@Sailendra Widjaya there's this thing called chatroom reddit has them amino has them even YouTube has them you don't just go to people and be "Hey, let's be friends now give me your number"
@Sailendra Widjaya i dont think going to a youtube comment section is the best way to go about it. Try getting an amino app of a franchise you like. Do u like anime? Anime animo. Steven universe? Steven universe animo. Or same with discord. Just pick somethig you like and find a discord for it. That way not only are you finding people yo be friends with but people who have a similar interest
"You're a hypocrite, you don't even have friends!" Think about it: Celestia is thousands of years old. In season eight, it is revealed that Celly indeed had friends, it's just that she was too busy with her duties. Her friends likely passed away before she could even fathom that would happen. This cycle would eventually repeat until she had no one left except for Luna then what happens? She turns into Nightmare Moon and Celestia has to banish her. Yes, she did have friends but none of them lived as long as she hoped. She was the loneliest of all until Twilight came along and freed her sister. Celestia finally had someone to be with her. All if this led up to where the series is today.
Sorry for the essay lol. Also, I'll be ignoring any replies stating that I'm being too sympathetic towards Celestia since this is merely my interpretation of her story.
I don't think you are being too sympathetic towards Celestia at all, her longevity has it's major drawbacks. After a while she would give up on making friends when she knew the inevitable would come, and waiting the thousand years it took to finally free Luna took its toll. I am sure those years taught Celestia she had major faults that, yes she kept repeating, she tried her best to overcome. Honestly the fact she repented and did much better with Twilight, albeit taking a very hard backseat, is clear progress. Although some say she took too much of a backseat in many struggles the mane 6 would face, I believe she did the right thing. After all if someone does things for you, how do you learn or how do you grow?
both of these comments are so deep in so many levels... I LOVE IT. it's TRUE celestia outlived every person except for Luna that she cared for and gave up. at least, the way I see it. I've been writing a story with a friend using a version of equestria that uses these sort of things in the writing
Wow. This a great and accurate point. Imagine having friends but then they just keep dying and you're still alive, reminds me of most immortal plots. Really sad, poor Princess. ;-;
@Aliyah Sophia Viri yeah and now starlight is maybe gonna be a alicorn someday so that makes Celestia , luna , cadence , twilight , and starlight. the bad part about this is that shining armor isnt one and that is not right. SO THAT MAKES 6!!!!!!!!!
And don’t forget that At the time of nightmare moon’s banishment, the kingdom was weakened from discord’s reign. And it was even more now with the royal castle was destroyed. If you think about it, Celestia had to make equestria stronger herself for centuries. If anything if it wouldn’t be for her than We wouldn’t have Mlp today.
@Luna Rose another good way to put it... Celestia isn't perfect, of course not! No one can be perfect! I pity the Royal sisters. People judge them quite a lot.
Well actually Celestia's friend is Sunset Shimmer. But Sunset doesn't have to limit itself to just Celestia. She can meet other ponies. Expand your horizons and circle of friends. It was advice.
@The Lion Alex 1 That's why in First Equestria Girls movie Celestia said that Sunset is caling the paralel world "Home" She had to stay there long enough...
Anyone else think this is kind of weird to hear from Princess Celestia? She makes it sound like this an unspoken custom that needs to be obeyed with no questions.
@GlimGlam but the Tree of Harmony already knew Twilight was the chosen one. Her cutie mark is literally all over important figures. Heck, even her castle is covered with Twilight's mark
Sunset’s parents basically abandon her, then this happened? And to add insult to injury, Celestia’s next star pupil becomes the Princess Of Friendship? Geez, Sunset has a depressing backstory.
No she's Friends with twilight and see how That timeline was same with twilight Got her crowned stolen it means she had friends she's Friends with twilight and twilights friend

Wow, that definitely would explain the whole story of Sunset Shimmer, and how it all led to the first “My Little Pony: Equestria Girls” movie. That’s how Sunset turned cruel and dishonest, and why she decided to abandon her studies and pursue her own path, one that sadly led her to steal Twilight’s crown and use it to gain power to rule Equestria. Also, I think that Sunset did try to make some friends before, so that probably explains why she didn’t know the first thing about friendship, and why she drove everyone apart in the Canterlot High school alternate world
FBEAR05 Ik this comment is old, but I completely agree. I always thought they’d end equestria girls with sunset going back. Then have twilight be like celestial and sunset like Luna
The way celestia was admitting her flaws was heart wrenching; the ruler of Equestria showing vulnerability to her student demonstrates how she genuinely cares for Shimmer
This is even sadder once you think about how maybe the reason Princess Celestia watches over Twilight and guides her is because she feels she let down Sunset Shimmer and didn't want the same thing to happen to Twilight, so she watches over Twilight so she doesn't feel the hurt she did when Sunset and Luna left😢 it was also probably the reason she didn't banish Twilight from the library😭
It actually makes a lot of since now why Celestia wanted Twilight to write to her about things she’d learned about firendship. Twilight was teaching Celestia, as much as Clestia taught Twilight.
The water affect on the Portal is amazing, Sunset's voice is so similar to cannon, it's unreal, and the animation is amazing. You got one new subscriber. Ps: Sunset's my most favorite aside from Rainbow Dash, and Starlight is a close third
This, this is what I consider to be cannon, it is just a beautiful story, and it adds so much emotion to Sunset. If she wasn't already one of my favorites, this would instantly raise my opinion of her. I'll admit I haven't read any of the comics, but I don't care. This is canon in my mind.
Also makes me wonder just how beautiful a Gen 4 reboot would look in this engine.
To Sunset: "Until you make friends, you're banned from the library." To Twilight: "While you make friends, why not live in this library." At least we know who's Celestia's favorite.
cmm07r well from what others say, Sunset left for the human world shortly before Twilight got her cutie mark. Celestia didn’t want to make the same mistakes with Twilight as she did with Sunset.
Both Sunset and Celestia regret what happened. You can say Twilight felt guilty for how she handled the situation, explaining why she was excessively forgiving with Starlight.
Celestia must have realized that taking away something her student loved just to push her into making friends was wrong. She was trying to learn from her mistakes with twilight
@Chloe Wong I'm sorry I meant to say The Story line si real you can find it in my little pony book I'm sorry if I'm mean to you I was mad at somebody 😞🙏
True, but for some people it can be easy to be friends, but when many people don't want friends then how are you suppose to friend them or you try but they see you as a stepping stone, the person rather not have friends then be used.
The whole time I was like “HOW DOES ONE SMALL CHANNEL OF ONE PERSON ABLE TO MAKE THIS?? IS THERE A WHOLE TEAM BEHIND THIS ALL?? IF SO HOW ARE THEY PROFITING OFF OF IT THEN??” 💀
Celestia: you cant go to the library Sunset: is in the library. Celestia: you have disobeyed me! >:( -- Celestia: you must go alone twilight. Spike: follows Twilight Celestia: you have disobeyed me <:)
this really is visually stunning and i loved the comic it was based on. im glad to see that this concept of sunsets past has been brought to life, since we most likely will never get to see it fully explained.
I felt this animation did an amazing job at giving the story out as believable as possible. the music and visuals really brought it all together.
Outstanding work for the people who helped with this project
wow! I just had my mind blown with this. Love absolutely everything about it, no only the animation or the voices, but also the way this fits so well into the whole series.
This animation is really well done, the story of the fall of sunset shimmer is easy to understand and the deep emotions really shown well throughout the animation. Although there was some mistakes, this story animation deserves a round of applause!
@Abriana Andrews the fans made better material simply because there was still a lot to explore from the show. now, all that past has either been wrapped up from the fans, or the show. all we can really do now, is decide our own future for the remaining characters.
celestia not supposed to say I don’t know anything about friendship that celestial being dumb and out of character also sunset being rude too celesta she does said your are a hypocrite that being out of character
Lol but this is awesome more awesome than the movie that they made hasbro hasbro was pretty awesome but the ripples in the mirror in this animation was just awesome
Amazing! I love the somber tone, and how Celestia doesn't seem like she isn't at fault at all. She pushed for Sunset to make friends, and while she was joking at the part where she talks about sunset able to do magic but not this, it probably rlly hurt given Sunset was trying.
I wasn't a fan of this franchise (arguably still not), but when I saw this I took a deep dive into the show and for a series meant for kids (girls specifically) I am thoroughly impressed with the direction they took with the series and even more impressed with the fandom. Y'all are awesome.
Is it bad that I'm kinda happy someone called celestia out on asking her students to make friends when she herself doesn't have any & treating it like it's as easy as she says? I struggle with making friends and always have.
welll... Friendship is really important and the foundation of Equestria but I think Celestia handled it poorly in this story (I still think Sunset acted wrong tho)
@Christine I don't disagree that sunset was wrong for how she acted and that friendship is important even if it is just one friend but with how celestia is acting here? I'm sorry but she brought sunset's running away on herself

Well to be fair. It possible Celestia had some in the past.
Remember she's lived for a very long time. She probably doesn't have any currently, its hard as a possible immortal to continously make another friendship when you know that after a while the one you call friend die and you'll have to stand by their side for the entire time. Also Celestia does state that friendship isn't easy, it's possible she knows that from experience.
Luna was probably her first friend and we see how that turned out. The pain she felt of losing her sister made her not want to make new friends as she didn’t want to experience that pain all over again. Sounds a lot like Moondancer when Twilight left her. It’s not that we’ve never made any friends, it’s just the pain of losing them keeps us from wanting to make new ones.
Let's note something. Im not saying Celestia is totally innocent. She did admit she made a mistake and it seems that she's not going the same path to repeat herself. Like any mortal she'll make mistakes but from what I've seen she's always trying to fix them. Whether she succeeds or fails is another story. Besides nowadays Sunset knows what it's like to actually have friends and I'm sure by now she knows that Celestia was right.
Let me make this clear; I'm not asking her to be perfect. That's not fair. What I am asking is for her to sit sunset down and tell her that "magic and friendship share a common ground - if your motives are aimless or selfbased? Then it's no good to anyone. So to be a good friend? You must first get to know someone little by little. Just like with magic" then let sunset figure it out from there.
But she doesnt because shes worried to get attached. Think about it. Shes immortal, she could make friends, just to watch them grow old and die. That is depressing, and that is mind-breaking. Celestia is sad because all her friends died, and she doesnt want it to happen again.
1.) Perhaps Celestia wants every pony to experience something that she never got to experience herself. Being a princess and all, it’s hard for her to make true friends. Either it would be awkward treating a princess like a friend when in reality they are pretty high up there, or that most ponies would only like to be friends because a princess is royalty. But then again, maybe Celestia wasn’t always the god-like figure that we have seen in the show. Seeing how everyone bows down and basically worships her as a young filly, this might have given her a god complex, which pushed others away. Perhaps this is what led Luna to become Nightmare Moon. I’m aware that that is highly debatable, given the fact that this doesn’t add up to what the show said about Luna becoming Nightmare Moon, which was jealousy, but if you look back into the show, (please correct me if I’m wrong) it has always been Celestia that has said that Luna was jealous, Luna only expressed shear guilt and regret but never did say that she was jealous, (except in the dan made stuff but that doesn’t count,) could this be Celestia’s struggle with a god complex showing through? And could her god complex be part of the reason why Sunset Shimmer ran into the mirror? I don’t think that Celestia in and of herself is a bad person, she just might struggle with a god complex, perhaps she’s aware of this and tries her hardest to provide for equestria?? I don’t know, I’m sorry this is so long I write a lot. 😅
Celestia was in the wrong for pressuring Sunset into making friends, rather than encourage her. It's two completely different things. But I think the reason why Celestia did so was because friendship was something she never really had, or at least not for a very long time, and that was why Sunset's words stung so much. Celestia realized she was wrong and she shouldn't have pushed Sunset especially when it was making her unhappy. It's true that friends are nice to have, but it's not something that can be forced.
@YA PLAYA HATERS YOU SHOULD LOVE YOURSELF BRR Your comment struck me hard. Painfully. I believe everyone should have at least ONE close friend, preferably two or three. No man is an island, as the saying goes, and For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Ecclesiastes 4:10 http://goo.gl/kNQdzo
@Ming-Yao Pu sorry it hurt you, I know this is literally on a my little pony vid, and I do like my little pony, but some people prefer to be alone. I'd rather have friends even though I have social anxiety, but some people are just better alone.
She's immortal and for years shes only had her sister. If she were to make friends she would just lose them to age and be left alone grieving. Sure she's a hypocrite, but she has a reason.
Yeah it is kinda hard. But luckily I have a very good friend. I was once struggling with no friends or whatever, so I asked a girl how to make friends, and she was like all giggly and said, "Awwww just say helloooo!" I was like alright makes sense.
Same. I really struggle in making friends... Because I feel different from the others, and the door from my comfort zone is locked, struggling to find the key to step out of it. (HA! METAPHORS 4 LIFE.) I mean, I fit in well with my classmates, but to other students, it's hard.
That's something you realize when you view the series as an adult: Celestia seems like this great Pony on a superficial level, but when you actually look at her, she's incredibly flawed.
I recently got into mlp and the spin off, and really wound up liking Sunset's character a lot in the spin off. Granted her whole character made no sense in the first movie. This short however in essence brings Sunsets character together, and explains a lot when it came to her behavior, and sudden 180 at the end of the first m9vie. She was just a hurt, and confused teenager lashing out immaturely because she is just a teen. Especially lashing out at her successor Twilight because she felt rejected by her mentor, and then replaced, which had to hurt. Still she yearned for validation, which Twilight gave her hence making her 180 and vulnerability at the end of tha first movie much easier to swallow.
So amazing job characterizing Sunet so well before her first canonical appearance, wonderful animation, and this has become my head cannon for Sunset. LOL While she is just spin off character I really have grown to love her in the other movies she was in, and this just fixes a lot of the initial problems I had with her so conisely well. 😊
This is an absolutely beautiful piece of art. The animation, music, and design is spellbinding. It reminds me a little of those 90's 3d computer animation short films. Gave me nostalgia and a very mystical experience as someone who is an astral projectionist.
Replicating the entire castle of the movie on my own would have taken months to do with a single artist and with how little reference I could find of it in the movie and the concept art book, I would never have made something as accurate. I can't afford to push that much, not with a production with a budget smaller than an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I would have loved to, but I have my limits too.
+Zane I'm pretty sure those changes were deliberate, it flips the role so that Celestia is now the antagonist rather than Sunset Shimmer, and it frankly makes for a much better story even if it doesn't fit with Equestia Girls as well.
@Z H Maybe. Celestia at least seemed way more out of character in the comics. She decided to remove Sunset Shimmer from the position as her pupil just because she snook into the library at night to read about the portal since she was very curious about it. Sunset is slightly out of character in this animation but for me, she didn't seem arrogant enough. Here, she actually tried to make friends. Sunset in the comic didn't obey Celestia when being taught about humility.
the animations styles are different bruh. honestly the actual show was designed for little kids, 5 year olds, i’m pretty sure kids won’t find stuff like this entertaining especially because of the art style. i’m not saying all kids won’t like this but i think most children would prefer colorful animations and cartoon like features without depressing music playing in the background.
@ganondorfchampin That's why this feels so much better than what we got. I hated Sunset as a villain, she was the stereotypical alpha bitch that wanted to let everyone who was in charge and acted like a major brat for not getting what she wanted. I know that people say that she's changed, but I still can't accept that stupid 'past' making her an actual threat at the time. This also shows Celestia being a little antagonistic, which people call out of character, but considering they have completely flanderized her character later on, this adds more moral gray to her which I think fits a ruler.
The details in every scene are amazing! The lighting is superb. The only flaw in this video are the ponies. At some angles Celestia's neck looks thinned out. But overall I'm really blown away by this animation.
Wow this animation is beautiful! I wish they used this style for the mlp movie, and I love how it shows just how tragic of a character Celestia is. The voice acting and sound effects are also beautifully on sync ❤️❤️❤️love this so much!!!

I gotta say the animation is really BEAUTIFUL! It’s smooth and free flowing, the lighting is amazing. The story is really interesting as well! The only flaw I have with the animation however is they lack expression when played with the voice actor and dialogue. Yea I see expression on their faces and body but they’re not really that strong. You can HEAR how the ponies feel but you don’t SEE how they feel. Their actions with their emotions and dialogue feels a bit stiff and slow. Because of the lack of expression, I don’t really ‘feel’ the emotions given in this emotional story but I can hear the emotion. Again your animation is amazing and smooth, you just need to work on the visual expressions.
This is probably one of the best animations from the entire fandom. But it's good to say that there are some issues with some of the proportions and perspectives at some point during the animation. Nothing that can not be improved with more practice. Other than that, very well done! :D
Omg XD Can’t you just give a compliment without having to say all the mistakes? It is very difficult for you to give a compliment without having to prove your "great knowledge"?
@Romi The first thing in my comment is actually a compliment. I'm not providing any "great knowledge" as you call it...
It's called constructive feedback, you know? Something that I think he could want.
I love the final scene, It may look like an ordinary movie scene, but in that I could tell that celestia was a bit surprised to see the other choice she could have made when sunset went into the other side
The graphics,, the graphics holy shit. Absolutely incredible. The 3D part goes fluidly over to the whole 2D Style and 2D Animation. One of the most beautiful animated films I've ever seen. Amazing job. I'm absolutely stunned
I feel like Sunset was Celestia's daughter. Not in blood, but in all the other ways, she was the one who raised her, taught her, and watched her grow. And that is why it was so difficult for Celestia to do this. I'm sure she regrets it every day.
Wow this animation is beautiful! I wish they used this style for the mlp movie, and I love how it shows just how tragic of a character Celestia is. The voice acting and sound effects are also beautifully on sync ❤️❤️❤️love this so much!!!
I'd love to see animations of The Mane-iac returns, The Stage (how Katie Cook became an MLP comic artist), the second EQG story after The Fall of Sunset Shimmer in the MLP Annual 2013 and the MLP Annual 2021 story (The Two Kingdoms of Caninia)
Alan J well the animation for the characters are the same as they are in the show in that animation. Although the lighting and the terrain was completely different. Beautiful too, loved it. But this one is even more beautiful, even the music was amazing. Of course it’s not smooth, but it’s still absolutely gorgeous. Also the characters in this are awesome too.
@Harvester Commander The stills might've been more detailed and prettier, but the way it flowed made LFAP seem a bit morwe beautiful to me. Especially that action sequence between Celestia and Nightmare Moon. That was so awesome in terms of animation. Also, fluidity is part of animation.
honestly i find this staement really true. hasbro had limitations so the 3d did look pretty cheap, while this animation didnt have too many movements, more so pan throughs, which are a lot easier to animate. not to mention the background art was really detailed which helped give a blend to the models. where as the mlp movie had moreso flat coloring for the backgrounds so the ship looked very out of place.
The movie had more natural movements. This feels wonky sometimes and although the lighting is better on most places we need to consider this is 10 minutes while the movie is around 70.
I've gotta now admit that even for a My Little Pony animation, but this absolutely stunning and beautiful. I hope to make a wonderful animation like this with The Teen Gang. Great job.
I've always believed that sunset was meant to become the next princess she was being trained for it. However, when celestia presented her with the challenge of friendship it just didn't work out. I also enjoy how you wrote celestia, it's obvious that she's trying to get ahold of having a pupil. I wouldn't be surprised if the fallout with sunset made her rethink how she treats and punishes her students. Amazing animation, I remember waching minty root in the 2010s, thanks for inspiring a desire to animate in me <3
This is absolutely beautiful. Amazing. It's been a year since its release.. reliving my childhood. You are so talented. Never forget, small people like me cherish your hard work, and animations like these are forever in my heart. No matter how many views, likes, dislikes. There is always that one fan like me, who comes back and loves everything about your work.
Well... Celestia was like that with Sunset Shimmer

