Very cool. I'm looking forward to checking it out on Netflix.
I'm afraid this film is going to do more harm than good. For one, if the Internet hasn't already turned the disabled into a running joke (see: Chris-chan), then this could really make people see them in a negative light.)
I'm not sure why this would be the case. The internet is, well, the internet, with or without bronies, and people on it will react to anything as they're going to (and not in any sort of uniform way). Also, I don't see any indication the documentary is focused on the disabled to begin with. There may be some disabled individuals in it, but they're not really what it's about, are they?
Also, would My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic be somewhat of a failure that should be quickly forgotten if the target audience (girls 3-12) doesn't or cannot get access to watch it (The Hub is an add-on channel and the target audience isn't the one with the money)?
I'm not sure what you're getting at here - are you saying the show would be a failure if people couldn't watch it? Well, obviously, but that's apparently not the case - The Hub has been going a couple years now, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is its highest rated production, drawing huge viewerships among both its original intended demographic of little girls in addition to the completely unexpected bonus of a large number of adult viewers of both sexes. It's by far the best-received TV iteration of a media property that, remember, has already been around in one form or another for about thirty years now, so it's not as though it's likely to just die anytime soon. I suspect that at this point, even if the channel The Hub were to fold for some reason, MLP:FiM would probably get picked up by some other channel and continue its run.
