• Remembrance (Interview...
Whatever your thoughts are regarding Twilight being immortal and such, I believe it is still an interesting concept to work off of. Also, this video was "technically" started before the conversation even started on it. :P
/ s. .
Note for 2019: Ummm...
This was originally premiered at Bronycon 2015. Big thanks to all those that came out to the panel and supported the SFM community! :D
As hinted at above, this video was originally started over 2 years ago. I ragequit due to complications in making the map and stopped for a while (about a year). A vote on DeviantArt came up with this one being the next big video to finish. So here you go. :P
The animating I personally think is meh. My big focus was on cinematics and making it pretty. The vast majority of the time working on the video were for those alone.
All the pictures in the frames (minus 1) were made by people in the SFM community as a contest. While I originally needed just 1, the shear number of submissions in 1 week made me modify my idea for the credits and fill it with pictures they made. Links to all the pictures are below.

Well, gotta do an updated version of it now then I guess... still wonderful all these years later.
I cried realising that Twilight may outlive her friends back then, the final episode just hit me harder knowing it became canon
Yep you did...
They all ded except Twilight
am i the only one here in 2024?
No I'm here but I'm just taking a trip down memory lane- AHEM skipping 2020-
Hellooooo!!!
Me too
🎉
I'm here as well
Now that I'm older, I've realised the meaning behind this video. Twilight sacrifed not only just her wings and alicorn magic, but her immortality aswell. The reason Celestia looks upset with pain in her eyes is because she knows Twilight will no longer be by her side forever. Twilight did a very brave thing.
Yeah.
AW JEEZE I’M CRYING NOW
SHE WAS IMMORTAL?!
@@thewildcraftgamer yes lol
didn't know that lol@@jaimee6663
It's been nearly 7 years since this came out and it STILL makes me ball my eyes out. Thomas Bergersen's work is so damn amazing.
What is the name of the song
@@dcoffee3018 remember me
SHUT UP 2023
This makes me so sad
@@Lucky_Lyra 2023❌
This hurt. Not because the series ended, but because of the memories. I didn’t grow up with a good childhood but MLP always made me feel better when I watched it, so watching this and understanding it in a better way hits harder.
i cant, is really sad
@@lokistorys6994 i know :(
Mlp forever
I remember watching this show around when it first came out (had already graduated highschool recently) and thinking "This is pretty good. Glad kids have a good show to grow up with." -- TV had become pretty stale at that point for me and FiM was kind of the only thing I ever turned it on for anymore. Kinda funny when you think about it.
It's been a long time, but glad to finally hear these kinds of comments. Always thought that it'd really impact a lot of kids who watched it growing up.
I just now realized that after Twilight broke the statues of her friends, she lost her wings and turned back into a unicorn. And if she's a unicorn, that means she isn't immortal anymore. Now I know what the question means when it asks, "If you had to choose between friends and forever, what would you choose?"
Friends. They are more important than those wings
If i had one pair
@@kitty7584 uhm-
I lost all my friends but i wouldn’t choose forever
You know.. Thats will be a great end for the show.. I wished that the end of the show would be something like this But it was a very simple end
Who's here after the finale?
It's even more powerful now...
Yeess
Yeah. I believe I saw you on another comment section with this.
Sam Dickenson- i wasn’t the only one who remembered this short film- lmao
Eeyup.
Onyx1916 me :,)
We probably all watched this in our childhood, just because it was our favorite fandom
But now that we actually understand the sadness and meaning in this video
@The Miracle samee
this shit made me cry so much
Called it.
Wasnt a child and *STILL IS* ... great stories
me too
watched this for the first time in 6 years and i still cry. one of the most gorgeous animations in the fandom and now that the show ended it kills my heart even more.
Wait, you mean as in they stopped making episodes? But they made a movie though
@@Devonplayz-ut2fk MLP gen 4 is over. i miss them is what i mean
Celestia's face hits me hard.
Just imagine how she feels, knowing that her precious student will one day pass on. How she chose to give up her immortality for the chance to live the remainder of her life with her friends. But I don't think Celestia has that option.
It makes me wonder if Celestia asked Twilight to make friends because she doesn't have the luxury to do so herself anymore. We never see Celestia with any friends of her own, despite her lessons on the importance of friendship. I can only assume she did have a group of close friends when she was young, similar to Twilight, but they passed on long ago. With the weight of the crown and her own immortality, did Celestia decide that she couldn't afford to lose any more friends? But she still wanted her student to be able to experience that magic before, she too, became immortal.
Was Twilight the closest thing she had to a true friend in years (other than her sister)? If so, how heartbreaking must it be to think you may finally be able to keep someone you care about close through the years, only for her to choose to give up that immortality and leave you anyway...
I'm reading too much into it, but it just got me thinking what was going through Celestia's mind here.
