This beautiful animation is what happens when someone cares enough about what they're doing to hand-draw a scene, frame by frame, until it's perfect. No tweening, no tricks. Just skill, and lots of it.
Not gonna lie, that was the most epic animation I've ever seen so far. The visual effects, the song, the face expressions was just fricking mind blown. I LOVE'D IT! Great reaction Alex btw.
laszlo zsurka Just the stationary stuff, the BACKGROUNDS PAUSE AT ANY POINT AND THE BACKGROUND IS CRAZILY PAINTED PLUS SMOOTH ANIMATION PLUS EPIC EFFECTS EVERYTHING
From what I've seen, there are two types of reactions to this. One, a lot of sadness from the story. Two, amazement at the wonderful animation. (this guy) Or, sometimes both.
Ok, this animation is now officially in my mind the flagship of MLP:FiM Fan Content. If anyone asks you why you like MLP:FiM and your answer is Fan Content, this animation by WarpOut should constitute your reply.
minterman237 Ok, that makes sense. A little context to my earlier posts, the primary reason I like MLP:FiM is because it has a fanbase which makes great fan content. So for me, it essentially comes down to, I like the show because of it's fanbase because of their content. But that's just me personally. Everyone's different.
A proper reaction instead of just saying "o cool this is like better than the shows animation." Except you didn't quite cry like i did. Great reaction tho ;3
Ian Mardo Yea ;3 Ive tried spreading this animation to everyone I know today. Sadly most is not watching it, but they don't know what they are missing out on. Also, watched it like 20 times now
omg that was great this was the frist song I herd when I joined the fandom this is a masterpiece of a animation by the looks on your face you loved it to this made me love the song all over again
Syazwan Meep Not that sad as I'm stressed out and tired... entry exams ._. Good thing there's a convention next weekend and more ponies after the next :D
I haven't seen one single react to this where the first minute of so post-Lullaby was anything other than stunned silence or stammering attempts to find something to describe what had just graced their lives.
I wanted to wait until your reaction video to watch that and that...was...epic. Favorite youtube video right there; it beat them all. That was absolutely beautiful, and I saw it first with your reaction. Your video is now my favorite piece of animation art I have ever seen before. Thank you Alex, that was perfect. Brohoof man.
This song means so much for me.. When we moved from our house, and I was alone in it, one last time, I just kinda walked around singing this, and watching the empty house one last time. Idk why, Im not even a brony.
Key Ring If WarpOut had a big animation team behind him, then we would be expecting alot more of this epicness in a short duration. But since he did it on his own (the visuals), another 2.5 years for Luna's Reply? ;-;
Euthanasias ...Re-read your comment. If you take it from my context you see it as: "A fucking cookie." or " A cookie that fucks." Don't know why you have to get hostile over something so trivial. It was a joke. Jeez....

And a but load of paper
Jeremiah Page Well, a buttload of time on the Wacom tablet, for sure. I don't think there was any physical paper used in the production.
Nightweaver1 There actually was! Some of the scenes were hand-drawn, than colored with watercolor.
They used a camera trick when they were fighting sooo
Did anyone else have an emotional breakdown watching this?
Rachel Bartlett
no.
Rachel Bartlett
It's a good animation but Cupcakes HD still my favorite.
Rachel Bartlett I did T-T
Sadly and happily me I did a fountain actually
Pandabot gaming You a waterfall now?
"And forgive me for being so blind"
That was the part that really got me.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm pretty confident this video will win Best Pony Video of 2015.
Its much, MUCH better than Fall of the Crystal Empire
Yeah everyone's voting for it! Myself included
ShalMusicFX I think it will be the Best Pony Video of all years.
Woodie Pecker I meant in terms of actual voting. I don't know if there is someone who organizes a list of "Best Pony Videos ever."
ShalMusicFX
And I meant that this is the peak of all Pony Videos. It doesn't get better than this. All downhill from now on.
HIS EXPRESSIONS ARE FRICKIN PRICELESS!!!!!!! XD
& I mean that in a good way alex
I notice in 3:25 On the left side of the door is Snowdrop cutiemark !