I only just realized how weird it is that Twilight never met Sunset, since she was Celestias student since she was a filly That means Sunset is much older than Twilight But unless she was wandering years prior, which is unlikely considering where the portal led, the school pictures show she was only there for four years. There’s no way Twilight was only four years away from Sunset as a filly right? Surely Twilight would’ve known about Celestias other “number one student” before Sunset ran if they were the same age no? I’m confused about the timeline Maybe I’m overthinking this Edit: actually it’s even more confusing in this animation considering Moondancer seems to be the same age as Sunset and we know Moondancer is the same age as Twilight but this is an animation, not canon lol
Anyway, great animation, beautiful effects, solid voices. 9/10, my only gripe with it being that the movements are a bit too slow sometimes
This is without a doubt one of the best MLP animations of all time. Right up there with Lullaby for a Princess. Beautiful animation, amazing vocal work and sound design, and just such a powerhouse of story telling. Everyone who worked on this deserves some kind of award it is that good.
"You dont even have friends" yeah... great people (or fictional characters) have problem with that, it's hard to find an equal , and if they aren't an equal then the chances of them "faking it " are extremely high.
This was so good! I cannot express how much i enjoyed this film. The animation was beautiful. I did want to see Celestia give Sunset the book, but other than that I loved it. I relate to Sunset in this film. Okay, that's me rambling.
I don't know what it is about MLP:FIM that makes me feel the magic of my childhood imagination again, but it does. It makes me feel like pretending again, like flying. Beautiful animations always bring the feeling back; it's exhilarating.
You know...i've never watched a single upside of this show in my life, so I am 100% able to verify this is awesome regardless of if you're a fan or not.
I might be able to draw something like this, but I could never animate something this amazing! Good job Minty! I know that I came really late, but I only became a fan a month ago because of the Best Pony Videos of November. Anyway, THIS IS GREAT 😊 👍🏼
This reflects so much to my life. My family says that I need to make friends and to try to make them. I never really could because it was always just so difficult to. So, I just resulted to my studies. When I finally did make some “ Friends “, I was so caught up in my studies that we eventually just drifted apart. With a few of them, things happened. Doing my studies are my best friend now. I’m always in the library because it’s so quiet and peaceful. I left a lot of things out, but that’s just a snippet of how my life with trying to make friends are
this was beautiful and makes you wonder how many friends did celestia actually have before meeting twilight and others. seems aside from what happen to luna banishments not spending enough time with sunset and learning true friendship another mistake that plagued her. Though I kind like it as shows even despite her power and years of wisdom that she is flawed.
Wow You could have just told this story with an animation as simple as the original show's but you went all overboard with this beautifull lighting the amazing magic-effect and just generally an amazing animation This is better than the actual movie
Damn this is amazing ! I love the story and the animations are sooo perfect ! This is so smooth, the 3D is incredible and the lights... Oh God I love so much all the light effects in this, this is just amazing ❤
I love the ending of this because not only is the whole thing in general in the "My Little Pony: The Movie" animation (definitely looks like it), but it's setting up the stage for Sunset's eventual defeat and redemption.
That's the way I wish mlp gen5 would look like: modern, but not breaking the vibes of other generations and the most popular one - gen4. SUCH A GREAT HIGH QUALITY ANIMATION. Great music. Just perfection. 👏
I loved this animation. The only thing is Sunset once said to the main 6 in the human world this, "Back when I was Princess Celestia's student, I learnt best by going out into the field and actually doing something. Studying ancient books is fine for some people but I like to solve magical mysteries by rolling up my sleeves and getting my hooves I mean hands dirty."
If what she said is true then I wouldn't think she was that bothered about the library and she wouldn't be studying up on the portal she would prefer to just go through it. But otherwise I loved the animation it looks really good.
The animation on this is absolutely stunning and congratulations, you opened up a new viewpoint for me. I never thought about Sunset going through heartache until now. I felt so bad for Sunset in this, it seems like Celestia expected something out of Sunset that isn't exactly easy for her. I'm sure Tia had friends in the past but does she have any at the time she did this to Sunset? She didn't even have her sister at that point in time. I think if she would have given Sunset the same level of support she gave Twilight, she could have became an Alicorn princess. Hell, chances are she gave Twilight the level of support she did so she wouldn't become just like Sunset.
And I think Celestia pushed friendship too hard. It's one thing to encourage a student to be more outgoing, but you can't force someone to make friends. Banning her from the library was too much. Heck, Celestia could've encouraged her to find a study buddy. That would've been a start. My best friend and I met in French class and studied together all the time.
In fact, Celestia is actually unreasonable in this version. In the comic, Sunset was arrogant and intentionally unfriendly, and outright disrespectful to Celestia while Celestia was actually patient with her and only snapped when Sunset kept pushing the issue. In this animation, Sunset is genuinely nice and it's Celestia who's trying to be forceful (you'd think for someone who preaches about friendship, Celestia would know it can't be forced). "Make friends" is an outrageous order. If you want to encourage someone to form friendships, you help them start small, not jump to banning them from their favorite place and chewing them out for having trouble with your silly order. Celestia's reasoning for the whole thing is also silly. "Good things for who?" Umm, Equestria? Maybe herself?
Guess I make it obvious I don't like Celestia here, huh? I still love the animation, but Celestia wasn't the best teacher here.
Yes, I think Celestia is Pushing it for sunset and should started it with a study buddy. But everyone has their own opinion and/or reasons. In Celestia case it's not wrong and the animation should of explain better to the comic then leave bits (Pun intended) and Peices behind. However I also disagree with the fact that celestia the banning her from the library is not right and is not wrong ethier.
Try to remember how everything was at the beginning of the series. Celestia also ordered Twilight to go make friends, as a response to her notice of an impending emergency of potentially catastrophic proportions (The return of Nightmare Moon). Now imagine rewinding that character development for Celestia another 4 years or so for Sunset. Celly's a nice pony, but she seems only capable of learning from direct experience through trial and error. Fortunately for her, she's an immortal alicorn and thus has all the time in the world and won't die from her mistakes. Unfortunately for all of the other ponies, she's also in charge of everything and their pillar and compass of morality.
It was stated in the description its LOOSELY based on the comic, Minty did her own twist of the tale. Maybe in the comic you can make it as the story was told via Celestia who believed Sunset wasn't trying, and this more in the eyes of Sunset who was frustrated with how stubborn her teacher was despite her efforts. Remember stories can be told vastly different based on who tells it. It gives good facet to canon Celestia though, it shows more that she's not perfect. it makes her more "human" that she makes mistakes, sometimes big ones, she grieves and worries over them and attempts to learn from them herself
I haven't read the comic that everyone's talking about. Link to purchase, please? Also, I can understand why Celestia would be so adamant that Sunset must make friends. In the EQG movie, Celestia states that Sunset was her star pupil before Twilight. Since that was the case, I would imagine that Celestia was hoping for Sunset to defeat Nightmare Moon.
Late to the party but in the last couple minutes, the music takes on a quality that reminds me of Akira Yamaoka's work with Silent Hill. Gives it an almost otherworldly feel to me, but that may just be association there. All around, fantastic work--I'm shocked I hadn't heard of this before today.
@{ Queen of Waifus } asocial is where you are not social. e.g. not wanting friends.
antisocial is "hostile to or disruptive of the established social order; marked by or engaging in behavior that violates accepted mores", as stated by google.
im not the best at explaining things, so i suggest maybe looking it up if you havent already
milk_tea 7 I’ve kinda dropped faking all together (cept forcing myself to do some things) a long time ago and now everyone has mixed opinions on me. I’m also not scared of anyone’s presence.. but just kinda annoyed sometimes. Every little unimportant thing triggers me lol.
You have to break down so many barriers and it also depends on your environment. I used to be like that too (it hurts me when Sunset can't even talk to other ponies), I changed and now I always try to befriend the one guy alone in the room.
@Lord Chaos Pony nope sorry, that's not quite right, they are not the same. Asocial person is someone who has problems socializing with other people most likely due to stress or social anxiety. Antisocial behaviour is a personality disorder, more commonly known as psychopathy. It's not being hostile to the environment which has wronged you, it's literally having a disregard to moral values and lacking a sense of empathy. Generally speaking.
I “left” the fandom over five years ago, but in the past few weeks I randomly started getting more interest in it again. One MLP vid led to another, and before I knew it my recommended was filled with pony content. It always comes back, just not when you expect it.
I still find this beautiful as hecc, the style is so satisfying~ Although my only real critic is that Celestia's VA feels too serious at a number of points...
I like to think she actually used to be like that and changed when she met Twilight, because she didn't want to make the same mistake she did with Sunset by being too severe and serious towards her student.
This animation is positively amazing,phenomenal,spectacular and absolutely tremendous Minty i love it, you and your crew did such a fantastic and outstanding job putting this beautiful masterpiece together, make no mistake about it, kudos to every single one of you.👏👏👍💖
this is amazing!! i love the animation, and the whole story is so good and it also explains something celestia said in the actual show ''I must admit twilight, i kept you in canterlot for far too long, i was just afraid that, you wouldn't need me anymore''
Wow. This is so good. The animation looks amazing. It is even better than the official show. I like the nice shading and lighting. It almost looks like CG. Sunset Shimmer is so beutiful in pony form. Here is is a nice chance to see that. I find Sunset Shimmer so relatable. In the first Equestria Girls she was a bully. Then after that she was deeply into the mane six human group of friends. I didn't relate to her then. However I relate to her in this video. This is similar to Twilight Sparkle and Moon Dancer. Twilight is the character of MLP that I relate to the most. Luster Dawn is a bit like this at the end of the series. These characters are nerds. They focus more on their studies. So they are not as social. I don't think it was right for Celestia to punish Sunset like that. If Sunset is struggling like this, she should go to see a doctor. If someone has sever difficulty socializing to the point that they can't function, then there may e something seriously wrong with them. So they should see a doctor and at least get looked at. I ended going to a doctor. I did get on a special program to help me. However it was delayed due to the quarantine.
If there was any proof the fandom would still be around and creating more things when the show ends this year, this is it. The quality is amazing. Some of the voice acting volume is a little loud though.
yeah the mixing volume on the voice didn't change much either, I would've liked to see some differences in volume when Sunset or Celestia were speaking
You know Sunset might actually have known Twilight's Canterlot friends, they were of similar age and she was in the city and she might have known Moondancer since they were both the research type, heck she might have even run into Twilight a few times and never even remembered. And this was beautifully animated and voiced and felt so real.
when you kind of think about it kind of feels like Celestial feel like a mom to Sunset and seen how unhappy Sunset was and her leaving just made it worse. Her sister is gone for Thousand Years now she lost someone who was like her own daughter
It's amazing! It's something like "Lullaby for a Princess". Fandom needs more of this stuff! It's definitely be in top 3 of fandom videos of the YEAR! Perfect job!
i just binged all 9 seasons in 2 weeks after i heard the show ended and im kinda destroyed , im never going to be the same again after that last episode so i came to watch some fan animations to ease my pain and idk man im kinda sadder now but thats fine 😃😃
You know why i love your animations so much? The backgrounds are absolutely stunning! And you are showing it in every way! There is no better 'equestria landscape material' than in your videos! Thats the best part i absolutely love it! And the music and the shaders, its so amazing! I love it! This athmosphere is soooo good and dark you are a master in this!
Some voice acting this could be improved and some proportions of the ponies... but thats the only points that you can improve.
I also agree that the voice actor of celestia can improve You can’t just go up to someone and say everything about their work is absolutely perfect and spot on. They need criticism to help them improve even more than they do now.
No se supone que Sunset y Twilight son más o menos de la misma edad? Celestia dijo en la película que ella inició sus estudios poco tiempo ANTES que Twilight. Aunque el Flashback está muy bonito y muy bien animado, tiene ese enorme hueco argumental
What the heck I haven’t paid attention to the mlp fandom for like 5 years and you guys are still making ridiculously well made animations like this how do you keep doing this
Alyssa Victoria Peña when the show was still new, we didn’t really know much about the Royal sisters. This allows us fans to really experiment and make our own theories.
Honestly, this puts in perspective of their backstory with each other better than I thought back then. Think about it, since Sunset is basically Celestia's first apprentice (unless there's anything canon that says otherwise), along with the fact that Celestia has had friends in the past that didn't live as long as her AND her sister being banished during this time, I take her forcing the order of making friends as a case of projecting.
She knows that loneliness isn't something she wants for Sunset, but being caught up in your own responsibilities can change how you act towards others over time. Later on, it does seem like she was getting more desperate when she did issue the order to Sunset as she did just talk with her before and tried to explain it as best she could. Obviously, that order backfired hard and she lost what she had left until Twilight came along.
And Sunset's line in the library... that's not wrong, but damn. That kinda implies that even when they are alone, Celestia wouldn't talk to her as Celestia, but as the princess. Never a friend or even a parent figure? Guess she might have been more stricter than we thought.
Celestia doesn't have close friends for fear of losing them, the only friend she's had by her side for all these years is the one who was trapped on the moon. This part was deep
Coming back to rewatch this, I know understand Sunset Shimmer a little better. When she couldn't have friendship, she decided to try to do or get something outrageous, like an army to take over Equestria, and for what? Obviously, she really just wanted to get some type of revenge on Princess Celestia for not teaching her the meaning or value of friendship. So, when she was defeated by Twilight and the girls, she basically that she thought that was how she could get friends, since she didn't know any other way. Celestia wasn't a bad teacher, she just didn't know hot to tell Sunset what to do in order to make friends, since she has none herself.
I won't be the first to admit it, but this is an absolutely gorgeous piece of work, pure eye candy to look at. The setting was done wonderfully as well as the animation itself, and it's obvious the work you spent on it. Though, that's not to say that it's flawless, of course. I felt like at certain points of the animation, certain moments felt off and almost jarring. This is sometimes partly due to the audio when listening with what's happening on screen, like the animation and the audio is having two different conversations. It's probably a nitpick of mine, however I couldn't help but notice it when watching it first time around.
Still, despite that, watching this was amazing, so thank you for making this.
When Celsitia gets mad at Sunset about being in the library I was so shocked mad and surprised because I had never seen that side of her before and Sunset had every right to be mad at Celsitia too but I still like this version of how Sunset left Equestria because it makes Celsitia seem less of the perfect princess we know and more of someone who makes mistakes
Geeze, why is Sunset so freaking relatable!? I was literally getting furious at Celestia and wanted to scream "IT'S NOT THAT EASY!" like.... dang.... I feel more sympathy for Sunset right now then I ever had before XD
This only reminds me of the open question. "Are Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer actually the 2 counterparts to each other?" When you think about it, as far as we know, neither has a counterpart in the human world. Assuming Sunset is actually a Pony originally? Everyone else who could be regarded as not just a background character seems to have a human and pony counterpart for most things. (obvious exceptions relating to specific stories which are hard to address in just 3 films and a couple of shorts.) But Starlight and Sunset are both major characters who don't seem to have human counterparts, which asks if they are the same relative person.
