Cartoonist Kate Beaton published the webcomic Hark! A Vagrant from 2008 to 2018 with a variety of characters, one of which was a fat, farting pony.[5] This pony later played a central role in Beaton’s 2015 children’s book The Princess and the Pony; about a warrior princess named Princess Pinecone who receives a pony as a birthday gift.[6]
Beaton was approached several years later by First Generation Films, a production company out of Toronto, asking for the rights to the show to option it (in partnership with DreamWorks Animation) to different streaming services.[7] The show was eventually picked up by Apple TV+ as the platform began to roll out children’s programming.[7]
Beaton is listed on the project as Executive Producer along with Christina Piovesan, Mackenzie Lush and showrunner Stephanie Kaliner.[6] While Beaton worked on the show from her home in Mabou, Nova Scotia, animation was handled by Atomic Cartoons of Ottawa.[6] The cast of included Maria Nash as the title character, Alicia Richardson, Andy Hull, Rachel House, Thom Allison, Chase W. Dillon and Viola Abley.[6][8] Following the release of Season 1, Back Lot Music released a new song called “Warrior” written by Greg Alsop and performed by Tasha Peter.[9]