Oh wow you right
This is the most hilarious video I have ever seen. I've watched it about fifty times already and his expressions never get old.
Ikr
Not gonna lie, that was the most epic animation I've ever seen so far. The visual effects, the song, the face expressions was just fricking mind blown. I LOVE'D IT!
Great reaction Alex btw.
laszlo zsurka I agree!
Adventure Time Lover /)
laszlo zsurka Just the stationary stuff, the BACKGROUNDS
PAUSE AT ANY POINT AND THE BACKGROUND IS CRAZILY PAINTED
PLUS SMOOTH ANIMATION
PLUS EPIC EFFECTS
EVERYTHING
I agree!
Egyetértek!
Szerintem is fantasztikus volt. Az egész egy mozgó festményre hasonlít.
Slender Mane Tudom, ez volt a legfantasztikusabb fananimacio amit valaha lattam. /)
I'm glad Alex noticed Celestia's added mane colors after she used the Elements. It was indeed a clever idea! I love WarpOut's imaginations!
This hit me like a freight train. The feels are real. It is a masterpiece.
I love the utter shock on reactors' faces when Celestia first comes out of the castle.
I waited the whole 2.5 years for the lullaby for a princess animation. Worth it.
and i cant even do computer art of ponies.... but this
Coz you're a kid that's why
so? i know people who can do amazing art and are 13 like me and i still do computer art just not ponies that much
you must be a kid because you can't spell "cause"
like you
Really? Is that the best comeback you can think of ?
I have satisfaction on this video bcs the way he reacted to Luna and Celestia fight that just satisfy me❤
From what I've seen, there are two types of reactions to this.
One, a lot of sadness from the story.
Two, amazement at the wonderful animation. (this guy)
Or, sometimes both.
Oh my God! I didn't realised Celestia's mane changed the color after using EoH! MY MIND IS BLOWN AWAY!
Ok, this animation is now officially in my mind the flagship of MLP:FiM Fan Content. If anyone asks you why you like MLP:FiM and your answer is Fan Content, this animation by WarpOut should constitute your reply.
StrategicGamesEtc Anyone who doesn't like this has no heart and any other mean things you can think to say without really being mean.
...........I have no words...........that.......r..........BAD..........that was AMAZING
cuteanimation xoxo xoxo the animation
+StrategicGamesEtc Well I don't like MLP:FIM because of this, but I do like the fandom because of things like this.
minterman237
Ok, that makes sense. A little context to my earlier posts, the primary reason I like MLP:FiM is because it has a fanbase which makes great fan content. So for me, it essentially comes down to, I like the show because of it's fanbase because of their content. But that's just me personally. Everyone's different.
Your expression being in total awe is friggin funny. This is my favorite MLP fan animation from the community!
Looking back on this, it’s something that can make any longtime MLP fan tear up on and put the main series Hasbro and DHX can ever do to shame.
1:42 - 7:20
As my grandmother used to say. "Careful with that open mouth, you'll swallow a fly." Love your reactions Alex. ;)
Oh wow
2 years worth the wait
1:30 Yes, I too, was pretty darn SH00K. Truly picturesque and wonderful to behold. I love how awe-stricken you were the entire time. XD
A proper reaction instead of just saying "o cool this is like better than the shows animation." Except you didn't quite cry like i did. Great reaction tho ;3
Twilight Sparkle Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle, I cannot go through the climax part without shedding a tear. Your not-so-faithful student, C.
Ian Mardo Yea ;3 Ive tried spreading this animation to everyone I know today. Sadly most is not watching it, but they don't know what they are missing out on. Also, watched it like 20 times now
I can't sing through the whole song properly without my voice cracking because of strong emotions :(
Twilight Sparkle I haven't seen anyone say that about it but if they do, then they need to remember that it wouldn't even exist without the show.
I could do it as long as I'm not looking at the work cause visual make me lose it
Alex side is officially broken by this epic animation
Only 10 seconds into the animation and your jaw already drops! XD It's just SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!
This animation is porn for the soul.
Shinigami Sama how is it porn?!
Adventure Time Lover Just a little exaggerated way of saying "This look so good i came."
