Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony Page #6

Synopsis: In 2010, producer Lauren Faust reworked the notoriously sexist My Little Pony franchise to attempt a quality TV series for both girls and their parents to enjoy, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. As it turns out, Faust succeeded beyond anyone's expectations with an acclaimed hit that also created an adult and teen male fandom no one saw coming, the Bronies. This film explores this following with a look at the franchise, the lives of particular fans around the world and the creative passions their seemingly unusual interest inspires. Although sometimes troubled by the prejudice of others, these kindred spirits enjoy a community experience both in spirit and at conventions that has a special magic all its own.

Dialogue:
0,0:26:10.50,0:26:13.40,Default,,0,0,0,,But Bronies now are starting to get together.

Dialogue:
0,0:26:24.02,0:26:26.26,Default,,0,0,0,,So, when I heard about BronyCon coming up,

Dialogue:
0,0:26:26.36,0:26:29.08,Default,,0,0,0,,I decided that I really wanted to go.

Dialogue:
0,0:26:29.50,0:26:32.86,Default,,0,0,0,,So I came up with this plan, with one of my friends.

Dialogue:
0,0:26:32.86,0:26:35.08,Default,,0,0,0,,If I am willing to pay for the hotel room,

Dialogue:
0,0:26:35.08,0:26:38.44,Default,,0,0,0,,he and his dad would drive me up and pay for meals.

Dialogue:
0,0:26:39.06,0:26:42.74,Default,,0,0,0,,So, I told my parents that I wanted to take a trip with one of my friends.

Dialogue:
0,0:26:48.18,0:26:54.44,Default,,0,0,0,,so they insisted that they go, if I'm gonna go at all.

Dialogue:
0,0:26:54.82,0:26:58.02,Default,,0,0,0,,So, they kept asking questions,

Dialogue:
0,0:26:58.02,0:27:00.46,Default,,0,0,0,,and I eventually told them it was a Comic-Con.

Dialogue:
0,0:27:00.46,0:27:02.58,Default,,0,0,0,,So then that just got them more excited and they were like,

Dialogue:
0,0:27:02.58,0:27:03.64,Default,,0,0,0,,Oh, well who's gonna be there?

Dialogue:
0,0:27:03.70,0:27:05.66,Default,,0,0,0,,And I was like, Well I just kinda wanna go with my friend.

Dialogue:
0,0:27:05.82,0:27:11.22,Default,,0,0,0,,But yet I couldn't find anything online about it, as a comic convention.

Dialogue:
0,0:27:11.76,0:27:15.04,Default,,0,0,0,,Oh no, my parents, they're gonna find out!

Dialogue:
0,0:27:15.62,0:27:18.40,Default,,0,0,0,,Then eventually, my mom just, the curiosity got the better of her,

Dialogue:
0,0:27:18.40,0:27:21.62,Default,,0,0,0,,and she looked it up online, with all the information I'd given her.

Dialogue:
0,0:27:21.62,0:27:23.62,Default,,0,0,0,,She found out about BronyCon,

Dialogue:
0,0:27:23.62,0:27:26.30,Default,,0,0,0,,and she came downstairs to me one day with a smug look on her face,
