If you experience weird color issues while watching it on Chrome, I recommend going to chrome://flags/ and find "force color profile", then set it to sRGB. It should set it back to normal and allow you to actually see the video and many others like they were truly intended. (Seriously, Chrome is really weird when it comes to color rendering) Also, I really recommend you to go pay a visit to MelodicPony's channel and listen to the rest of his music, it's that good. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the video!
i found this on my history and decided to watch again and when i saw the unicorns that where raising the moon on the floor i remembered that the recent episode "Horse Play" said something about it being VERY hard to do and sometimes almost fatal... i found the fact that you got that even before that episode released very interesting!
Fun fact about that one, the subject was brought up in The Journal of the Two Sisters by Amy Keating Rogers back in 2014. I didn't expect it to be brought up in the show at all.
fun fact, from memory about the spell I think it was actually implied that it took more than 6 (I think around anywhere from 6 - 12) but it also was said to drain there magic completely and in some rare cases make it to where they couldn't cast spells again. Only starswirl was able to cast it on his own before that and that had him bedridden for quite a while (not sure how long or if mentioned from memory) so the fact she can do that on a daily basis and NOT have her magic zapped away and STILL cast other spells is the most amazing thing about her power. (ps Luna best princess :) )
@@blasto652yup! The diary of the two sisters book ot whatever it was stated it took 10 unicorns EACH time they raised the moon! With star swirl being strong enough to lead multiple times. When luna gets her cutie mark/learns to raise it, it was because they literally ran out of enough unicorns capable of doing it (they didnt die, they just lost magical capabilities. Luna restored them after she learns to control the moon)
@@Denmanisbetter it shows how powerful alicorns really are. stronger than a regular unicorn as in their name it says ALLicorn. meaning land, sky, even the unicorn too combined.
if we imagine this as an alternate timeline, than the creation of NightMare Moon can been seen very differently. because starswirl always helped her raise the moon, Luna wanted the night to stay as long as possible, because the moon reminded her of him. that's when she began to notice how no one appreciated it, and since no one appreciated the moon, she saw that no one appreciated starswirl. EDIT: since this is literally the most likes i've ever gotten, i wanted to expand on this a little more. when Luna is mourning StarSwirl, that's when you see Nightmare Moon pop out. She misses him, and she learnt to raise the Moon with his help. so naturally, she makes a connection between him and the moon. with him gone, she feels that the Moon is one of the last pieces of him she has left, and she wants it to stay as long as possible. when everyone sleeps through the Night, and Celestia keeps insisting she lower the moon, Luna get angry. She feels like lowering the Moon is letting a little bit more of Starswirls memory slip away. As time goes on, and she sees no one - not even her sister - appreciate the Moon, she sees that as them not appreciating or even remembering Starswirl. this anger overtook her, and she decided to never lower the moon, to try and make others remember Starswirl. when she returns to Eqestria after being banished, she goes to the castle where he passed away, and where Nightmare Moon arose. here, she finds the Bell that she cast her first successful spell on, the bell StarSwirl used to help her gain control of her magic. Luna lets go of her grief and her Anger, and just breathes. and Luna decides to lower the Moon
@Mrs. Luna I don't think the jealousy was truly from Luna. I believe Luna was a victim of a very subtle psychic assault enhancing small doubts pushing them into overdrive. Whoever did this was trying to destroy Equestria believing if the sisters killed one another then Equestria would soon fall. This enemy did not understand love though as instead of killing Luna, Celestia chose to banish her instead as a show of mercy.
@clearly Joiful I agree that this is how the show presented it, I just look a lot deeper and see the potential of what might be if the writers were more in depth about it. To me Equestria has been under multiple assaults since its inception. Each one designed to take away the harmony that rid Equestria of the Windigos. In my mind there is a Darkseid type mastermind that feeds off the negative energy of that world and Equestria through the bonds of friendship threatens his/her power. In the case of Luna, sending a subtle mental message heightening jealousy. She can hold court on the plane of dreams through her magic having love and appreciation anytime she wants. She could very likely raise bits for the royal treasury from ponies just to have active time on the dream plane with her. Who doesn't wish we could consciously influence our dreams?
