- From cute, to funny, do downright disgusting, My Little Pony fan animations are a big part of the fandom's history. In today's video, I explore the backstory (as well as give my personal thoughts on) some of the most iconic/infamous ones.

I’m autistic, and I remember I resonated with Fluffle Puff so much due to her saying little or nothing at all, doing seemingly weird things with no explanation at all, and her tongue being stuck out a lot. I did all of those things as a child before I started masking/hiding those traits. I loved that series endlessly.
♥♥♥♥♥
Same brother
Fluffle puff themselves replied? 😩 Ugh that just makes my autistic ass feel even more validated
Absolutely same
Same! I’m autistic too and I’ve learned to be myself and not mask it! And I act like mlp and Pokémon characters 🥺🥺🥺☺️☺️☺️
Howdy, I'm a former member of SFS!
Fun fact about Snowdrop: originally we had 3 to 4 animators to help put it together, but at the last minute almost all of them dropped out of the project. So in order to get it done, the last animator left spent a week from morning to night animating 90 percent of the scenes. It's a miracle Snowdrop even came out.
Well someone should thank that animator! Snowdrop was my whole childhood 💕
No way, you worked on it?
WOAH YOU WORKD ON IT?? thats so cool omg
OMG YOU WORKED ON IT!?
it sounds like you're one of the people who left
Don't forget "Bride of Discord", "Daughter of Discord", "Elements of Insanity", and "Remembrance"
Those were a really big part of my childhood !!
OMG ELEMENTS OF INSANITY WERE AMAZING
Daughter of Discord is nostalgic
bride of discord and daughter of discord are literally SO iconic 😫
LEGIT REMEMBERED THESE AND TRIED NOT TO SQUEAL WITH JOY
My favorite fanmade character ship was always screwball x mothball
BoD and DoD were everything to me!!
"Children of the Night" was a pretty big one, as well. That one was one of my favorites of the fan animations. It basically served as an MV to a very beautifully sung cover of Come Little Children of Hocus Pocus (one that I listened to way more often than I should've, if I'm being honest) but with its story focusing more on noncanon MLP lore. If there was a fan animation that captured the essence of childhood innocence, mysteries that lie in the night, and the dark whimsification of the both combined, it was this fan animation, right there.
Yes! This was my favorite. I used to hum the song when I was trying to fall asleep.
What ever happened to Duo Cartoonist and why did their Channel get taken down?
I WATCHED THAT A LOT
@@kittykittybangbang9367 I think a copyright strike
My Favorite MLP Fan Animations, are "Don't Mine At Night and Button's Adventures Pilot Episode" by Jananimations and ShadyVox, "Sonic Vs Rainbow Dash and Beat It AMV" by AnimatedJames, "Every episode of Two Best Sisters Play", "Double Rainboom", and "Joker meets My Little Pony".
I’m sorry but the Smile HD recreation had me crying on the floor lol. My favorite case in the fandom is MR Davies disappearance. I wonder where he is now
@Pindé what did he post?? i don't have facebook
@Pindé Really? I thought his last post was the announcement of the Rainbow Factory animation.
which we're never getting
If what he said about being a storyboard artist for FiM is true, then I don't doubt that he was unceremoniously fired and probably blacklisted from animation work once the HD videos went viral.
And considering the part he played in the destruction of animation on TH-cam, I don't miss him.
I absolutely agree. The inclusion of the mlp toys in the video was flipping hilarious lol
@@graphitetailgrace3870 holy shit that actually explains why smile he looked exactly like mlp
Let’s not forget some more iconic ones too:
- Lullaby for a Princess
- Angel of Darkness (that one MV of Luna 😭)
- Fall of the Crystal Empire (a Personal favourite, it was sooo good 😍😍)
Is angel of darkness about that old Spanish song where a baby becomes the moon or is that another thing
There also was a good animation where Applejack and brae burn sing a song
@@ImmaLittlePip Um- no, that’s not the song I was referring to.
@@ImmaLittlePip You're thinking of Son Of Princess Luna! One of my favorite projects, definitely one of hidden treasures of MLP Fandom.
Fall of the crystal empire deserves a place on a pedestal, if you ask me
@@rexberkova7328 oh, I completely forgot about son of Princess luna
The theory that MisterDavey was a ex-animator for MLP is still funny to me.
Wouldn't doubt if he was
He maybe stopped due to someone finding out
As funny of a thought that is i would love to know the reason why he left
"Why dont you go play with the neighbor's kid?"
The neighbor's kid: 19:16
I miss this era of the internet so much, as a kid i wished i could do this stuff so badly, i cant wait until I’m skilled enough to come to par with them.
