MY LITTLE PONY: PONY LIFE - TARA STRONG INTERVIEW

You may know Canada’s own Tara’s voice and not even realize it. From Hello Kitty to Power Puff Girls to Batgirl, she’s the voice-over artist behind some of the most popular animated characters today. She is reprising her role as ’Twilight Sparkle’ in My Little Pony: Pony Life.

Good things come in small packages! The Mane 6 – Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie – are back with an all-new series featuring brand-new adorable character designs inspired by Japanese Chibi-style animation in Discovery Family’s next magical chapter in the My Little Pony Universe with My Little Pony: Pony Life. Explore the funny side of friendship as the new series premieres November 7 on Discovery Family, but will also stream live and on demand on Discovery Family GO, the network’s TV Everywhere app.

Featuring the same iconic voice actors who made the Mane 6 famous in the mega-hit My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, the new My Little Pony: Pony Life is a departure from the Equestria that viewers were introduced to in 2010. Featuring a more playful tone combined with completely reimagined characters, the new series explores the funny side of friendship set in Sugarcube Corner – the center of the world and home away from home for the ponies. Here, Pinkie Pie serves up frosted cupcakes to the best customers in the world –  her friends! Together, the Mane 6 run into all sorts of cupcake conundrums, delicious disasters, and magical mishaps. And thanks to a mysterious source of magical potions, everyday adventures are about to get really ridiculous!  Each 11-minute bite-sized episode of My Little Pony: Pony Life features playful stories grounded in modern-kid dilemmas with over-the-top humor and tons of magic. 

Emmy-nominated Tara Strong began her acting career at the age of thirteen in Toronto, Canada. Her first lead in an animated series was the title role of Hello Kitty.  She has appeared in TV and film projects such as Party of Five, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and National Lampoon’s Senior Trip.   Her iconic voice over career includes The Power Puff Girls, Batgirl, Rugrats, Family Guy and so many more, including of course, ’Twilight Sparkle’ in My Little Pony. Tara is appearing in the upcoming comedy horror, Witness Infection. She has over 400,000 twitter followers (@tarastrong) and has used her social media to raise several hundred thousand dollars for kids with cancer, animal rescue groups, various activism as well as using her commanding voices for her anti-bullying platform.