*sobbing intensifies*
You're not wrong. I thought of this too, and you make an excellent point. But, if that be the case, then I feel so sorry for Celestia to have to lose probably the only (real) friend she's had in the years she's been living. I would say that is is kind of selfish on Twilight to not think about Celestia's feelings in this, besides her own. She probably didn't even think it through that if she were to pass away, then Celestia would be alone (besides her sister), and she would continue to rule equestria instead of having her big break. But, I can see where Twilight is coming from, she's just not mature enough to decide that even if her friends will pass, she'll have to come to accept it.
Where did she go in the end, I didn't saw her anywhere
I hate to be that guy but…*i DID NOT understand stand a word u god dam. Said*
Beauty can be interpreted in many ways
Anyone else here after seeing the series finale?
Holy shit its you and yes
Yes
Going through regular research that you're working right "gmail
LittleshyFiM Yes
Omg hey LittleshyFiM
I came back and watched this, and I saw the pain in Celestia's eyes for the first time. Now I understand. It was more than just her own immortality she sacrificed....it was the time she would have with Celestia. Her mentor's hope of not witnessing her passing was extinguished in a beautiful cascade of magic. So many feels again....
The fact that true friendship also comes from great sacrifices. Just for your friends to be there and smile.

@@luhvillia6435 yikes, tho it depends, what you are. If I was a dragon I'd be happy.
Yes!
The unity between the six is absolutely unbreakable
Yep it is. My headcanon states that Twilight will NOT become immortal, because she would give it up for her friends. That seems to be something unique to Celestia/Luna anyway. Not to mention that the elements don't work anymore without all 6 of them, as the friends they are.
@@StormsparkPegasus Have you seen the new G5 comics?
@@prosperstarling3513 Absolute garbage. Corporate cashgrab shit just like G5 itself. The comics end at issue 88 as far as I'm concerned.
@@StormsparkPegasus oh,, ok-
@@prosperstarling3513 Yep, I'm staying away from all that trash. I don't consider the last season canon (except for 3 episodes that I think are ok without any changes - Point of No Return, Common Ground, and Going to Seed - there are a few more that I could fix with some changes). So anything that takes that or the 'ending' into account, I just consider bad fanfiction and ignore.
I'd appreciated how this animation looked before, but never really thought on how much of a time sink these things are. I've never used any animation software prior to, but downloaded SFM just to see if I could find my way around the software by fiddling around, and good lord, the sheer level of work that must go in to these things. Mad respect. I mean, I get there's a massive difference between someone who's spent years doing this, a professional, if you will, and someone just booting up the software for the first time, but the attention to detail in this is impressive, now that I'm seeing what time and effort goes in to using software like this.
Hello Rosalina! Space Princess.
still one of the most emotional animations in the brony fandom 7 years later
agreed, mlp has made a big part of my childhood and seeing these animations make me shed a tear.
Alicorns are immortal.
Can't friendships be too?
Yes
It can be. If 2 friends can make it through the rigorous journey of life, friendship can last. However, many people will have friends who they think they will always stay with, but something external ( i. e. someone moving to a different country or marrying ) can have an effect of ending it. But yes, friendship can be eternal
ho yeah!
Impossible
Friendships last longer
Alicorns are mortal. It is just that they have a very very very very very very ... very very long life. Of course unless they are killed.
Hi there random person reading this. Here, have some coffee and a donut in exchange for sitting here with me. This video has always meant a lot to me. As I'm sure everyone who is watching this video: I am a fan of My Little Pony. I found the show around 2014 when I was in fourth grade. I watched the show religiously, joined the fandom as an 11-year-old with unrestricted internet access does, and watched as the fandom grew. MLP was my lifeline. I had visitations with my biological father, a very abusive man, and MLP helped me survive the weekends and Wednesdays I had to be with him. Whenever I would feel scared or sad I would watch the show, listen to Land of Equestria when I couldn't sleep, play MLP roleplay on Roblox to distract myself from him. My dad ended up abandoning me when I was 12. I continued to watch the show and it helped me cope until I... didn't need it anymore. It had helped me, supported me, helped me cope until I didn't need to cope anymore. I got help, went to therapy, had wonderful friends who taught me the true magic of friendship. So I stopped watching. I went back to it every once and a while but it wasn't a part of my life anymore. I'm now 18, about to graduate high school, and...I'm scared. I'm an adult now. I thought I wouldn't be here by the time I hit senior year but I did it. I survived! And I'm scared. To try to relive my childhood I refound MLP, but the show is now over, the fandom beginning to fade, and I wasn't there at the end of it. I missed the last Bronycon, I wasn't there at the premiere of the finale, I feel like I abandoned this show without giving it a proper goodbye. Without thanking it for everything it has done for me. To celebrate graduating I am watching the show from beginning to end. A poetic end to my childhood as I both relive it and finally see how it ended. I'm saying goodbye to this old friend but not for long, just a "see you later" until our paths cross again-- and I'm sure they will someday! So, to everyone still here, here's another donut and a refill for that coffee, and a goodbye. Thank you for being here for me without even knowing it. Thank you for supporting this show and its fandom that saved my life. Thank you for being you. Brohoof.