Man, I really missed out on some talent during my time with the FiM community. Seeing this more than two years after its release and only after the end of FiM is kind of heartbreaking, especially after finding out about MelodicPony.
@@lpsflatpaint5933 he was a mlp fan music composer that died 7 years ago. He had made the music in this video. He made some truly magical pieces. Rip melodicpony
I'm speechless, this is just beautiful, probably one of the best animations this fandom has ever made, damn, the story is solid and it fits so well for luna and the animation Is more than memorable, with his progression and envyronments, just wow
Hello Minty. I am lucky enough to have been in contact with MelodicPony back in 2014, although only through the internet, and I know him enough to be sure he would have been deeply moved by your artwork. This is some of the highest tributes any musician can get, and it only saddens me he is not around to witness it any more. I love the animation and the story you created for the song. It really does honour to Melodic's music. I also want to thank you, for both Kelly and myself, for sharing our Melodic Memorial project in the description. It does mean a lot. Thank you so much and best of luck on your tomorrow's panel on Nightmare Nights.
Aelipse said it all. Thank you from both of us. Like I said during the panel, it's crazy to think about all the friends around the world I've made from watching a show about pastel horses. If I keep writing, I'll get my keyboard wet so I better stop. Thank you for your help with the panel, thank you for helping get the word out about the project, and most importantly, thank you for giving us this wonderful, beautiful, emotional work of ethereality that, while having no physical form, still touches the heart of all who watch it.
I like to think this was Luna's first time raising the moon since her banishment. The flashback of her being unable to due to Starswirls passing implies she became corrupt sometime soon after, possibly the last time she ever raised the moon was before his passing. Now she's returned to a world where he is still gone, and despite her fears of becoming Nightmare Moon, she continues to raise the moon for him and everyone else
"According to EQD, he sadly passed away at the age of 27 due to a stroke back in June 2016" that's for MelodicPony, no clue about the others but hopefully peacefully... RIP MelodicPony, Dyani-yahto, and King Mars
MelodicPony died at the age of 27 due to a stroke Dyani-Yahto committed suicide at an unknown age (he only had a DA account, and he did not reveal his age) And King Mars died from a heart attack on his way back home. May they rest in peace
This was actually shown at one of the panels at Nightmare Nights just a few hours before the Season finale. It was my first con, and I was lucky enough to be there for both. :) While the character movement feels stilted, and things like mouth movement and contact between characters looks rather weird, the animation as a whole is very beautiful (the backgrounds most of all), and fits very well with the music. I am forever a fan of MelodicPony's music, and Luna's Determination was an excellent choice to animate.
A 5 minute song, and yet you somehow managed to fit in 5 periods from Luna's life. And, have to mention, without vocals or text. That is just incredible.
This was absolutely amazing! I can't believe this hasn't gone viral in the community yet. The use of the 3D and 2D animation is so nice and all the backgrounds are so great.
Not being rude, but according to mlp's series itself, when starswirl was back, he said: "My! You've grown taller since the last time I saw you!" He said that to Luna and Celestia. So Starswirl was waaaayyy older than Celestia and Luna.
But alicorns live a longer(maybe immortal) lifespan so it also kinda makes sense that star swirl can be as young as luna, but anyways, its good that you have sourced canon though haha
@@theaterdude7772 actually starswirl is much more older than them. He cast an immortal spell on him and the alicorns. And btw.. he was the one who created the alicorns
I looked it up and this came out the same day that MLP season 7(when Starswirl is shown for the first time on screen) I find it funny in a way this was a cool apsect of what may have been between Luna and Starswirl only to learn that Luna and Celestia are actually his students
This has been by far one of my favourite animations on RUclips. And will always will be. I love the message of mourning the loss of someone, then finding the courage to let go. I love it! 🌘❤️
I'm sobbing. This is simply austounding... requiescat in pace, MelodicPony. We shall miss you, but never forget you. If only you were here with us to see this...
I'm so glad to see this was finished and brought to life in such amazing beauty. Watching the animatic and then this again years later, this is truly so magnificent!
