My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic stands out as the best cartoon of the 2010s because it consistently delivered smart writing, meaningful character growth, and genuine emotional depth.
The characters weren’t one-note stereotypes—they had real flaws, learned from their mistakes, and evolved over time, especially Twilight Sparkle’s long-term arc.
The show’s clean, expressive art style, strong music, and great voice acting helped it punch far above expectations. Beyond that, its massive and creative fan community proved how culturally impactful it was.
Most importantly, FiM showed that a cartoon centered on kindness and friendship could still be clever, funny, and emotionally resonant—something few shows of the decade managed as well.
