It's an amazing feat that you made a film this long with this high quality in a single year.

Her Loyal Highness, Princess Rainbow Dash

Fun fact: this comment has more likes then there are comments on this video

@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

@TwinkMaster69  actually i want to make friends cuz I don't have any friends .

@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"

@TwinkMaster69  what do you mean by that .

@Sailendra Widjaya there's this cute thing called getting close to people <br>try it before asking

@Sailendra Widjaya there's this cute thing called getting close to people

I'm expecting a video on this animation sometime soon ;]


"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.

And the same thing will happen to twilight sparkle

@Chase Langlands In the episode Horse Play of season 8, Celestia did mention she has friends.

@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.

Bruh I like your interpretation! Propel should not be too off with Celestia. She's a ruler, duties first.

@FishermanChannel   Ok, but why is this funny for me? XD

Writers said Twilight won’t outlive her friends.

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.

@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!!!!!!!!!

Dang, this is why you shouldn't be immortal-

And all the fancy ponies seem to be close to her

this just makes me think about how seriously depressed twi is gonna be after her friends pass...

Where is it shown that Celestia had friends, I never saw that in season 8?

@FishermanChannel that... that is savage

now theres like 4 more Alicorns to hang out with. Celestia is not alone anymore

I just hope that Twilight didn't suffer the same fate as Celestia.

SS:You're a hypocrite, you don't even have friends!<br>C: Oh, I have friends! Two full graveyards of friends!

SS:You're a hypocrite, you don't even have friends!
C: Oh, I have friends! Two full graveyards of friends!

I'm sorry I just imagined you saying all this to Sunset but in my head, you ended it with "you little shit" haha oops

@🍒 colby i agree with ya on that one too buddy

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. ;-;

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

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?


“You’re a hypocrite! You don’t even have friends!”

That cuts so deep.

“They only have themselves to blame, if you’d been there, you’d do the same!”

@yuki BuenaCruz Sunset doesn't have friends celestia doesn't have any either that mean celestia is a hypocrite

@The Lion Alex 1 That's why in First Equestria Girls movie Celestia said that Sunset is caling the paralel world "Home" <br>She had to stay there long enough...

@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...

@Fersho Of course. Give it a path. Let her go. Send her to Ponyville. Let him leave dusty books for friends. The start of MLP.

@The Lion Alex 1 so Celestia Learned from that mistake making twilight have Friends before she turned into another sunset? Isn't?

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.

Well she has Fur de Lise and other ponies of who names I don’t know

it's true, she has like no friends outside of... well her sister whom she banished for 1000 years and a student she hardly sees.


"You must make friends!"

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.

she honestly seemed more sassy, but i still enjoyed the video

I mean it’s been working so why wouldn’t she require it...

@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

Well she would be aware that it's vital to the elements of harmony by this point, yeah?

She got obsessed with saving her sister and forced it too hard instead of gently leading Sunset into her destiny like she did with Twilight.


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.

yeah, something sunset never could do- i would cry if i heard news like that. prolly every night


There are no words to describe how breath-taking this really is. BRAVO!

You are exactly right I feel the same way btw love your videos 😍 big fan of your work

Eyyy, hello there. Haven't I seen you before ;3

Wow I love it can u do a Luna one maybe?


Sunset: you don’t even have friends!!

Me: no no no she’s got a point

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

@Jennifer Cuxvelasquez Alicorns Die eventually too

i am just sad that sunset has left the castle

@Weeping Zer0 I don’t think twilight had become her protege by the time sunset left her

Celestia wouldnt have friends because shes immortal.

She would have to watch them die before her own ey-

OH NO POOR TWILIGHT!

If you dont understand: (Twilights an alicorn so she would have to watch all her friends die.)


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


I like the implication that Sunset is destined for greatness through her wanting to raise the sun. like, it's in her name.

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

She is called Sunset. Maybe she was destined to lower the sun.