Same
Same to both of those
Im currently working on an animation for a very old mlp fan song that Im surprised doesn't have one yet (at least not a full one, not that Ive seen anyway).
I suck at drawing, cant draw ponies for the life of me, cant shade for the life of me, still havent memorized mlp anatomy, oh and Im terrible at animating and am on a phone. This is going to go GRRRREAT! *And now I have to actually do it because I have already asked the song artist for permission and she said yes so the pressures on
It’s sad, since most of them don’t do MLP stuff anymore :(
@@Flair258 What song is it?
The 2010's were a golden age for mlp animations, i mean i may not have seen them all but i do know that there were all kinds like awesome animations, weird animations, and creepy animations but they were all creative and well made nonetheless and i still congratulate the talented animators for giving those animations to the fandom!
Growing up watching them was an absolute treat. Mixing 2010s meme culture with my little pony was bound to bring parodies and memes that would be entertaining for us all
Don't forget the music. The Living Tombstone carried MLP songs on his back
True
I grew up with mlp because of fan animations
"Don't mine at night" is just gold, I reaaaaaaaally loved it as a kid.
Yeah it was a really good parody song of an already existing Minecraft parody song that was based off of the Last Friday Night song by Katy Perry.
Honestly it's just as catchy as the other ones.
Am I the only one who's beyond shocked that this fandom NEVER got into the re-animated craze that was popular a few years back?
Hasbro would’ve taken it down, and the fandom was dying out after mid-2010s.
As someone who was 15 at the time these came out, it’s so surreal when I hear about people who were actual children back then. I remember all the hype that surrounded these so clearly, it’s crazy to think all that was now 10 years ago
Right .. ten years ago I was 11..
... I was like 7 when I watched smile HD
WHO LET ME HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET
@@lilacramen7483 bro same the mlp fandom was traumatizing i remember searching up mlp in Google and there was just inflation and nsfw art 💀💀 these gave me mental breakdowns as a kid
@@Heezbungus SAME THAT KINDA ART SCARRED ME 💀
15 year olds are actually children... lmao
Smile HD is probably something I remember very fondly. It was hyper violent, but it was honestly to the point I couldn't take it seriously. Unfortunately that many were apparently scarred by it
That's the video that made me not watch the shows anymore. My kid self couldn't handle it at that time 🤣
Even back then i found Smile HD super cool, like how the animation is on beat with the music, and just how fluid everything was! It was just really badass to me
@@hiide0us123 honestly yeah man, the animation really is smooth as hell and holds up to this day
Low-key my introduction to guro
I’m one of those ones who came out traumatized 😭
No matter how many of these you remembered, you MUST remember the most important message of them all.
Stay. Out. Of. Her. Shed.
Trust me, I *WILL*
I'll never go in any shed ever
That and “Crush. Kill. Destroy. Swag” I mean a whole ass crowd of people started chanting it during Bronycon once.
"I don't know what that means, so."
-Andrea Libman
don’t bring me back to that. please.
my edgy preteen self loved "The Elements of Insanity." I can't remember who it was by, but it was an SFM animation with some really cool character designs and some funky lore lol
Me too! Watching it now it’s so cringy, but I used to LOVE it
Oh wow, I forgot double rainboom existed. I remember being obsessed with it when I was younger. I even thought it was an actual mlp episode and was so confused as to why I never saw it air on tv
Same!!
JSDNDJXNJDN YEA SAME
ayy me too
same lmoa-
The ones I remember the most are “The Moon Rises”, “Spare” (with Luna), “Lullaby for a Princess”, the Owl City “Shooting Star” (a Twilight animation), “Dinky’s Destiny” and “Project Thundercloud”, “I Am Octavia”, “Picture Perfect Pony”, and also “A Tale of One Shadow”. And of course the other ones mentioned in the video like “Snowdrop” are unforgettable. Those ones completely amazed and delighted my child brain back then lol. And there still impressive to this day ngl
Lullaby for a princes is still and always will be so beautiful
I loved these too when i was young!🌌 These artists are so talented!!!
Oh! I can’t believe I forgot about “Goodbye my friend” by Space Reverse! That one was unique since it was originally a comic turned into animation. It had a really wonderful story
so weird how the mlp community introduced so many younger people into morbid shit. it worked on me for sure
Hey Skunks, did you know when TH-cam decided to make people label videos that were 'child friendly' or not, they actually labeled Smile HD as kid friendly purely because it had MLP chars in it lol. A lot of people were waiting for this kind of stuff to happen when TH-cam decided to do this after that lawsuit they had lol.
