I go back and forth on this one. I think MLP actually does a pretty good job with the Cutie Mark Crusaders, by showing that finding out what you love *and* are good at takes effort and a willingness to try (and fail!) all kinds of new things.

I think it's hard to expose a 6yo (my example, because that's how old my kid is) to the hard facts of life. I don't think it's dream-crushing to show favorite characters failing or struggling more realistically, I guess, but I do think that exposure needs an optimistic ending, unless you want a country full of world-weary nine-year-olds.