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.  <br>Ps: Sunset's my most favorite aside from Rainbow Dash,  and Starlight is a close third

You can figure out the fundamentals of magic, but a single friendship is hard for you?!

That line hit me...
SWEET CELESTIA, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS LIKE!!

@Terminator 156 This was BEFORE she became bitter.

But in Equestria Girls Sunset was spoiled and wanted to be princess in this video it seems different.

That is why she changed.<br>She didn't want to make the same mistake with Twilight.

That is why she changed.
She didn't want to make the same mistake with Twilight.


Just want to say: This is absolutely beautiful.

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.

Celestia: "Friendship isn't easy Sunset."

Also Celestia: "You can figure out magic, but not simple friendship?"

Um..didn't you just say it wasn't easy? XD

Celestia: "Friendship isn't easy Sunset."

Also Celestia: "You can figure out magic, but not *simple* friendship?"

Um..didn't you just say it wasn't easy? XD

ORRRR celestia didn’t wNt the same thing happening to twilight

Well to fair unless she stays as guest there was no place to stay.

@Nyx_Unknown She didn't want to make the same mistake she did with Sunset to Twilight.

Because Twilight knows how to troll a licious!

or she learned from her mistake that forceful ultimatums do not force people to grow and in some situations make them feel cornered and volatile.

I love twilight more but I’m not Celestia but I believe she is just being cautious as she wouldn’t want to lose twilight as she lost sunset

@Chloe Wong ty and sorry again have a good time 💕😊

@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 😞🙏

@Amy rosalie not everyone knows everything about this show. If people get it wrong then just explain. Why so rude?

@Amy rosalie uk instead of calling me dumb and giving me no explanation or proof whatsoever, u could have just explained.

@Shimmer Code thx for telling me this. Instead of acting rude like Mila chan nightcore.

i see that as celestia realizing her mistakes

@Chloe Wong actually it is real it's based of that idw comic

Maybe she decided she made a mistake with Sunset and didn't want to repeat it by banning Twilight from something she loves?

Or it's called she realized she was wrong

@OatmealGoat yea but this is just an animation by some random person. There's only like 0.00001℅ that it's actually accurate

@Chloe Wong we dont know that though. We never saw what happened to SS

Twilight's deserve that she is Celestia's favorite😎

@Chloe Wong yeah but <b>cmm07</b> is so rude

I expect it was Celestia changing her attitude after learning her lesson with Sunset.

Well she learned her lesson and she doesn't want to make it again.

I think it's just a representation of Celestia learning from her mistakes.

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

It’s sad how she makes sunset feel bad about how she can do magic but not figure out how to make friends

Twilight littlerey spend her entire life in canterlot libary and then in ponyvill libary and then in a carsel ! What again have a giant liaberey !

She made a mistake and changed it for the future.<br>You make a mistake and you try not to make it again what's wrong with learning

She made a mistake and changed it for the future.
You make a mistake and you try not to make it again what's wrong with learning

it is possible that celestia changed her course of action, wanting to avoid another upset and powerful student.

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.

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.


Sunset: How do I make friends?
Celestia: You talk, you just BECOME friends
lol. Ok. Great description.

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.

What did you expect from Celestial? She’s a princess.

Makes Sunset's downfall more understandable and easier to put into perspective.


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 <:)

@Sukha Maya Nalbo congratz, you're learning emoticons.

I have realised, >: is sad and displeased and :( is also sad and displeased while <: is happy and this :) is also happy-

Celestia: "Friendship isn't easy Sunset."
Also Celestia: "You can figure out magic, but not simple friendship?"

Um..didn't you just say it wasn't easy? XD

Celestia: "Friendship isn't easy Sunset."
Also Celestia: "You can figure out magic, but not *simple* friendship?"

Um..didn't you just say it wasn't easy? XD

@Monty Du Bois yep! :) that's what my comment was meant to point out, lol.


