Description
Finally it is here!
My magnus Opus as it were, in production for over 2,5 years
With the help of Simbaro and Cmaggot on backgrounds
we are proud to present the animation of the song by Ponyphonic
"Lullaby for a Princess".

This animation is based on the background story of Celestia and Luna
as told in the mlp:FiM S1E1 opening. This Project started before the flashback scene in S4E1 where the same story is told.

we tried to stay close to our vision but changed a few items to make our animation fit the cannon more. example: first the crown would fall instead of the ellement of magic.
but we decided to keep the mane pink.

    I owe you all some form of update. You all brought me so much kindness. Its only fair I let you on what has been going on with me after lullaby. I got fired. Got a new job. found love. Bought a home. Married and got a beautifull daughter. She is 3 now. ( Time really flies.). I look back at this project with much love. I have tried to start new projects. But the time I have to invest has been very little. I still draw from time to time, to keep my skill up. Perhaps when I find more time I can animate again. But for now my time goes to family, friends and job. Thank you for understanding. I hope the last years have been kind. Greetings WarpOut

    Celestia's mane changing after she used the elements still hits me right in the gut
  • @Neonnotecards
    The idea that Celestia gets her rainbow mane as a sort of magical scar from using the elements is my absolute favorite headcanon. Celestia being unable to escape the reminder of what she's done every time she looks in a mirror is so tragic and I absolutely love it.
  • I just noticed a detail so very sad after all these years!! At 5:00 it establishes that celestia has a tradition of tucking her sister in using her magic, and when we skip to the present with her outside the window we can see that she still continues to tuck her sister in by setting the moon!! Gosh the detail put into this is stunning

    Its been 8 years yet I still teared up at this. This was so nostalgic.
  • @meaghanking4752
    “And that foolish pony did nothing to stop the destruction of the one who needed her most” that hit deep
  • @sixeswild274
    The idea that using the Elements of Harmony in this way amounted to such a shock of magical and emotional trauma that it tints her mane, in the same way that a serious event can give a person a grey streak, is such a hard hitting notion. I would imagine that generations later, the ponies of the day would probably compliment her on her beautiful pastel rainbow mane, without realizing that Celestia would have probably felt a twinge of guilt and regret and sadness that she would have to smile through, each time.

    "The blame was my own, the punishment yours" So basiclly this song hits for some reason even harder when the show ended... OMG I WANT 10 SEASONS MORE...
  • @kivi9_9
    The fact that NO ONE is talking about the fighting scene is a crime. That animation is good as hell.
  • Okay but this interpretation of the fight between celestia and luna is 50x better than the one we got in the show
  • I like to think MLP's greatest masterpiece is the fandom. For as great as the show was, nothing compares to fan works like this. There is not a comparable moment in the 8 seasons of MLP that makes you cry like this.
  • @Lady._.vi33
    The way celestial cries after using the elements of harmony ALWAYS GETS ME CRYING
  • @arison.403
    "Luna, you're loved so much more than you know" Hits hard😭
  • @liithivm
    if MLP wasn't a children's show, it could've had so much deeper lore and storytelling. truly made my childhood.
  • @stumpyale
    My sister passed away in October and today was her birthday. This is the first thing I listened to when I woke up today. I miss you sis, sleep baby sister
  • 6 years later and i return back to this masterpiece and still cry.
  • @JHaller_
    Years later, it's still the best video our fandom has.
  • @Bby.Goose03
    4:22 - 5:06 has always struck me deep, even listening to this as a child growing up 😭 this song will always hold a special place in my hear
