Is there a Lisa Frank Unicorn cartoon I'm not aware of?

I'm seeing more unicorn avatars popping up; a pink horse with a horn on it's head that looks similar to the aesthetics of the pictures you see on kindergarten Lisa Frank folders. The animation sort of looks fluid and floaty like Foster's Home of Imaginary... but I was just wondering if anyone knew what I was talking about?

I did a google search and looked on cartoon network, but I'd rather not try that again.

Sorry for such a lame question. I'm just really intrigued

    NOOOOO! Iruka, you have invoked them! They will be here soon. Everyone hide. They will feast on my flesh and be gone. I'm... ready.

    It is most likely (as others have linked) My little Pony: Friendship is Magic references. New show that is created by one of the people largely responsible for shows such as Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. This is why the style is similar in looks, the flavor of the comedy and story are very similar as well which is largely part of wide is is gathering such wide appeal outside the specific demographic it is designed for.

    *edit*

    Lauren Faust is her name, wife of Craig McKracken who created Powerpuff girls and Foster's. She also worked on both shows.

    Oh and she animated "Sawyer" in Cat's Don't Dance. Which alone makes her one of the most wonderful people on the planet.

    Yeah, thank you guys so much, that has been bothering me for so long.

    It's totally awesome that this is related, at least a little, to a cartoon show that I used to enjoy a lot as well(PPG).

    As an aside (And to shamelessly recruit you) if you enjoyed PPG I can almost guarantee you'll enjoy MLP:FiM, but there is an entire thread dedicated to that if you wanted more info.

    Definitely, I am watching the episode Iruka posted and Esh's after, what a beautiful show and it doesn't insult my intelligence.

    Goddammit, all of you get back on your side.

    I'm sorry but if it doesn't make you think of a bad drug trip and involve three different kinds of slavery per episode it's just not My Little Pony.
