"I'm not tearingup...No way. The show is never gonna do that to me"

Famous last words.

And we know what happened when that book closed in The Last Problem...


To this day, “Lullaby for a Princess” remains one of the best animations that the fandom has created. You’d be surprised what the MLP fandom is capable of when it comes to making amazing content, trust me.😉

NSK Yes, that one’s amazing as well, one of my favorites even.


Lullaby for a Princess is even more impressive when you take into account that it was animated frame by frame. No skeletons, no rigs, no shortcuts. It took literal years to complete.

@@JJ_Approvesif I remember right it was about a year and a half to two years of work,

@@netherhobbit Wow !! Actually that’s wild


"I'm not tearing up. This show won't do that to me"

Snowdrop, many episodes of MLP, and the finale of the series: We'll see about that.

Also, the Lullaby for a princess animation took 3 years, so that's why it turned out so well

Him crying in the finale was so relatable


"My first fan thing from this fandom"
- Cupcakes HD

me: oh no

Voltorb1993 Oh, don’t get us started on Smile HD. Saw it once and never went back again.

I said the exact same thing XD. First fan thing and it's arguably one of the most disturbing fan animations there is XD

Cupcakes HD is on the good side of the fandom…….


>sees Cupcakes HD in the title
Oh no, not this again...

But yeah, I guess this selection is a great example of how ponies attract every kind of people.


With just these four videos, you can get a good perspective of how diversely creative this fandom is. From Gore to Drama to Music to Random and everything between and beyond.


To add some context, that first animation, "Cupcakes HD," is based on what is probably the most infamous MLP fanfic out there: "Cupcakes." The story begins as any typical MLP episode would: Rainbow Dash arrives at Sugar Cube Corner to help Pinkie bake some cupcakes. Shortly after she arrives, however, Pinkie drugs her, and when RD awakens, she finds herself strapped to a table in a dark room that is covered in various body parts and organs re-purposed as party decorations. Pinkie appears before her wearing a dress made out of skinned pony cutie marks, several unicorn horns made into a necklace, and multiple pegasus wings sewn onto the dress. The rest of the story details Rainbow's visceral dissection by Pinkie, who reveals to RD that she always uses ponies' organs as ingredients in her cupcakes, and the reason RD is the next one to get sliced up is because "her number came up," implying that Pinkie has a raffle that she uses to choose who next to dissect when she runs out of organs to use. The story ends with RD slowly dying at the hooves of Pinkie. This, and Rainbow Factory, are by far the most infamous fanfics of the Brony fandom. The latter can be found on Fimfiction if you dare to read it.


Undeniably, Lullaby for a Princess is one of several notable fan animations that soars figuratively and literally. Something that is definitely on par with the actual show (or perhaps outranks it). Can’t express how much more it was to look back on!

Realizing what she had done, it was a fate Celestia tearfully regrets.


Whenever I'm sad or I want to laugh I come to see your reactions to these fan videos, especially this one and where Smile is, and it lifts my mood immediately. Your reactions make me laugh so much. Priceless! ❤💪


Ponybro: "It's almost enough to make a grown man cry! . . . but not this man! Get back in there, tear!" 😂


This fandom makes a lot of crazy animations & songs that would blow your mind.


“This show is never gonna do that to me”         😂


Yeah, this was a nice little display of the wide range of content the fandom has made, from grimdark random gore stuff, to beautiful pieces of art, to show-quality animation, and just random funny stuff.


In Lullaby, note that when Celestia uses the Elements, not only does her hair change, the tip of her horn is broken.  It happens during the beam-battle, and you can see it on older Celestia at the beginning and end of the song.


This has been the strangest assortment of videos I feel you could have watched in a row


I'm so sorry about Cupcakes HD. Hope you don't have nightmares lol

Lullaby for a Princess is just pure eye and ear candy. Theres a sort of sequel to it, but you need to see at least 4 episodes in to Season 2 before watching it. I'll link it when the time comes. :)

Picture Perfect Pony, as well as hundreds of other fan animations are made with the same animation program that is used for the actual show, that being "Adobe Flash" hence why it looks so identical. :)

Celestia being deep is just tons of fun, in my reaction to that I burst out laughing the moment I saw her fucking arm twitch at the speed of light with that music playing. XD

Fantastic reactions! Well worth me staying awake to see them. Now I must sleep! Good night sir!

Really you put him to watch Cupcakes HD for the first fanwork reaction?

Lol hi burningaxe. Hope the project is going well lol


It took Warpout almost four years to make Lullaby for a Princess.

@@ponybroiguess384  Yeah I forgot why a lot of it took him so long really.

Probably because each frame had to be hand-drawn (or painted).


Before going into more Fan works, be sure to confirm with users that there are no spoilers in them, because just the glimpse of certain characters would reveal too much.

Also, be cautious with thumbnails too.