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


The way you made the mirror like a pool of water is so incredible!!!

Really that’s a pool of water?? At first I just thought ‘why is it so fuzzy’

Bluestreak Blazes it looks just like the moon pool from warrior cats


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.


The way light is used in this animation is absolutely mesmerizing.


The actors do the voices perfectly. Your work is genius. I wish you can put together a piece where Sunset reunites with Princess Celestia.


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!


When the fans make a better movie then the creators

@•Eremika• U3U Oh, yeah. Thanks for correcting me.

The show was only made to sell toys.
Hasbro is a toy company.
I loved Equestria Girls and the storm King one.
I don't get why people don't like it.

well because this is more of a project than a whole 9-season show. even this whole thing took a year, how could they make one episode like this XD

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

What <b>I</b> thought the mlp movie was good

@Abriana Andrews my knowledge about anime/carton series.
Anime/carton: 19%
Manga: 1%
Fanfics/animations/pmv songs: 80%

@Saifullah Habid oh, I liked that one too.

@lemonballs I'm talking about  the mlp movie about the storm king bruh

@Saifullah Habid ...Equestria Girls is my favourite movie AND favourite childhood movie...

WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY ABOUT THE FIRST FILM?!

lorenzo stortoni yea,they do,they need to

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

No its not this creator is the <b>WORST!</b>

@Caroline DiSalvatore that is because we know what we want so we make what we want

That’s what I’ve been thinking the whole time watching this 😂

It looks like the my little pony the movie animation style

Congrats, you now have 1k likes. Your welcome.

Saifullah Habid Yeah that’s kinda much of the fandom in general where a lot headcanons and fan fictions are a little better than the show itself

@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.

After season 1, I found that most fan material was far better than the actual canon. After season 1, I've been picky about which episodes I've watched

Hasbro: What. The. Fuck?! We have to hire this guy.


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.


1:57

I can’t help but find how cute her curiosity is when she walks over to the portal and pokes her hoof at the mirror.


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. <br>Y'all are awesome.

Every time I watch this video, I’m completely blown away by how well animated it is. This has to be the best animation ever for My Little Pony.


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.

She has friends, they were just already dead that time. Only alicorns live long enough for other alicorns to be friends with

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.

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.

what about queen novo and so .. maybe celestia has friends.. but Royal friends like well normal Royals do ..

My friends are just a bunch of crazy nuts  that either betray me in the end,or they don't listen to what I have to stay. I need to find real friends.

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.

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.

Well, she is immortal, so she is saving herself from the heartache. Btw, I also struggle with making friends.

She technically only  Luna is about  the only friend she has

@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.

@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

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.

Guys... they are cartoon horses, as much as your constructive critism is gracious, calm down..

That’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.

Why should you be expected to have friends, some people dont really need friends

Yes, but I have a thought that I want to share,

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. 😅

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.

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.

Celestia will outlive her friends, possibly get them killed, she simply cannot afford to.

That's why she sent Twilight away and didn't try to teach it to her herself

Yeah. Celestia was saying the wrong things which only lead Sunset on the wrong path

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.

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.

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.

@Christine <br>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

@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

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)


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. 😊

Love how it's both versions of Moondancer.

@crafty universe. It's literally both versions of Md in the class.

No it's her sister too in the right side


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.

This version may be better than the comic.

@Minty Root Not "Aqua Teen Hunger Force"! 😩💀💀

@Minty Root you have to be the best maker ever

@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 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.

@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.

and amazing music made by radiac. One of the greatest mlp music composer

Hey at least the voice actors who did the comic did well and the artist too

The animation and art style is better than the Celestia be damned show

Nope it is better than the series and equal as the movie

+Zane<br>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.

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.<br>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.

CR34T0R No offense to Minty Root, but she could have at least made all of canterlot look a lot bigger and beautiful like from the 2017 Feature Film.