We know Starlight has a father, While Sunset has no established parents? It's possible their two human counterparts are just too far away, but given how major they are, it seems unlikely their human versions shouldn't have turned up by now. And when you consider that they both represent the 2 moments either side of twilight to head into the night. The only true flat is Sunset's name, Should really have been Sunlight Shimmer. People tend to forget there is a twilight both at the beginning and end of the day. and you get the first and last Starlight. You also get the first and last Sunlight, whereas Sunset only happens once. This might break the theory of them being the same person from 2 worlds, but certainly, there is enough circumstantial evidence to question it.
This, my friend, is absolutely beautiful! For a while the story didn't seem coherent, but in the end it felt complete anyways. MLP G4 (Movie) will live on with talented animators like you!
GOD DAMN! This is so well done! The animation is so cute and phenomenal, the voice actors did awesome jobs (especially Wubcake), etc. This I will say right now, is my favorite pony animation out there along side Lullaby for a Princess, make no doubt about it. This is a masterpiece Minty, your crew did a friggin amazing job, and I give kudos to every one of you. Much love to this <3 <3
"Your telling me that you can figure out the fundamentals of magic, but making a friend is too hard for you?" Ouch. That highkey hurts. Of course CELESTIA can say that... Ponies actually like her. But us introverted ponies have a way harder time with making friends.
Faust wanted some ideas from the fandom to have some sort of cameo or be canon in the past, however Hasbro explicitly wants all material not to be inspired or be tied to the fandom.
I loved a lot of things about this, but it felt so stiff. The music is gorgeous and the art style is cute, but inconsistent. Their poses seemed weird at times and the walking cycle could use some work, though I liked the sound effect of the hooves. The fact that you found such good voice actors is amazing! Though it sometimes felt a bit stiff and unrealistic, and their facial expressions (and body language) lacked emotion. I think in certain scenes, it would’ve been great if Celestia had her wings out but lowered, and then have her lift her wings a bit as she talked, so you could see the change in emotion. Celestia’s flying animation felt really stiff, too. But I loved the way we only saw Celestia’s shadow when she was talking to Sunset- large and intimidating, and gives the viewer a feeling of her power.
Overall, I loved this! The dark scenes look gorgeous and the glows are stunning. The voice actors were great and at times the animation was breathtaking. Amazing job!!
One of mine and my cousin's absolute favorite Tv shows is My Little Pony, and the movie, Equestria Girls, all four (Three?) especially. This is a great animation and should be in best animations on YouTube. This is great. This was written really, really good. ❤ I love it so much. I have nothing else to say. I'm speechless. This animation film blew me away.
i know this sounds demanding, but since you are such a great animator, how about considering creating an animation to the song "Harmony Ascendant" by ponyphonic, i know it takes great effort and maybe could even last a year, but it is absolutely no pressure haha, we could definitely wait haha,,, anyways i really love your content, keep up the good work!!! hehe
I would like to know one thing, did you create the animation only with Toom Harmony? Or did you improve it with the help of other programs? (I say this because in the credits I see others)
This plot is so much better than the comic's. I know that the creator said that this is based of the issue, but I honestly don't see that at all. For one thing, Celestia and Sunset's behaviors are completely different, as Tia antagonistic here than Sunset in the issue, which makes me feel sympathetic towards Sunset here rather than in the comic where she was the typical alpha bitch that demanded everything be owed to her. The video also shows Celestia's flawed in her teachings, she really doesn't know anything friendship either despite her attempts for Sunset. This makes her feel more like a real character, someone that is revered as a great monarch, but in reality still has major flaws, which is something the show completely lacks in it's characters!
So after Sunset told Celestia she had no friends, and her advice didn't work, she didn't want to make the same mistake with Twilight, and eventually learned about friendship from Twilights lessons
@T M I largely mean the backgrounds, level of detail, how "real" it feels, and the small motions characters make that brings them to life. I agree that some of the movements, especially Celestia flying, feel stiff, but I didn't want to be negative right off the bat and when I made this comment there weren't very many views yet. Also, for a single-person project, rather than the hundreds of people who worked on the MLP movie, the sheer quality and attention to detail here knocks it out of the park.
The backgrounds and special effects look good, but the animation is lacking alot. A huge part of it is just stretching stuff and barely animating anything. The proportions change time to time and the angles are constantly reused and simply flat. Theres not much actual animation in the video. It's just visually polished with good effects and backgrounds.
Es oficial??? Si es animación propia, te quedo increíblemente perfecto, incluso me hiciste recordar las caricaturas de los 90s cuando eran mas oscuras,
Fake friends can be easy to make But real friends or right time right place or obtained Loyalty and trust
Making real friends isn’t always as easy as laughing and holding a conversation. Just think about Twilight she met all her friends by accident (right time right place) In Sunset’s case sometimes you have to be in a real bad place and the people who bring you out of that bad place can become your life long friends (obtaining loyalty and trust)
@Hannah Papernick-Yudin There's a problem with your advice. If you aren't social, it means you have a problem with that. Now, guess what, people have no interest in getting involved in anyone else's problems. When you are someone's friend, sorting someone's shit out becomes your responsibility too. This is why people like Moondancer hate the idea of getting friendly, they know exactly how much crap everyone gives about them.
I no joke had a dream about this, except Sunset had a squeaky voice, pigtails and was way happier, and instead of the portal (Almost wrote mirror of Erised oops XD) there was just a bunch of magical artifacts. Sunset asked Celestia "Why don't you use any of these?" and that was that. Weird dream
I know how Sunset feels because I didn't have any friends in nursery school and she does have a point because instead of helping Luna, Celestia made her angry and jealous and that lead to the creation of Nightmare Moon
the sound effects are sometimes out of sync with the animation or feels like they're out of place (especially at the beginning) or are missing all together as with most of the film and the voice acting also needs some work as it at times doesn't match with the character's movements. One of the animation's greatest strength is it's lighting which is undoubtedly beautiful with the 3D models which is also beautifully made and can serve to hide imperfections in the actual 2D animation with all the sharp and harsh lighting, the actual 2D animation itself has quite a lot of flaws with the characters not fitting in with the 3D environment and not matching with the perspective of the camera but the lighting mostly hides that, the characters movements don't always match with the 3D environment either and can stick out like a sore thumb. The film makes heavy use of it's strength to hide it's weaknesses or at least make them less noticeable, it's certainly not professional and has a lot of flaws but it's not bad, kinda surpassed my expectations actually
Two plot points. 1: Luna was banished long time before Sunset became Student. 2: Sunset's motivation to leave was her realization that Celestia was grooming her to eventually take her place.
I'd keep my eye on phasing and duration of the clips. This is like watching mlp in slow mode. Effects and coloring is good tho. Also the designs of the characters.
i dont know why, but the dripping sound when the mirror's surface is used... oddly fits, or i just miss StarGate and wish someone would actually make a great furture version of it
speaking of Sunset Shimmer an NCS Song Refered to As Shimmer is by Audioscribe however this event is never mentioned in the Equestria Girls Movie Nor this video so it is unknown if these two Shimmer's Sunset's last name and the NCS song name are one and the same.
This is amazing but seriously would anyone be so kind to give some names of the Songs used? they are so incredibly well going with everything in this true art. I went to the channels of the musicians but i fsil to actually find the songs. Thank yu.
And please keep up the good work, this is so unbelievingly amazing.
It would interesting to consider that perhaps Celestia and Luna maybe meant for Sunset and Twilight to rule together instead of just Twi when they retired.
in this video that invariable mystery and mystery of Equestria was preserved, I received such feelings only after watching my little pony friendship is magic
This animation is what i expected from the My Little Pony movie, How did you pull it off so much better then hasbro. D: Now can you adapt King Sombra's story from the comics to a animation <3
@King_Fisher She can't make Equestria love her sister against their will. Just like she can't tell others to make friends and have friends. Cant force true friendship.
@Texting Stories of Miraculous Ladybug But Sunset is also wrong. Celestia has been a live for long time and many of her friends have already passed. Twilight and the mane 6 i would say are her friends, I would say she is friends with her sister but it looked like Luna was still on the moon. But she still had a sisterly love for her?
I feel the scripts are kinda weak? She says that line twice without Celestia even registering it the first time. Wheres the "teaching" part of Celestia? Where she explains why its important to learn social skills, she just says "it makes people happy" Like- Why?? That doesn't explain anything. She doesn't explain why it makes people happy or how its necessary in anyway towards mental health or explain anything about personal balance or choose someone in class to go hang out with who she knows has an abundance of these skills and could teach her these skills.
@Candy doggo About a scripting part? You know how hard for people to make better script? Even the famous movies the lines, script, story are not really good/not good. Usually repeated, same ol same, chessy, lame, predicted, you name it. There is a better script, stories in movie/animation, but only few or couple, is like 1-5% of total movies/animations. And not everybody can make the best stories, script, etc okay? You can say that because you never make a small movie. Even the simplest, easiet one. I had it before (script for simple animation not for voice actor/the one who people who read the lines... is more of a storyboard and I can't be like them, I CAN'T!) and it's fucking difficult!
@Leafeon Fusion Well for me is: she sneakingly reading about a portal notes that is very confidential and/or very secret. If it's then I can understand. Is like reading someone's bank envelope.
Honestly this could have been given an easy backstory. Maybe Celestia wanted her to make friends due to the Luna prophecy, and she knows magic from comrades/friends is the strongest form that there is (harmony magic), so she was forcing Sunset to make friends and fulfill it. She didn't want to tell Sunset this so she just made something up to tell her so she wouldn't have to answer it, because Celestia had an ulterior motive and it would make Sunset look down on her. When Sunset rebelled against her, Celestia couldn't forgive herself so she never forced Twilight to make any friends but instead nudged her in the right direction and suggested it. She learned her mistakes and instead tried to act more friendly and nice towards Twilight to help her understand friendship better and never forces her ideas of what friendship is, because she wants Twilight to figure it out.
Wow what a wonderful film and wonderful quality as well also this is my first time I just found your channel can’t wait to see what else is on this very channel!
Well i think that Princess Celestia made a lot of mistake in his life starting with the banishment of his sister Luna and then the betrayal of Sunset Simmer and many and many more.
Everytime Celestia raises the moon while Luna (Nightmare Moon) was inside hits me in the feels Really Great Animation, I hope the reactors of the MLP FiM Will Blind React to this
Nice animation but you forgot that in the comic Sunset didn't WANTED to make friends. She thought herself better than everypony else and only wanted to be the best. She didn't even tried to act nice towards them, she was just rude.
Sunset Shimmer is my favorite. Both pony and Equestria Girl. The list of reasons why goes on forever but mainly because she’s proof we can all change for the better
Absolutely stunning. Not only is the animation gorgeous but Sunset Shimmer is one of my favorite ponies. I definitely think she needed more screen time, and I loved every moment. :)
This comment is more than a little late. But i am going to say it anyway. First off brilliant animation. The only thing i have to say that isn't really a critic is the mouths. The animation of the mouths moving as the ponies talk could better. More often than not when i see this type of stuff it is usually because it is very hard to animated and O-shaped mouth to sound out any words that require that type of animation. When i saw this you did do a type of O-shaped mouth but it was mostly just the bottom part of the mouth opening and closing to match the words. Second off the story was amazing. coming from a person who has already seen sunset's backstory from Hasbro if i hadn't seen this i would have accepted it as a form of fanfic canonicity until you were proven otherwise. so far though knowing what i know you were not far off the mark. Some things were correct and some were wrong. However a lot of what was shown is in the grey area where it could be canon or it could not. Otherwise it is a brilliant animation I believe i will be watching your other works and may or may not critic them to so don't hate on me. i do to draw your attention to what can be fixed and worked on in the future. Think of them as heavy suggestions.
Holy sweet Celestia!!! I loved this! The animated film based on a comic to Sunset Shimmer's origin gave me a lot of tears!!! Well done for working this, it was really worth watching this! 😥😢😘💜
exactly. Sometimes making friends just isn't your first priority in life. friendship is a great thing, but it isn't everything :I saying friendship is everything really punches people who have a really hard time making friends in the face..
@Navy Rajyn Well, I'm 19 years old and she's let me grow my own wings and make my own decisions. We still talk every once in a while over the internet, and everything's been good so far.
It might be too early to tell, but I think we're on a better track now.
One thing that makes me kinda sad is that twilight was basicly there to fix the mistakes celestia made. It shown celestia the she could be a ruler but still. I feel as though she mainly had twilight to make a friend and fix her mistakes. Also, to take over one day. It's kinda sad
that was good it almost looked like the movie style itself so it's like a fan made thing of how sunset shimmer became evil I might do a reaction video to this one day maybe.
That was amazing Minty Root! I was dazzled when I saw this video. Your efficiency of animation and visual effects are getting better than ever. I love to see more again.
Tbh you gotta think abt it- Celestia banished her sister She probs doesn’t have parents She is the most wanted pony EVER She rules over a whole kingdom … It was quite convenient that twilight came cause you can see tia put others before herself and was tired.. She’s immortal no pony can live that long except alicorns and stuff And then this just makes it deeply sad
@Minty Root That animation, those expressions. Truly a well polished and lovingly crafted work. Everyone involved should be proud. This is why I love this fandom. <3
The lighting, settings, and magic were spectacular while the giraffe necked Celestia and Sunset Shimmer walk to nowhere look like a child drew them and so the character animation and setting just doesn’t mix well. I wanted the characters to go away so I could just look at the backgrounds. The script was poor as well. While the voice actors weren’t awful I felt like everyone was portrayed as really childish and the ending made little sense
The animation is amazing, but the sound of the hoofsteps is really annoying. It very clearly doesn't match up with their actual steps at all, except in a few select areas.
This might be one of the best mlp fan films I've seen in my life IMO. Even though it's inspired by the Fall of Sunset Shimmer by IDW It should instead be evaluated as it's own thing instead of an adaptation. The use of 2D and 3D animation is smooth and perfect. And the use of shadows and dark colors is used perfectly. It almost rivals the MLP movie. But what I love more is the tone. It's very melancholic. It's interesting to know that while in the comic Sunset came off as selfish in this film she came kind of sympathetic. Very good fan film.
Ah man how I've missed these MLP fan projects ^_^. I loved the story in the comic but wondered why the main series never really covered it. So nice to see someone give it life and movement. Till quite beautiful too, all that hard work really shows. Good job to everyone involved!
Celestia cometio dos errores al hacer lo que creia correcto Perdio a su alumna y desterro a su hermana Obviamente no cometeria el mismo error con twilight
Oh..My..Sweet..Celestia THIS WAS SO AMAZING!! NEW SUBSCRIBER I WANNA SEE MORE YOUR SO GOOD AT ANIMATING AND LIKE, THE SPECIAL EFFECTS, THE EMOTION, JUST..EVERYTHIGN WAS SOO COOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is actually better than thw actual movies, like seriously. SO COOL!!
This was an absolutely amazing animation! I've been waiting for this ever since its first teaser and now that it's out, that wait was completely worth it. Incredible job, Minty Root! 10 outta fucking 10!
Omg this was soooo good!!! You should be the designer for the animation of the next mlp movie!!

