it's called the willing suspension of disbelief. we suspend our judgment concerning the implausibility of a flying equine or a even the very concept of "magic," because the viewer has to ignore the reality that they are viewing a two-dimensional moving image on a screen and temporarily accept it as reality in order to be entertained (it's kid's show afterall). The creators don't need to be realistic necessarily, only believable and internally consistent for it to work ( which doesn't always work considering the animation errors)
