Moderate in most episodes.

For preschoolers/kids and up.

A young pony is given terrible nightmares because of her guilt. In one nightmare, she sees her sister rocking back and forth in her abandoned house, looking disturbed and unhinged. Can be very disturbing to young viewers.

Some flashy/brash moments here and there.

Just like in SpongeBob, the characters have breakdowns and tantrums at times. But they're all young adults, so it's pretty normal.