I've seen family guy and king of the hill clips get labeled as kid friendly as well as some anime targeted towards adults and older teens lol
@@sainoflycianleague4170 I'll top that one, a rapid-fire compilation of clips from the english dub of Panty & Stocking, showing more than 300 instances where "The F Word" was uttered in the show, got marked by the algorithim as 'TH-cam Kids' at one point. I only wish I had screen-shotted the page when I saw it.
@@RailRide legit I saw a anime kill compilation from 2012 get labeled as kids and it was higurashi and first of the North Star clips lol
@@sainoflycianleague4170 call fun and games till the kids see what happens to dogs in jojo
@@liltimmywithagun601wait till they see what happens in higurashi
When I was younger, I GENUINELY thought Double Rainboom was a real episode. Since I was only 6 at the time I didn't notice the difference in animation and voice acting or that it was even a crossover. I don't think I actually knew who the Powerpuff Girls even WERE at the time lol
Almost all of these I remember vividly, but surprisingly I managed to avoid the .MOV series until like.. maybe 2017/18? God knows HOW but I did-
Also, that recreation of Smile HD is like.. my favourite thing ever lmao
An MLP SFM animator I used to watch back in the day was EdPlus777, haven't looked at any of their stuff in the past 2 or 3 years, but it used to be one of my favourites from what I remember.. good memories
I was gonna say the same thing!!! Ii think I was 9 or 10?? crazy.
OMG IM JUST NOW REALIZING THAT WASN'T A REAL EPISODE AND THERE WASN'T AN ACTUAL CROSSOVER-
ME FUCKING TOO OMG
Lol same, I thought it was real and cool
Dude, me too.
Fun fact: the Two Best Sisters Play video was the first time I ever heard the F-word! I heard it and honestly it had no hostility in it, it sounded soft and benign, not like other curse words that felt sharp and offensive. I think about that a lot
I remember watching SHED for the first time and being absolutely terrified of Fluttershy’s facial expressions. I also remember consistently checking behind my chair during dinner with my family to make sure she wasn’t there with a chainsaw ready to kill me 😭
ur recreation of smile hd was absolutely incredible. truly cinema.
agreed.
26:20 It wasn't just the dentist video, the entire channel was privated. This is unfortunately a daily occurrence with fan content these days, people keep deleting and privating classic videos and channels.
It’s such a shame cause I wanted to relive my nostalgia:(
This really was a walk down memory lane. Thanks for diving into such an important cornerstone of this community's history, Shunks. I'm happy to see Bronies are still carrying on the torch even today, but there'll be nothing quite like the unbridled creativity in the early fandom and the sheer adrenaline rush from being apart of it.
It really boggles my mind that such level of creativity could possibly be obsolete. The creativity of other fandoms never went away. I really wonder what makes this so different.
I was always a fan of rainbow dash presents, and the mentally advanced series. Especially the my little Dashie episode lol
Saaame
His stuff still holds up and gets better the older I get
Reevaluation of the self. What have ye become? You'll never find the light to remove the darkness in your unsparked body. You brony abominations of the archons, no star shall guide you in the clearest of nights, no wind will blow your sail even in the most intense of gales. You and your archonic brony kinds lack Synesis to appreciate the light of the world of the Aeons. You are far away, far away from the light. It is I who am Dahomey, sagacity, the great builder who stands in the presence of the holy divine intellect. I have been sent to speak with you and save you from the grasp of the lawless. And I shall teach you about your root. It is I, who am understanding. I am one of the four light-givers, who stand in the presence of the great invisible intellect. Do you think these Brony rulers have any power over you? None of them can prevail against the root of truth; for on its account it appeared in the final ages; and these authorities will be restrained. And these authorities cannot defile you and that generation; for your abode is in incorruptibility. Now the uniform crowd around the My Little Pony Fandom is the Lower Nature, but those whom thou seest in the My Little Pony fandom, if they have not also one form, It is because every Limb of the One who came down has not yet been gathered together. But as soon as the Higher Nature and Sentience, coming to me in obedience to my Voice, is taken up, then what does not hear me now will become as thou are, a force of darkness, and shall no longer be what it is now, but ask yourself, ''What have I become?'', ''Will I ever find my place in the sun?'', ''Will I ever find Jerusalem?''. Bronies are far away from the light, their mind shrouded with instinctive darkness of the material realm dominated by the archetype of the ego. Bronies will never hold anything dear to their true egotistical selfish wrathful sarkic indignation. Unlike a leaf on the wind, a brony will never land on their place on the sun. Sarkics draining the light of Sophia bringing upon the archons. You shackle the Elpis brought upon by aeons from the tree of life. You drain the pneuma upon the ethos of the Pleroma. Would the tide of change go in favor to the power of archons? The brony flourishes free in the modern age with no regards to the pneuma of the aeons. The brony is free to spread their dominion upon the pneumatics. The Pleroma holds against the horde of hylics unleashed upon by androgynous archons forces under the Demiurge. The brony is a seducer like an archon to normalize savagery of the flesh, the lowest of the mind, the instinctive level, the Sarkic bronies. The sarkic abomination of the Demiurge. What wrath shall thee unsleash upon the material world? Brony abomination subjugation of the instinct upon the divine intellect. The Sagrada Familia is an epitome of the power of the divine intellect gifted by the aeons. You and your Brony kinds are unknowingly shrouding the gift of the divine intellect in humanity by spreading lies made by the archons to which you conceive to your marriage with the flesh. You are at the far end of the tether and when your thoughts