Felt that.
I know that feeling my old man walked out on me too
I understand you so much... I also had my biological dad who abandoned me and a used to be step-dad that treated me terribly. I'm so glad you survived through everything!
I felt that, bro.
I miss the good ol days too; But I'll always carry what this show has done for me in my heart.
I'll be a brony at heart and spirit till the day I kick the bucket, I promise you that. /)
Hey there sweetie.
I feel you.
I also joined the Fandom as an 11 year old with ptsd.
We both went through so much and this show helped us both cope with our worst times.
I'm glad I found you here.
I wish I could one day talk to you about everything but I don't know if that's possible.
I wish to make friends but at the same time I am tok afraid to telk to people about anything as I'm frequently used by my so called friends Wich left me with trust issues ever since I found out.
I need to open up to somebody or these problems will eat me alive one day.
I hope your doing better now and I seriously hope I didn't waste your time.
Have a good day night or whatever time you have rn and may you always have coffee when you need it.
Seven years later. Still gets me.
This animation just... it really does hit so much harder since the show's been over. I haven't watched this in a long time, but it seems everyone has the same feelings. A melancholy sadness. If anything this animation shows the fragility of life, and why we should enjoy what we have while we have it. Because nothing lasts forever, and that's okay. If anything, we should just stop and sniff the roses, even for a moment.
I keep finding myself coming back to this video. This is your masterpiece, Argodaemon. Your magnum opus.
+Jacob Kitts ;o
Oof
Ya me too and I was like in nursery last time I had an obsession with this song and I'm in year 6 now and I love it!
Just the thought that Twilight could lose her friends one day is very heartbreaking. After watching the last episode of MLP, I started to cry... Not because the series ended but because she is immortal. One day Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbowdash and Pinky Pie will die and Twilight... she will live on... The ponies that were important to her will die one day...
It doesnt have to be this way if you dont want it to be. Jim Miller said they dont know how long everyone lives including twilight. They are leaving it up to fans to decide with fanfics. I made mine where she gives up her immortality to pass with her friends.
@Louisa Hansen But isn't it sad that she will see everyone die around her?
Even the new generation? ....
Edit: What I'm trying to say is, that everyone who she lets close to her, will die eventually.
Wouldn't it make you sad if you saw everyone (Your familiy and friends) die around you?
@Louisa Hansen To be happy after she loses her friends and family?
Not only her friends. But spike and her brother too.
@@maddoxorian9568 But I thought that dragons are immortal ....
~ But that's a good point tho
this hits much different now with G5's movie airing in a couple hours. thanks Friendship is Magic..for all you've done for us. we will miss you all greatly and try our best to carry the lessons you've taught us with us for as long as we can. i may've come into the fandom late, but the show and it's story left a large impact on my life. again, thank you Friendship is Magic...for everything
Wtf🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Even after moving on from the ponies, this video will forever hit me.
this vid rly hits you like a bus now that the final episode is out, doesn’t it? omfg 🥺😩
it did even before, now it hits harder since it's canon
Not entirely canon though it could if you believe it. Personally I think Twilight is going make her student Luster the next princess and give up her immortality. Jim Miller said we can make our own endings, that's mine.
@Sam Dickenson Mine is that she redoes the spell, ascends her friends, and they all live together forever. Like in The Great Alicorn Hunt. I suggest reading that most wonderful fic.
@@samdickenson5852 Thank Celestia for the open endedness of the finale.
You're right. They never confirmed nor denied that the rest of the Mane 6 weren't immortal but still stick by the claim Twilight won't outlive her friends.
So either NONE of them are immortal or all of them are, because if she isn't immortal and won't outlive her friends, Twilight would be the first to die.
And just because the rest of them look older by the finale, doesn't mean they aren't immortal. It just means their immortality took a while to kick in and halt their aging process and leaving them in the state we saw them at in the finale.
Or at least that's my interpretation
@@CuteNekoHibiki Okay. I'll look into it. My head cannon fic is called Passing on Together if you want to read it.
The first time I watched this. I literally cried a waterfall.
Here I am,watching this once again,but the only difference is,I cried. 😌👌
Same
i watched this like 4 years ago
....
same
This was absolutely beautiful, she did what she did in order to get her friends back which tells me friends are more important than your side quests as her wings were an example for me. That’s how powerful friendship is🙏💗💗💗
This will always go down as one of the most beautiful things ever created by this amazing fandom.
It would make sense if Twilight did this and Celestia was still alive to tell the story. She did narrate the opening scene when the book first opened. Though in my headcanon story she gave up her immortality and passes before Twilight. Look it up guys, Luster Dawn New Days of the Magic of Friendship.
