Grand Pear

Grand Pear (Voiced by William Shatner) is an elderly Earth pony in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. He is a member of the Pear family, Pear Butter's father, and Applejack, Apple Bloom, and Big McIntosh's maternal grandfather. Grand Pear eventually announces his plans to move the Pear family out to Vanhoover to expand the family business and get away from the Apples. When he discovers that Pear Butter has secretly gotten married to Bright Mac, Grand Pear pressures his daughter to choose between being an Apple or being a Pear. Pear Butter chooses the former, and Grand Pear angrily leaves for Vanhoover without her. But, he moves back to Ponyville to get to know his granddaughters and grandson. And he and Granny Smith make amends.