won't fit together you'll need to deprogram your mind. It's like seeing a new day. Just what you need to make you nearer to the light. Ekklesiastikos Ainos pneuma rejuvenated by the star dust beyond the Material realm. You are a gross group of fetishists of horses. You have made a gross cultural materialist perversion of Gaia's flock. A core part of the consumption crisis that bronies exploit is the perceived lack of sentience of horses. This subjugation of archonic bronies over horses that can't express to humans their thoughts is a way for bronies to take the image of horses and replace them to become one with the demiurge. The profound blocking of genetic diversity done by bronies to nature to ensure that humans destroy nature and bronies would now completely take the image of Gaia's flock and fulfill their sarkic desires. The unprincipled exception of archonic transcription to tolerate a hierarchy of The Loyal Society of the Flesh. The metabrain of the archonic bronies pervades society to enshroud the inherited light through metagenesis locking human psyche that would guarantee reign of the Egotistical self that the Shadow hold inside our repressed self that reach back to the realm of our animal ancestors. The brony guarantees such a transformation to occur and continue the rule of the Demiurge to block the light from reaching the Pleroma. The principle of natural selection does not require it, selection can operate rapidly. The bronies are a psychological rapid evolutionary deviated offshoot from the Homo Sapiens Sapiens species naturally selected by archonic forces. Geneticist Goldschmidt continued, every once in a while a macromutation might, by sheer good fortune, adapt a brony to a new mode of life, a "hopeful monster" in his terminology. Macroevolution proceeds by the rare success of these hopeful monsters, not by an accumulation of small changes within populations. The mutant gene produces its effect by changing the rates of partial processes of development. These significant change of genetic phenotype causes the individual to new behavioral changes. Response to external stimuli is drastically changed by macromutations to account for change in the phenotype of the individual. This drastic change leads to the fulfillment of the increase of the darkness inscribed into an individual. The individual loses their control on their behavior which their environmental influences, in this case fandom obsession, takes over and becomes the primary role of the individual's character, metacognition, evaluation of social constructs, perception of reality, fictional precedence over thoughts and feelings, and losing the ability to distinguish different unique precedences. These psychological change of character of an individual is due to environmental and genetic factors inhibiting normal development of the brony. Why would different partial processes of development be a significant factor to a species? Of what possible use are the imperfect incipient stages of useful structures? What good is half a jaw or half a wing? The concept of preadaptation provides the conventional answer by permitting us to argue that incipient stages performed different functions. The purpose of behavioral changes on the Homo Sapiens Sapiens in regards to the creation of an established preconceived behaviors is that these major adaptational changes in behavior is that it serves as a purpose to stall the creative useful potential behavior of the individual to the point that they unknowingly use material and informational capacity and to waste these resources in order for it to be diverted for selfish and anti developmental capacities that which their logos is diverted to the self which makes them economical and genetic burdens to both society and nature due to egotistical restrictions brought upon by environmental and genetic factors. The archons permeate these genetic phenotypes through increasing hormonal inputs of the individual. The environmental factors that change perception and behavior of an individual is because of the creation of artifacts, any medium My little pony fandom related, that imbues perception of hormonal change that affects metacognitively only to those whose genetic development has been altered through genetic macromutation. The effect of these genetic and environmental changes to a brony´s behavior is behavioral isolation due to speciation with their egotistical changed cognition. Behavioral isolation occurs when populations of the same species begin to develop different behaviors that are not recognized or preferred by members in another population. This so called behavioral isolation of sympatric speciation that creates changes to an individual from the same member of a species in the same geographic feature. Because there is no mate recognition between a brony and non-brony due to their behavioral isolation and their genetic and environmental deviations and differences. What are these environmental influences that permeate human society? How do they spread? That is what the power of fandom culture holds. The bourgeoisie poisons the cultural and intellectual well through mass consumerism. This weakens the proletariat to be timid and ignorant through degenerate art. Destroyers of the divine, neoliberal scums. The Loyal and subjugated fleshly Society controlled by the Cathedral. You are caged by cultural programming. Culture is a mass hallucination, and when you step outside the mass hallucination, you see it for what it's worth. Culture is not your friend. Culture is for other peoples’ convenience and the convenience of various institutions, fandoms, companies, churches, tax collection schemes, what have you. It is not your friend. It insults you. It disempowers you. It uses and abuses you. None of us are well-treated by culture. But the culture is a perversion. It fetishizes objects. It creates consumer mania. It preaches endless forms of false happiness, endless forms of false understandings. Mass consumerism is the opium of the masses. The People have abdicated their duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out command of public services, high civil office, legions - everything that would progress society, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just three things: Consoles, video game or movie figurines, and MLP Body pillows.