The Black Queen yeah Brony Burning Axe sent me these vids and promised no spoilers, so he’s my filter

PonyBro I Guess Sounds good! But if you get any requests from anyone else, ask them for verification just in case.


Him now: This show will never make me cry. Ok, maybe a little but no more than this.<br>"How the Magic of Friendship Grows" song: Allow me to introduce myself 😏

"How the Magic of Friendship Grows" song: Allow me to introduce myself 😏


The brony fandom is amazing we have so many artist singers and animators that make wonderful content trust me you will be surprised.


Yeah, Cupcakes HD is a brief summary of the events of the fanfiction. Cupcakes itself goes into some very gory detail. It's one of the most notorious things to ever come out of any fandom ever. Reading it made me feel uneasy for a day or so.

Lullaby for a princess, like a lot of other fan works, surprise me in just how good they look. Some of these things look better than the actual show.

PMV stands for pony music video. And yes, you are correct about what plot means.

I think you summed up Celestia being Deep. "What am I watching?"

There's plenty of fan videos. This doesn't even scratch the surface. Hope you continue to enjoy.


Whoever did this animation did a good job. Also, good one is Luna's song come little children.


Never say never... The show has moments that will make you teared up a bit.<br>Actually it was the first time I watched the latter 2, I liked them two, can't believe I haven't seen them before.

12:31 I get it. I also have two sisters and honestly it’s okay to get invested in the song on a deeper level than just a casual listening experience. The lyrics are very profound since it is what I would call the “Broadway” treatment of the Pilot episode of G4. Also, it has somewhat of a “Disney” quality entertainment with regards to the animation and vocal performance.


WOW!  Good going Burning Axe, you gave him both the absolute darkest side of the fandom AND the most beautiful.  /)  Lullaby was the song/animation that made me realize there was something more to this show than just a toy commercial.


That was a great selection of fan animations to begin with, good job BronyBurningAxe. Can’t wait for more reactions to fanmade content, but you need to watch more episodes before you can go to them, because they would spoil you on coming things.


Lullaby for a Princess is a big part of me because it was the one that got me interested in the fandom and why i'm in the fandom right now. Im not the type to get into fan stuff because i find it weird and a waste of time but the MLP fandom changed my perspective so technically speaking my first fandom was about MLP and i'm not complaining :)

Just to add, i like how they depicted celestia's hair, in this animation, as a scar. Just like hair, you can't just cut it down and expect it to disappear forever, it will grow back over and over again. You just have to live with it and keep moving forward.

pony bro: I'm not tearing up this shows never gonna do it to me
Also pony bro: straight up crying during the series finale

Oh hey fellow trans, I am trans and in the same fandom I think? :) you FtM?


I think your reaction to lullaby for a princess is my favorite


If you’re still insecure about those acronyms, yes, in the Brony fandom Please is for pony (Pony Music Video). And AMV is an Animated Music Video, but is still referee to as a PMV (pony) in this fandom. In other fandoms however, a PMV is a Picture Music Video, so a song with a video made of pictures. The camera may pan from one side of the picture to the next, words may appear with the lyrics of the song, and it may have animated transitions. As long as there are no actual video clips added, it is still a PMV (picture).<br>Seeing I was familiar with both, this really confused me when I started watching MLP videos on YouTube.

I haven't heard Picture Perfect Pony in years, and yes PMV is Pony Music Video, similar to AMV being Anime Music Video.


Lullaby for a princess lyrics

Fate has been cruel and order unkind
How can I have sent you away?
The blame was my own; the punishment, yours
The harmony's silent today
But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
And I will your company keep
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
Have carried you softly to sleep
Once did a pony who shone like the sun
Look out on her kingdom and sigh
She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony
So lovely and so well beloved as I"
So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory
That long was the shadow she cast
Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved
And grew only darker as days and nights passed
Soon did that pony take notice that others
Did not give her sister her due
And neither had she loved her as she deserved
She watched as her sister's unhappiness grew
But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
Takes hold of the mind of its host
And that foolish pony did nothing to stop
The destruction of one who had needed her most
Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine
And rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Luna, you're loved so much more than you know
May troubles be far from your mind
And forgive me for being so blind
The years now before us
Fearful and unknown
I never imagined
I'd face them on my own
May these thousand winters
Swiftly pass, I pray
I love you; I miss you
All these miles away
May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe upon your bed of moonlight
And know not of sadness, pain, or care
And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there
Sleep...


The last one was pretty good.. Could be a loading screen for a Celestia game

Me: Oh, no. Why!?

Lullaby For A Princess and Picture Perfect Pony hold out very well in the prime of MLP: FiM. It's worth it!

Photo Finish sure sounds legit similar to how Tabitha makes her sound and it works! The voice actor succeeded in sounding similar.


You're going to love Viva Reverie's animation of the Weird Al-style polka medley of pony-fan songs "Brony Polka"!