I can't believe this is made by fans.... The animation is much better than the original, I'm literally shocked, the details are so beautiful and realistic, seriously, I can't describe how impressed I am, it's an amazing job, you're awesome!! And of course I can't help but say about the plot, I really like your idea and the way you showed the conflict between Celestia and Sunset. It's such a heavy and emotional film, and I love it.
I really liked the part where she tries to bribe Moondancer for friendship, really shows how she gets the high school to follow her in a reverse foreshadowing kind of way.
@Navy Rajyn she wasn't herself because from this part of the timeline, Luna is still on the moon. Twilight didn't "Friendship" her yet. Celestia is still stressed out having to work a graveyard shift with no rest

@FBEAR05 I'm not sure what you're saying here. What does twilight "friendshipping" Luna have to do with Celestia basically telling Sunset that her magic has no purpose without friends?
@Navy Rajynmy guess is She wanted to make her the Element of Magic. She must've forgotten about the tree of harmony because the Elements fell dormant after Celestia used them to banish Luna. The Tree probably already knew Twilight was the chosen one and Celestia had no clue cause she forgot about the tree.
@FBEAR05 correct me if I'm wrong but that sounds like Celestia wanted Sunset to have friends just so that she can get her sister back AKA turning Sunset into a means to an end
@Navy Rajyn pretty much. If you watch the pilot episode of FIM, the reference guide said "The Elements of Harmony, Located in the Castle of The Two Sisters are the only things that can defeat Nightmare Moon."
Wey noooooo me hiciste llorar en si la animación la considero bastante buena casi exacta a la de la serie digo casi por que en ciertas ocasiones he sentido que la animación fue hecha con animación en símbolos si eso es asi se ve que se ha hecho un gran esfuerzo, igual buen trabajo
this is absolutely gorgeous <33 i really didn't expect such quality with such a short amount of time to finish things!! May I just say how lovely the lighting is as well? the scenery and backgrounds were also really well done, as well as the voice acting!
They should use this type of animating for G5, I might actually pay attention to the show + hopefully they have this calm shading. It's so satisfying and doesn't burn my eyes.
Celestia probably had friends but out lived them. She only had Luna but then she was banished to the moon! Oh wait...that would probably happen to Twilight too...
Maybe Celestia thought Sunset and Twilight at the same time? And they never crossed paths until after Sunset quit. And maybe they were both fillies at the same time, I mean you said that Celestia said “She BEGAN her studies not long before Twilight did.” Problem solved.
Sunset began her studies as a filly A few months, which is clearly not long, Twilight got her cutie mark as a filly Sunset went to the other dimension a few days after that, I guess and ruled it, and a few years she comes back to steal the crown
But if sunset was a teenager (I think) that means she is older than Twilight because celestia said that she started her studies not long before Twilight Confused screaming
My theory is that Sunset started her studies a few years before Twailait (Celestia has been ruling Equestria for a 1111 years, I don't really know what she means by "not long before"). Celestia thought Sunset would be the one freeing her sister from the Moon, Sun (set) liberating Moon makes sense for me. But then, she saw a powerful pony get her Cutie Mark as part of a prophecy (Twailait) and she'd doubt about Sunset. That's why she urged her to prove she could make friends and at the same time teach Twailait, but since Sunset runs away she realizes she has been to harsh on poor Sunset and changes her ways of teaching. Sorry for the long text :)
That was..... whoa. It was so inspired, so awesome that I want to ask more from the creators of MLP to do soemthing similar to this... Tell us the story of Sunset Shimmer.
Your animations never cease to amaze me, even if I haven't spoken to you in awhile. I can't believe how long you've been working on this, and it paid off insanely. The unique style, all the wonderful scenery, how the 3D and 2D just mesh together- oh god I love it ALL. You did an amazing job Minty. I'm super proud of you.
Oh My Goddess! Minty this was simply "Epic"! >_< The beautiful animation, score and acting were so powerful. The portrayals by Anne Chloe M and Wubcake's left me speechless and moved to tears they were so well done. I love how you wove a story that seamlessly joints the IDW comic with the FIM/MLP show cannon. Though seeing both version of Moon Dancer sitting side-by-side in the field was a little bit odd, but nice. Bravo dear Minty, bravo beloved friend. ^_^
Anybody ever thought that maybe she wants her students so desperately to make friends because she doesn't want that they have to suffer from the same loneliness she did?
Well one of the few animations I really watched the credits off, because how awesome the whole thing is. Thank you and your team for making it! :)
The story is awesome, the backgrounds and eyes of the ponies are very nicely and atmospheric done, also the music fits for the scenes and supports the atmosphere. Well done!
Only little thing I would like to point out is the way tails are contected to the ponies like at 6:54 when Celestia stood on the balcony or her leg animations while she flies over, that could have made a little bit better I assume. Still, great job!
When you think about it Celestia is really bad at keeping relationships, like she sent her sister to the moon, she let sunset shimmer down, I'm sure the only reason Twilight seemed like her favourite is because THEN she had experience
did you forget that celestia literally had no choice but to send Luna to the moon? if she let nightmare moon remain, equestria would've suffered under eternal night.
Hi this is really great and I've tried both of those channels that you left in the description for the songs but I cannot find the song could you please tell me the name of the song you used at 8:31
Considering that Luna and celestia retired I think that sunset was going to be the next princess of the sun but when she left she had no successor with such a specific magic so she and Luna ended up needing to put there magic in a artifact for twilight to use I think this is why equestria fell as seen in gen 5 there was no successor immortality doesn’t meen you can do things forever.
"You're a hypocrite! You don't even have friends!" ME: Fuck yeah, Sunset! Great job! 10/10, Shut up and Take my Money! Jesus Christ! Ha! Got it! Boom, bitch! Get out of the way! Captain America approves the references.
I'll never regret subscribing to you because you make some the best animations in MLP fandom. You really do you show the creative side of this fandom.🎉❤️
...Now, I wanna see what would your vision be, when Luna becomes Nightmare Moon and how she and Celestia repair their relationship, when Twilight and her friends restored her from Nightmare Moon.
Wow... This is so gorgeous, never seen a long animation so well done, with 3D effects, in the fandom, your style is so cute and beautiful at the same time, Really really impressive !! All those expressions, the voices are really well done too, this is a big projects and really worth, Omc really well done again !! :o /)
Its from 7th element ..you'll find the song there but 7th element is just recently uploading the songs used in this video so the song that your looking for will be uploaded in the near future..(im also waiting for this song too)
Very good fan-projekt. But something is bothering me. Why has Twilight (At 0:50) already the Crown? If it is the scene from the Movie then why does sunset apear with out the Crown when Celestia walks from Twilight to the Mirror? Or is it just a Flashback by Celestia?
LINDA PLAYS YT Spoiler alert in this Comment. Now if you watched the 1st Equestria Girls then Equestria Girls Forgotten Friendships were Sunset Returns to Equestria and reunites with Celestia. You would understand it better. Sunset Desires Power in Equestria Girls 1st movie then overtime she learned the Magic of Friendship. However when Sunset and Celestia meat in Equestria pony world, they have a special Moment of Forgiveness.
@Conut Gnuz I think she dose but she can't because you know she is a full time princess almost anyone would be scared too and well she doesn't have time
Artsplative She has to prove that she could to Sunset before Celestia forces her to do something Sunset struggles in doing Basically set an example for Sunset for something as important as friendship
At that point, since Celestia is doing fine being too busy to maintain friendships, Sunset has a point on not needing them. The point is if friendship is so important, why would someone of great influence not have any, at least as Sunset figured, yet reprimand her for the same thing of not having friends? Is being a princess with responsibilities enough to excuse you from friendship?
Well actually I feel sunset has to be sad and angry Celestia was more harsh to her but she was so kind to twilight Celestia even didn't try to go to throw the mirror and at least ask her to come back (but she will probably do that for twilight)
The set pieces are gorgeous; it felt like I was looking at environments from the movie. Though if I interpret canon correctly, Celestia was a hardass during the Sunset student years.
Mlai00 Oh look, you definitely didn’t read the comic that’s much more canon than this animation because she didn’t banish her from Equestria, only the castle. That’s fucking fair considering she basically told Celestia she wanted power in a selfish way and literally insulted ponies who congratulated her. This is all Sunset’s fault. I have no clue how you could even say that canon made Celestia a hardass about this situation because I personally can’t remember it being described in detail past Celestia recapping it at the beginning of the first movie.
Mlai00 She didn’t “break the rules”, she was a literal threat to Celestia and the students. She chose not to befriend anyone, that’s literally all she had to do and she failed. And then she BROKE INTO THE DARK MAGIC LIBRARY. That’s probably breaking a LAW.
Mlai00 I’m... not even an IDW comic fanboy, I just know what the truth is and you know what I can’t stand? People who blatantly hate Celestia when she actually didn’t do any wrong. That’s what’s worse.
@AlzMarioWolfe Canon = The cartoons, including Equestria Girls. Non-canon = All fan works, and the IDW comics. And knowing canon implied she was different in those years does not make me dislike Celestia.
Mlai00 You still said she was a hardass in those years in canon. And if anyone’s going to comfort the actual situation until the show does, it would be the comics.
Or a Movie in which Sunset Shimmer is not betraying Princess Celestia, so she becomes her first protege. So when Twilight Sparkle comes to Celestia's magic school, Sunset is the one who is the student mentor of Twilight.
Next, please make animated other stories based on other comics like Nightmare Rarity and My Little Pony: The Movie prequels? But with different storylines and be careful changing the storyline so Please.🙏🙏🙏
I absolutely LOVE the way you mixed Animation with that beautiful cartoon art style of yours. Good Lordy the eyes on all the ponies are so hecking pretty and I love it. And I love the way you put emotion on their faces even though they’re Horses/unicorns/Pegasi/ Alicorns.
Ahhh good heck your art is just so pretty and I love it. Also the pacing of the story and the way you did the voice acting and just ahhhhh...I love everything about this movie okay?!
I get what sunset was saying but still its because calestia is a princess her royal duty's take up most of her time, sunset did try but it just didn't click in her head, sunset always thought magic was the only way to be respected, celestial learned about friendship through twlights letters a while after sunset left, after Luna returned celestia had her sister back but was still to busy to spend time with her, twilighy becoming a alicorn helped celestia see what she was doing that's why she handed over the kingdom to twilight when her and Luna retired so Luna and her could spend time like a family.
The rigs for The Fall of Sunset Shimmer were actually built from scratch using the art book of the movie as a reference. The actual technique is somewhat different from the one used by the movie. https://youtu.be/9oxZlIiG5kE As for the voices, Wubcake and Anna just happened to be really that close to the original voices. The main reason I even started the project was because Wubcake wanted to see an adaptation of the comic to the big screen.
I think the reason why Celestia has no friends is because she is a princess and that everyone/pony sees her higher than them and they treat her like that.
Twilight is an alicorn but her friends will age and sooner they'll die because they are getting older while Twilight isn't. It's just sad that Twilight would see her friends age while she doesn't... :'((((
She is right ! Lelestia dont have frinds ! Even twilight see her as a mother figur and teacher ! The frindship she has is littlerey a student teacher on ! Celestias only frind is on the moon as this point !
8:07 Oh hey I know that tune, that piano. It's from Seventh Element's Fallout Equestria album. The track is called Twilight Sparkle. The second track on the album. What a coincidence, I was just listening to that album on my way home from work today.
Celestia:do some friends to be happy Sunset:magic makes me happy Celestia:but why do you do magic? I mean wtf sunset already told her why because it makes her happy ofc lol Amazing animation and art in this video i really enjoyed it Keept it up with the amazing work
@shiny sableye I'd probably treat the comics as what I think is called Level 2 Canon, where you treat them as canon unless something comes and contradicts something in them.
This is a much better backstory than the one in the comic. I actually feel for Sunset here than in the comic, and I like that Celestia is antagonistic here, which adds a bit more layers to her character, knowing that she banished Luna, and having to deal with stress from ruling alone kinda would make her like this. It actually shows her flaws better than how the comic did. The comic, she really didn't face any internal struggles in her anger towards Sunset for being a greedy arrogant little bitch. This is a way better depiction of their fallout than what Hasbro did in the movie and comic.
@Sonicfan 240 sadly in mlp world you can be only fully good, fully evil or being discord. Only think you can do to go from 100% evil to 100% good with is sad.
To me Salestia wanted Sunset Shimmer to make REAL friends because Salestia was going to make her a princess but other ponys would try and be her friend but there not REAL friends because they are only one because she is a princess.
If you want to do an alternate Nightmare Moon story, try one where she was on the Moon for 1000 years, plenty of things to talk about there that the Fans have touched upon: Shadows of The Lunar Republic : where she used her powers to create the Lunar Ponies 900 years before the events of the series and be loved like she wanted to back in Equestria, only for them to be wiped out just 19 years before the first episode when the Vashta Nerada arrived and began to devoured everyone of her subjects until only one Lunar Pony was left: Viva, the Last of the Lunar Ponies. To spare her life, Luna offered herself up to the endless hunger of the Vahsta Nerada for 19 years until she escaped... driven completely insane by the process of having her flesh and muscle continuously being stripped away only to instantly regenerate again: reverting her back into Nightmare Moon...
My Night Will Last Forever... : A tragic tale of love and loss as it turns out Nightmare Moon wasn't the Only Alicorn that was sent to the moon, Luna was pregnant and was about to have her foal when she became Nightmare Moon...
The Moon and Her Star : Nightmare Moon is alone and wishes to have a daughter to share her kingdom on the moon with. Twilight is alone and wishes to have a mother that will love her. What happens when their wishes are granted?
Absolutely subliminal Incredibly gorgeous wow I love how you treated the backgrounds and the lighting and how the animatiom really ressembles that of the Mlp movie!!!! amazing job :3
edit: forgot to rant about how good the voice acting is. WOW!!!
Yeah sunset shimmer is not like twilight she can't make friends ☹☹☹ I'm think sunset is more better than twilight😍😍 Celestia is get to hard to sunset ☹☹ I'm hate twilight sparkle 🤬
@♡{ŤÂŘÂ Channel}♡ Shut up. Celestia didn't want to make the same mistake she did with Sunset, so she tried to be less hard on Twilight, anyway Sunset and Celestia met again in an Equestria Girls episode.
@Skittlez Shut up. Celestia didn't want to make the same mistake she did with Sunset, so she tried to be less hard on Twilight, anyway Sunset and Celestia met again in an Equestria Girls episode.
Ooooooohh I finally understand why celestia was looking to the mirror. She was thinking in her aventure with the alternative sombra. If is not then i don't know
How is sunset still there and not evil yet if we see twilight and spike at 0:52? And besides they've never met before until the moment sunset was caught stealing twilight's crown
8:49 I was wondering if you could help me I've looked in both the channels for the song that you used this part but I could not find it could you please give me the link to the song
but maybe she got frustrated and felt like she wasn’t doing good enough with the advice she gave her so she let her anger out on sunset although it’s not necessarily her fault
Beautifully produced - obviously a lot of hard work for a labor of love. Well done. That said, I did not like the story - it failed to establish a credible motivation for defying Celestia let alone risking all in a leap of faith through the mirror - what was Sunset running from and what was she hoping to achieve? Further more, it places far too great a focus on the [alleged] responsibility of Celestia instead of bringing into sharp resolution Sunset's own faults and ultimate culpability for her own downfall.
It’s kind of like a backstory of what happened between sunset and Celestia, this is pretty much Celestia remembering what happened between her and sunset as she looked in the mirror it brought those memories back. sorry if this doesn’t make any sense I’m tired
Omg I have no words to explain what this animation is its just, wow great job I also like of how you used 3D models and some 2D ones it really fits in well
NOW IS GIVES ME A MORE INFO ABOUT SUNSET SHIMMER!! IS AWSOME!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!! AT WHY SHE WAS SOO MEAN IT WAS HARD FOR HER TO Make friends? but making friends is not hard as it looks you just need there trust.
I was just thinking about sunset and twilight and everybody then I realized, wait so celastea ( sorry I don't know how to spell ) is the princess of day, Luna is night, imbetween those are sunset and twilight.......OOOOO😳😃I get it now!!!
Honestly I love what you did Its freaking amazing Animation and i love the details on the animations its feels your really watching MLP FIM and part from MLP EG :)
But actually i confused about Sunset Shimmer Cutie Mark was. Beacuse, Celestia got the cutie mark by raise the sun. Like Fluttershy say in (Horse play). Fluttershy: Next, the student name Celestia. Discover she have power to raise the sun herself. Without draining her magic. That was Fluttershy was saying. And if that was happen, how Sunset Shimmer can get her Cutie Mark anyway? We all see that Sunset cannot Raise the Sunset. But, we all see in human world was, Sunset Shimmer sing a song about (My Past Is Not Today). We all see that Sunset Shimmer raise the Sunset all by herself. That how the pony can get the cutie mark. But actually, why in the pony world, that Sunset cannot raise the Sunset all by herself now? If she cannot raise Sunset that mean, she cannot ger her own special Cutie Mark. You should better know about the series.
Absolutely like! That' the best stuff I've ever seen: Such screen resolution (2160 OMG!!!), 12 subtitles languages!!! I'm sure that is the quality of Youtube of future!!!
I've been away from the fan base for quite a while. Came back to see what was going on as the show and conventions are ending. Good to see the fan base is still generating excellent content like this.
Oh, my gosh! I love this animation so much! The art style, the voices, the story-line! It's all good! I know how it feels like trying to make friends. I hardly have any. Most of the friends I make just later on end up leaving me alone forever and never talk to me ever again. I do have a BFF on the internet, though. And we've been friends for a couple or so years, I believe. I love her so much and I am so very glad to have her. She's basically the only friend I have on the internet. (Or is it "in the internet?" I don't know, you get the point.) None of her friends talk to me or spend time with me, though. She's the only one I have and I trust her more than anyone else. She's hilarious, kind and sweet and I am just really glad that I can finally be friends with someone and I am really glad that I can be loved by her. She means everything to me. She always makes me happy and laugh. And I am just super glad that she wouldn't ever leave me alone. If she did, I... I wouldn't know what to do or how to feel about that... I hope that someday we could even meet each other in person.
Youre literally bringing back the level of love I used to have for the show. I still watch the occasional episode if the plot seems good but now I am hyped for the finale season and want to catch up lol
This is why I love the fandom. the endless creativity and skill of the fandom is overwhelming. The animation is stunning, and the story is touching.
However, I have a problem with the sound effect. The hooves sound effect. The sound effects are inconsistent. The hoofsteps are too fast and sound incoherent with the animation. Most hoofsteps are also silent, whilst hoofsteps make sound at the beginning. The sound effect is just lacking in general. There are a lot of actions where there should've produced a sound, but it's just silent. For example, when a unicorn use magic, it horn glows but doesn't produce sound.
I also notice that the anatomy in some parts are inconsistent. Some body parts are also incorrectly drawn in some parts of the short. These are some examples that I found: Sunset's back legs and neck in 4:22, Celestia's jaw and neck in 5:27, Sunset's snout and eye in 3:38, Celestia's head in 6:17, and Twilight's eye in 9:23
The animation is stunning, but it has some problems. First, there are too many frames and it seems unnatural. Then, some parts are too quick, when Celestia reacts to Sunset in 1:44, Sunset approaches the mirror in 1:59, Minuette teleported to Lemon Hearts in 3:03, and Twilight apporached the mirror in 9:34. Last, there's an animation error in 3:26 where Celestia's mouth isn't moving when she's talking.
Overall, this is a great short. I myself can't do the short better than you did. I'm still learning myself and I'm nowhere near professional in animation, so take my words with the largest grain of salt you could find. Keep up the good work!
Damn, amazing job!!! The 3D, yet almost kinda 2D style, outstanding backgrounds, and stunning effects and particles make this a pleasure to watch!! Keep up the great work, can’t wait to see future content just as good, or maybe even better, than this!!! <33
I was beginning to think that we had lost the spark of zeal and originality that made the brony community what it is. I thought there was no way there could be another Lullaby for a princess or Children of the Night but you have proven me wrong. Bronies are not dead we live on today, Thank You for sharing this master piece with the world.
I remember watching you back when shadowbox came out, and this is just beautiful. I knew you were gonna do great things, but I didn’t know this would happen.
For such unique animation quality, mimicking the voices of the originals near-flawlessly, and feeling more dramatic in tone than most MLP official episodes, this is magnificent.
Plot? Sunset was blinded by selfish ambition in her magic that she was unable to understand the true meaning of friendship.
Moral: Whatever the circumstance, there's more to value than just your own personal goal alone.
I loved it the animation the voices the love and work on it well done :) I love it. it's right next to princes lullaby. Amazing. I hope there will always be more fandom from you and other fandoms. you are amazing good luck. and don't let people put you down.
Whilst the animation itself is somewhat decent at times, the real star of the show (or should I say short film!) is the visuals. FUCK me if they’re not gorgeous. I am at awe at it! Bravo!
I absolutely adore this animation, but I realized something. Lots of people were commenting on how Sunset finally pointed out that Celestia was a hypocrite for not having her own friends... but Celestia is like, hundreds of years old, right? I was thinking, what if Celestia used to have actual friends? But because she’s an alicorn, she outlived them all. So, maybe she stopped making friends to avoid the pain of eventually losing them. And that’s why she encourages everyone else to make friends, because she understands just how important they can be and she wants them to have the happiness she can’t.
Or Celestia is indeed a hypocrite- either way, I made myself sad thinking about it. (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
Pacing was a bit slow and there were a few spots where the animation was buggy but overall it was great! Given the time and product I think it’s one of the best animations.
Es muy lindo que personas se esfuerzan tanto para crear un vídeo como este espero que sin importar el tiempo siga existiendo cosas como esto Muchas gracias
The animation is gorgeous (altho the lighting really could be improved on. It's so god damn dark I can barely see the characters in some of the scenes) and the voice acting is decent but my lord the writing...Celestia feels really out of character? She seems really rude to sunset and super pushy about the whole "friendship" then. Like I get it she doesn't want her to be alone but man. What so Sunset wasn't allowed to be her student anymore because she couldn't make friends? And Tia saying "didn't even try" wow that's very out of character. Tia wouldn't say something like that, that's way too mean spirited. Tia said that Sunset became evil because she didn't get things as fast as she wanted and went down a dark path...not because she couldn't make any friends. Her being power hungry and being impatient is barely focused on here which is pretty much like a big part of her backstory?
This is soo good animated, I don't even have words for it.