@@builder_dahomey The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.
Same! I still rewatch it all the time. XD
I rewatch these every couple of years, even though i am completely over mlp these animations still get me. Id argue they got even more funny over the years.
Hey guys! LittleShyFIM has a series on their channel dedicated to fan made pony content that are produced every month, i really recommend it for people who are nostalgic about the pony animations of the 2010’s
They're still going?!
@@maribelhalcyon Yes!
I remember showing my dad lullaby for a princess and explaining how i was dazzled by the animation. Its still beautiful to this day
Double Rainboom??? Wow! I remember seeing that with a friend years and years ago and didn’t realize that it was a fanimation! The creators of that one have my respect!
MLP gen 4 came out at the right time just at the tail end of the wild west era of the internet which allowed creators to make what they wanted without restrictions (for better or for worse)
Here's to gen 5 it's got a lot to live up to and maybe it'll be as big or somewhat big as it's predecessor
Another fan project that I remember quite fondly is Turnabout Storm. While it's not really an animation, it's still a pretty well-crafted crossover series that even inspired a fan-made sequel that's ongoing (Elements of Justice). The fact that it was actually finished and given a proper conclusion is impressive too, since that can't be said for a lot of MLP fan projects. I also really liked StormXF3 and his IRL pony videos, and that guy's still making those animations to this day! (and they're as polished as ever). There's also My Little Portal, Lullaby for a Princess, The Moon Rises Alligator in the Tub... there's a lot of good ones out there

Turnabout Storm was amazing, I only watched it recently thanks to Elements of Justice, but it holds up very well to this day.
@@builder_dahomey imma steal that real quick
Tournabout storm was my favorite mlp fan project :D
Why does that sound like an Ace Attorney parody
The smile animatic traumatized me, but i adored the snowflake animatic
I miss the 2000s and early 2010s internet
It really wasn't as restrictive like today
Copyright laws weren't strangling, people got to make content freely and I think that freedom allowed people to be creative, sure there were some edgy/offensive stuff made using the MLP brand but we also got some cool fan videos.
I think gen 4 might of been lightning in the bottle that came out at the right moment. I hope with how the internet is now generation 5 can have just as many fan made animations, videos and memes like gen 4 did
Too bad gen5 is unlikeable
Rainbow Dash Presents is an animation series by Dawn Somewhere (used to be FimFlamFilosophy) where he and his friends retell famous mlp fanfics but with the characters personalities being shifted to that of Greg's abridged series, The Mentally Advanced Series. It's my favorite out of the mlp animations and I always find myself coming back to them
I hope Shunks does a video on Greg MLP stuff
@@xanedivinedragon6553 hope so too, I would totally watch that, plus he could use the attention boost, get more people to check out not only his channel, but also his other projects outside of youtube!
@@curlystepper7386 what's he working on now
I know he stopped MLP stuff and tried other projects that ended up failing due to it not being pony relatedb
@@xanedivinedragon6553 while he did have some original animations like Gym of the Romantic Journey (I recommend it's great) right now he does podcasts of original characters playing Not DND, it's actually really good and engaging!
I still revisit that series, along with Greg’s Kaybe the Skyrim Dragon Boxer playthrough. One of my favorite creators
I wish Hasbro didn't have such a damn stick up its bottom about fan animations. Sure, Smile HD and the .MOV series are blights on the series, but nothing else warranted C&D or banning fan animations from G5. (I know the arguments about why Button's Adventures deserved a C&D, but Jan was releasing it totally for free and _never_ said he was trying to compete with the main show)
BLIGHTS?! When it comes to the exposure to children, yeah fair. I was like 6-10 when I watched Smile and .MOV, but you can’t tell me that “Crush. kill. Destroy. Swag” isn’t iconic. The quote was chanted by a whole CROWD of people at Bronycon one year.
