Plot
Filly Funtasia is about the adventures of Rose, as she attends a magical academy in the royal kingdom of Funtasia, with her best friends – Cedric, Bella, Lynn, and Will. The Fillys go to school and study their crystal powers, all while Wranglum, the Wizard of the Dark Mirror, along with his minion Battiwigs, try to steal all of the magic in the kingdom.

Production
Filly Funtasia was created by Danish brothers, Jacob and Henrik Anderson, who also founded the Filly toy line around. In Summer, the development of the series began, and Tine S. Norbøll, the developer of the franchise, wrote the story bible for series. She was also an art director for the show. BRB Internacional and their animation studio Studio 21 originally did the animation work, with some outsourcing from Black Dragon in China. In early, Tine quit working with Dracco. Later in the year, BRB and Screen 21 stopped working on the show, and disassociated with it in. B-Water Animation Studios and Guangzhou Huamai Animation Studios joined the production of the series much later, and worked to complete what the previous studios had left behind.

Filly Funtasia has went through five years prior to its release, and was delayed four times before it finally premiered in Italy. Some of the reasons why likely include Dracco Netherlands initiating legal action against Simba in Hong Kong on, and BRB suddenly ceasing production of the series on their part, and later declaring bankruptcy.

Two 75-minute specials of the show were announced at the MIPTV Media Market titled "Filly Stars" and "Filly Butterfly". Originally produced by BRB's 3D movie division, Apolo Films, no news has surfaced about the current state of the specials and whether they have been cancelled or not as of late. They were meant to be released before the show in order to explain the characters and the world, which explains why Filly Funtasia starts off with no proper introduction.