Man, going off on your question about the fandom having one central theme, or variety in its fanworks, I've gotta say

I'm not sure you can find another community with the sheer variety and consistent quality, not to mention absolute quantity, of content that the horse community has. Like, it's insane. There are thousands of fan songs, hundreds of thousands of art-pieces, tens of thousands of fan-fictions, and the list just goes on.

Is all of it good? No, absolutely not, but that goes for anything. A really, really high amount of it is good, though.

I would also say that there should be another Rule of the Internet:  "If it exists, there's a brony for that" ;)  Bronies come from all different paths of life.

I just heard an audio version of Anthropology and I loved every second of it.


I HIGHLY suggest you watch the rest of Viva Reverie's animations. They are quite strange, but usually very fun to watch, and he gets better at animation as he goes on.


You better not cook those... famous last words

Embrace the tears man, let it out!!!<br>Real men cry 😢

Embrace the tears man, let it out!!!
Real men cry 😢


There is no shame in crying over the "Lullaby for a Princess", man. Moreover, it's a shame to be an insensitive blockhead, incapable of empathy and real human emotions.

Greetings from Russia, and thank you for this video.


To new viewers who want to skip Cupcake, after 5 mins it should be safe. I have a bad memory but yeah.

I don't need to be traumatized all over again.


Sooo....where has this dude been at the passed what? 10 years.

I consider him a late bloomer in terms of MLP content and it's worth the wait to see new faces react to this!


If you react to more fan videos please do "The Moon Rises. Animation" by Duo Cartoonist
 and "Snowdrop - MLP Fan Animation" by SFS Animation
.

Yeah, those two should be spoiler-free as of yet.

@@bonbonpony Actually, The Moon Rises should be watched after Season 2 Episode 4 for small details I consider spoilers.


This video is spine-tingling, it's a really storied video. What is the chapter in your life good sir?


I don't understand how Youtube does not label Cupcakes with a gore warning xD


12:51  "Oh My God! Is full of stars SPOILERS" !!

12:51  "Oh My God! Is full of -stars- _SPOILERS"_ !!


BRO CUPCAKES HD IS CHILDS PLAY COMPARED TO “Sweet apple masacre” that I just watched


I know she crazy but she would never do that


You need to watch the sfm one with subtitles on you will like it


I was watching mlp at the same time I'm watching mlp s6 ep3 the part where pinking was putting her face in icecream and crying at the same time celestia was crying when she banished her sister coincidence??????


this isn't what I meant when I said I want my guts rearranged


and now he needs to react to 'friendship is manly' LOL (only the first one tho. spoilers)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z7UnO66q9w


Think of it this way. Imagine not only being forced to banish your sister into the moon, but having to raise and lower that moon every day for a thousand years, constantly being reminded of what you had to do


01:32 Oh sweet Celestia's slippers, he found Cupcakes... :S   I forgot to warn you...
06:06 Yeah, "Lullaby for a Princess" is a real piece of art, and it really shows what some representatives of fandom are capable of :J
09:24 Did you notice how Celestia's mane was pink at first, but then got multi-colored after she used the Elements? ;>
09:59 Never say never ;>  It not only will do it, but I bet my tail it will do it multiple times ;)
10:22 Oh, so you noticed :>  Nice...
11:41 Not only that, but she's been reminded about what she's done every day by the Moon dial with Nightmare Moon's craters on it :q
12:08 WarpOut worked 2 years on that. There's also a "making of" video somewhere on his channel.
12:52 Let a friend help you with downloading videos for you, or else YouTube will spoil EVERYTHING for you with those thumbnails and recommendations ;P  It's like they're doing it on purpose, selectively choosing the most spoilery stuff to show you and ignoring all the rest :q
13:18 Oh yeah, there's variety all right. And I've never seen any fandom as creative as this one.
13:42 Pony Music Video, I guess ;)
14:24 Yeah, Jan Animations was perhaps the most show-accurate animator of them all, and he could make such stuff all by himself, with no expensive animation studio full of people. Which means he could single-handedly do what Hasbro did with an entire animation studio and lots of money. Unfortunately, that was also his curse, because Hasbro's lawyers soon found him and he got Cease & Desist letter, requiring him to delete all pony-related stuff from his channel and personal computers. He tried to reason with them for two years or so, but they were only playing with him, only to end up with no conclusion at the end. They crashed him and ruined his life. Imagine how it is, being a huge fan of something, but being disallowed to create any art about it and share your joy with people, because that's basically what they did to him. I met him in person at one convention and talked with him about it for a while, but it really was a painful subject for him.
15:23 Yeah, it is. It came from the fact that many fans used an excuse that they're "only watching it for the plot" ;)
21:04 Some fan stuff may contain major spoilers. But let's make it easier for you: we'll be posting you links to some fan stuff from time to time when you "unlock" them by watching the episodes they contained spoilers for. There's a couple of videos that you will unlock with season 2 premiere ;)  and one good one that you will unlock after season 3 premiere. More will come.