I can kinda understand why they got a stick up their ass about it
oh man, I had forgotten about Dusk's Dawn. At the time I watched it I was like 13 or so and mostly just went along with the criticism it got because, well, it was kinda funny to make fun of, but looking back it absolutely didn't deserve the vitreol that it got. It was pretty bad obviously, but I mean, I don't know what fans at the time were expecting from an amateur fan project with a low budget and a runtime that's a lot longer than most other mlp fan animations of the day.
As a kid who watched those, I DIDN’T KNEW THEY WERE FAN ANIMATIONS
Your Smile HD recreation is genius!
It's honestly really accurate 🤣
I know you didn't talk much about Pony.Mov for the sake of avoiding controversy, but there is one thing it has in common with some of the more wholesome animated series. Like Button's Adventures and Fluffle Puff Tales, Pony.Mov had its own ask blog focused on Jappleack, the version of Applejack from Apples.Mov.
With this in mind, maybe you could do a retrospective on MLP ask blogs, too?
What controversy? The fact that Max was an edgelord. Have you even watched his recent stuff? He isn't half as edgy now
Controversy? You mean those twitter idiots that call him racists for some art he made of link etc.? Yeah okay lets belive some rando twitter idiots that are for sure not just jealous of him. I don't know what people really have against max but if anyone has ever meet him and talked to him they would know he is one of the most chill content creators out there. Just because he does over the top animations doesn't mean he is a bad person or whatever they want you to belive. Hell he was always acting on video at cons etc. When someone was filming him as this tough guy and from what i know now he is no longer doing that so yeah idk why people always have to keep making shit up.
I don't understand what controversy but maybe I have a thick skin or maybe I'm an edgy boi myself tbh
oh i remember those blogs! i liked how the whole japplejack story was based around that whole subculture of ask blogs. pretty good in my opinion adn the perfect way to end the hypothetical MLP ask blogs retrospective.
@@xarolino It's why I think it is Max Gildri's magnum opus, as much as that wouldn't come to mind for most of his fans. As Goofball responded to Max in regards to what people would remember most about his work, it would be Pony.Mov and Pony.Mov on its own.

Fallout Equestria was a big favorite au of mine. Not only was the fan fiction completed, it also got an audio drama narration that only got as far as five episodes, but an sfs animation using the audio from the first audio drama was made and done super well too. This au also got a lot of fan animations and fan songs.
I'm kind of surprised you didn't touch on the Pony Anthology series, I sometimes find myself going back and giving them a watch. Always enjoyed them and it was a good showcase of animated and musical talents of the fandom over the years. No one pony should have all that power :p.
Fun fact! Cupcakes HD was actually in production before the cupcakes fanfiction was even released online
Love these trips down memory lane. The live action recreation of Smile HD was amazing
Button's Adventures & Snowdrop are definitely two of my favorites, but I also loved Donut Steel since it was so goofy while also accurately portraying OCs & other aspects of fan culture at the time
I hope we get more of this energy soon. The world needs it. The media landscape certainly needs it
I remember the time watching that video of a crossover between PPG and MLP. The fan animation is well-made but the funny part is that both of the creators of both shows, Craig McCracken and Lauren Faust were married.
omg i remember that one!! i used to watch it so many times per day 😭
Double rainboom, fantastic one.
Omg I loooved that one
Button Mash is proto Berdly from Deltarune, and it's probably what Berdly acted like at that age.
Nah bro, fluttershy's face from shed.mov has haunted my brain ever since I watched it at 6 or 7, so much to the point were I try to avoid it at all costs-
SAME BRO
ME TOO omgg i’m so scarred 😭 when this video started and her face popped up i literally exited for a few minutes bc i was so unready for it
hey hey hey stay out of my shed.
Bride of Discord was my whole life back then! On the downside, I was exposed to a lot of stuff that someone my age shouldn't've been exposed to. Not an animation, but does anyone remember coming across an explicit mlp visual novel? Cause those images burned into my 11 year old brain and now they're part of my life forever against my will.
This brings back so many memories of the Brony fandom... thanks for sharing all these interesting facts about the fan animations. I didn't even know most of this lore behind them!
My one issue with the early years of the animation side of the fandom was many of the animators were too ambitious making fancy animations or feature length episodes without putting effort in better storytelling.
I'm one of the few animators who are considered to be the 2nd generation of Brony animators from 2017 to today. This was when I'm one of the many who shifted from the show style to a more original animation style for the fandom. In time many animators have become more experimental with their animations and put more focus on writing. Mostly these animators including myself will continue to push G4 MLP if Hasbro is truly gonna push that copyright restriction (which would most likely backfire), I'm still happy with what I'm doing. If you're interested in finding more brony animators then you should check out the stuff I'm making. :)
Great Job on the video btw. :)
Wow, EG! Nice to see you in the comment section here!
I'm glad to see that there are people in the fandom who are fighting to preserve the animation community. We've been starving for such content for a really long time and hopefully G5 will create a resurgence in that community.
@EG Studios It's good to know that some semblance of fan animation (and fan content, in general) is still going... even after Friendship is Magic ended. Also, you've pointed out what exactly went wrong with some animated projects made by the fandom (the ones that managed to see themselves to completion, at least).
It's also rare to hear someone openly say that they enjoy the time they've had so far within the fandom while being able to make fan content along with any original ideas they have. Anyone else would have been quick to pretend that they were never involved in any fanworks and act like it never happened once they'd get to do paid professional work.
Speaking of original ideas, all the best of luck on the 'Sparky the Hummingbird' series and any other future animated projects to come. Keep working at it and someday, you'll make something special.
As a former brony and was very active around that time, i agree. Many brony fan animators were way too ambitions and sure there are some series manage to released a pilot and episodes such as My Little Portal, many were cancelled including Fallout Equestria.
However, i do give them credit for finishing it. As for games, unfortunately were not so lucky, many didn't make it. I think LOE is the last active project that i know of.
I love your videos, really brings me back to when I was a kid. I TOTALLY forgot about Dusk’s Dawn!
Growing up on this content really inspired the kind of thing I make now, and seeing the pony related video I made last year get posted on Equestria Daily and LittleshyFiM made it feel like everything came full circle. Keep up the great work!
Glad you enjoy it!
The .MOV series was huge when it came out, nobody had seen anything pony-related like it. Was very well animated for the time.
Surprised by no Rainbow Dash Presents mention, the series parodied fanfic readings and still holds up with some very witty delivery.
Lulluby for a Princess is, in my opinion, one of the MOST beautiful animations on the whole of TH-cam. I'm not a brony anymore but every few years I go back to that video just because of how beautiful the song and animation is
The smile HD recreation LMAO
YES
With gen 5 coming out soon I'm starting to notice a second Renaissance of MLP content
Man this makes me so nostalgic
A lot of these animations traumatized me as a kid. Loved the ones that didn’t though 💖💖💖
I watched Smile HD as a young teenager and it still messed me up for a bit. I can't imagine how bad it would have been for a little kid. That being said, your recreation of it was hilarious.
MLP fan animations will always be amazing lmao
I remember some other iconic ones were Lullaby For a princess, Children of the Night, and The moon rises-
Just golden animations 😌👌
The worst part of going to SCAD is hearing Professor Zachary Rich say "Hi Everypony!"
I enjoyed all of them, even the dark and gory ones- The gory and comedic ones are pretty much the only ones I remember though and are most fond of since they stick in my mind the most.
Me in 2013 recreating Smile HD with my toys:
But seriously that part of the video sent me-
I love the more cute wholesome animation still and will still go back and watch them if they’re still on TH-cam. They’re just so good.
The reenactment of smile HD was the best part of the video for me
I'm surprised that you never mentioned the MLP fan animationz by Dawn Somewhere. They were really funny to watch as a kid, as they had their own plots and own lore.
ive been going back and rewatching a lot of these animations recently. they came out when i was a 6-10 year old kid who barely spoke english so it feels kinda weird now lol. very nostalgic
god i love these. not even past tense, i still go through and rewatch a lot of these.
i will not tolerate any double rain boom slander, their production quality is godly
the smile hd recreation gives 2012 LPS roleplay vibes
Anyone else remember my little portal? Those ones were good too!
Who knew monokuma was a brony.
I used to think Double Rainboom was a real episode....
same
This was peak middle school entertainment for me
I hate the fact that copyright is getting more and more stricter
You're basically telling people that you can't show your passion towards a show or film just because they're showing clips of it and you're allegedly robbing them of dollar signs
I feel it's the the brony community is in a similar situation with the abridge anime community
Not able to show their love for a shower product because the people who are controlling that product don't care about the individuals or the fans that want to keep on showing their support and creative and fun ways
But I have hope hope that we are going to have a silver age of pony related animations on TH-cam seriously I want to see extremely silly yet intriguing fan-made stories with a G5 cast
So go forth whoever reads this comment make the silver age of brony animations
And a bronze age.
Just the thumbnail ALONE gave me so many flashbacks to the mlp animations i used to watch, it feels so good
Why do all of these creators have to get in some big controversy like it's so easy to just not do that.
