Pretty Princess and Magic Pony from "Pretty Princess Premiere"
The Pretty Princess and Magic Pony Power Hour is a fictional cartoon from the series WordGirl that is sometimes simply called "Pretty Princess". It is Becky's and Violet's favorite TV show. TJ Botsford also became interested in the cartoon after an argument with Becky.
The show was first mentioned in the episode "Sidekicked to the Curb". In the beginning of the episode, Becky and TJ were arguing over what to watch on TV. Becky wanted to watch Pretty Princess, while TJ insisted on watching Robots, Robots, Robots!. Because TJ got to choose what to watch last time, Becky got to pick the show, but because of a disturbance by The Whammer, she had to leave. TJ was about to change the channel, but he saw the dragon on the show and ended up watching the whole episode, becoming very enthusiastic about the show afterwards. However, he denies it if anyone asks him, saying it's too "girly" for him to watch.
Becky dressed up as Pretty Princess
Another landmark episode regarding Pretty Princess and Magic Pony Power Hour is the episode "Pretty Princess Premiere". The fictional television series revolves around much of this episode's plot. Violet and TJ were watching the cartoon in the beginning of the episode, though Becky was not there due to being busy fighting the Energy Monster. She arrived in time for the end credits, though she was able to see the message at the end, that a Pretty Princess and Magic Pony Movie would premiere in exactly one week. Mr. Botsford was also seen to be a big Pretty Princess fan, with a lifelong Pretty Princess Fan Club membership card.
Episodes of Pretty Princess were also shown in "Mr. Big's Dolls and Dollars" and "Wham Up!". It has been mentioned in many other episodes, however, and getting cameos on various television screens, such as in Lady Redundant Woman's lair in "The Young and the Meatless". Becky also dressed up as the Pretty Princess for Halloween in "Tobey's Tricks and Treats", while TJ was Count Cloudy. The cartoon has been shown to be wildly successful in Fair City, with the show and the characters being celebrated at events such as the movie premiere.
In the episode "The Pretty Princess and Mr. Big Power Hour", Leslie was also revealed to be a fan of the show.
It is shown in The Straw That Broke Two-Brains' Back that the show is produced using traditional animation.
The Pretty Princess and magic Pony Power Hour Video game
It is interesting to note that in early episodes, the show was called Pretty Princess and Sparkling Pony Power Hour (although it is also possible that that is a separate series, considering that in "Sidekicked to the Curb", it was mentioned as airing its final episode).
There is also a Pretty Princess and Magic Pony Power Hour video game that is kind of addictive, as seen in "Seize The Cheese" and "Monkey Business".

Magic Pony[]
Magic Pony (true name Penelope Pony) is Pretty Princess' trusted horse sidekick. In most episodes he cannot speak and merely neighs, but during "Wham Up!]]" he was voiced by Kevin McDonald. He appears to be much more levelheaded than the Princess.
Count Cloudy[]
Count Cloudy is the main villain in the Pretty Princess and Magic Pony Power Hour. He tries to defeat Pretty Princess and take over as king of Sparkletopia, using whatever means possible. His hair and beard resemble a storm cloud, and he carries a lightning staff. It is unknown if the staff contains any magic powers.
The Storyteller/The Lute Player[]
He appears in the WordGirl game "Pretty Princess: Magical Rescue". He introduces the game and acts as a guide. In the TV movie "The Rise of Miss Power", The Storyteller appears again, this time trying to make it more "exciting" with his magical lyre. He seems to be a satyr or fawn, as he has the body of a goat from the waist down. He even makes it known that he is "The Storyteller." Everytime when Sparkletopia was visited, he always says "Good Morning, welcome to the land of Sparkletopia." The Storyteller never appeared on TV again.
