Actually, the new series is far more watchable than the original. While this certainly is not true of many other remakes - the assorted Transformers bastardizations come to mind - this was well done. You can't tell me that the original designs with their massive heads and elephant-feet were any more "horse-like" than the current issue. The movement is far more accurate - particularly the body-language. I've never seen so much attention to the ear-movements in a horse-cartoon as I've seen in this new series.
The writing is far better, the characters are far more likable, and best of all, there's no "small human child who must save all of Ponydom with her latent magical abilities!"
When all I was were the stills, I was thinking "this is going to be horrible" too. But then Dingo finally convinced me to have a look, and I was hooked. Seriously, check it out for yourself, and see. :)