Почему такие анимации набирают так мало просмотров и лайков? Это же просто шикарно! Автор очень старался. Да, пусть на фоне просто музыка, но почему нет? Обидно, а видео годное.
Грустный факт: это не просто музыка, эта композиция называется Luna's Determination, которую написал ушедший из жизни несколько лет назад музыкант MelodicPony...Только сейчас это осознала
@@kivalombre Оу, я даже не знала этого... Было бестактно с моей стороны назвать это "просто" музыкой, прошу прощения. Однако, от того факта, что автор данной композиции умер, огорчает ещё больше.
@@condensed-milk222 Вы знаете, я сама только недавно узнала Luna's Determination в этой анимации и не предъявляю никаких претензий. Просто хочу, чтобы об этом тоже знали. У автора есть канал, его творчество бесценно. Прошло столько лет, я очень боюсь забыть его и что другие забудут. Надеюсь, что память о нем будет жить вечно.
Oh my god... :'DDD This is so emotional, got me tearing up. Such an utterly amazing and mind-blowing animation, in addition to MelodicPony's emotional music covering Luna's Theme from the show as well... The result of this alchemy is very very powerful. You did amazing with this, paying tribute to MelodicPony and to our beloved Princess of the Night... and her teacher
What a beautiful tribute to MelodicPony, it bring a tear to my eye to know he'll never see this, but I"m sure he would be so moved and honoured by it if he did
Beautiful as ever. I can tell that most of the time went into the backgrounds. The animation is kind of awkward with the head movements, but it doesnt detract.
Oh my gosh......this is amazing!!! I love it soooo much, it's so sweet X) And I'm sure Melodic would be so proud or this, if not then proud of you ♡ -and that moment you're an Undertale fan and see the title lmao-
Marvelous work! Splendid story! Spectacular effects! Fabulous results! You have outstood yourself again this time! Please keep up doing what you love, and may the best luck for you!
Such a heartwarming animation. I hope MelodicPony can see you from the heavens, and talk to you in your dreams. And be in your heart whenever you need him to be.
That was so beautiful, Minty. You did a great job on this one. It also has sentimental value since now I've learned that MelodicPony passed away.. I'm sure he and the others that you dedicated this song to are smiling down upon it.
I never realized MelodicPony passed away :( Was my favorite brony musician, and also made my favorite song of all time, which is this one: 5:23 We will always remember you ...
WolfX1120 YOU'RE EVERYWHERE wuuut rlly I've seen so many of your comments on RUclips how is this possible YOU.. YOU'RE THE PROFECY XD sorry for my bad English I casually speak and write in French
Wonderful work Minty, was a pleasure seeing this come to life from start to finish, this fandom is a better place because of creators like you. Cheers and good luck at Nightmare Nights!
This was absolutely beautiful and stellar animation, you have just earned another subscriber, that video was so well crafted, even without any voiced parts it was magnificent. I love this and the homage to MelodicPony.
This has got to be your best one yet. The animation is gorgeous and flows very well. You've grown in both skills and talent, Minty! Well done using them so well. Hats off to you..
What an amazing animation! You absolutely nailed Luna's emotions. I have to say, this is a beautiful representation of a possible backstory for her and Starswirl. I can imagine exactly how you must feel about the season finale which just aired, invalidating so many people's interpretations about the ancient past. I'm right there with you in this regard as my own rather elaborate story just had the same thing happen. Nevermind it all! What you made was wonderful, and it doesn't matter if the show diverges. Thanks for sharing your talents and vision with all of us.
This was a remarkable piece of work, worth every second. The way you captivated every shot with the tempo of the music made it all the more entertaining and respectable. You really captivated the emotional Roller Coaster she went through exquisitely and I even saw a couple references to the journal. The frame rate fell together marvelously, very smooth and well planned. I’m sure MelodicPony would have really loved this. You are quite sensational. Thank you for taking the time to create this.
