For My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic's home video releases, see List of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic home video releases.

This article lists home video releases of the original My Little Pony "Generation One" cartoons produced by Sunbow Entertainment. These include the 1984 special My Little Pony, usually released as Rescue from Midnight Castle; the 1985 special Escape From Catrina; My Little Pony: The Movie, released 1986; and My Little Pony portion of My Little Pony 'n Friends anthology series broadcast 1986–1988.

North America (Region 1)

All episodes of My Little Pony were originally released by Kid Rhino Entertainment (a subsidiary of AOL Time Warner, formerly part of and formerly distributed by Warner Family Entertainment and part of WEA) in North America between 2004-2006. These DVDs are encoded for Region 1 in NTSC format. As of 2012, My Little Pony: The Movie is available on North American DVD. These releases have been discontinued and are now out of print.

The first series and the two previous specials are available in My Little Pony: The Complete First Season, a four-disc box set.

My Little Pony: The Complete First Season
Disc 1 Disc 2 Disc 3 Disc 4

These episodes were supposed to be uncut, but however, these are the versions repeated on The Disney Channel’s unnamed pre-Playhouse Disney-era pre-school programming block, with several differences from the original transmission:

  • All cliffhangers have been edited (except the one from The Revolt of Paradise Estate Part 1) and narrated recaps removed.
  • Rescue from Midnight Castle and Escape from Catrina are the two-part versions, with songs removed and other changes.
  • The Glass Princess Part 4 has its song removed, and has been noticeably slowed down.
  • Mish Mash Melee is not listed on the Disc 3 case and is therefore hidden on Disc 3.
  • Credits vary between those used on original transmission and those used for VHS releases.

The second series is available in two volumes, and are also sourced from the Disney Channel repeats.

On June 9, 2014, it was announced that Shout! Factory had acquired the rights to the series and released My Little Pony – The Complete Series on DVD on September 30, 2014. The four-disc set contains all 65 episodes of the series spanning from the first to the third seasons. As with the Rhino releases however, the episodes are once again based on the Disney Channel repeats, with the two specials again being the two-part episode versions.
