Informazioni su questo film

Canadian voice-over artist, Ashleigh Ball, has been the voice of numerous cartoon characters. 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. 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. 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). Initially wary of accepting the invitation Ashleigh begins to learn that there is more to this community than meets the eye.

Ok, I'll be honest: I haven't watched it, but I have a good reason. Put simply, I can't. It is not available in the UK where I live. Why? Would it make more sense to release it over here as well, instead of limiting it to North America? I was super excited when I saw the trailer, and I looked forward to watching it. Especially considering that Rainbow Dash is my favourite character. So please, release it in the UK, and then you can expect to see a much higher rating from me.

This movie is literally a docu about her life. It has very little to do with MLP. It talks about her everyday life and how she feels with being a VA in general. I did not enjoy this docu. I am a huge MLP fan, though, so I had high hopes for it before I first saw it.

It's more realistic than the original documentary released earlier. There are a few things that could have been explained better but from the perspective of the person making the documentary it's about as close to accurate as someone could get I suppose