Honestly that was very heart touching. You did a splendid job on telling the story and I'm genuinely on the verge of crying... Well done and keep up the good work! ^^
I loved how you animated this with Luna's flowing mane and how she met Starshwirl who help her raise the moon... She then remembers what happened in the pass... Best animation I've seen in 2019
MelodicPony would be proud that his music was played in such a beautiful way. I am glad that you kept the story hinting how Starswirl helped her at first with the moon and stars, and kept just that part. There have been many other stories about how Luna became Nightmare Moon, and I'm actually glad this one didn't focus completely on that. After Starswirl's passing she lost who connected her to her moon and stars, and didn't have anyone that understood her as much.
Боже мой ! Как я хочу плакать от радости ! Анимация получилась шедевром . Я так долго ждала её что когда увидела то я очень сильно заплакала , потому что это очень трогательно и очень красиво .
That animation was fantastic and the music soo beutifull you did such a good job MelodicPony RIP. And don't even get me started on the background it was gorgeous
2021 for RUclips to recommend me the original. And now later still in 2021 to find this animation. Both are beautiful. I just wish I had found each sooner. May MelodicPony fly in peace.

What app do you use to animate
The fact that it took 6 unicorns to raise/set the moon, but luna can do it on her own... makes her even better than she already was

*raising the moon has filled you with DETERMINATION*
Incredible work. Everything was luminous and beautiful. Lighting was so, so well done. The music gave this an immensely wistful, reverent feel.
Marvelous work! Splendid story! Spectacular effects! Fabulous results! You have outstood yourself again this time! Please keep up doing what you love, and may the best luck for you!
Megaman Hunter, I agree!
Such a heartwarming animation. I hope MelodicPony can see you from the heavens, and talk to you in your dreams. And be in your heart whenever you need him to be.
holy CELESTIA
This is so incredible, massive congratulations and brohoof to you.
This is just so beautiful and magnificant and magical, WOW!!
That was so beautiful, Minty. You did a great job on this one. It also has sentimental value since now I've learned that MelodicPony passed away.. I'm sure he and the others that you dedicated this song to are smiling down upon it.
3:25 Oh, wow! That's some eye-opening scenery right there.
I never realized MelodicPony passed away :(
Was my favorite brony musician, and also made my favorite song of all time, which is this one: 5:23
We will always remember you ...
Beautiful,,, /)

WolfX1120 YOU'RE EVERYWHERE wuuut rlly I've seen so many of your comments on RUclips how is this possible YOU.. YOU'RE THE PROFECY XD sorry for my bad English I casually speak and write in French
I'm subbed to a lot channels... and i tack my sub box every day ;3
Ooooh so that's why :3
The Wolf see all...
Even though Starswirl never died in the actual story, this was amazing.
It's so beautiful...Thank you.
Wow, that was beautiful. MelodicPony would have been proud. You did a wonderful job.
Wonderful work Minty, was a pleasure seeing this come to life from start to finish, this fandom is a better place because of creators like you. Cheers and good luck at Nightmare Nights!
What a way to honor MelodicPony! I'm sure he will be proud of this kind of dedication to his work. Great job, Minty Root.
Awww that is so beautiful!!
This was absolutely beautiful and stellar animation, you have just earned another subscriber, that video was so well crafted, even without any voiced parts it was magnificent. I love this and the homage to MelodicPony.
That is some gorgeous animation! A truly great tribute to MelodicPony.
Fact that I'm a massive fan of Luna and I love her makes this 10x better
What an absolutely beautiful animation. It made me shed a tear. ;u;
Twilight Sparkle Spike ate your cookies
This has got to be your best one yet. The animation is gorgeous and flows very well.
You've grown in both skills and talent, Minty! Well done using them so well. Hats off to you..
Beautiful
Luna is an Angel Bless Her! =)
What an amazing animation! You absolutely nailed Luna's emotions. I have to say, this is a beautiful representation of a possible backstory for her and Starswirl. I can imagine exactly how you must feel about the season finale which just aired, invalidating so many people's interpretations about the ancient past. I'm right there with you in this regard as my own rather elaborate story just had the same thing happen. Nevermind it all! What you made was wonderful, and it doesn't matter if the show diverges. Thanks for sharing your talents and vision with all of us.