CR34T0R  Well, the dialogue could have been written better. But other then that, this is a great animation!

I love how Sunset calls out Celestia in this.


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.<br>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.

That’s my constructive criticism


Absolutely incredible animation. Words cannot describe how good this is.


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! <b>:D</b>

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"?

How about the moon rise, lullaby for the princess Xd (just saying, i respect ya oppinion)

I can’t choose this or lullaby or the fall of crystals empire😑

Lullaby for a princess, one of the or the best animation of MLP out there


Very well made, a prologue that should had  been canon.


This animation is beautiful. It even rivals the amazing quality of the movie's animation.


The background visuals, the relaxing music and the smooth animation are top notch.<br>All I have to say is congratulations to the fans who made it!

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.


Que trabajo tan más increíble, tu animación es hermosa en su totalidad ❤


Another piece of fan content that took me later than sooner to finally watch...

This is deserving of being up there with the most legendary of fan works outta the community and must be preserved.


Right up there with Lullaby For A Princess for one of the best animations this fandom has ever produced.

Also Dont forget The Children of the Night and Snowdrop by Silly Filly

Don’t forget The Moon Rises! That one belongs way up on the list


Even after G4's finale had come to past on October 12th, 2019.

Minty Root is one of several notable fandom creators out there that helps keep the spirit of MLP: Friendship Is Magic alive.


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)


The animation is so gorgeous! I totally noticed how their pupils change in size when in the light and dark. :D


you can see the realization in Celestia's eyes when Spike runs after Twilight 'oh, thats what i should have done when sunset went through'


The use of 3D in this is better than the actual movie... lol

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 think it was there first time using it like that though

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 CG in the movie is not only bad it’s laughably bad

I was thinking the same thing! This is much better then the movie -3-

dreaming meming she isn’t wrong you know

Didn’t expect you to be here. Are you a brony?

@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.

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 Eh, Lullaby For A Princess and The Moon Rises would beg to differ.

This looked a bit less natural, and there were no complex animations here. But it was really nice for a fan animation.

They need someone like this guy, or maybe use something like the source engine.

Looks the same to me just different shading and I’m pretty hasbro can pull of animation like this

that airship in the movie looked like PS1 graphics so yea


How did they find such amazingly fitting, and talented voice actors?


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.


This was...beyond words to describe how incredibly well made.

Seeing this, I was afraid Sunset was going to pull a Nibelheim incident here.


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


I had to take a double-take to see this was fan-made 🤩😱
This is literally amazing and absolutely gorgeous!

It looks like a better quality version of the movie. This is such an inspiration for the animation community! 🤩


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.


I think this was really well done. The eye movement was a bit odd and I think Celestia was a bit out of character but other than that it was great.

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.


This is amazing! The animation quality is close to that of a movie!


"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.


Positively enthralling and captivating!  You clearly have a talent for this sort of thing.


I love that the animator recreated an iconic scene (Twilight and the Mirror) in their own style. Its freakin cool!


This is so sad, sometimes I'm too scared to watch it. I feel like Sunset is me


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 is a GREAT movie! I love Sunset Shimmer and really gives us an idea of what happened before.


When a fan animation has a billion times better quality than the show it's self:

Also, even now you are still very underrated, even if you have 71k you deserve more.


I loved it...
Your vision of what happened before Equestria Girls with that Dark and more serious tone makes it a masterpiece
Congratulations


It's funny. The actual series never reached this level of cinematics or storytelling, not even in the 2017 film. This is incredible.


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


The shadows
The sunlight
The echoes
It’s amazing ❤


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.


This is beautifully animated, well done!


Sunset: Can't raise the sun
Me: I know your problem! You're Sunset! You need to lower the sun, not raise it! Man, I'm smart!

Sunset: *Can't raise the sun*
Me: I know your problem! You're Sunset! You need to lower the sun, not raise it! Man, I'm smart!


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.


Amazing animation!

