Income Inequality Explained By My Little Pony Parody


                                                          Created by: Adam McKay

Do you want to know how income is established for each job in the USA? Then look no farther than the video above. This cute My Little Pony Parody (made funny with alpacas) was created by Adam McKay for the group We The Economy.

The six-minute video, which is voiced by Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, and Sarah Silverman, (the alpacas) learn that nothing is ever as it seems. Upon graduation from school, and taking a visit to the lollipop factory to receive their job assignments. The alpacas discover that the world isn't like the cuddly opening theme song they sing about of social mobility, fancy cars, and jewels!

Instead, the alpacas learn that government regulations, and quality of education seem to be the driving force of economy, more than people with loyalty and a hard work ethic.

As a bonus....
I also found on the interweb, images of the storyboard process, and even a shot of the alpacas in their animation program!







Happy Drawing!
