Acerca deste filme

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.

Unfortunately every fandom has its haters (the people who voted one star for the exact same reason there are so many fivestars) and I agree. Many brownies are not "obsessed" and just because their profile picture is that of a pony does NOT make them so. The show is great and there are always extremists in everything, MLP:FiM is not an exception. I love the show, the story and the voice actors with all my heart, but I'm not obsessed with it. If my picture were a pony I would still not be obsessed with it.

It's better then the other brony movie. It had more bronies and more types of bronies. But two things it felt like it was more like a story for ashleigh featuring bronies. 2 they really still think there's gender rules for what shows are "OK" for guys to like . That's why I didn't give it 5.

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.