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.

@AlzMarioWolfe Comics aren't actually canon, dude. Try again.

@Tara Stanojevic Actually, Forgotten Friendship pretty much wipes the comic version of the story out of existence.

Nate Jones Yep, that’s where I found it too.

Nate Jones You don’t need to purchase it, just google it and it’ll be there.

Tara Stanojevic I think I replied to the wrong person then.

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.

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.<br>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

@AlzMarioWolfe but Angelicstardom said that the comic Celestia was patient and im sure you didnt read

You clearly didn’t read the comic version if you think Celestia actually acts like this, come on. Wise up.

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.

i have to agree, and especially with the episode in which twilight forces moondancer to make friends in the same way

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.


The rare quality content on this freakin platform..<br>Thank you guys for all the efforts! This is breathtaking!!

Thank you guys for all the efforts! This is breathtaking!!


How have I not seen this until now?! This is absolutely gorgeous!


The animation is so beautiful! For a moment I forgot this is actually fanmade!


Oh my gosh, this animation’s so GOOD! This is probably one of my favorite MLP fan animations!


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.


It has so much detail, Such good animation.And it gives me a 2D 3D style vibe


Really nice to see some good stuff made with the toon boom. Superb work.


An interesting take on how she fell before EG. Great work on the animation, loved it.


When your teacher forced you to have friends...

But you are an Anti-social type.

@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.

That’s the problem with my teachers, closet friends that say “you should make some other friends” and my mother :’)

@bxbbly 💭 Then don't smile.<br>If you act happy everybody will think you are fine and come to you.

@bxbbly 💭 Then don't smile.
If you act happy everybody will think you are fine and come to you.

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.

Yeah i would play by myself and my techers got wored and cept telling me I had to make friends

Kīt§ųňə Æftəřđəæťh

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.

@ًSomething with Bungalow ikr, sometimes i almost look fake with the smile i put on my face, in all reality im terrified of a strangers presence

Caitlin C. Sometimes I have to force myself to be nice. It’s hard.

@{ 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

Karolina what’s the difference ? I’m just curious

Asocial and antisocial are two different things.


As someone who read the comic, this is a pretty good adaptation.


This popped up in my recommended for some reason. Did not disappoint. It was animated beautifully and just overall a wonderful short film. Poggers!


How is this better than the show? The quality of the animation is amazing!


me: my brony phase is over<br>this animation: what were you saying?

me: my brony phase is over
this animation: what were you saying?

im in love with my own sins not tragedies

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 thought so too

Apparently, being a brony never is over. I realised that when I cried like a baby after watching this.

You can't abandon the herd. Resistance is futile


Wow, I’m not a huge MLP fan, but this animation is gorgeous!


There’s some really good attention to detail here. 1:25-1:27 has some really nice pupil dilation! Great job!


I absolutely loved the credits. The music goes great with the outro.


<b>Me literally crying over the animation</b> : what did the world do to deserve this master piece!!!!!

*Me literally crying over the animation* : what did the world do to deserve this master piece!!!!!


I would love to see Queen Chrysalis's Back story.

@Voldy356 I mean when it all started and how Queen Chrysalis became this way.

What's so special about Chrysalis' back?

Too bad we’re probably not gonna get to see much like of lot of other character backstories in the show

I get the feeling she and sombra share a backstory.. Like they used to be normal royals but sadly needed up corrupted

I want to see Celestia go into the mirror :O

If we went based on the comics we'd need the team from Stranger Things, it's pretty messed up.

Starswirl: Doodly do, just dumping my magic toxic waste under this here graveyard...


I still find this beautiful as hecc, the style is so satisfying~<br>Although my only real critic is that Celestia's VA feels too serious at a number of points...

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.


Just about the animation, seriously, if there's ever an MLP RPG game, I'd vote for this animation.


I love how this is so detailed. Especially Celestia


This was amazing. I love the animation style!


