There are also moments on the show that have directly affected Strong's personal life. It's very light-hearted and it just has a nice, warm message. You can relate to one or more characters on the show. There's a character for everybody, every personality is in at least one or two ponies. For the older kids and a lot of grown-ups who are nostalgic about their own childhoods and My Little Pony, there's really something in it for everybody. I would say it's very family friendly, with wonderful lessons about being conscientious and a good friend, and it's colorful and funny and entertaining for families. (Fun fact for fans of My Little Pony who are wondering if Strong also does the singing voice for Twilight Sparkle: She does not, but the character does get to show off her singing skills in the Season 7 premiere.)įor those of you who haven't climbed aboard the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic train, here's how Strong sells it:

While everyone knows those first two shows (and their theme songs), Strong had to educate me on that last one, an early 70s series starring Tom Bosley she also humored me with a quick rendition of the theme song. The Jetsons, The Flintstones, and Wait Till Your Father Gets Home. But what are the first cartoons she remembers from her childhood? From DC Comics characters, to Cartoon Network classics, to video games, cartoons, and feature films, Strong has voiced almost everything animated you can think of (except The Simpsons for some reason fans, let's help her out with that). Ringing the Opening Bell might just be Strong's new #1 experience in her long and storied (and continuing) career, a career that's seen her voice some of the most iconic characters in history. Season 7 sees her taking on additional responsibilities when she finds that her students soon need to branch off and become teachers on their own, but don't fret, there's still plenty of fun adventures to be had in Equestria! Strong also commented on her experience on My Little Pony: The Movie, the Ben 10 reboot, and some upcoming (but super secret) projects. Strong's character, a unicorn pony who has transformed into an Alicorn and has become a princess over the course of the series, has grown from her place as a student under Princess Celestia's tutelage to a teacher of other Ponies in Ponyville. The Discovery Family series and Hasbro hit kicks off Season 7 this Saturday, April 15th at 11:30 am ET with a special, two-episode back-to-back season premiere. ‘Friend up’, as the ponies say, on October 20.Fresh from ringing the Opening Bell in New York City at Times Square's Nasdaq MarketSite, Tara Strong, otherwise known as the voice of Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, took some time out of her insane schedule to talk to me about the upcoming season.