That’s actually true. And the series ended with the book closing. Meaning twilight must of gave up after finding the next ruler. Luster dawn must of became an alicorn right before twilight gave up.
I have a similar theory, I think Twilight made Luster her Successor and gave up her immortality. Though in the fanfic I wrote Celestia did as well.
If Twilight is indeed outliving her friends, I'm done being a brony. No more fandom for me, I'm burning my entire fanart, fanfics and toys. FUCK YOU HASBRO, for ruining my favorite cartoon of all time with the worst sad ending ever. I'd rather spent this last decade watching porn, slasher movies and 1000 ways to die instead of this garbage!!!!
@@canadavatar You never replied to my other comment in regard to this. You dont have to worry about twilight outliving her friends. The writers left it up to us, at least some people say that. Miller said they dont know how long everyone lives. I'm starting to suspect that they're gonna have something like my theory happen in the movie next year. They said the old cast would return.
@kinesha shekhar gaming and people You shut up!!!
watching this 5 years later still brings me to tears
Fr😭😭
IT'S SO MUCH MORE EMOTIONAL BECAUSE THEY ARE CANONICALLY DEAD
@@prosperstarling3513 Are they really dead. Sure the G5 movie suggests that but in the g5 comics it turned out discord was a live so it's possible that Twilight might be too, although it was stated that the G4 comics weren't canon but it's possible that the G5 comics will be canpn.
I just cryed, the song always brings me to edge
Crying rn😭
6 years later and this is still able to send shivers from hoof to heart!
The sadness and sarrow that twilight shows, plus her explosive power she shows, must really show how unbreakable her friendship, giving away Eternal Life, sacrificing one thing, because she probably realizes, that if your immortal while others are not, that means death, that being the next step to life, wouldn't be worth it, because you wouldn't die along side with the people that you hold dear, I even sang along with twilight, I can say the lyrics I said if y'all want, and an important lesson of this animation, even years later, shows that once you have something, your the only one to be sure whether to restore it or keep it burden inside your memory, hurting your heart both physically, and emotionally, that's why twilight gave up being an alicorn, because she wanted what she holded dear in her normal unicorn life
You: "Try not to cry."
What do I do?
Cry, of course.
I didn't cry lol
What 😱
What would work when? Just just going into using
Lola fyi then right January
Good reputation your
Awwwee
She'd rather have her friends than her wings...so beautiful.
I didn't cry.....I swear...😭
We know ya did.
its more than her wings! She gave up her IMMORTALITY!!!!!!
...I would give up meh life...
LIES!!! Its ok to cry my fello brony
@@darkwoman9115 So would I. I would rather die than be immortal and lose generations of friends.
спустя столько лет, это все еще шедевр. у меня нет слов. просто хочу сказать спасибо всем, кто работал над этим великолепием. спасибо. огромное спасибо.
Абсолютная правда 🥲
7 years ago..
Damn, I was 21, and I remember crying the first (and 2nd, and 3rd.. and so on) time I watched this.
Now I'm 28, and coming back to this after I've managed to finish the show, understanding this animation and the very real outcome of Twilight outliving her friends, well I'm *still* a blubbering mess. More so than before!
Still an excellent animation that tugs at the heartstrings.
Same here, holy fucking shit, it just hits you so hard. 😭
Still very touching... I'll miss g4 a lot..
Me too. hopefully Gen 5 will be adequate but gen 5 will never beat gen 4.
Yes however it will at least give the familiar feel I guess to our next generation that of of course they don’t ruin it
It will always be in Our heart.
My brony-phase was from 2012-2015. Sometimes I feel nostalgic about this time, this fandom and the warmth which the show brought us.
I do too
@@gustavodelarosa8835 they ruined it for me.
This is even sadder after seeing the series finale and how Twilight looks young while her friends look older...
Yeah I know. At least the writers left it up to us. You want to believe she will outlive her friends you can but I say she is going to make Luster the new princess and give up her immortality.
If Twilight is indeed outliving her friends, I'm done being a brony. No more fandom for me, I'm burning my entire fanart, fanfics and toys. FUCK YOU HASBRO, for ruining my favorite cartoon of all time with the worst sad ending ever. I'd rather spent this last decade watching porn, slasher movies and 1000 ways to die instead of this garbage!!!!
@@canadavatar Can you stop commenting this everywhere, it's annoying... And the ending is up to interpretation. Twilight can either sacrifice her immortality and die with her friends or live longer than them. Nothing is confirmed as of what happens after the finale but I just commented that this video is even sadder when you take into account that Twilight is immortal, especially after seeing the finale. And I'm not sure why you think the ending is bad just cause it's sad... Sad endings aren't bad, they're actually realistic and the ending wasn't even sad at all.
OH GOD NO I JUST REALISED WHATS GANNA HAPPEN NOW YOU'VE SAID THAT
@@grace19005 I'm literally undergoing therapy to overcome this breakdown, as I've thought of multiple ways of suicide because of this sad ending as my only way out, is that enough to you?
