In 2017, Hasbro Studios released two series of animated shorts that are tied in with Hasbro's My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, an anthropomorphic spin-off of the 2010 re-launch of My Little Pony. One, Canterlot Shorts, was produced by Boulder Media in the Republic of Ireland, and the other, a series of music videos, was produced by DHX Media in Canada. Discovery Family bills the two series together as Summertime Shorts.
Although the title card for this series has nothing but an Equestria Girls logo, these particular shorts are referred by Hasbro as Canterlot Shorts. These shorts were produced by Boulder Media in the Republic of Ireland (which Hasbro Studios acquired in 2016).
These music videos were produced by DHX Media's 2D animation studio located in Vancouver, Canada, which have produced previous Equestria Girls animated films and specials.
In the United States, the two series were shown on Discovery Family (a joint venture between Discovery Communications and Hasbro) as a part of "Summer Splash" seasonal event, where they are collectively known as Summertime Shorts. Internationally, Hasbro has been releasing each short every Friday since August 11, 2017 via their official YouTube channel, starting with "Mad Twience" and ending with "Epic Fails" on November 10.