This was a remarkable piece of work, worth every second. The way you captivated every shot with the tempo of the music made it all the more entertaining and respectable. You really captivated the emotional Roller Coaster she went through exquisitely and I even saw a couple references to the journal.
The frame rate fell together marvelously, very smooth and well planned. I’m sure MelodicPony would have really loved this. You are quite sensational. Thank you for taking the time to create this.
This was so sad but happy and I love everything about this. I love how there were no words needed to tell the story.
That was probably the best My little Pony animation I've ever seen. God, if only the show itself was this detailed.
Wow this nearly broke epic v’s heart, this is amazing!
Spectacular work Minty. R.I.P MelodicPony, Dyani-Yahto, and King Mars. You will be missed.
Omg this so beautiful!!!
Honestly that was very heart touching. You did a splendid job on telling the story and I'm genuinely on the verge of crying... Well done and keep up the good work! ^^
I know this was made a while ago, but Starswirl is actually Luna's teacher, he is far older than her.
Romantic love isn’t the only type of love.
Beautiful work Minty..... That was AMAZING!!!! You did a great job creating this video... Melodicpony would have been so proud....😔😳😢
Great now I'm shipping Starswirl and Luna
You should this is my cannon.
Great now I’m doing the same
isnt he old-
I am too.
@@hanifaghulam1065 like 2000 and Luna is over 1000 so idk
I loved how you animated this with Luna's flowing mane and how she met Starshwirl who help her raise the moon... She then remembers what happened in the pass... Best animation I've seen in 2019
I love how these animations have no speaking in them. It makes them so much better 🥳
I really like the music. The animation kinda looked like Duo Cartoonist's but it was your own. Nicely done!!!
This is absolutely gorgeous!!!
Bravo!!
MelodicPony would be proud that his music was played in such a beautiful way. I am glad that you kept the story hinting how Starswirl helped her at first with the moon and stars, and kept just that part. There have been many other stories about how Luna became Nightmare Moon, and I'm actually glad this one didn't focus completely on that. After Starswirl's passing she lost who connected her to her moon and stars, and didn't have anyone that understood her as much.
That's incredibly powerful imagery, awesome work!
The entire video is simply gorgeous!
Melodic would have loved to see this~
May he rest in piece
Боже мой ! Как я хочу плакать от радости ! Анимация получилась шедевром . Я так долго ждала её что когда увидела то я очень сильно заплакала , потому что это очень трогательно и очень красиво .
Lovely animation, and lovely music as well. We will miss you, MelodicPony.
Why Im watchin it only in 2k19?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!? Its amazing😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The art!! Omg! Amazing :D the lighting, effects and backgrounds WOW! The animation in the beginning and end was so smooth.
SO AMAZING AND SO BEAUTIFUL YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB Minty Root
This is so late but this is beautiful! Rest in peace MelodicPony 💙
2:31 one of the "dead" ones open their eyes
I have no words
BEST ANIMATION I EVER SAW
Perfectly made and clean quality!!
Beautiful. Please consider animating "Derpy's Lullaby" or Pinkie & Berry's duet of "Smile".
That animation was fantastic and the music soo beutifull you did such a good job MelodicPony RIP. And don't even get me started on the background it was gorgeous
luna will always be the princess of the moon 🌕🌕🌕🌕
2021 for RUclips to recommend me the original. And now later still in 2021 to find this animation. Both are beautiful. I just wish I had found each sooner. May MelodicPony fly in peace.
It reminds me of an oc of mine: he also was a great student and had a deep relationship with Luna
This was so beautifully animated! The colors, the lighting, the effects... WOW!
Ура! Стар Свил Бородатый вернулся!
Ты руссич!!!
Ого русские привет!
I've been searching for this and I've finally found it... it's beautiful...
what a moving tribute
3:18 always gives me the chills cuz it matches the music so well and is so graceful
Beautiful animation, and an amazing tribute to a great composer.
The TIME and EFFORT this must have taken. Wow. So beutiful even without voices. Such an elegant way to convey emotions!