I come back to this, every so often; maybe once every year or two......just rewatched it now and I straight up balled. It started as just a bit of nostalgia, then a single tear, then when she opened the door and saw the statues, Waterworks started. Couldn't even hold back..........i'm not normally this emotional about fictional things, much less "non-canon" fanworks..........but heck. this still brings me to tears, even knowing intimately about how it was made, it still immersed me to the point of tears........
Well done Argo. Very well done. You made an artwork that can bring grown adults to tears.
Here watching old mlp sfm videos that I used to binge when I was a kid. I'm glad I grew up with this.
Who else would give up there wings for there friends back if you were a pony
me 😭😭😭😭 BC FRIENDS ARE IMPORTANT THAN WINGS!!!!
I would 1000000%
She gave up more than just her wings.... She also gave up her immortality
Me because FRIENDSHIP is more important than anything. Who cares about wings when you got FRIENDS! Besides if your wings are damaged, you can't fly, so what's point?
What's more important your friends, or a life you feel much sadness in?
This should have been the ending for MLP....
It can be. Jim Miller said that the ending is left to interpretation. We can make our own, I say Twilight gives up her immortality/power to Luster, retires, and dies with her friends.
Lol yeah and traumatize some lil kids
Kristian Banks your goddamn right
I can agree
I agree
every year I've always come back to this video and it never fails to make me cry lol
Seriously, this is "Try not to cry" challenge level IMPOSSIBLE. 😭😭😭
yes i go here to cry
Watching this after finishing Friendship is Magic truly hits hard. It's been 30 minutes i'm still crying
She gave up her wings, that means her life became shorter.
But at least she can stay with her friends
This music is very touching.
I just lost my dog of 9 years to congestive heart failure today. She was put down humanely with dignity. I’m just numb right now.
I’ll miss you Bella. You’ll be in my heart, always.😢
I know the pain you are feeling and you will get through it. The memories you shared will keep them alive forever. My heart goes out to you.
Argodaemon thanks man.🙂
I understand your pain entirely my friend. I hope you’re doing well in these times.
I will give you my atom of good luck to you
Yea I know how it feels but keeps your memories of her and don’t forget her I’m sorry for your lost
A quatro ano atrás, postei um comentário falando "chorei d+ 😭😭", hoje, tenho 16 anos e continuo chorando com essa animação incrível. Então, novamente, CHOREI D+ 😭😭😭😭
Vc ñ é o único 😢
This hits different now that the show has ended, Remembrance; like how this will be something we'll all remember as part of our lives.
This video shows that
FRIENDSHIP IS TOO POWERFUL MORE THAN ANYTHING
😭😭😭😭😭
Yes, if I had to choose between immortality and friends I'd choose friends
I don't have friends and I never will.....(my depression)
@@samdickenson5852 I would choose immortality
@@Yamileth.solis16 Not me. That is a curse. My life is empty enough from depression, I want to die by old age. Eighty years is probably a good cap for me.
This hurts even more when you lose a best friend.
My wild and impossible wish is always and will always be to have her back.
Man I love this❤
2:47 *I think I’m starting to cry🥹*
3:38 *I LOVE THIS🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️*

👏👏👏👏👏👏
*BEAUTIFUL*
Still gives me chills to watch this again.
there is no words that can explain how beautiful this is she gave up her imortallity for her friends thats friendship
I cried
That was so beautifull
You know what I think is sadistic? That so many people want her to outlive her friends.
I may not be a brony, but this animation is a beautiful visual representation of what it means to make a sacrifice for the people who truly matter to you. It's like a pulse in your heart that lets you find happiness in a few short moments with your loved ones than eternity without them.
Well said.
You see one must sacrifice their most beloved traits. Perhaps they're wings, a soul, or even they're life. But it is all worth it to have friends and family back.
Still just as beautiful as it was the day it was uploaded. I keep finding myself coming back to this as it is easily one of my favorite works. You were able to convey so much emotion within this video and it was able to hit your audience right in the feels. Words alone cannot describe how beautiful I truly find this masterpiece.
Congratulations, the most widely accepted version of this story might be canon.
SPOILER ALERT
REEEEEE, I HAVEN'T WATCHED THE FINALE YET
F U C K
THEY'LL NEVER SHOW US WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE OTHER 5'S DEATHS
Only if you believe it. Jim Miller said that we can make our own endings. I'd say Twilight makes her student Luster her successor, gives up her immortality, and passes on with her friends
But where’s Spike?
Well. I cried.
Thank you so much for making this masterpiece, a massive nostalgic piece for all of us.
I cannot thank you enough just, this is just truly amazing.
I want to consider this a canon
i have a theory
so i think that twilight has been a princess for a long time, and her friends would have obviously died before her, so she made them stone in her castle to remember them, but she missed them so much that she gave up her immortality and alicorn magic to revive her friends.