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''


The graphic is pretty good. It looks like the My Little Pony: The Movie artstyle. ☺


Juro que amo ésta animación desde el fondo de mi corazón...


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


This is very well done!!! It's so nice to look at


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.


Me encanto el diseño artístico está perfecto 👌🏻


This is so amazing. The animation is beautiful!!


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

😭😭😭😭😭 That's the most truthful way to put it


Absolutely impressed with this animation. Well done 👍😁👍❤🍦🍰🍵🇺🇸🌅🌎!!! Keep up the good work.


Siempre quise saber como se desarrolló lo de sunset, el video esta genial.


this is so amazing, this is honestly better than the entire equestria girls movie


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!

hi I'm Lily  Faing a wolf you boy or she

hi I'm Lily  Faing a wolf you boy or she


It gets better every time I watch it. Was so glad to be a part of this. ^^


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 😃😃


this is incredible! the designs are out of this world!


This style of animation would've been a perfect transition between G4 and G5's styles.


This is an extremely  well done animation  I'm not even in to the show that much any more but very good job


Your effects is really good and you did amazing. Especially on the harmony one. (:


Never was a fan of Equestria Girls but watching this Sunset is now one of my favorites


Oh my god.

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.

Keep going!

Cookie Sparklez it’s called giving criticism

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.

@Moira Palace I think everything is fine  - > -

Well, well, it seems like Princess Luna knows she’s in a cartoon. This just turned meta

Especially whoever is voicing Princess Celestia. If she spoke a little louder and clearer, she'd be on point.


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 <b>poco tiempo ANTES</b> que Twilight. Aunque el Flashback está muy bonito y muy bien animado, tiene ese enorme hueco argumental

This was so beautiful and touching. The animation was better than the movies in my opinion. Please keep making animations like this. It's amazing!!!!


I highly believe that Sunset is an introvert, hardly going outside making friends and staying inside and studying support this in my opinion.


the lighting in this animation is absolutely gorgeous


This is so gorgeously animated.. I have no words..


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


great animation very well done loved the added effect with the dust


This is going right up there with Lullaby for a Princess and the Moon Rises.

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.

Why do all the good animations revolve around the royal sisters? 😂

Anthony Clay I definitely agree with that


5:58 That line sounds almost like the villain of the Bumblebee movie when she saw Charlie trying to remove the transmitter power source.


And this is one of the most amazing Mlp animations I had ever watched!! 🤩


The animation is so frickin' good! I love it! It's like a short movie, but better in all movies I'd watched!


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.

Great animation, by the way!


The animation reminds me the movie itself especially how smooth this animation is.

I absolutely love this.


Whoever voiced sunset did a really good job! Sounds just like her


I like how instead of going in herself,  she sends one of her students.  XD


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.<br>This part was deep

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.


When this plot makes more sense then the movie's


this film had no right to be this good amazing job!


This is so awesome. Wish there was a real movie all about Sunset Shimmer's early days and ending when were Equestria Girls started.


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.


I feel like this could’ve been really good had the script been thought out a little more


Wow! I never knew how beautiful the animation is!!!


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


If this was a scene from a movie, I would definitely watch it


Shit dude, I haven't watched MLP in years, but this animation is INCREDIBLE. mad props


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


THE ANIMATION IS EVEN BETTER THAN THE ACTUAL SHOW!! 😭

yeah, but it took longer time for making this than the actual show


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!


I’m glad this video gets very serious and important than the actual movie or comic because of funny or slapstick.


"So now the only thing standing between me and Equestria's true destiny...is you."


This was amazing!!! I LOVED it soo much!! It was very enjoyable! :D


This was one of those rare times where I actually formed tears around the corner of my eyes.


The animation of this is amazingly beautiful


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?"<br>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.