Sunset has the same color scheme as her pony in mirror magic, forgotten friendship, and spring breakdown. She also looks as if she was in My Little Pony The Movie. Which if she is going to be in the future for MLP the movie 2. I would flip out
I know what it feels to be alone too sunset ... 😞 I use to be jealous for other students in my class for having someone or a group who cares for them...
Jefferson Huang Probably Sunset's Starlight Glimmer. Twilight would have probably grown up to be knowledge hungry, and cook up some universe-altering trouble. Sunset would then pull her out, and take her down (what would be in her eyes) the right path. But Twilight would not see eye-to-eye with Sunny, and she would turn into the next Nightmare Moon. Forcing Sunset to banish her somewhere else.
Essentially, she'll turn into a pony Sci-Twi with a dark origin that makes actual sense.
I think reason why celestia was trying get sunset to make some friends because her sister return was getting closer by day and celestia still thought sunset was bearer of element of magic was possibly even grooming sunset to eventually become princess alicorn but celestia knew that sunset would have to let friendship into her heart that could also be why celestia didn't handle situation way she could have.
That makes sense Princess Celestia felt bad for her and was sad....at the end of the movie when twilight came back to equestria Princess Celestia asked twilight “how’s sunset shimmer is she okay?” This video explains awful lot
I was going to complain but yeah I agree, the writing on this is pretty bad which is a shame because visually it's stunning. Shame the writing isn't up to the same standard. That seems like a common theme in this fandom: amazing animation, terrible writing.
Whar did Celestia know? Did she know that the crown would get stolen because of her visions like in Season 4 finale with Tirek? Or did she skow it was shift change? 0:25
Just some points where you need to focus a little on - don’t take these personally, I just wanna give you some advice that I hope will help you in the future ;
- try to mesh the texture of the characters with the backgrounds so they don’t look too different from each other - try to make sure that the lighting impacts the shading of the characters, skin, eyes/eye shine, and shadows - try to make the sound affects of the portal and other sounds constant, aka the footsteps of the hooves or a more appropriate noise for the water of the portal dependent on the force that the characters giving it - and overall, try to give the animation a harder and more confident feel, make the pauses in animation a little stronger so it doesn’t look like they’re not putting in any effort when they’re moving
However! Overall, the animation was beautiful and the styles were mesmerising
Sunset- YOU'RE A HYPOCRITE! YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE FRIENDS! Me- Then what do you call Celestia? A friend right? So therefore she does have a friend. And that friend is YOU Sunset
LucyByTheOcean Pre-reformation, Sunset's magical aura was aquamarine. But post-reformation, as a representation of her change of heart, her aura turned to red.
Hella Planty Watch the Equestria Girls shorts where Sunset returns to Equestria and interacts with starlight Glimmer. You'll see her aura's red. It's even stated in her wiki that her magic's color changed to symbolize her reformation.
@Miguel Rojas I have watched it and I know her aura is red, pretty sure it's likely an animation error. Also wikis are not exactly reliable sources for information, funny how that was mentioned on the wiki but not in the actual show (to my knowledge at least, I could be wrong)
Hella Planty But of course it wouldn't be mentioned in the show. Sunset isn't a full time character of the main franchise. Nor would it make sense to mention her aura's color in the movies or in the online series, as her magic doesn't use auras of any kind. But unless Hasbro says otherwise, the wiki is the best we got to work with. Unless someone can hopefully email Rebecca Shoichet...
But that doesn't make sense. Sunset Shimmer is, eversince her repentance in Equestria Girls, one of the fan favorites. Or maybe Hasbro is saving her character for the newly formed G5.
The 3D was done in Maya, most of the scenes were rendered in Arnold, but some used Hardware 2.0. The only elements using the 3D engine of Toon Boom were the crowns and the royal guard armors. The 3D environments from Maya were composited with the Toon Boom characters in After Effects. Some shots used a separate pass with a checkerboard that was tracked in After Effects to match the camera movements, while others were tracked by hand with the background.
This is beautiful but I wish it had been a story accessible to people outside the fandom. It has a wonderful dream-like quality. The dialogue is great and feels like it's from the late 70s or early 80s.
My god, this was gorgeous. I've never read the comic, so I was consistently on the edge of my seat. The models could use just a hair of straitening out here and there, as could scene timings/durations, but that's only to say that the piece wasn't perfect. This is still a fantastic piece of work, especially in the case of 10+ minutes in just a number of months!
I think my favorite visual scene was the guard shining his light down the camera's hall near the beginning, though the mirror-surface work looked excellent as well. I'd pick the scene of Sunset hiding behind the tree roots, being very back-and-forth about the idea of going to see the other ponies as my favorite for feeling (and I wish I knew what Sunset mouthed there), and the scene of Celestia apologizing on the verge of tears outside of Sunset's room was a close second. If I may make a comment on that, however, I was at first unsure whether Celestia was supposed to be talking to herself over Luna in that instant. Thank you for making this, and I hope you feel that your effort was well-spent!
Well, it's certainly been a while. I for one have been looking forward to the release of another high quality fan animation of one of my top favorite series. And this did not disappoint. /) well done!
This was great, far superior to the original comic (or anything else the comics have produced, for that matter), and on par with that fantastic animation from years back about Sombra's fall, A Tale of One Shadow. Even after a decade, the brony community still shows there are still new heights of creativity, art, and quality to discover. Very well done!
This is just so beautiful and amazing! So fluid, VAs sound exactly like the real ones, beautiful and dramatic music, and the animation is just stellar! Incredible work that paid off and I'm so glad that I had the privilege to watch this. Also, daaaaaaamn Starlight! Ya cut real deep, girl. Strange that I could actually see this line in the show, too
Oh my god the animation on this. Its beautiful! I only saw the movie once but this animation reminds me of it in some ways! The time and effort this much have taken! Seriously. Props. BIG. TIME. PROPS. To all who worked on this.
I actually think Sunset’s parents neglect and her relationship with Celestia are the main reason why Sunset went bad. After being neglected by her parents, when Celestia took her under her wing, Sunset latched onto her as a parental figure. She wanted to please Celestia and make her proud and be like her. This is why she was so into her studies. But she was going too fast, and was trying to learn stuff she wasn’t ready for. So when Celestia refused to teach her, Sunset was hurt since she was trying to prove herself worthy in Celestia’s eyes. Maybe she even began to think that Celestia didn’t think she was worthy anymore and that was why she refused to teach her the magic she wanted to learn. Her hurt turned to anger, and her reason for wanting to gain power began to change from a desire to please to greed and to obtaining power for the sake of power.
This was awesome, although I've always thought of Sunset running into the portal out of Celestia's grasp rather than Celestia showing up to the aftermath.
This is a bit of a mixed bag for me. The story is simple, yet touching, and the visuals in many scenes are genuinely immersive, bringing Equestria a sense of depth and "realness" I haven't seen before. On the other hand, the pacing leads to a weird, detached feeling for the overall plot. Individual scenes also suffer from timing issues, leading to animation and movement that feels "floaty" or "dizzy" in the way many SFM (source film maker) videos do. Still though, it's obvious a huge amount of love and effort went into this, and that shines brighter than any flaws. So... Thank you for sharing! And keep it up!
The colors are vibrant and the motion is fluid. The only issue I will confess with the animation itself is a over usage of shadows. It's often even hard to see the faces of the characters
So originally, Celestia was setting Sunset on the same path Twilight went through. So if Sunset made friends and listened to Celestia... she would have basically took Twilight's spot. Sunset would have been the princess of friendship.
I think Sunset very well could still be actually. Twilight is set to take over Celestia, so she defiantly needs an extra pony to help raise the sun and moon. I doubt the main 6 could do that.
Yay! You're back with these awesome animations! I love your take on Sunset's back story, but I wish you kept more to the comic, LOL. Any more Dinky animations coming sometime? Either way, this is awesome and I love your cute art! You're so talented and I need more vids! XD :3
I never liked the canon backstory for Sunset Shimmer, it's based on a bad notion of what it means to be "evil". This though, it's really beautiful. I like how Celestia is portrayed as the real antagonist in this situation (though if I were to write the tale of Celestia's lost protege I would have her still just have made mistake, and instead change Sunset Shimmer's character), and it stays faithful to Equestia Girl's backstory without being dependent on the end story.
Eso fue lo que le pasó a la señorita Sunset Shimmer, pero a pesar de todo el daño y el mal que casi provoca en la dimensión, logro redimirse y ahora tiene amigos y amigas. Aprendió la lección gracias a la señorita Twilight Sparkle.
Spiffy! That's a proper project! I hope it was good for you. (Like both eating broccoli, and partaking in an enjoyable activity.) This looks like a huge effort.
I love the animation and voice actors you got to voice Celestia and Sunset Shimmer. However, the story itself well it’s good story don’t get me wrong, but it’s hard for me to believe that Sunset Shimmer became evil because Celestia forced her to learn friendship and forbidden her to learn magic. However, I am glad you made own version of the story instead of copying what IDW did with the comic. Creative originality shows you got great potential to be an awesome storyteller. Overall I think you did a fantastic job. Keep up the good work. :)
Have to say that some of it was mostly Celestia’ s fault, she pretty much forced sunset to go out and friends as an order while banning her from the library until she does so (that’s not who you try to make friends when your being forced to), sunset ddI try but seemed like some were jsut interested in getting close to Celestia’ s personal student
Muy buen fan fim te quedo genial lo unico que creo que te fallo fue un poco en los movimientos (animacion) pero aun asi se nota la dedicacion. Saludos desde Mexico
eugh... ill be honest. this was truly a piece of art, the animation was stunning and smooth.. but it lacked emotion, there was no passion in the characters or their voices. it felt flat, especially since the comics were so in depth. i feel like this had great potential but it fell short and ultimately meant nothing
Wow :O you are talented some small mistakes here and there but can be fixed with practice and amazing lighting and stuff! Wow this must of taken hours and days and weeks
Anyone else think Princess Celestia was a bit out of character? I get this is more than a thousand years before who she is in the show, but you would think she had SOME amount of friendship knowledge and more emotional control than she did here.
Why isn't this the movie? This is a much better story than what Hasbro cook up for the big screen. Also, this is a much better characterization for Sunset than the one note power hungry mare from the 1st EG movies.
you're telling me you can figure out the fundamentals of magic but simple friendship is too hard for you?
yeah, "teacher" pay attention to what's going on. i'm having trouble making friends and it hurts that you're berating me for it, not understanding how I feel. seriously, a mare sitting next to me teleported around me just to not be my lab partner. ouch.
damn, I just want to hug Sunset and be her friend.
I am glad I decided to watch this before Hasbro takes this down for copyright infringement that happened to the button mash adventures by jan animations. He just animated a goodbye music video which is sad.
As a kind of movie with My little pony and happy tree Friends with celestia and moon tired of retirement traveling to the other side of the sea discovering that there is an Equestria for two discovering the world of happy tree Friends seeing a castle in the city to rule the king shadow good characters and that his friends are those of happy tree Friends the villains that neozor and Big BOSS and that they have an army of purple bears and that they are the mane 6 of the future and that neozor and Big BOSS end Jan be their friends saying them that celestia and luna were planning to be princesses again the shadow castle called why he was thinking of withdrawing and giving his place to celestia and luna and Twitlit and her friends travel to happy tree Friends just the day they were planning their coronation when they realized They canceled his presence only until he left and in the end he found a war battle, just try it, I'll just give you an idea and I open it with great respect, but just try
you're not allowed to make money off of things like this. fan-made or not, its considered copyright infringement if you make money off of another person's work. this applies to MLP.
@Reese Youtube sucks. my entire channel got demonitized but i feel alot more sorry for you. putting so much effort into something and not getting a single dime for it
The animation style to beautiful and certainly adds to the story being told. I also can't imagine how long or difficult was to make something as beautiful and powerful as this, but it certainly shows how much love and care went into this.
This was beautifully done! I only have some complaints.
Sometimes the darkness was too much and I couldn't see some bits at all where it seemed important to have light. In shadows, the characters looked flat when exposed to light, they seem well shaded enough to seem 3-D. I was also not a big fan of Celestia's voice actress, but Sunset's was amazing! Some of the characters looked wonky in shots, their proportions were off and looked out of shape

Freaking amazing. And here I was thinking MLP was past its prime with all the truly great works art in this fandom like Lullaby for a Princess, Double Rainboom, and Snowdrop long since past. You have single handily renewed my faith in this fandom. Thank you. In fact, I'd say the only thing that could really be improved upon would be the voice acting. If you asked, you might be able to get some of the other popular MLP fans that can voice characters well, like Magpie, Scribbler Productions, or maybe even Elliemonty. Your animation is certainly good enough that they might consider it.
Bravissimo. This short was simply WONDERFUL! Everyone involved did an excellent job from the gorgeous animation to the stellar voice acting. Not only does it look like the second FIM movie we never got in terms of quality, but it also offers a different perspective to Sunset's backstory, making us wonder if Celestia was also to blame for her downfall, but still keeping Sunset's ambition to excel as well as her passion for magic. Of course, this doesn't make Celestia the villain of the story either, she is still going through a lot after Luna's banishment.
Overall, this is my favorite animation from you, Minty. Congratulations to you and the whole crew.
Coming from someone who hasn't read most of the lore (I've only started on Season 6) I can really say this is a very beautiful production ✓Great animation ✓Great acting, helps carry out the tone and emotion ✓Special effects, very fitting ✓The music and sound effects, on spot My verdict, this really should be in the Top 10 Pony Videos of March!
This, right here, is what I call pure art. The way the backstory is told just catches you and doesn't let you look away. OMG...I even teared up. These are the kind of things I love the fandom for, the pure and amazing artwork it comes from it. <3 /)
It's definitely a very different take on her backstory. With the original comic the emphasis was on her ambition to be like Celestia, whereas here it seems to be significantly more innocent, that she tried making friends and it just wasn't working, and Celestia is being painted more as the one at fault.
I did like that scene of Celestia raising the moon with Luna's face on it after Sunset calls her out on "not having any friends." Very powerful.
How are you so talented?! This is the best animation style and design I have ever seen! This can't get any better! Make sure to remind the voice actors of how good the were! Minty, you just got yourself a new subscriber! This is much better than the animations "The Moon rises" and "Spare" combind!
That. Was. AWESOME! I'm begging you. Please, please PLEASE DO KEEP ON MAKING MORE OF THESE! I can't imagine just how tricky and complicated it is, just to animate something!
It felt a bit disconnected at times, like I was watching scenes from a trailer rather than a film, the character models felt a little off at times (same problem the movie had), the animation of Celestia flying didn't look that good, the voice acting sounded a bit weird (but maybe that's just me) and maybe the plot could have been handled a bit better. But still, this is very good for a fan animation, the effects look good (even if they do clash a bit with the aesthetic), the music is good and it definitely has a couple of great moments, I particularly liked the ending with Celestia looking at how Spike runs after Twilight and questioning why she didn't do the same.
This creativity is what I like to see from the fandom. And I hope Gen 5 will spark a second golden age. I missed out on the first, and I've seen so many pony fan animators give up in recent years. I'm glad you didn't, Minty.
Did I mention this is now on my 'favorite videos of all time list' the list that includes works like "Lullaby for a Princess", "The Moon Rises", and "Snowdrop"
Well, I emphasize too much with Celestia and hearing made me feel Celestia is more lonely than I originally thought. I know many of you know want to teach me that Luna was more lonely than her because we ONLY KNOW LUNA's Side of the Story. We never saw Celestia's Side of their Past. Just because the Ponies celebrated the Sun it doesn't mean that Celestia was happy with it. It's all just Headcannon the Ponies just loved her a Princess with the Ability to rise and set the Sun. And now after she banishing Luna, what she didn't want but Nightmare Moon was an actual Threat, You cannot blame Celestia for wanting to protect her Folk, ruling for 1000 Years alone rising and setting both Sun and Moon but also never had any Friends. Guards only see her as an Idol to protect, Her Students just a Teacher or Mother-Figure but not as a Friend. And even if it's just my own Headcannon it makes me feel really sad and sorry for Celestia