Actually I’d like to think this was the result of a battle that somehow encased them in stone and after many years she found the solution to save them
From what is floating around the g5 I would probably agree
I'm literally undergoing therapy to overcome this breakdown, as I've thought of multiple ways of suicide because of this sad ending as my only way out, is that enough to you?
When you know your favorite show is ending with the final season.....*plays this on repeat*
IKR! XD
Yup.
Thank Celestia for Netflix eh?

NO NOT MLP
I watched this, like, 4-5 years ago, when I was 11 or 12 y.o., and i had a literal hysteric, how much i cried. Then left the fandom, completely forgetting about MLP. Now something clicked in my brain and i somehow kinda returned. I saw this animation and immediately clicked.
Yes, my heart was tearing apart and yet I was happy, but i have crying issues, that's why i am not allowed to cry very hard, despite how much i want to. so yeah, we can count that my soul was literally weeping
I absolutely adore how an audio drama started because of this one video. Such beautiful animation, and it honestly made me cry. 😭💞
So I had a 12th grade LA teacher who is a huge brony. He wants us to find the true meaning of videos, literature, and poems and this was the first one he picked. The animator doesn't tell you it's story or it's meaning so you need to guess. He had us look certain facts about the show like alicorns and the Mane 6 so we knew what to write. At the end of the year, we were all bronies. On the last day of school, we wore MLP related shirts and toys. When we bring in toys normally, the school makes us give them to him for the junk drawer. He didn't because he was so happy and it was the end of the year too. He was the best teacher ever and most of us still talk to him. Me and him love Dash and will talk about episodes for hours. Today I ran into him at Target and we got a Coffee and some chicken fingers and pizza for me and talked. Still have the yearbook photo of our brony classroom.
Wish I had a friend like that.
Thank
I want a pony toy ;-;
@Random Kid Vanessa Woah, technology!
I wish I have a teacher like that.. more commons.. where someone knows the manga and anime.. dang .. this is ppl call me loner ;-;;;
I was cutting onions.......I swear!!!

+Dustykatt Rhoades God Dammit i love you.

+Dustykatt Rhoades them was strong onions you cut even got to me from here.
+Dustykatt Rhoades Cutting onions huh? I accidentally rubbed my eyes while doing that before... didn't end well (>~
Man, this song popped back into my head a couple months ago for like a day. I finally remembered to look it up today and I'm glad I did, this was one of my favorite emotional songs back in the day!
It has been a few years sense I had seen this, and even then this video resonated with me. Now that I have recently had a good friend of mine die to suicide, this video gives me an entirely new outlook on things. I miss him, and I know that carrying on with my life honoring his memory is the best thing I can do for him. Still an amazing animation. Thank you for this. Stay true to your friends and family. In life, and also in death.
This is what I think happened..
It had been years since twilight's friends,parents and her own brother had passed away. She had enough of being alone, she didn't even want to live anymore, however she knew she could try to find a spell to bring her friends back... but it would cost her a price, her Alicorn magic, and possibly her own life, she told the princesses all of them hoping she would be ok, celestia came with twilight, giving her one Last goodbye, twilight walked up into her friends' santuary. . Her past with her friends flashing right past her... She Had Decided.
Using all of her Alicorn magic she
Shattered her wings to pieces...the statues of her friends shattering all at once. The spell caused her to fall unconscious her friends towered over her hoping she was ok. Twilight stood up limping.
Her plan had worked.
I hope u like it :3
Unless Shining became an alicorn... Just kidding!
TheEeveeSquad 122 god I cried so much twilight is a true friend she not just the element of Magic she the element of friendship the princess of friendship wings or no wings alicorn or unicorn she is TWILIGHT SPARKLE THE PRINCESS OF FRIENDSHIP✨🦄
Actually Twilight was still breathing she was just exhausted from using all that magic you can still see her breathing.
I'm literally undergoing therapy to overcome this breakdown, as I've thought of multiple ways of suicide because of this sad ending as my only way out, is that enough to you?
This Is Emotional..No One Could Ever Have A Friend Like Twilight Who Better Gaves Her Soul Just To Get Her Friends Back..
7 years later and this is still one of the few videos that makes me cry
I took a nostalgia trip tonight and landed here. This was one of the first fandom animations I remember watching (joined in late September 2015) and at the time, I didn't realize how poignant a feeling this animation represented.
Thank you for making this.
This really gives me chills. The animation is simply beautiful, especially the lighting. And the story is even more... This is probably the best SFM there is in the entire fandom.
If I may put in my two cents. I don't think Twilight revived her friends at the cost of her wings. Rather, I take it that she sacrificed her immortality as an alicorn and the effects of her long life came rushing into her. She didn't revive her friends, instead, she died and was welcomed by the souls of her friends who had waited patiently to be reunited.