I know, when Celestia says that it sounds like she is making fun of Sunset


Bro the ending got my emotional... the scenery settings lighting all so beautiful... the eyes so expressive... STUNNING


Lo adoré muchoooo💕 es un trabajo impecable y me encantó cada segundo de la animación


The animation alone puts this miles ahead of the movie


I wish the show got further into this sort of thing! You did an amazing job of displaying the more deep subjects the show failed to give us.

The writers followed the typical kids show trope and unfortunately the fans have to make up for that.

What do you expect from a toy commercial?

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.

Well, it was originally made for kids soooo...


The animation was beautifull. And the story was heartbreaking. A beutiful masterpiece


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!!

Edit: YOU MADE THIS IN A YEAR?? Damn


This is probably biggest proof of my theory that the shorter the animation is, the more likely it is better.


I love this, I wish it was in the original run, it would have oput Sunset Shimmer into perspective.


The animation is beautiful. The voicing is descent. And the story fits quite well.


Everytime I watch  this I become so entranced, I cannot beleave that 10min go by so fast.<3 Outstanding work


Majestic Animation. Marvelous Soundtrack, and that is the best new MLP Style like a real movie.


I'm speechless. This will go down in brony history as one of the highest quality videos ever made.


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'm not sure if this is just a theory or what actually happened, but either way, it makes so much more sense now

Nah this is based of a mlp comic so I assume this is cannon


You do really good on animating and this story is cool!


I wonder if Celestia was secretly trying to train Sunset to take her place one day until things went wrong...


I haven't seen something this good since Lullaby for a Princess, and The Moon Rises.


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


This might actualy be better animation than the original my little pony! Wow


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)


I'm not exactly a fan of EQG, but WOW, that was just stunning! The lighting and special effects in this are pure breathtaking.


When fans are better storytellers than the creators 💖💖💖💖


Nice. I see the fan creations have come a long way since I was last interested in MLP (well... before my interest was reignited recently).

@balls It's curious that for both of us it happened after the MLP more or less ended.

yeah but these probably take a long time to make, and my interest has been reignited too


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<br>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!

I am still wondering why nobody has hired this person to a film animation crew thingy.


If only this was Canon this would have for so well with the Fim timeline apart from sunset being evil.


Shhh... can you hear that?

It’s the Disney animators crying

PLEASE STOP PLEASE PLEASE DISNEY ANIMATORS

Disney crying that this is better than its own products??  OOOOOHHH... HAPPY DAY!!

The Docters say ive gone deaf. I dont hear anything but im still traumatised from the experience. How are you guys all doin' ?

This looks more like a DreamWorks film than a Disney Film.

@MysticalLily312 there screams kept me up all night last night. There getting louder...


Do you see how Selestia uses the mirrow as a calender?<br>In the movie its mentiond that the portal just opens once a 100 moons(i think)

the animation quality is better then the actual show


"you dont even have friends!"

i mean she has a point


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


This is literally better animation quality than the movie had. My god.

It’s good for what it is, but it’s not animated better than the movie. The movements in this video just look..off and weird.

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.

Armada <br>It was good animation, and you are right, but just not movie quality.

Armada
It was good animation, and you are right, but just not movie quality.

@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.

Armada<br>What?? How? Did you watch a different vid than me?

Armada
What?? How? Did you watch a different vid than me?


Although it’s a really great film, half of it was so dark I could barely see anything even with my phone screen brightness all the way up 😐


I like this backstory<br>And the animation is amazing as well as the graphics

Es oficial??? Si es animación propia, te quedo increíblemente perfecto, incluso me hiciste recordar las caricaturas de los 90s cuando eran mas oscuras,


This is really good job for hobby. I'm so happy that see it again... Great job!


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.

Some people don't ever get lucky though.


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


Omg this is so good! I could never draw like this or animate! Its just so good 😍


Celestia: I tried to help her... but only succeeded in driving her away.😔

And them she became  a bad human villain

And them she became  a bad human villain


The music of this film reminds me a lot of the ones from "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald".


