The storyline and characters are great but the animation has just got to go. they are just so ugly. >.< Please don't take offense but The first time I saw one of the new ponies I was like ummm is that supposed to be mentally retarded pony? So mean I know but gah I can't help it. I just don't see how anyone can think they are cute. Derpy hooves sounds amazing however I suppose the animation would be right for what I've heard about him *giggle*

Okay, I'm just going to say this once. Why are you saying the show is ugly and the ponies look mentally retarded? That is offensive and makes fans of the show such as me really upset. You could say they're not to your taste or you dislike the style, but you didn't. You say the animation has to go and such. I'm sorry but the way you're wording it, it sounds like more of an attack on the show rather than a criticism of what you perceive are the show's faults.
Also, Derpy Hooves is a girl. You can tell by the art style which ponies are girls or boys.

Plus I think Lauren Faust is one of us...

EDIT: Dollykim, I'm actually surprised by some of the voice actors they have for this show. Off the top of my head Twilight Sparkle is Timmy Turner and Bubbles, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are voiced by Madeline. Rarity is Naomi Misora, Spike is Near and Pinkie Pie's singing voice is Misa Amane from Deathnote. The voice of "Flutterguy" in "Bridle Gossip" is Blu Mankuma. You may recognize him from the Robocop TV series. Or Anubis in Mummies Alive!. Or Tigatron. Or everything. Ironically, he also voiced the title Dragon in Dragonshy. And Cheerilee is Sailor Mars.
