Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls

Official artwork featuring the cast.

*Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls* is a 2005-2016 multimedia franchise, originally a toy line and rejected cartoon pitch, created by Lauren Faust. It features a humanized version of the Milky Way, a teenage girl who loves to traverse the galaxy, featuring other girls representing each planet in the solar system.

The most recent there was any official word on the series was in November 2019, in a Twitter post where Lauren Faust briefly spoke about the series and confirmed that it was now a discontinued project. She additionally revealed the existence of a character named Super Nova, who had not been mentioned or even alluded to in official material prior.

On the About page of the now-defunct *MWGG* website, the series is described as being about how girls are much more unique beyond stereotypical interests of boys, clothes, and talking to friends. It then explains how the cast of *Galaxy Girls* is intended to represent unique personalities and traits, and then asks the readers "what planet [they are] from" (in reference to each Galaxy Girl representing a different aspect of the audience).

It's currently unknown what would have come from the cartoon series as media created for the cartoon has either gone unproduced or has not been published, outside of sparse promotional material.

### What Planet Are You From?

*What Planet Are You From?* is a book published by Lauren Faust. It comes with a doll one of five characters (Milky Way, Venus, Mars, Jupiter or Pluto).

### Meet Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls

*Meet Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls* is a second music video with the same music artist and animation studio. Unlike *Chibis in Space*, it only features the same five characters that were available in dolls.

### Dancin' to the Beat

The animated series was never created, but Lauren Faust intended to create Saturn's episode herself. The episode was named "Dancin' to the Beat", which featured Milky Way on her adventure through the Solar System to find all the fragments of Black Hole's cage. Asking for help from Saturn, she slammed different music tracks to get the aliens on her planet to dance in different shapes, clearing different sections of the dance floor off. The storyboard was released on 9 different parts, which all can be found here.