It's amazing!!! It looks so "animeistic "


Fantastic...truly fantastic. Easily one of the best MLP Fan videos ever.


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


I.. LOVE THE DETAIL AND QUALITY OF THIS😭

I may not be familiar to it or really is used to it but the animation thingy and story is good


Why couldn't the real my little pony be like this this is awesome

Because it's a show for little girls lol, love discord though


Wow this animation is so beautifully made


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.<br>Effects and coloring is good tho. Also the designs of the characters.

I just wanted to say, as a big Sunset Shimmer fan, this is truly one of the best animations I've ever seen! Fantastic job ❤❤😊


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


I love this film. Looks like I got this film a long long time ago.


6:22 - This teleportation spell loks gorgeous!


this is absolutely amazing the animation is movie quality. i'm glad there are still animators out there willing to still make ponies great.


wow, just wow, I'm speechless, this is just amazing!


i guess you want to call it..<br>sunset's last shimmer

i guess you want to call it..
sunset's last shimmer

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.


Well, you should have been running the animation the whole time. I know it takes time but this is really smooth.


This was really good!!! The animation really reminded me of the 2017 movie


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


Holy shit this animation is beautiful oh my god. This is truly amazing and I'm not even three minutes in. Thank you for this gorgeous animation.


This animation is what i expected from the My Little Pony movie, How did you pull it off so much better then hasbro. D:<br>Now can you adapt King Sombra's story from the comics to a animation <3

King Sombra's story in this art form would actually make me cry

Yes! That would be amazing to see King Sombra's story animated like this. :D


Wow I guess toon boom isn’t that bad after all. The animation is amazing.


Great story before 1st movie Equestria Girls! Amazing 3D animation. 👏👍


Dude, Celestia sounds so nervous and uncertain while explaining how to make friends.<br>She has no friends either.

I barely remember anything about my little pony but goddamn these fanmade films are amazing


Is it sad that I liked the animation in this more then the actual mlp series 😂


Your animation is way better then mine! That's for sure!


"You're a hypocrite! You don't even have friends!"

Me: o_o Yikes. That is some line to say to the one who teaches you.

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.

@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.

@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!

I would get mad too. The library is my favorite place to be but socializing is just as important.

Never thought of it like that, though is/was it really true?

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.  <br>            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.

Hey, but it’s true. Celestia is a huge hypocrite

ESPECIALLY TO A PRINCESS CUZ DAM (like the meme daaaamn!)

Celestia is still much nicer, and she does know about it. She is just a little rusty.

@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?

@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.

Yeah I think she should've made equestria love her sister also then she wouldn't need to use both their magic..

yea but... I mean even tho she is the queen she is being selfish like saying disobeying me or bla bla bla. Sunset was right


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!


Celestia's good but I think Sunset looks cuter


Happy people are still animating mlp i LOVE IT


This was awesome. It was an honor to be a part of this! ^^ Thanks again Minty! Was absolutely beautifully animated! ^^


Awesome video Love 💕 the details in it and all the graphics to 20 stars ✨👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻


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.


Whoah when did the mlp movie sequel trailer come out?<br>Seriously this is movie quality! So beautiful

Whoah when did the mlp movie sequel trailer come out?

I thought this was the short movie from hasbro


you made me cry with your animations you do an excellent work keep going!


well celestia... sunset was right. you even has banned your sister! cause of that you couldn´t use the elements of harmonie correct.


This animation design is 10x better then the original one <br>And that's saying something 😑😅

Your skill level is so high, i look up to you, keep up the good work!


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.


There are no words for how incredibly well done this is.  Fantastic job, Minty.


This is amazing, but the characters look kind of awkward in the scene set to the present


Sunset Shimmer is just the Equestrian Girls equivalent of Starlight Glimmer lmao


It sounds like someone is constipating at 8:38 😂 Other than that, great job on the animation 👍


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