You have skills, I can barely make a simple water drip without mucking it up! Also the music is amazing.
I hope hasbro chooses 3D animation of this level and won't overdo it with writers. Six writers! What for?! As they say in Russia at eight nurses the child without an eye...
Iteresting and well animated... but give the contradictions to how it goes in the show its making it hard to follow what the story idea that you had forr this was and the leaps in time that the video takes even with knowing the show seem too jarring... great animation overall though
The movements are a bit off. The audio could be better. But the scenery and lighting are a top notch. I don't think it's the best MLP animation I've seen though.
!!!OMG!!! This Is really REALLY AWESOME IS THE BEST SHORT FAN FILM THAT I'VE SEEN in the mlp comunity. Minty root you are the Best. I hope this fan animation have a sequel in a future because if happened it would be amazing. 😁😁😁😁😁✋✋✋✋👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
As good as the animation is, your time line is WAY off. You show Celestia looking in on Princess Twilight. This would put it after Season 3 and before Sunset Shimmer returned to Equestria. If this is how it transpired Twilight would have know Sunset but, as we know from the first Equestria Girls movie, Twilight did not know her.(I've still never understood why this is myself because they would have been studying at the same time as they are about the same age, yet she is never mentioned prior to the movie, and the movie doesn't really address how Twilight ~doesn't know her.)
So this is how equestria girls was born and that why Princess Celestia take twilight sparkle for her students and to make thing right in the future. Very nice animation now I know how sunset shimmer hate Celestia so much because she doesn't know about friendship was.
Then sunset say she dont have friends and then celectia rise the moon she start to Think about her sister celectia rally miss luna she know why she trapp luna in the moon but celectia want luna back celectia and luna wars more then sisters they wars best friends and a family
I’ve always had this passing fascination with the MLP franchise/concept, but by far the fan works are out of this world. The production values are spectacular.
This is truly the pinnacle of my little pony animation. I am nearly in tears as to how impressed I am at your adoption from a 2-D animation tweet 3-D masterpiece. You have blown me away and I really loved what you did. This is a really nice take on sunset shimmer. I just wanted to congratulate you on your masterful work of this beautiful piece with a very similar voice actresses I applaud you.
I love the way this animation frames the beginning of Equestria Girls. The animation here is just, stellar. Just seeing the way they move, the subtle expression in the body language, it's just beautiful.
I CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW AMAZING THIS LOOKS!!! THE ANIMATION IS SUCH HIGH QUALITY, THE SHADING IS JUST SO GOOD, THE BACKGROUNDS.. I CANT IMAGINE HOW LONG THIS MUSTVE TAKE! THIS IS ONE HECK OF A EFFORT THATS BEEN PUT IN, AND THIS IS JUST THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ANIMATION IVE EVER SEEN. YOU ARE AMAZING MINTY! Thank you for all the effort to make this movie for all of us :’) it’s really good. I’m proud.
Between the beautiful animation style, the music and the voice acting...I have to give this animation a 100 out of 100. This is better than the animated show itself! I hope you get hired by Hasbro at some point because this animation is flawless! You e just earned another subscriber!
This is just absolutely stunning! The visuals, the animation style, the voices... AHHH! Soooo good! This is unbelievably amazing! Great job to you and everyone else who worked on this! You're all amazing!
Really well done animation! It seems like a rigging technique? I don't know, but the movements are almost really natural. I really like the who effect with the eye dilation and magic and whatnot. But the irises were a bit wonky, and sometimes the "rigging" effect goes a little haywire. But other than that, I think this animation was done beautifully. This is just some things that I noticed and felt like could be improved on, but please do not feel forced or pressured to take any of these notes into heart. I was just trying to help! I can't wait to see the improvement you'll make when you do more!
The tone is beautiful. Lighting, fantastic. Backgrounds, stunning. Voices, perfect fits. Voice Acting, emotionally resonant. Music, complimentary. Order of Events felt natural. Style, unique and familiar.
But the animation needs a lot of fine-tuning. The facial movements and overall animation felt jerky, unnatural and distracted from the story.
This is incredible! One of the best animations I've ever seen. I am Russian, I use Google as a translator. I can’t even imagine how long it took. I wish further development
Gorgeous animation (Toon Boom Harmony is awesome!) but you lost me in the writing at "that's meant for very highly skilled students." Not only does it throw shade at Sunset for no reason, it implies that cohorts of top students were allowed to touch and (by extension) use it to visit the other world? Celestia would instead have said not even she herself knows what would happen in the mirror and no one is allowed to use it, it's too dangerous.
esta animacion esta hermosa muy hermosa se ve que si le ha puesto mucha dedicacion a esto ya que para mi si entra en mi top de las mejores animaciones de my little pony encerio
quite good video, Sunset deserves more history and animations, her past is way to dark and, secrets al still to be told... har past, parents, how meet celestia an soo on.... once again, quite good :3
Its kinda true that making friends is easy cause i was on a playground they had some doll houses there so i played with them and another girl played with them too i said hi she said hi and i said can i borrow that piece? She said sure and im all like cool can i be friends? She said sure then she had to go and we didnt even know our names
The animation is a little bit wacky, but the style looks beautiful, the lighting is on point and the voice acting is really well done, also. :) Maybe you should practice on your 3D and the movement of the pans you make (I'm no professional animator, but that's where I saw most glitches)! Good job over all!
This is beautiful, but why didn’t you stick to the original source material? This version just makes Celestia look like a tyrant... In the comic, Sunset Shimmer is a total brat and completely deserved to get kicked out. This version makes it look like her evil was justified.
That was something else at least I got to find out what happened from the very beginning of there story together I would think that they were friends student and teacher
Your story is wrong, in the movie My Little Pony: Equistria Girls Princess Celestia said that when Sunset did not got what she wanted as fast as she wanted she became cruel and dishonest Princess Celestia tried to help her but she didn't listened and she went to the different dimensions through the portal thats the true story
That was exceptional production. The atmosphere from the very beginning all the way though till the credits was really emotional. Every element from the voice acting, animation, colours and music were so astonishingly well done. The length is so impressive too, it is nearly half an episode.
This will be a future classic web fan animation for sure.
Wow! This was such a beautiful re-enactment if the story. The shading and coloring was on point. The style was a perfect mix of the characters personality and other values most viewers desire. I enjoyed this a lot and I guess if you would like any constructive criticism, maybe try perfecting the backgrounds, I think the castle and the towns needed a bit of work but you succeeded in a 10 minute animation so it’s something that can be let passed. I enjoyed this a lot and I’m enthusiastic about seeing more from you!
I am in awe. Amazing work, dude. The art is just gorgeous and eye catching, the voice actresses did such a wonderful job. You should be very proud of yourself :)
This animation is AMAZING. Wow. Just wow. I'm so happy people still feel Sunset Shimmer is relevant and deserving of a decent backstory. This was great. I love her so much ❤
This is gorgeous! The VA for Sunset really stood out, she sounds almost exactly like Rebecca! Celestia was really good too, and you could feel how hurt and heartfelt she was <3 great job!
Love love loved it. Honestly, half the time I was trying to figure out if it was in 2D or 3D, and the other half was just spent purely enjoying it!! Certainly a contender for the Best Pony Video of the Month, and almost definitely one of the best of 2019. Also, the voice talent was amazing, but the real stand out for me was the amazing music by Radiarc and Seventh Element, who are both awesome at making very atmospheric tracks. Also, even though I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but I thought it was really cool that every time they touched the mirror and you heard the sound of water droplets, the sound was pretty much in tune with the music at that specific moment.
All in all, amazing work, Minty! Not only for animating this fantastic video, but also for finding such amazing talent to help you with it. This is a total ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ video. Keep it up!
Wow. Many of those scenes looks waaaaay more high quality than they should considering how comparably little time it took to make this. This is incredible!
What a mighty impressive and wonderful animation! Super nice work you did! Such wonderful music, the animations done so perfectly.. The voices... Well done my friend, i simply envy your skills :D
Wow! I haven't been apart of the fandom for a while but this video came up in my recommend. So I watched. You just brought me back. Very smooth animation, great voice acting, great pacing of the story!! Well done!!
This is fucking amazing. On behalf of the entire fandom, I must commemorate you and the team of people working on this for your amazing creation. Thank you. :3
This was amazing!!!! If I had to give advice, I’d say try to minimize the amount of empty space. Not animation-wise, like dialogue! There’s too many needless soundless scenes in here that in my opinion, would cause the story to flow better without them in it
That was amazing! Better than the movie of MLP! I guess now I have a better understanding of how sunset shimmer made an appearance in the other world. And, seeing as she couldn't make friends in Equestria, she manages to break up a friendship in the other world, and at the end, becomes friends and is still learning. Talk about character development!
sksksk where did this come from wHaT- Im speechless. Holy crap. This was???? Beautiful??? The backgrounds, fluid models, voice acting, effects, just, EVERYTHING! Also can someone please tell me why this single person is better at melding 3D models with 2D figures then the actual official my little pony movie? (also, that water ripple effect on the mirror, i didn't expect that but it looked GORGEOUS!!
This is so frickin epic... And the VA for Sunset Shimer was scarily accurate lol Beautiful animation, dramatic camera angles, wonderful backgrounds; I could go on. Superb animated film.
The animation is gorgeous and the voice acting is brilliant 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I love it! A million stars
GORGEOUS!!!! I lovelovelove the "you're a hypocrite, you don't even have friends!" line... I had never put that together before but she's right. Celestia really doesn't.
It is a shame that Hasbro is going to end with MLP-FiM. They've said that they will continue with MLP in an other form. Well, changes can be good but I wished that Hasbro would have continued with MLP-FiM but with the quality of the animation as in this video. That would have been so awesome. Anyway, you did more than an awesome job Minty Root. And I am glad that you have picked Sunset Shimmer's story. She is my favorite MLP character. Wubcake doing Sunset's voice was spot on. It almost appears that Rebecca Shoichet herself was in this video. I hope you can do a MLP-EG video as well. Thank you very much Minty Root. You rock!
Man. As someone with AS, Sunset's lack of friendship skills is so relatable. This is basically what it's like to have autism. Including Celestia's reactions.
Holy crap! One about Sunset Shimmer! My poor baby 😭!! Beautiful animation as always! I love the voices and the tone of the video. I can’t wait to see more of your work Minty Root.
Бесподобно! Шедеврально! Невероятно! У меня не хватает слов, что-бы выразить свои эмоции! Ты заслуживаешь похвалы всего мира) Поэтому, получай из России)
Well at least Sunset’s mood was significantly better in the past compared to the comics. In the books she was just means and condescending. But here she just insecure and inexperienced and just kinda got……broken :O
In any case this was amazing. I’m glad I came across this :D
Makes me wonder: If Sunset had been able to do what Celestia wanted, Twilight would probably never have met her friends and became a princess because it seems at times as if Twilight is the replacement for Sunset Shimmer.
This is amazing and I could tell wubcake did sunsets voice she's the best sunset voice actress ever please keep making these I wish fans like u could be in charge of the movies u guys rock
Am I the only one who’s not a fan of the animation? Like, the movement is smooth and the shading looks really nice for the most part. The voicing and sound design is spot on, and the story is pretty good from what I know. It’s just.. some frames look kind of awkward? Like the anatomy looks really strange and the way their mouths move can look weird and unnatural at times. Other than that, it’s pretty good.
Ok, minty root, if you can make a series of this, you got yourself a sub for life, this kept me on edge, I kind of wanna know what's on other side of mirror please? I never did watch the full tv series, was a bit of a ill bug, spent most time snoozing lol x Edit Forgot to add, take time, defo worth it :)
Goddamn minty this video is the reason i subscribed to you.you outdid yourself on this one.hope you can keep making videos like this and good luck on the channel.
This is the one thing I have a problem with. I have a feeling that sunset shimmer was Celestias pupil AFTER Luna was sent to the moon Otherwise this is amazing!!!
..i still really prefer the old animation way. all this..flash using is really weird. not to mention the movement and the pace in the entire video is weird, way too slow and boring. the art still super amazing and beautiful all draw so well, color, lighting, all spectacular. but the animation still needs way more work to make it less feel unnatural. using flash help lots in speed as god thx u don't have to go through frames by frames sh anymore but this kill the beautiful nature movement that 2D brings. well, u have many more chance to learn how to use flash right! this is overall a well-done work. not perfect but good. smooth and stuff but the movement of characters really threw off my hope for this. love the art though, amazing and skillful!
eh, i don't really like this. something about how the audio doesn't quite fit with the animation, and the dialogue just sounds kinda... disjointed? i just didn't enjoy it because of that. however, the lighting was fantastic, and the settings were very well done. i did like the part at the beginning where the guard shines a light at the viewer, that particular animation was lovely. all in all, i can see how much effort was put in to this, but it just fell flat for me.
edit: the story was pretty good, just the way it was shown was unenjoyable and disjointed
Technically, sunset did make a friend, if only a little bit, the princess herself...same other way....just saying lass, Sunset is kind of right, you also can't FORCE people to try to make friends...makes them stick out even more and makes them seem desperate poor Sunset, I fell your pain xx
Now I see why Celestia sent Twilight away. She feared if she restricted privileges such as the library and more advanced magic from her, she would become resentful to Celestia and might’ve gone on the same path as Starlight. Man has Celestia developed so much as a character.
Princess Celestia. Have you come too rescue me? Sorry BVK not today. To what do i owe the pleasure? Minty Root the amazing animator what do you know about them. Nothing only what I've seen recently you really shouldn't have to ask Tia. What did you say you've seen? Iv'e frequently been watching the same video. The one based from Sunset Shimmer. Sunset Shimmer? She was once a student of yours wasn't she? Yes years ago.... unfortunately she took a dark path. I couldn't help her the way she wanted. And now you think that taking in Twilight will make up for your failure with your previous pupil?
It's not like that sunset shimmer goes to human world very along time. After too many years left them celestia told twilight. I know all about it i have seen all episodes of my little pony and equestria girls from season 1 to season 9 alll
It's an amazing feat that you made a film this long with this high quality in a single year.

2077 likesThink about it: Celestia is thousands of years old. In season eight, it is revealed that Celly indeed had friends, it's just that she was too busy with her duties. Her friends likely passed away before she could even fathom that would happen. This cycle would eventually repeat until she had no one left except for Luna then what happens? She turns into Nightmare Moon and Celestia has to banish her. Yes, she did have friends but none of them lived as long as she hoped. She was the loneliest of all until Twilight came along and freed her sister. Celestia finally had someone to be with her. All if this led up to where the series is today.
Sorry for the essay lol. Also, I'll be ignoring any replies stating that I'm being too sympathetic towards Celestia since this is merely my interpretation of her story.
Replies (29)
I don't think you are being too sympathetic towards Celestia at all, her longevity has it's major drawbacks. After a while she would give up on making friends when she knew the inevitable would come, and waiting the thousand years it took to finally free Luna took its toll. I am sure those years taught Celestia she had major faults that, yes she kept repeating, she tried her best to overcome. Honestly the fact she repented and did much better with Twilight, albeit taking a very hard backseat, is clear progress. Although some say she took too much of a backseat in many struggles the mane 6 would face, I believe she did the right thing. After all if someone does things for you, how do you learn or how do you grow?

2 likesWow, that definitely would explain the whole story of Sunset Shimmer, and how it all led to the first “My Little Pony: Equestria Girls” movie. That’s how Sunset turned cruel and dishonest, and why she decided to abandon her studies and pursue her own path, one that sadly led her to steal Twilight’s crown and use it to gain power to rule Equestria. Also, I think that Sunset did try to make some friends before, so that probably explains why she didn’t know the first thing about friendship, and why she drove everyone apart in the Canterlot High school alternate world

Well to be fair. It possible Celestia had some in the past.
134 likesRemember she's lived for a very long time. She probably doesn't have any currently, its hard as a possible immortal to continously make another friendship when you know that after a while the one you call friend die and you'll have to stand by their side for the entire time. Also Celestia does state that friendship isn't easy, it's possible she knows that from experience.
@Torn Tokoroa
4 likesTrue
Luna was probably her first friend and we see how that turned out. The pain she felt of losing her sister made her not want to make new friends as she didn’t want to experience that pain all over again. Sounds a lot like Moondancer when Twilight left her. It’s not that we’ve never made any friends, it’s just the pain of losing them keeps us from wanting to make new ones.
53 likesLet's note something. Im not saying Celestia is totally innocent. She did admit she made a mistake and it seems that she's not going the same path to repeat herself. Like any mortal she'll make mistakes but from what I've seen she's always trying to fix them. Whether she succeeds or fails is another story. Besides nowadays Sunset knows what it's like to actually have friends and I'm sure by now she knows that Celestia was right.

What I am asking is for her to sit sunset down and tell her that "magic and friendship share a common ground - if your motives are aimless or selfbased? Then it's no good to anyone. So to be a good friend? You must first get to know someone little by little. Just like with magic" then let sunset figure it out from there.
11 likesBut she doesnt because shes worried to get attached. Think about it. Shes immortal, she could make friends, just to watch them grow old and die. That is depressing, and that is mind-breaking. Celestia is sad because all her friends died, and she doesnt want it to happen again.
8 likesYes, but I have a thought that I want to share,
8 likes1.) Perhaps Celestia wants every pony to experience something that she never got to experience herself. Being a princess and all, it’s hard for her to make true friends. Either it would be awkward treating a princess like a friend when in reality they are pretty high up there, or that most ponies would only like to be friends because a princess is royalty. But then again, maybe Celestia wasn’t always the god-like figure that we have seen in the show. Seeing how everyone bows down and basically worships her as a young filly, this might have given her a god complex, which pushed others away. Perhaps this is what led Luna to become Nightmare Moon. I’m aware that that is highly debatable, given the fact that this doesn’t add up to what the show said about Luna becoming Nightmare Moon, which was jealousy, but if you look back into the show, (please correct me if I’m wrong) it has always been Celestia that has said that Luna was jealous, Luna only expressed shear guilt and regret but never did say that she was jealous, (except in the dan made stuff but that doesn’t count,) could this be Celestia’s struggle with a god complex showing through? And could her god complex be part of the reason why Sunset Shimmer ran into the mirror? I don’t think that Celestia in and of herself is a bad person, she just might struggle with a god complex, perhaps she’s aware of this and tries her hardest to provide for equestria?? I don’t know, I’m sorry this is so long I write a lot. 😅
Why should you be expected to have friends, some people dont really need friends
6 likesThat’s why she wanted them to make friends, because deep down she know how lonely and awful it felt, and she didn’t want them to go through that.
8 likesGuys... they are cartoon horses, as much as your constructive critism is gracious, calm down..
7 likesCelestia was in the wrong for pressuring Sunset into making friends, rather than encourage her. It's two completely different things. But I think the reason why Celestia did so was because friendship was something she never really had, or at least not for a very long time, and that was why Sunset's words stung so much. Celestia realized she was wrong and she shouldn't have pushed Sunset especially when it was making her unhappy. It's true that friends are nice to have, but it's not something that can be forced.

0 likesI recently got into mlp and the spin off, and really wound up liking Sunset's character a lot in the spin off. Granted her whole character made no sense in the first movie. This short however in essence brings Sunsets character together, and explains a lot when it came to her behavior, and sudden 180 at the end of the first m9vie. She was just a hurt, and confused teenager lashing out immaturely because she is just a teen. Especially lashing out at her successor Twilight because she felt rejected by her mentor, and then replaced, which had to hurt. Still she yearned for validation, which Twilight gave her hence making her 180 and vulnerability at the end of tha first movie much easier to swallow.
6 likesSo amazing job characterizing Sunet so well before her first canonical appearance, wonderful animation, and this has become my head cannon for Sunset. LOL While she is just spin off character I really have grown to love her in the other movies she was in, and this just fixes a lot of the initial problems I had with her so conisely well. 😊

She decided to remove Sunset Shimmer from the position as her pupil just because she snook into the library at night to read about the portal since she was very curious about it. Sunset is slightly out of character in this animation but for me, she didn't seem arrogant enough. Here, she actually tried to make friends. Sunset in the comic didn't obey Celestia when being taught about humility.
5 likesthe animations styles are different bruh. honestly the actual show was designed for little kids, 5 year olds, i’m pretty sure kids won’t find stuff like this entertaining especially because of the art style. i’m not saying all kids won’t like this but i think most children would prefer colorful animations and cartoon like features without depressing music playing in the background.

0 likes@ganondorfchampin That's why this feels so much better than what we got. I hated Sunset as a villain, she was the stereotypical alpha bitch that wanted to let everyone who was in charge and acted like a major brat for not getting what she wanted. I know that people say that she's changed, but I still can't accept that stupid 'past' making her an actual threat at the time. This also shows Celestia being a little antagonistic, which people call out of character, but considering they have completely flanderized her character later on, this adds more moral gray to her which I think fits a ruler.

3 likesI gotta say the animation is really BEAUTIFUL! It’s smooth and free flowing, the lighting is amazing.
2 likesThe story is really interesting as well! The only flaw I have with the animation however is they lack expression when played with the voice actor and dialogue. Yea I see expression on their faces and body but they’re not really that strong. You can HEAR how the ponies feel but you don’t SEE how they feel. Their actions with their emotions and dialogue feels a bit stiff and slow. Because of the lack of expression, I don’t really ‘feel’ the emotions given in this emotional story but I can hear the emotion.
Again your animation is amazing and smooth, you just need to work on the visual expressions.
That’s my constructive criticism
Absolutely incredible animation. Words cannot describe how good this is.

I've always believed that sunset was meant to become the next princess she was being trained for it. However, when celestia presented her with the challenge of friendship it just didn't work out. I also enjoy how you wrote celestia, it's obvious that she's trying to get ahold of having a pupil. I wouldn't be surprised if the fallout with sunset made her rethink how she treats and punishes her students.

Well... Celestia was like that with Sunset Shimmer
3 likesI only just realized how weird it is that Twilight never met Sunset, since she was Celestias student since she was a filly
13 likesThat means Sunset is much older than Twilight
But unless she was wandering years prior, which is unlikely considering where the portal led, the school pictures show she was only there for four years. There’s no way Twilight was only four years away from Sunset as a filly right? Surely Twilight would’ve known about Celestias other “number one student” before Sunset ran if they were the same age no? I’m confused about the timeline
Maybe I’m overthinking this
Edit: actually it’s even more confusing in this animation considering Moondancer seems to be the same age as Sunset and we know Moondancer is the same age as Twilight but this is an animation, not canon lol
Anyway, great animation, beautiful effects, solid voices. 9/10, my only gripe with it being that the movements are a bit too slow sometimes
This is without a doubt one of the best MLP animations of all time. Right up there with Lullaby for a Princess. Beautiful animation, amazing vocal work and sound design, and just such a powerhouse of story telling. Everyone who worked on this deserves some kind of award it is that good.

The only thing is Sunset once said to the main 6 in the human world this, "Back when I was Princess Celestia's student, I learnt best by going out into the field and actually doing something.

The animation on this is absolutely stunning and congratulations, you opened up a new viewpoint for me. I never thought about Sunset going through heartache until now. I felt so bad for Sunset in this, it seems like Celestia expected something out of Sunset that isn't exactly easy for her. I'm sure Tia had friends in the past but does she have any at the time she did this to Sunset? She didn't even have her sister at that point in time. I think if she would have given Sunset the same level of support she gave Twilight, she could have became an Alicorn princess. Hell, chances are she gave Twilight the level of support she did so she wouldn't become just like Sunset.
0 likesAmazing animation!
437 likesAnd I think Celestia pushed friendship too hard. It's one thing to encourage a student to be more outgoing, but you can't force someone to make friends. Banning her from the library was too much. Heck, Celestia could've encouraged her to find a study buddy. That would've been a start. My best friend and I met in French class and studied together all the time.
In fact, Celestia is actually unreasonable in this version. In the comic, Sunset was arrogant and intentionally unfriendly, and outright disrespectful to Celestia while Celestia was actually patient with her and only snapped when Sunset kept pushing the issue. In this animation, Sunset is genuinely nice and it's Celestia who's trying to be forceful (you'd think for someone who preaches about friendship, Celestia would know it can't be forced). "Make friends" is an outrageous order. If you want to encourage someone to form friendships, you help them start small, not jump to banning them from their favorite place and chewing them out for having trouble with your silly order. Celestia's reasoning for the whole thing is also silly. "Good things for who?" Umm, Equestria? Maybe herself?
Guess I make it obvious I don't like Celestia here, huh? I still love the animation, but Celestia wasn't the best teacher here.