Crush
Kill
Destroy
*SWAG*
The Smile HD one traumatized me when I watched it for the first time, because of the bloodiness, but when I saw THIS video for the first time, I was like “Oh, my god, GET TO SMILE HD ALREADY”
A series I used to absolutely adore as a kid was Rainbow Dash Presents
I rewatched them recently and some of it did not age well (mostly the racist af My Little Dashie episode) but overall it was a fun time
I'm almost afraid to go back and check that out lol
@@azariah_kyras The My Little Dashie one is so cursed omg
There's a lot of racism towards black people in it, idk how it slipped over my head as a kid
@@azariah_kyras it holds up super well it's one of those the older you get the better the humor is
@@CandyPawz I dunno if it's racist
I've lived in poor neighborhoods before and there are a bunch of people I knew who talked like that Hispanic, black and even white people
@@jaffarblackfang4107 It didn't at all lol, it's white voice actors and creators making fun of "ghetto neighborhoods"
Even if it's not blatant or shocking, its still lowkey racist and uncomfortable to watch and didn't age well
Plenty of 00s-early10s humor was like this (Things like Shane Dawson's Shanaynay or whatever to be an example)
Edit: I too am poor and live in these kinds of neighborhoods lol, It still doesn't make it better lmao
I love how far your editing has come great vid btw
These my little pony animations were my first exposure to the internet, adding more salt to the wound. Sure, it traumatized me as a child and developed into me never sharing what I watch TH-cam thus having trust issues in the process, but I was truly amazed and ‘happy’ at the time. It introduced me to a community of fandoms, explored different types of videos on TH-cam, branching out to sonic and Mario videos somehow, evolving to fnaf and other mainstream stuff, and growing an amazing tree of interest in my current life. I wish I can go back in time and watch all of these all over again, I was truly a happy child.
Uuf, I remember watching almost all of these as a preteen and traumatizing my little cousins with cupcakes and friendship was magic
the amount of nostalgia from that thumbnail
Another animator I remember from the fandom was Mr Anonymous I think that was his name? His ponysona had a paper bag over his head but he did quite a handful of pony animations based on episodes of the show but sorta in a nutshell type jokes.
I used to watch them a lot on his DeviantART account back in the day same with this one pony animation group on there as well.
Might that have been Mr. Poniator? That was his MO, to the extent that fans marveled at how quickly he was able to generate parody animations following most new episodes.
Thank you so much for not showing Smile HD as... Smile HD. I cannot bear to watch that animation ever again lol.
the fandom would definitely not be complete without these videos
Ok so the first piece of MLP animation I ever saw was a Fluttershy Gmod animation set in the TF2 universe and for the longest time I thought Team Fortress 2 had actual My Little Pony characters in it and when I finally played the game I was so disappointed
I still can't believe that the Gilda animation was the thing that brought me into the fandom so many years ago, in a way I'm really glad to find it, also the Pony.mov series it's something i re-watch with my friends every once a year, and yeah the Brony Polka it's a tear dropping animation that came out fairly recently but using the James song
This vid was such a nostalgia trip and I'm glad to be there to witness almost everything in the golden ages of the fandom
HI. YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE. so i was introduced to korn at a young age and like 2-3 years ago i rediscovered them and i listened to the song "right now" and i thought "hmmmmm...ive heard this somewhere before." and i literally COULD NOTTTT find what video i heard that song from. When you showed the video "gilda wants to shut up" I accidentally screamed SOOOOO LOUD I WAS SO EXCITED SO THANK YOU SO SO SOOO MUCH
My MLP animation phase memories consist of slight ambient noises on top of Snowdrop scenes and the song "Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing on Rainbows."
I wish we could bring back this TH-cam.
Oh god, you know which one REALLY got to me as a kid? Want It Need It, the one with the doll and the freaky dubstep song. Something about the distorted vocals, the surreal animation, the whole thing just messed me up for a good while.
when "just yeah" was all shunks had to say about friendship is manly her dismissive words stabbed a thousand swords into my heart u_u Sure maybe the first one is just alright, but the sequel?? Immaculate
the smile HD bit has me dying, imagining walking through the park and just seeing some random woman loudly recreating some random MLP animation is really funny to me
Your Smile HD recreation was amazing.
something really funny should misterdavey is that he seems to genuinely like the show and on the derpibooru page for him you can see how he drew fanart and cutesy art for the ship rainbow dash x rarity so he put in that little bit in smile hd to show he REALLY didnt like the ship rarijack. Also rainbow dash x rarity never happened in the show, only apple dash and rarijack was in eqg so i can only imagine how he feels now
I miss horse fan animations
Your re-creation of Smile HD is a gift to the world (I love the word "murderfied" way too much and will now and forever be using it). RIP those manes and tails, hopefully you got all the pine needles out.
Dude MLP was like my entire childhood bro- OH, AND THE RAINBOW FACTORY.
