something that’s always made me sad in cartoons is when donkeys are made ugly, especially in cases such as mlp where the main characters are other equines that are drawn super cute.

 more than anything i don’t get why the mlp donkeys’ legs/hooves are drawn weirdly realistic compared to the horses and even the zebras (even though zebras are closer related to donkeys than to horses). also their potbellies irk me because if anything that’s a trait seen more distinctly in actual ponies and miniature horses imo..

basically i just think donkeys are more aesthetically pleasing and just as cute, if not cuter than most ponies and i think cartoonists treat them unfairly

my favourite donkeys i can think of rn are disney’s burrito and the pinocchio donkeys