как тебя завут? меня Ярослава
+ShaDHP23 that is one theory...the only problem is we don't know how long it's been since her friends passed....it could have been recently, and that with the help of the elements (and the statues) she created a spell to bring them back, but with a major cost...the elements could help channel that energy and legitimately bring them back; as we saw in the episodes where she accidentally switched everyone's cutie marks and then fixed it, becoming a princess afterward, the elements hold their respective bearer's very being in them (whether it be memories, emotions, etc.), so it is possible that the elements could essentially remake all of her friends minds, thoughts, feelings, and memories, and the statues would be made into their bodies (conversion into organic matter is a possibility, but that's not my point in this)....the only other thing that would be needed would be magic to spark the spell, and i mean A LOT of magic since in this case it's bringing back life to the dead....Twilight has that much magic in her as a princess, but in order to do the spell properly (theoretically at least), she'd have to give up all the alicorn magic in her...she could still have her unicorn magic from before, she might also not have it, but in the process she would have lost a large part of her magic and her immortality in order to bring them back.....Just so you know, I thought back to how rituals worked in Full Metal Alchemist for this theory, and how some of the laws in the show worked...in this specific instance I thought back to the Laws of Equivalent Exchange, which, in essence, state that "In order to obtain or create something, something of equal value must be lost or destroyed." (or in this case payed)....in some cases these Laws have a literal meaning, but in some cases, the part of "equal value" is up to the spell caster (something they hold extremely dear vs. something they want just as bad for example)...Twilight loves her friend, and we see throughout the show that she holds them most dear, however, she also cherishes the fact that she is a princess (somewhat) and has a duty to Equestria as a princess, so if we followed the Laws from FMA, her giving up her immortality and her alicorn magic would be of roughly the same value as her friends to her, thus the ritual could work without really any ill effects (That's my theory anyway).

S04 EP26
"You are now Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship. But what is the princess of friendship, without her friends."
-Celestia
If Twilight is indeed outliving her friends, I'm done being a brony. No more fandom for me, I'm burning my entire fanart, fanfics and toys. FUCK YOU HASBRO, for ruining my favorite cartoon of all time with the worst sad ending ever. I'd rather spent this last decade watching porn, slasher movies and 1000 ways to die instead of this garbage!!!!
Friendship never ends
i remember watching this the day it was released, and it was the most emotional thing i had ever watched. i have switched many accounts since then. rewatching this gave me literal chills. still is one of the most emotional things i have seen on youtube and i absolutely love it
It was so painful it felt like somepony was stabbing me in the heart
hi real twilight sparkle
Twilight Sparkle I felt the same I cried so much I couldn't stop for ages. I was was technically balling my eyes out
The Danganronpa fan Danganronpa lol
I'm literally undergoing therapy to overcome this breakdown, as I've thought of multiple ways of suicide because of this sad ending as my only way out, is that enough to you?
The show's ending got me back here.
I know it sure looks like she'll outlive them. But I think she'll make her student Luster the new princess and give up her immortality to pass on. It was left up to us what happens after the book ends.
Years latter and this is still just as amazing. Thank you for making this.
i became obsessed with MLP when i was little. like five years old. it was my longest obsession, it was with me until high school. even when i grew out of it, i would never hesitate to admit how much i still liked it. i remember watching this animation when it came out, i was 11 years old and had just started watching youtube. it made me cry. i’ll revisit this video every now and then because of how well it’s made, and it always makes me tear up a bit. now i’m 19. i just finished my first year of college. and i sobbed just now. i mean sobbed. i mean can’t catch my breath, mascara everywhere, nose stuffed up. i can’t even begin to explain how much this series as a whole means to me, what it taught me, and what the characters mean to me. this animation sums it up. it’s so heartbreaking but it sells the message of the original show so well. amazing work. this holds up 8 years later.
Whelp looks like a lot of us were right that this would be how things ended for the series....and it's just as much of an emotional shot to the nuts as it was back when we first thought of it.
I’m back to cry considering this shit ended up real.
Jim Miller said the ending is open to interpretation. I say she passes on her power to Luster and dies with her friends.
@@samdickenson5852 Her friends wouldnt allow her to sacrifice herself for them
@@NeteriXX This isn't sacrificing herself for them. This is going with them. True they wouldn't want her to die, but she has a right to make her own choice, I'm sure her friends would understand. They wouldn't want her to be miserable. If I were made immortal and had to watch generations of loves pass on I'd throw myself off a cliff. I hate the idea of being immortal and enduring that. Sorry but I've already made up my mind she does that.
@@samdickenson5852 But you can make new friends and family. And still there are other princesses who are her friends too. The longer time passes, less u miss people who u have lost. Besides seeing them getting old and dying pacefully doesnt hurt you that much because u are prepared for their death overtime
@@NeteriXX They'd die eventually too. Like I said you'd be watching generations of loved ones die while you remain. That's why immortality is a fate worse than death. Its okay if you don't agree with me and could live with that, but its my opinion. I wouldn't endure it though. True loss can heal overtime, but I'm firm in my belief. I wouldn't take immortality, its a curse. I'd rather die. As for the Princesses, we don't know they are still around since they didn't appear in the epilogue. My theory is they gave up their immortality when they gave up the crown.
