Since this was a pony-related item, I thought I'd ask it here; does anyone remeber a short-lived pony-esque cartoon called 'Wildfire' that aired about the same time as 'My little Pony 'n Friends'? It was about A dying queen in a fantasy world, who gavbve her daughter to an intelligent talking horse named Wildfire for safekeeping. Wildfire brought the baby over to our world, and she was raised by a rancher as a cowgirl. She would go back to her homeworld on adventures by riding on Wildfire's back through a portal, and she would fight her evil aunt who was the reason she was sent over to our world in the first place.
I barely remeber watching this series when I was little, and back then I thought it was connected to MLP because of how Megan went over the rainbow to Ponyland in a similar manner. It ony ran for one season, but I really loved the cartoon. Does anybody else here remember it?

I remember it! I love it! I think my brother enjoyed it more, though, because for a long time when he was small he would only answer if you called him "Princess Sarah."
-
Awesome! I thought I was the only one. I loved how Wildfire's herd had a kind of culture all thier own, and how the adopted dad was actually the real dad. They were even building up another villian to replace the evil aunt. I wish it hadn't been canceled so quickly! :( I also wish WB would release it on DVD, because the only way you can see it now is with poor quality picute on the internet. >_<
-
Ohmygosh YES! I remember that show. I loved it! I haven't thought about it in years. I wanted Wildfire for myself! DVD's would be really awesome, 'cause I've forgotten everything about it except that it existed and I loved it. :P
ETA: I now have the theme song stuck in my head, so I guess I remember that too! :lol:
-
It.......It seems familiar..... But I can't seem to remember it.
-
I thought I was the only one who remembered this show! Haha! I remember getting up really early to watch it. I think it was the first cartonn of the CBS Saturday line-up for a while (like 8am or something). I could be wrong, childhood memories aren't always right :)
-
yeah, it was on CBS. I always wished that the series had gotten at least partial conclusion, and that there had been toys of Wildfire and Princess Sarah. Oh well... ):
-
Yes I do remember this show, I know I watched it. Brings back memories seeing that intro :) A pity they didn't have more episodes :(

Yeah I remember that I wished they made a toy of Wildfire, I ended up using one of my Breyers and pretending it was him, can't quite remember which one though :huh:
-
I keep seeing this thread title and thinking, "Game of Thrones? Oh, nope..."
I never heard of Wildfire before, but it sounds cute!
-
YES ! I remember that ! :D
-
Yes, I do ^.^
-
Ah, I don't remember this one, though there was another one in the early 90s that it reminded me of :)
-
I have the vaguest recollection of this show ... wow.
-
I remember it! ^_^ I think all the episodes are up on youtube, but unfortunately they're very poor quality, obviously from an old VHS tape. But at least the show still exists! ^_^
-
I totally remember this show. I can't remember particulars about the episodes... except the highwayman one?? But I do remember really enjoying watching it. I can still hum the theme tune from memory :P "Wildfire... Wildfire!!"
-
I remember this show, it was one of my favorites. The theme song always sounded so haunting.
-
I THINK I remember that show. It sounds familiar, but I don't think I ever watched it...
-
I loved that show! I remember that I tried to find some episodes a while back but they were all poor quality. I'd love it if it was released on DVD. :)

That is great! :lmao:
-
I so do not remember this show. I don't think I ever saw it, but then again my days were consumed with ninja turtles.

OMG, YES!!!! I freaking LOVED that show!!! Anyone who's curious, you have to at least watch the opening theme song. It sums up the story pretty well, and it's SO GOOD!! Definitely one of the best opening themes from the 80's cartoons. Here's a link to just the theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKk1RQL-dx8
Yes, it's a shame the show never really caught on. There were only 13 episodes; I don't think many people knew about it, but of the ones who remember, there are definitely some loyal fans.
Yes, all the episodes are posted on youtube. Yes, the quality is poor, but they're still sooooo worth watching! Only the pilot, "The Once and Future Queen," is kind of badly written, but the rest are good or great! Try these:
