Nickelodeon today announced a 20-episode order for Pony, an
original 2D-animated buddy comedy that follows the life of an
average girl, Annie, her (almost) average family and what happens
when an excitable, unpredictable, loveable and talking pony comes
to live with them in their city apartment. Pony is the first
animated comedy series to be greenlit for the U.S. from Nickelodeon
International. Created by Ant Blades, Pony is based off a short of
the same name from Nickelodeon’s 2015 International Animated Shorts
Program.

Pony follows Annie’s everyday life as a 9-year-old, from working
at her parent’s city farm, located on their apartment balcony,
homework, school friends and, most importantly, her friendship with
Pony. Pony is Annie’s biggest cheerleader and best friend, although
sometimes his optimism and enthusiasm lands the pair in unusual
situations.
Ant Blades started his creative career writing and drawing for
the cartoon strip Bewley. After his short stint as an animator,
Blades worked for years in the digital creative industry before
moving back to the animation field and setting up Birdbox, a studio
that produces commercials, on-air spots and funny short films.
Nickelodeon’s International Animated Shorts Program is now a
monthly themed outreach effort for original and funny content to
fuel its dynamic development slate. Concepts for the program are
received in all animation styles from 2D, digital 2D, stop motion,
CG and mixed media. Finalists are provided with the necessary
artistic and production support to help them complete their fully
animated original, humor-based and character-driven short.