I remember crying to this when I was younger, 6 years later and I’m still crying
I'm so glad that you brought them back twilight sparkle and it's was so cute that they get to see the pictures of them together it's so gorgeous!
This video gave me inspiration for this new line that I myself wrote:
"An hour spent with the ones you love will be worth more than a lifetime of eternity."
And you know what? This is actually very true. Well, sure. A lifetime of eternity will give you opportunities and experiences beyond anyone's imagination. But what's the point of all that if you cant spend it all with the ones you love?
And this is why I consider mortal lives to be more valuable than immortality. Because with immortality, life will just repeat itself over and over again. And in one way, quite literally. But with mortal lives, the fact that we cant last forever makes appreciate every moment with our loved ones. And it gives us hope that we will see them again, if they fall behind us.
And for you, dear reader. Your life is a valuable one. No matter where you're from. No matter who you are. No matter what you've done. Please, dont ever forget that. You're a beautiful person, a brilliant person, and you are loved immensely.
But most of all, please remember. I may outlive you, or you will outlive me. But either way, remember that even though we may not ever meet, speak to eachother, laugh with eachother, hug eachother, or even see eachother. Know that I love you. With all my heart. For you are a beautiful person. And you are the most valuable thing in the world.
I love you, to the next life, and back.
Miguel Rojas thank you
I cried reading this. Thank you.
Miguel Rojas
Shit, you made me cry again ;_;
You are the best sad story writer...
Alana's Life ya 😞😢
If we all make it to the point of age-reversal therapies (which are getting pretty rediculously close now), I doubt we won't appreciate time spent with loved ones as much as we do now.
Seriously though, these mice... Top one had one aspect of aging reversed, bottom had none. They're both the same age... The world is changing. And soon. www.wired.com/images_blogs/wiredscience/2011/11/senescence_modification.jpg
I don't understand what you guys are saying about "Twilight dies" i dont see that all in this video. All i see mostly is that shes sacrificing her title as a princess for her friends so she can see them again. Then falls on her side from exhaustion not passing away. Thats all i see.
Alicorns are immortal or just live a really long time. She gave that up giving away the rest of the life that she could have lived making her mortal.
It's meant to be interpreted both ways, which was mentioned during this video's first release.
The two main speculations are that:
1.) Twilight dies, henceforth giving up her magic and immortality of that of an Alicorn to see and live with the friends she lost over time in the afterlife.
2.) When Twilight gives up her wings, she gives up immortality and great power to bring her friends back from the dead, hence why she only passed out and didn't die. Since Alicorn magic has the possibility of doing that.
The fact is, the story was never meant to be centered on whether she died or not. The story focused on how Twilight was willing to give up everything, be there death or not, to see her friends and live with them once more. She risked her immortality and great power for her friends, because she knew that friendship and love and such as are, and always will be, more important than living forever and having the power of a princess.
Iilay ama
I WAS CUTTING ONIONS... I SWEAR!!
Iilay ama I agreed with you before watching the video a second time, if you think about it.. maybe twilight really died and the reason she was with her friends was because she was in heaven with them? probably not, but just another way to look at it.
6 years later.... And it still gives me the chills... I love it
its been 10 years for me, this video still gets to me. you did an amazing job Argo.
I've just recently found out that I just lost a dear friend of mine... I really loved this man because I knew if I needed someone to complain to, to get something off my chest he was always there for me to just listen and give advice to me when I needed it! R.I.P dear friend JOHN
Legendary foot steps which long since has faded to the world linger in its heart, noble they were, brave their sacrifice was and will always be, in rememberence of the one who’s footsteps where new in the sands of time but have had a long journey, for they end today as it reunites with those legends in mind, body and soul. In rememberence. And even as those foot steps fall and will fade, they will remember. They will know their story, lost to the sands. They will not exist in misery, but love and
Rememberence.
Jeez, u have made a poem good sir.
@Hypedragon21 Wow... That's just.... um. Really deep and emotional and stuff y'know.
a creation of perfection not just from the animating but the effects used with her magic especially near the end so amazing job
When I first watched this video it made me cry so good job on the animation and for making people cry on it
That’s where the crying started…
4:05
That shot…
That damn shot…
;-;
;-;
;-;
;-;
;-;
This is amazing. Truly one of the best things I’ve ever seen. It makes me cry every time. The emotion just gets to you
Well it makes u cry
Years later I come back to this video, and I felt the same powerful feeling I felt when I first watched it
That feeling, a grey area between hurt / sadness and joyful / happiness
I cant place a finger on the exact feeling, and that just goes to show how powerful this truly is.
Still hits hard 😢
