Produced by Sunbow Productions and Marvel Productions, with animation production by Toei Animation in Japan and AKOM in South Korea, the film was succeeded by a television series anthology which ran in late 1987. A ten-part episode from that series, [6] The End of Flutter Valley, served as a sequel to the film. When Mimic becomes afflicted with a mysterious illness, Megan and the ponies embark on a series of odd adventures to find the four golden horseshoes with the power to heal the ailing unicorn. Spike goes in search of his roots and joins a dragon horde, but finds he doesn't agree with their bullying ways. The Baby Ponies are in trouble again -- this time they lose their own shadows! The adventure begins as they follow a Pony Star named Knightshade. Knightshade's assistant, Zeb the Zebra, turns out to be the shadow-grabbing culprit. By the time Megan and the other Ponies catch up to the Baby Ponies, nearly all of their shadows are gone! Molly must take a daring ride for help. Will she be successful? Or will the Ponies lose their shadows forever?
