A Brony Tale

Canadian voice-over artist Ashleigh Ball has brought life to numerous cartoon characters. However, when she was hired as the voices of Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash on the fourth installment of Hasbro's "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" series, she had no idea she was about to become an internet phenomenon and celebrity among a very unique type of fan. 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.
