Filly Funtasia is an animated fantasy television series created by Jacob and Henrik Andersen for Dracco.

[5][10][citation needed] In early 2021, an earlier produced English version of the series started streaming on the KidsFlix and MyToonz apps in the United States[11] for three episodes.

On March 3, 2022, the series officially premiered with a finalized English version on Channel 5 in Singapore, with episodes being made available on their meWATCH VOD.

Battiwigs, a bat who is Will and Cedric's dorm pet, secretly works for Wranglum as his bumbling minion and carries his master around.

Originally produced by BRB's 3D movie division, Apolo Films, no news has surfaced about the current state of the specials and whether they have been cancelled or not as of late.

[24] Filly Funtasia has gone through development hell five years prior to its release, and was delayed many times before it finally premiered in 2019.

While the reasons for the delay remain unclear, it likely includes financial problems the Andersen brothers were facing, BRB and Screen 21 suddenly ceasing production of the series on their part, and Dracco initiating legal action against Simba Dickie Group.

[26] The final English version, which eventually first saw release in Singapore, was recorded in New York by the studio Audioworks Producers Group.

[6][40] In China, the series was officially released with a Mandarin Chinese dub onto iQiyi, with the title The Colorful Wonderland of the Little Fillys, on November 28, 2019.

Filly Funtasia premiered on September 5, 2020, on Minimax in Hungary,[42] the 7th in Romania and Moldova, the 16th in the Czech Republic, and October 3 in Serbia and Slovenia.

[47] The series premiered on Arutz HaYeladim in Israel in November 2020, and the two seasons are currently available on the streaming service, BIGI.

Since around January 2021,[51] three episodes in English ("Hide and Seek", "The Lost Mermaid", and "Farina, the Fire Dragon") were eventually made available in the United States on the KidsFlix and MyToonz apps, as well as online streaming; both services are owned by Toonz Media Group.

A few episodes in the first season featured at least 1 minute of cut scenes and censorship that was made by the network itself ("The Evil Garden", "Hide and Seek", "The Lost Mermaid", "The Star Crystal", and "Farina, the Fire Dragon").

Alongside the Thai dub, the English version of the series would also be made available on TrueID in Thailand, as a secondary audio track, on April 20, 2022.

Nearly all of them have served as background music at some point, playing through certain scenes with the vocals intact, but a few of them have been sung by the characters in-universe.

Most of the songs were produced by Klaus Derendorf and Windy Wagner;[55] they were not officially released in full on any soundtrack or album.

Artists Drew Seeley, Maria Christensen, Jean-Yves Ducornet, and Leticia Ascencio were credited in the show as "in association with".

The full versions of four songs ("Transformation",[56] "In the Storm",[57] "We Can Find A Way Through It All",[58] and "From Now Until Forever"[59]) in English were released in the form of coloring sheet videos through broadcaster Minimax's sites and channels on YouTube, in late May 2021.

In addition, the regular background music heard throughout the series was composed by Giles Packham and John McPhillips.

Beginning July 13, 2021, the official Ixigua channel of Filly Funtasia in China began releasing short videos no longer than 51 seconds.

[78][79] On August 23, 2018, the episode "The Blue Rainbow" (at the time known as "The Missing Student") was nominated in the Best Animation category in the 58th Asia-Pacific Film Festival, before the series premiered.

While some have been praising it, many articles have came out claiming that the show plagiarized My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, as both center on colorful equines, and that it is not a real domestic Chinese cartoon due to being a co-production and being released first in Italy.

Notably, Tine noticed the Filly Funtasia fandom and acknowledged the term "Funtasian", which would be the equivalent of bronies.