Shinigami Sama mkay :|
:|
Shinigami Sama Well your disgusting.
best reaction ever omg that face the whole time tho XD
great reaction Alex!
omg that was great this was the frist song I herd when I joined the fandom this is a masterpiece of a animation by the looks on your face you loved it to this made me love the song all over again
Grew a tear from the beauty of the song and animation

Syazwan Meep
Not that sad as I'm stressed out and tired... entry exams ._.
Good thing there's a convention next weekend and more ponies after the next :D
Syazwan Meep I cry all the time... without ever knowing WHY!!
I did!
My best friend threw me a blue shell on Mario kart. We are no longer friends ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
You sir are probably one of the only reactors to notice Celestia's mane color change.
I just have to say i couldn't hold in my tears, it was mind blowing
*...AND WHEN THEY WERE FIGHTING WITH ENERGY, BALL HIDE THE WHOLE FRICKIN MOON!*
~~~~Alex Side, 2015.
Because of your reaction I could feel the animation much stronger. Really. XD my god
You are right alex the video is so AWESOME there are no words describe it to give it equal justice
I love your reaction, it reminded of myself when i first saw it. IT's the BEST EVER!
I haven't seen one single react to this where the first minute of so post-Lullaby was anything other than stunned silence or stammering attempts to find something to describe what had just graced their lives.
Dang Alex! Can your jaw drop any lower? Loved your reaction! c:
5:10 - I've watched that video 3 times so far and that scene gets me at the edge of tears each and every time.
Omega6047 Me to :3
I can't believe how amazing that was! You were right it was an epic video
you want to know how hard it is not to cry in front of your mom? REALLY HARD! THIS WAS AMAZING
the animation is so smooth, that it looks like a moving portrait.
Im crying because of how beautiful it is OHMYGERD ;-;
That was great!!! I loved this song, i downloaded it.
I love the lighting effects alot in the animation
this is the best reaction of this video man, for real
I wanted to wait until your reaction video to watch that and that...was...epic. Favorite youtube video right there; it beat them all. That was absolutely beautiful, and I saw it first with your reaction. Your video is now my favorite piece of animation art I have ever seen before. Thank you Alex, that was perfect. Brohoof man.
I miss the old times 😢

best animation in the world.
Video was epic in every way possible.Everyone that contributed are truly talented and thank you for sharing that talent with me :)
Now I'm not one for crying, but this video made me cry a river!
this is good its very good
This song means so much for me.. When we moved from our house, and I was alone in it, one last time, I just kinda walked around singing this, and watching the empty house one last time. Idk why, Im not even a brony.
I really like that scene where the clouds are pushed away by the shock wave.
Now they need to do Luna's reply then the compilation with both of them singing at the same time.
Key Ring Well, Here goes another 2,5 Years XD
Key Ring If WarpOut had a big animation team behind him, then we would be expecting alot more of this epicness in a short duration. But since he did it on his own (the visuals), another 2.5 years for Luna's Reply? ;-;
Yeah didn't know when I made the original post that it took two and a half years to make this one.
Still, can't stop from wishing.
Warpout said he wasn't going to do Luna's reply. He wants to focus on something less sad.
Mine Fortress its worth it though
I love this, it's beautiful love celestia's voice it's beautiful
Loved that song I didn't even know it was fully animated yet
Finally in the 301 club YES
your reaction was adorable! good job!

Want a fucking cookie?
+Euthanasias Cookies fucking? o-o That's a strange thing to think about.
Carrie Wilson Cookies fucking? your a dumb ass. I said want a fucking cookie not "Hey want two cookies having intercourse." Grow the fuck up.
Euthanasias ...Re-read your comment. If you take it from my context you see it as: "A fucking cookie." or " A cookie that fucks." Don't know why you have to get hostile over something so trivial. It was a joke. Jeez....
Carrie Wilson A fucking cookie. You with your childish mind would read it as LOL XDDDD!!!!1! HE MEENS A COOKE FUKING XDD!!!!! ROLF XDDDD.
When you said the colours wati i meant *THE COLOURSE!!!*IT WAS FUNNY LOL

I love your reaction. You should try reacting to the moon rises.
You almost went through your screen xD
Nice video man!