Yes, I think Celestia is Pushing it for sunset and should started it with a study buddy. But everyone has their own opinion and/or reasons. In Celestia case it's not wrong and the animation should of explain better to the comic then leave bits (Pun intended) and Peices behind. However I also disagree with the fact that celestia the banning her from the library is not right and is not wrong ethier.
11 likesi have to agree, and especially with the episode in which twilight forces moondancer to make friends in the same way
10 likesTry to remember how everything was at the beginning of the series. Celestia also ordered Twilight to go make friends, as a response to her notice of an impending emergency of potentially catastrophic proportions (The return of Nightmare Moon). Now imagine rewinding that character development for Celestia another 4 years or so for Sunset. Celly's a nice pony, but she seems only capable of learning from direct experience through trial and error. Fortunately for her, she's an immortal alicorn and thus has all the time in the world and won't die from her mistakes. Unfortunately for all of the other ponies, she's also in charge of everything and their pillar and compass of morality.
13 likesYou clearly didn’t read the comic version if you think Celestia actually acts like this, come on. Wise up.
5 likes@AlzMarioWolfe but Angelicstardom said that the comic Celestia was patient and im sure you didnt read
0 likesIt was stated in the description its LOOSELY based on the comic, Minty did her own twist of the tale. Maybe in the comic you can make it as the story was told via Celestia who believed Sunset wasn't trying, and this more in the eyes of Sunset who was frustrated with how stubborn her teacher was despite her efforts. Remember stories can be told vastly different based on who tells it.
2 likesIt gives good facet to canon Celestia though, it shows more that she's not perfect. it makes her more "human" that she makes mistakes, sometimes big ones, she grieves and worries over them and attempts to learn from them herself
I haven't read the comic that everyone's talking about. Link to purchase, please? Also, I can understand why Celestia would be so adamant that Sunset must make friends. In the EQG movie, Celestia states that Sunset was her star pupil before Twilight. Since that was the case, I would imagine that Celestia was hoping for Sunset to defeat Nightmare Moon.

0 likesWow. This is so good. The animation looks amazing. It is even better than the official show. I like the nice shading and lighting. It almost looks like CG. Sunset Shimmer is so beutiful in pony form. Here is is a nice chance to see that. I find Sunset Shimmer so relatable. In the first Equestria Girls she was a bully. Then after that she was deeply into the mane six human group of friends. I didn't relate to her then. However I relate to her in this video. This is similar to Twilight Sparkle and Moon Dancer. Twilight is the character of MLP that I relate to the most. Luster Dawn is a bit like this at the end of the series. These characters are nerds. They focus more on their studies. So they are not as social. I don't think it was right for Celestia to punish Sunset like that. If Sunset is struggling like this, she should go to see a doctor. If someone has sever difficulty socializing to the point that they can't function, then there may e something seriously wrong with them. So they should see a doctor and at least get looked at. I ended going to a doctor. I did get on a special program to help me. However it was delayed due to the quarantine.

1 likeAnd this is one of the most amazing Mlp animations I had ever watched!! 🤩
0 likesThe animation is so frickin' good! I love it! It's like a short movie, but better in all movies I'd watched!
1 likeHonestly, this puts in perspective of their backstory with each other better than I thought back then. Think about it, since Sunset is basically Celestia's first apprentice (unless there's anything canon that says otherwise), along with the fact that Celestia has had friends in the past that didn't live as long as her AND her sister being banished during this time, I take her forcing the order of making friends as a case of projecting.
0 likesShe knows that loneliness isn't something she wants for Sunset, but being caught up in your own responsibilities can change how you act towards others over time. Later on, it does seem like she was getting more desperate when she did issue the order to Sunset as she did just talk with her before and tried to explain it as best she could. Obviously, that order backfired hard and she lost what she had left until Twilight came along.
And Sunset's line in the library... that's not wrong, but damn. That kinda implies that even when they are alone, Celestia wouldn't talk to her as Celestia, but as the princess. Never a friend or even a parent figure? Guess she might have been more stricter than we thought.
Great animation, by the way!
The animation reminds me the movie itself especially how smooth this animation is.

This was amazing, you did a great job!
0 likesComing back to rewatch this, I know understand Sunset Shimmer a little better. When she couldn't have friendship, she decided to try to do or get something outrageous, like an army to take over Equestria, and for what? Obviously, she really just wanted to get some type of revenge on Princess Celestia for not teaching her the meaning or value of friendship. So, when she was defeated by Twilight and the girls, she basically that she thought that was how she could get friends, since she didn't know any other way. Celestia wasn't a bad teacher, she just didn't know hot to tell Sunset what to do in order to make friends, since she has none herself.

1 likethis film had no right to be this good amazing job!
0 likesThis is so awesome. Wish there was a real movie all about Sunset Shimmer's early days and ending when were Equestria Girls started.
1 likeI won't be the first to admit it, but this is an absolutely gorgeous piece of work, pure eye candy to look at. The setting was done wonderfully as well as the animation itself, and it's obvious the work you spent on it. Though, that's not to say that it's flawless, of course. I felt like at certain points of the animation, certain moments felt off and almost jarring. This is sometimes partly due to the audio when listening with what's happening on screen, like the animation and the audio is having two different conversations. It's probably a nitpick of mine, however I couldn't help but notice it when watching it first time around.
138 likesStill, despite that, watching this was amazing, so thank you for making this.

0 likesWhen Celsitia gets mad at Sunset about being in the library I was so shocked mad and surprised because I had never seen that side of her before and Sunset had every right to be mad at Celsitia too but I still like this version of how Sunset left Equestria because it makes Celsitia seem less of the perfect princess we know and more of someone who makes mistakes

1 likeReplies (1)
yeah, but it took longer time for making this than the actual show
0 likesThis only reminds me of the open question. "Are Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer actually the 2 counterparts to each other?" When you think about it, as far as we know, neither has a counterpart in the human world. Assuming Sunset is actually a Pony originally? Everyone else who could be regarded as not just a background character seems to have a human and pony counterpart for most things. (obvious exceptions relating to specific stories which are hard to address in just 3 films and a couple of shorts.) But Starlight and Sunset are both major characters who don't seem to have human counterparts, which asks if they are the same relative person.
0 likesWe know Starlight has a father, While Sunset has no established parents? It's possible their two human counterparts are just too far away, but given how major they are, it seems unlikely their human versions shouldn't have turned up by now. And when you consider that they both represent the 2 moments either side of twilight to head into the night. The only true flat is Sunset's name, Should really have been Sunlight Shimmer. People tend to forget there is a twilight both at the beginning and end of the day. and you get the first and last Starlight. You also get the first and last Sunlight, whereas Sunset only happens once. This might break the theory of them being the same person from 2 worlds, but certainly, there is enough circumstantial evidence to question it.
This, my friend, is absolutely beautiful! For a while the story didn't seem coherent, but in the end it felt complete anyways. MLP G4 (Movie) will live on with talented animators like you!

0 likesI loved a lot of things about this, but it felt so stiff. The music is gorgeous and the art style is cute, but inconsistent. Their poses seemed weird at times and the walking cycle could use some work, though I liked the sound effect of the hooves. The fact that you found such good voice actors is amazing! Though it sometimes felt a bit stiff and unrealistic, and their facial expressions (and body language) lacked emotion. I think in certain scenes, it would’ve been great if Celestia had her wings out but lowered, and then have her lift her wings a bit as she talked, so you could see the change in emotion. Celestia’s flying animation felt really stiff, too. But I loved the way we only saw Celestia’s shadow when she was talking to Sunset- large and intimidating, and gives the viewer a feeling of her power.

@T M I largely mean the backgrounds, level of detail, how "real" it feels, and the small motions characters make that brings them to life. I agree that some of the movements, especially Celestia flying, feel stiff, but I didn't want to be negative right off the bat and when I made this comment there weren't very many views yet. Also, for a single-person project, rather than the hundreds of people who worked on the MLP movie, the sheer quality and attention to detail here knocks it out of the park.

6 likesIt was good animation, and you are right, but just not movie quality.
The backgrounds and special effects look good, but the animation is lacking alot. A huge part of it is just stretching stuff and barely animating anything.

0 likesthe sound effects are sometimes out of sync with the animation or feels like they're out of place (especially at the beginning) or are missing all together as with most of the film and the voice acting also needs some work as it at times doesn't match with the character's movements. One of the animation's greatest strength is it's lighting which is undoubtedly beautiful with the 3D models which is also beautifully made and can serve to hide imperfections in the actual 2D animation with all the sharp and harsh lighting, the actual 2D animation itself has quite a lot of flaws with the characters not fitting in with the 3D environment and not matching with the perspective of the camera but the lighting mostly hides that, the characters movements don't always match with the 3D environment either and can stick out like a sore thumb. The film makes heavy use of it's strength to hide it's weaknesses or at least make them less noticeable, it's certainly not professional and has a lot of flaws but it's not bad, kinda surpassed my expectations actually

Usually repeated, same ol same, chessy, lame, predicted, you name it. There is a better script, stories in movie/animation, but only few or couple, is like 1-5% of total movies/animations. And not everybody can make the best stories, script, etc okay? You can say that because you never make a small movie. Even the simplest, easiet one. I had it before (script for simple animation not for voice actor/the one who people who read the lines... is more of a storyboard and I can't be like them, I CAN'T!) and it's fucking difficult!
1 like@Leafeon Fusion Well for me is: she sneakingly reading about a portal notes that is very confidential and/or very secret. If it's then I can understand. Is like reading someone's bank envelope.
1 likeHonestly this could have been given an easy backstory. Maybe Celestia wanted her to make friends due to the Luna prophecy, and she knows magic from comrades/friends is the strongest form that there is (harmony magic), so she was forcing Sunset to make friends and fulfill it. She didn't want to tell Sunset this so she just made something up to tell her so she wouldn't have to answer it, because Celestia had an ulterior motive and it would make Sunset look down on her. When Sunset rebelled against her, Celestia couldn't forgive herself so she never forced Twilight to make any friends but instead nudged her in the right direction and suggested it. She learned her mistakes and instead tried to act more friendly and nice towards Twilight to help her understand friendship better and never forces her ideas of what friendship is, because she wants Twilight to figure it out.

1 likeBut i am going to say it anyway.
First off brilliant animation. The only thing i have to say that isn't really a critic is the mouths. The animation of the mouths moving as the ponies talk could better. More often than not when i see this type of stuff it is usually because it is very hard to animated and O-shaped mouth to sound out any words that require that type of animation. When i saw this you did do a type of O-shaped mouth but it was mostly just the bottom part of the mouth opening and closing to match the words.
Second off the story was amazing. coming from a person who has already seen sunset's backstory from Hasbro if i hadn't seen this i would have accepted it as a form of fanfic canonicity until you were proven otherwise. so far though knowing what i know you were not far off the mark. Some things were correct and some were wrong. However a lot of what was shown is in the grey area where it could be canon or it could not.
Otherwise it is a brilliant animation I believe i will be watching your other works and may or may not critic them to so don't hate on me. i do to draw your attention to what can be fixed and worked on in the future. Think of them as heavy suggestions.
Holy sweet Celestia!!! I loved this! The animated film based on a comic to Sunset Shimmer's origin gave me a lot of tears!!! Well done for working this, it was really worth watching this! 😥😢😘💜

She rules over a whole kingdom

It was quite convenient that twilight came cause you can see tia put others before herself and was tired..
She’s immortal no pony can live that long except alicorns and stuff
And then this just makes it deeply sad
And thus, the story ends with Twilight's first visit to Earth.

2 likes@Navy Rajynmy guess is She wanted to make her the Element of Magic. She must've forgotten about the tree of harmony because the Elements fell dormant after Celestia used them to banish Luna. The Tree probably already knew Twilight was the chosen one and Celestia had no clue cause she forgot about the tree.

Thats my theory
It basically means that sunset is way older than twillight, because celesta thaught twillight when she was a filly
40 likesMaybe Celestia thought Sunset and Twilight at the same time? And they never crossed paths until after Sunset quit. And maybe they were both fillies at the same time, I mean you said that Celestia said “She BEGAN her studies not long before Twilight did.” Problem solved.

@Human Dog oh yeah that might be a logical explanation
0 likes@______________ yeah
0 likesMy theory is that Sunset started her studies a few years before Twailait (Celestia has been ruling Equestria for a 1111 years, I don't really know what she means by "not long before"). Celestia thought Sunset would be the one freeing her sister from the Moon, Sun (set) liberating Moon makes sense for me. But then, she saw a powerful pony get her Cutie Mark as part of a prophecy (Twailait) and she'd doubt about Sunset. That's why she urged her to prove she could make friends and at the same time teach Twailait, but since Sunset runs away she realizes she has been to harsh on poor Sunset and changes her ways of teaching.

14 likesAt that point, since Celestia is doing fine being too busy to maintain friendships, Sunset has a point on not needing them. The point is if friendship is so important, why would someone of great influence not have any, at least as Sunset figured, yet reprimand her for the same thing of not having friends? Is being a princess with responsibilities enough to excuse you from friendship?

She wasn’t at all, read the comic.
2 likes@AlzMarioWolfe (1) Comic is not canon. (2) Even if it was, nopony but a hardass outright exiles a pony for breaking the rules (a forgivable offense).
0 likesMlai00 Oh look, you definitely didn’t read the comic that’s much more canon than this animation because she didn’t banish her from Equestria, only the castle. That’s fucking fair considering she basically told Celestia she wanted power in a selfish way and literally insulted ponies who congratulated her. This is all Sunset’s fault. I have no clue how you could even say that canon made Celestia a hardass about this situation because I personally can’t remember it being described in detail past Celestia recapping it at the beginning of the first movie.
1 likeMlai00 She didn’t “break the rules”, she was a literal threat to Celestia and the students. She chose not to befriend anyone, that’s literally all she had to do and she failed. And then she BROKE INTO THE DARK MAGIC LIBRARY. That’s probably breaking a LAW.
0 likes@AlzMarioWolfe Chill, spud, chillll. Where do you see me saying this fan animation is canon?
0 likesI can't stand IDW Comics fanboys.
Mlai00 I’m... not even an IDW comic fanboy, I just know what the truth is and you know what I can’t stand? People who blatantly hate Celestia when she actually didn’t do any wrong. That’s what’s worse.
0 likes@AlzMarioWolfe Canon = The cartoons, including Equestria Girls.
0 likesNon-canon = All fan works, and the IDW comics.
And knowing canon implied she was different in those years does not make me dislike Celestia.
Mlai00 You still said she was a hardass in those years in canon. And if anyone’s going to comfort the actual situation until the show does, it would be the comics.

11 likes@Moonlight Rift Ah, makes sense.
0 likesThis is a much better backstory than the one in the comic. I actually feel for Sunset here than in the comic, and I like that Celestia is antagonistic here, which adds a bit more layers to her character, knowing that she banished Luna, and having to deal with stress from ruling alone kinda would make her like this. It actually shows her flaws better than how the comic did. The comic, she really didn't face any internal struggles in her anger towards Sunset for being a greedy arrogant little bitch. This is a way better depiction of their fallout than what Hasbro did in the movie and comic.

0 likesBeautifully produced - obviously a lot of hard work for a labor of love. Well done.
4 likesThat said, I did not like the story - it failed to establish a credible motivation for defying Celestia let alone risking all in a leap of faith through the mirror - what was Sunset running from and what was she hoping to achieve? Further more, it places far too great a focus on the [alleged] responsibility of Celestia instead of bringing into sharp resolution Sunset's own faults and ultimate culpability for her own downfall.

0 likesThat was Fluttershy was saying. And if that was happen, how Sunset Shimmer can get her Cutie Mark anyway? We all see that Sunset cannot Raise the Sunset. But, we all see in human world was, Sunset Shimmer sing a song about (My Past Is Not Today). We all see that Sunset Shimmer raise the Sunset all by herself. That how the pony can get the cutie mark. But actually, why in the pony world, that Sunset cannot raise the Sunset all by herself now? If she cannot raise Sunset that mean, she cannot ger her own special Cutie Mark. You should better know about the series.

1 likeGood to see the fan base is still generating excellent content like this.
Oh, my gosh! I love this animation so much! The art style, the voices, the story-line! It's all good! I know how it feels like trying to make friends. I hardly have any. Most of the friends I make just later on end up leaving me alone forever and never talk to me ever again. I do have a BFF on the internet, though. And we've been friends for a couple or so years, I believe. I love her so much and I am so very glad to have her. She's basically the only friend I have on the internet. (Or is it "in the internet?" I don't know, you get the point.) None of her friends talk to me or spend time with me, though. She's the only one I have and I trust her more than anyone else. She's hilarious, kind and sweet and I am just really glad that I can finally be friends with someone and I am really glad that I can be loved by her. She means everything to me. She always makes me happy and laugh. And I am just super glad that she wouldn't ever leave me alone. If she did, I... I wouldn't know what to do or how to feel about that... I hope that someday we could even meet each other in person.
2 likesYoure literally bringing back the level of love I used to have for the show. I still watch the occasional episode if the plot seems good but now I am hyped for the finale season and want to catch up lol
0 likesThis is why I love the fandom. the endless creativity and skill of the fandom is overwhelming. The animation is stunning, and the story is touching.
0 likesHowever, I have a problem with the sound effect. The hooves sound effect. The sound effects are inconsistent. The hoofsteps are too fast and sound incoherent with the animation. Most hoofsteps are also silent, whilst hoofsteps make sound at the beginning. The sound effect is just lacking in general. There are a lot of actions where there should've produced a sound, but it's just silent. For example, when a unicorn use magic, it horn glows but doesn't produce sound.
I also notice that the anatomy in some parts are inconsistent. Some body parts are also incorrectly drawn in some parts of the short. These are some examples that I found: Sunset's back legs and neck in 4:22, Celestia's jaw and neck in 5:27, Sunset's snout and eye in 3:38, Celestia's head in 6:17, and Twilight's eye in 9:23
The animation is stunning, but it has some problems. First, there are too many frames and it seems unnatural. Then, some parts are too quick, when Celestia reacts to Sunset in 1:44, Sunset approaches the mirror in 1:59, Minuette teleported to Lemon Hearts in 3:03, and Twilight apporached the mirror in 9:34. Last, there's an animation error in 3:26 where Celestia's mouth isn't moving when she's talking.
Overall, this is a great short. I myself can't do the short better than you did. I'm still learning myself and I'm nowhere near professional in animation, so take my words with the largest grain of salt you could find. Keep up the good work!
- Irza Liando -
Damn, amazing job!!! The 3D, yet almost kinda 2D style, outstanding backgrounds, and stunning effects and particles make this a pleasure to watch!! Keep up the great work, can’t wait to see future content just as good, or maybe even better, than this!!! <33

0 likesWhilst the animation itself is somewhat decent at times, the real star of the show (or should I say short film!) is the visuals. FUCK me if they’re not gorgeous. I am at awe at it! Bravo!
0 likesI absolutely adore this animation, but I realized something. Lots of people were commenting on how Sunset finally pointed out that Celestia was a hypocrite for not having her own friends... but Celestia is like, hundreds of years old, right?
0 likesI was thinking, what if Celestia used to have actual friends? But because she’s an alicorn, she outlived them all.
So, maybe she stopped making friends to avoid the pain of eventually losing them. And that’s why she encourages everyone else to make friends, because she understands just how important they can be and she wants them to have the happiness she can’t.
Or Celestia is indeed a hypocrite- either way, I made myself sad thinking about it. (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
I love this Short Movie.
0 likesThe Animation, Style, Sound ... OMG I love it! So amazing. <3

0 likesThe animation is gorgeous (altho the lighting really could be improved on. It's so god damn dark I can barely see the characters in some of the scenes) and the voice acting is decent but my lord the writing...Celestia feels really out of character? She seems really rude to sunset and super pushy about the whole "friendship" then. Like I get it she doesn't want her to be alone but man. What so Sunset wasn't allowed to be her student anymore because she couldn't make friends? And Tia saying "didn't even try" wow that's very out of character. Tia wouldn't say something like that, that's way too mean spirited. Tia said that Sunset became evil because she didn't get things as fast as she wanted and went down a dark path...not because she couldn't make any friends. Her being power hungry and being impatient is barely focused on here which is pretty much like a big part of her backstory?

Jefferson Huang Probably Sunset's Starlight Glimmer. Twilight would have probably grown up to be knowledge hungry, and cook up some universe-altering trouble. Sunset would then pull her out, and take her down (what would be in her eyes) the right path. But Twilight would not see eye-to-eye with Sunny, and she would turn into the next Nightmare Moon. Forcing Sunset to banish her somewhere else.
0 likesEssentially, she'll turn into a pony Sci-Twi with a dark origin that makes actual sense.

Hi

0 likesits the disney animators crying
Just some points where you need to focus a little on - don’t take these personally, I just wanna give you some advice that I hope will help you in the future ;
13 likes- try to mesh the texture of the characters with the backgrounds so they don’t look too different from each other
- try to make sure that the lighting impacts the shading of the characters, skin, eyes/eye shine, and shadows
- try to make the sound affects of the portal and other sounds constant, aka the footsteps of the hooves or a more appropriate noise for the water of the portal dependent on the force that the characters giving it
- and overall, try to give the animation a harder and more confident feel, make the pauses in animation a little stronger so it doesn’t look like they’re not putting in any effort when they’re moving
However! Overall, the animation was beautiful and the styles were mesmerising
What happened to them on the other side ? Btw This is so Great !

LucyByTheOcean Pre-reformation, Sunset's magical aura was aquamarine. But post-reformation, as a representation of her change of heart, her aura turned to red.
0 likes@Miguel Rojas Nah it seems as if it was an error unless it's be confirmed anywhere else. Her aura is supposed to be aqua
0 likesHella Planty Watch the Equestria Girls shorts where Sunset returns to Equestria and interacts with starlight Glimmer. You'll see her aura's red. It's even stated in her wiki that her magic's color changed to symbolize her reformation.
0 likes@Miguel Rojas I have watched it and I know her aura is red, pretty sure it's likely an animation error. Also wikis are not exactly reliable sources for information, funny how that was mentioned on the wiki but not in the actual show (to my knowledge at least, I could be wrong)
0 likesHella Planty But of course it wouldn't be mentioned in the show. Sunset isn't a full time character of the main franchise. Nor would it make sense to mention her aura's color in the movies or in the online series, as her magic doesn't use auras of any kind. But unless Hasbro says otherwise, the wiki is the best we got to work with. Unless someone can hopefully email Rebecca Shoichet...

The 3D was done in Maya, most of the scenes were rendered in Arnold, but some used Hardware 2.0.
1 likeThe only elements using the 3D engine of Toon Boom were the crowns and the royal guard armors.
The 3D environments from Maya were composited with the Toon Boom characters in After Effects. Some shots used a separate pass with a checkerboard that was tracked in After Effects to match the camera movements, while others were tracked by hand with the background.

This is beautiful but I wish it had been a story accessible to people outside the fandom. It has a wonderful dream-like quality. The dialogue is great and feels like it's from the late 70s or early 80s.
2 likesI love this.
My god, this was gorgeous. I've never read the comic, so I was consistently on the edge of my seat. The models could use just a hair of straitening out here and there, as could scene timings/durations, but that's only to say that the piece wasn't perfect. This is still a fantastic piece of work, especially in the case of 10+ minutes in just a number of months!
0 likesI think my favorite visual scene was the guard shining his light down the camera's hall near the beginning, though the mirror-surface work looked excellent as well. I'd pick the scene of Sunset hiding behind the tree roots, being very back-and-forth about the idea of going to see the other ponies as my favorite for feeling (and I wish I knew what Sunset mouthed there), and the scene of Celestia apologizing on the verge of tears outside of Sunset's room was a close second. If I may make a comment on that, however, I was at first unsure whether Celestia was supposed to be talking to herself over Luna in that instant.
Thank you for making this, and I hope you feel that your effort was well-spent!
Using Radiarc's music made this even better.

0 likesIt's a beautiful animation.. and a breath of fresh air for what feels like a dying fandom
0 likesI actually think Sunset’s parents neglect and her relationship with Celestia are the main reason why Sunset went bad. After being neglected by her parents, when Celestia took her under her wing, Sunset latched onto her as a parental figure. She wanted to please Celestia and make her proud and be like her. This is why she was so into her studies. But she was going too fast, and was trying to learn stuff she wasn’t ready for. So when Celestia refused to teach her, Sunset was hurt since she was trying to prove herself worthy in Celestia’s eyes. Maybe she even began to think that Celestia didn’t think she was worthy anymore and that was why she refused to teach her the magic she wanted to learn. Her hurt turned to anger, and her reason for wanting to gain power began to change from a desire to please to greed and to obtaining power for the sake of power.

0 likesI love the animation style/models, they are grat. Good framerate tons of time must have been put into this
0 likesThis is a bit of a mixed bag for me. The story is simple, yet touching, and the visuals in many scenes are genuinely immersive, bringing Equestria a sense of depth and "realness" I haven't seen before. On the other hand, the pacing leads to a weird, detached feeling for the overall plot. Individual scenes also suffer from timing issues, leading to animation and movement that feels "floaty" or "dizzy" in the way many SFM (source film maker) videos do. Still though, it's obvious a huge amount of love and effort went into this, and that shines brighter than any flaws. So... Thank you for sharing! And keep it up!

2 likesSo if Sunset made friends and listened to Celestia... she would have basically took Twilight's spot. Sunset would have been the princess of friendship.

I think Sunset very well could still be actually. Twilight is set to take over Celestia, so she defiantly needs an extra pony to help raise the sun and moon. I doubt the main 6 could do that.
0 likessunset lost her chance to become a princess. also its clear that celestia and luna will still raise the sun and moon; they just won't rule.
0 likesYay! You're back with these awesome animations! I love your take on Sunset's back story, but I wish you kept more to the comic, LOL. Any more Dinky animations coming sometime? Either way, this is awesome and I love your cute art! You're so talented and I need more vids! XD :3
1 likeI never liked the canon backstory for Sunset Shimmer, it's based on a bad notion of what it means to be "evil". This though, it's really beautiful. I like how Celestia is portrayed as the real antagonist in this situation (though if I were to write the tale of Celestia's lost protege I would have her still just have made mistake, and instead change Sunset Shimmer's character), and it stays faithful to Equestia Girl's backstory without being dependent on the end story.
0 likesI wish this would of been in the show. Sunset is one of my favorite characters and I hope they at least have something for her in the final season.

0 likesI love the animation and voice actors you got to voice Celestia and Sunset Shimmer. However, the story itself well it’s good story don’t get me wrong, but it’s hard for me to believe that Sunset Shimmer became evil because Celestia forced her to learn friendship and forbidden her to learn magic. However, I am glad you made own version of the story instead of copying what IDW did with the comic. Creative originality shows you got great potential to be an awesome storyteller. Overall I think you did a fantastic job. Keep up the good work. :)
0 likesHave to say that some of it was mostly Celestia’ s fault, she pretty much forced sunset to go out and friends as an order while banning her from the library until she does so (that’s not who you try to make friends when your being forced to), sunset ddI try but seemed like some were jsut interested in getting close to Celestia’ s personal student

1 likeThe animation style to beautiful and certainly adds to the story being told.
0 likesI also can't imagine how long or difficult was to make something as beautiful and powerful as this, but it certainly shows how much love and care went into this.
This was beautifully done! I only have some complaints.
0 likesSometimes the darkness was too much and I couldn't see some bits at all where it seemed important to have light. In shadows, the characters looked flat when exposed to light, they seem well shaded enough to seem 3-D. I was also not a big fan of Celestia's voice actress, but Sunset's was amazing! Some of the characters looked wonky in shots, their proportions were off and looked out of shape
Freaking amazing. And here I was thinking MLP was past its prime with all the truly great works art in this fandom like Lullaby for a Princess, Double Rainboom, and Snowdrop long since past. You have single handily renewed my faith in this fandom. Thank you. In fact, I'd say the only thing that could really be improved upon would be the voice acting. If you asked, you might be able to get some of the other popular MLP fans that can voice characters well, like Magpie, Scribbler Productions, or maybe even Elliemonty. Your animation is certainly good enough that they might consider it.
0 likesBravissimo. This short was simply WONDERFUL! Everyone involved did an excellent job from the gorgeous animation to the stellar voice acting. Not only does it look like the second FIM movie we never got in terms of quality, but it also offers a different perspective to Sunset's backstory, making us wonder if Celestia was also to blame for her downfall, but still keeping Sunset's ambition to excel as well as her passion for magic. Of course, this doesn't make Celestia the villain of the story either, she is still going through a lot after Luna's banishment.
0 likesOverall, this is my favorite animation from you, Minty. Congratulations to you and the whole crew.
Coming from someone who hasn't read most of the lore (I've only started on Season 6) I can really say this is a very beautiful production
0 likes✓Great animation
✓Great acting, helps carry out the tone and emotion
✓Special effects, very fitting
✓The music and sound effects, on spot
My verdict, this really should be in the Top 10 Pony Videos of March!
This, right here, is what I call pure art. The way the backstory is told just catches you and doesn't let you look away. OMG...I even teared up. These are the kind of things I love the fandom for, the pure and amazing artwork it comes from it. <3 /)
0 likesWow. That was... impressive, and I was expecting a lot. Kudos to everyone who worked on this.
0 likesSo poetic that every scene takes place during sunset, love the symbolism of that... or am I overthinking?
0 likesThe only thing that prevents this from matching the actual show's quality is the lack of comedy.
This is beautifully animated, The lighting was absolutely stunning. Amazing job ♥
0 likesIt's definitely a very different take on her backstory. With the original comic the emphasis was on her ambition to be like Celestia, whereas here it seems to be significantly more innocent, that she tried making friends and it just wasn't working, and Celestia is being painted more as the one at fault.
0 likesI did like that scene of Celestia raising the moon with Luna's face on it after Sunset calls her out on "not having any friends." Very powerful.
How are you so talented?! This is the best animation style and design I have ever seen! This can't get any better! Make sure to remind the voice actors of how good the were! Minty, you just got yourself a new subscriber! This is much better than the animations "The Moon rises" and "Spare" combind!
0 likesOther than the occasionally stilted walk cycle and Celestia's neck being weirdly thin, this is so absolutely amazing.
0 likesCelestia realized halfway through that Sunset was right, and she seemed to push everyone she could call one away.

0 likesI appreciate the work/time were put into this
0 likesIt felt a bit disconnected at times, like I was watching scenes from a trailer rather than a film, the character models felt a little off at times (same problem the movie had), the animation of Celestia flying didn't look that good, the voice acting sounded a bit weird (but maybe that's just me) and maybe the plot could have been handled a bit better. But still, this is very good for a fan animation, the effects look good (even if they do clash a bit with the aesthetic), the music is good and it definitely has a couple of great moments, I particularly liked the ending with Celestia looking at how Spike runs after Twilight and questioning why she didn't do the same.

0 likes"You don't even have Friends"...
0 likesWell, I emphasize too much with Celestia and hearing made me feel Celestia is more lonely than I originally thought. I know many of you know want to teach me that Luna was more lonely than her because we ONLY KNOW LUNA's Side of the Story. We never saw Celestia's Side of their Past. Just because the Ponies celebrated the Sun it doesn't mean that Celestia was happy with it. It's all just Headcannon the Ponies just loved her a Princess with the Ability to rise and set the Sun. And now after she banishing Luna, what she didn't want but Nightmare Moon was an actual Threat, You cannot blame Celestia for wanting to protect her Folk, ruling for 1000 Years alone rising and setting both Sun and Moon but also never had any Friends. Guards only see her as an Idol to protect, Her Students just a Teacher or Mother-Figure but not as a Friend.
And even if it's just my own Headcannon it makes me feel really sad and sorry for Celestia
You have skills, I can barely make a simple water drip without mucking it up! Also the music is amazing.

1 likeAs good as the animation is, your time line is WAY off. You show Celestia looking in on Princess Twilight. This would put it after Season 3 and before Sunset Shimmer returned to Equestria. If this is how it transpired Twilight would have know Sunset but, as we know from the first Equestria Girls movie, Twilight did not know her.(I've still never understood why this is myself because they would have been studying at the same time as they are about the same age, yet she is never mentioned prior to the movie, and the movie doesn't really address how Twilight ~doesn't know her.)

Really well done animation! It seems like a rigging technique? I don't know, but the movements are almost really natural. I really like the who effect with the eye dilation and magic and whatnot. But the irises were a bit wonky, and sometimes the "rigging" effect goes a little haywire. But other than that, I think this animation was done beautifully. This is just some things that I noticed and felt like could be improved on, but please do not feel forced or pressured to take any of these notes into heart. I was just trying to help! I can't wait to see the improvement you'll make when you do more!

0 likeshasbro has too much to learn about this. Its really great, the dark tones, the effects of light, the colors; its really great
0 likesGorgeous animation (Toon Boom Harmony is awesome!) but you lost me in the writing at "that's meant for very highly skilled students." Not only does it throw shade at Sunset for no reason, it implies that cohorts of top students were allowed to touch and (by extension) use it to visit the other world? Celestia would instead have said not even she herself knows what would happen in the mirror and no one is allowed to use it, it's too dangerous.

The animation is a little bit wacky, but the style looks beautiful, the lighting is on point and the voice acting is really well done, also. :) Maybe you should practice on your 3D and the movement of the pans you make (I'm no professional animator, but that's where I saw most glitches)! Good job over all!

1 likeThat was exceptional production. The atmosphere from the very beginning all the way though till the credits was really emotional. Every element from the voice acting, animation, colours and music were so astonishingly well done. The length is so impressive too, it is nearly half an episode.
1 likeThis will be a future classic web fan animation for sure.
Wow! This was such a beautiful re-enactment if the story. The shading and coloring was on point. The style was a perfect mix of the characters personality and other values most viewers desire. I enjoyed this a lot and I guess if you would like any constructive criticism, maybe try perfecting the backgrounds, I think the castle and the towns needed a bit of work but you succeeded in a 10 minute animation so it’s something that can be let passed.
0 likesI enjoyed this a lot and I’m enthusiastic about seeing more from you!
I am in awe. Amazing work, dude. The art is just gorgeous and eye catching, the voice actresses did such a wonderful job. You should be very proud of yourself :)
0 likesThis animation is AMAZING. Wow. Just wow. I'm so happy people still feel Sunset Shimmer is relevant and deserving of a decent backstory. This was great. I love her so much ❤
0 likesThis is gorgeous! The VA for Sunset really stood out, she sounds almost exactly like Rebecca! Celestia was really good too, and you could feel how hurt and heartfelt she was <3 great job!
0 likesLove love loved it. Honestly, half the time I was trying to figure out if it was in 2D or 3D, and the other half was just spent purely enjoying it!! Certainly a contender for the Best Pony Video of the Month, and almost definitely one of the best of 2019. Also, the voice talent was amazing, but the real stand out for me was the amazing music by Radiarc and Seventh Element, who are both awesome at making very atmospheric tracks. Also, even though I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but I thought it was really cool that every time they touched the mirror and you heard the sound of water droplets, the sound was pretty much in tune with the music at that specific moment.
0 likesAll in all, amazing work, Minty! Not only for animating this fantastic video, but also for finding such amazing talent to help you with it. This is a total ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ video. Keep it up!

0 likesThat was amazing! Better than the movie of MLP! I guess now I have a better understanding of how sunset shimmer made an appearance in the other world. And, seeing as she couldn't make friends in Equestria, she manages to break up a friendship in the other world, and at the end, becomes friends and is still learning. Talk about character development!

0 likesIt is a shame that Hasbro is going to end with MLP-FiM. They've said that they will continue with MLP in an other form. Well, changes can be good but I wished that Hasbro would have continued with MLP-FiM but with the quality of the animation as in this video. That would have been so awesome. Anyway, you did more than an awesome job Minty Root. And I am glad that you have picked Sunset Shimmer's story. She is my favorite MLP character. Wubcake doing Sunset's voice was spot on. It almost appears that Rebecca Shoichet herself was in this video. I hope you can do a MLP-EG video as well. Thank you very much Minty Root. You rock!
0 likesWow. For the first time ever, i finally meet someone that made a smooth mlp animation. I really like it

0 likesIn any case this was amazing. I’m glad I came across this :D
Makes me wonder: If Sunset had been able to do what Celestia wanted, Twilight would probably never have met her friends and became a princess because it seems at times as if Twilight is the replacement for Sunset Shimmer.

0 likesnot to mention the movement and the pace in the entire video is weird, way too slow and boring.
the art still super amazing and beautiful
all draw so well, color, lighting, all spectacular.
but the animation still needs way more work to make it less feel unnatural.
using flash help lots in speed as god thx u don't have to go through frames by frames sh anymore but this kill the beautiful nature movement that 2D brings.
well, u have many more chance to learn how to use flash right!
this is overall a well-done work.
not perfect but good.
smooth and stuff but the movement of characters really threw off my hope for this.
love the art though, amazing and skillful!

She is... the only reason she isn't at the end is because it's past that time.
1 likeNow I see why Celestia sent Twilight away. She feared if she restricted privileges such as the library and more advanced magic from her, she would become resentful to Celestia and might’ve gone on the same path as Starlight. Man has Celestia developed so much as a character.

Nothing only what I've seen recently you really shouldn't have to ask Tia.
What did you say you've seen?
Iv'e frequently been watching the same video. The one based from Sunset Shimmer.
Sunset Shimmer?
She was once a student of yours wasn't she?
Yes years ago.... unfortunately she took a dark path. I couldn't help her the way she wanted.
And now you think that taking in Twilight will make up for your failure with your previous pupil?
Celestia was a but rude. .-.
