Lightning Bliss Reacts to Lullaby for a Princess

[@charemchavrutah]

It's worse than not seeing your sister for 1,000 years; she saw Luna, locked in the moon, every night for 1,000 years. Having that constant reminder of this battle would have made healing that much harder.

[@tararocksong5085]

@Rav Aharon ben Yisrael, and Celestia has the flowing hair from when she used the Elements to banish Luna. A constant reminder of what she’s done would be permanent on her,

[@1994ALLES]

after f-ing her sister like that ... she shouldnt need reminders , because if she forgets how she neglected her sister and let it come that far and how she banished her to the moon for a thousand years (dont even know how many endless years luna had to suffer before she snapped and nightmare moon took over) shes worse than every uper-villain i ever saw... aaand its kind of embarassing how she as the ruler over the sun even with the almighty cristals of friendship couldnt break nightmare moon away from luna when ... .... twillight and the others can do it without a thought how magic works or what the cristalls are for more than one day (ep. 2) ... ... sorry for the bad english / grammar , no offence , awesome video i love it ... doesnt mean i hate celestia i just hate what she did... sorry

[@flaminginferno6641]

Hasbro could only dream of this quality animation

[@FlameHeart3063]

FlameballTheUnicorn well played good sir, well played indeed!!

[@zeldaprincessgirl100]

I see what you did there, and they can do it like how they did the Mlp Movie, it just takes more time to animate xD.

[@Annemariedickinson]

Heck yea!

[@MrMarinus18]

Maybe they made the style of the FIM movie based on this. It looks a lot like it.

[@ianian348]

Imagine if selestia and Luna were this strong in the actual show they could have stopped so many villains

[@lightning-bliss]

I bawl like a baby XD

[@ccherry3340]

Da feels xD

[@ForestFormat]

Lightning Bliss what if I told you it was frame by frame

[@jakesanderson4465]

Look it doesn't matter as long as u like the animation ok

[@vectorbrony3473]

Lightning Bliss HUGS. I know the feeling

[@lost4666]

I cried. At this animation .o - o. So touching!!

[@QueenMeowTigeress]

Q.Q no matter how many time i watch this...it makes me watery eyes ... And this WAY better then the story they put on the show *sniff*

[@izabeth66418]

That was beautiful. I was crying when you were tearing up. That was deep and let's us see how much Luna's banishment hurt Celestia. Also I'm happy you did a react video on it. You described it ways I couldn't and made my first watch of it interesting. Great video Blissy. :)

[@austinshewman4484]

I've watched that video 10 times and I still cry😰

[@funwithmarah3887]

Yeah me too

[@water-lilysong506]

Please react to the Moon is Rising by Duo Cartoonist!

[@KrazyStargazer]

This is amazing right! I think it gives great context to Luna and Celestia's relationship

[@bloodmoonangel8925]

Is this song related in any way to the song written by Kevin Sherwood "Lullaby for a dead man"? Cuz i think it is

[@KrazyStargazer]

Asking Medal1677 Maybe?

[@Org13fan1]

That look on Celestia's face was brilliantly done. It really portrayed her thinking "what have I done" before falling into despair over banishing her sister. I like this version than the canon version, this one truly felt like self defense and she had only meant to defend herself.

[@indieepuff5050]

Blissy you are a very beautiful person and flipping adorable you also almost made me cry when you cried you freakin adorable Puppy

[@blusjams4352]

No matter how many times I watch this,the emotions just get to me and I start crying

[@glyon506]

Am I the only one who doesn't cry from watching this!

[@susansue3008]

+G Lyon I didn,t cry /=

[@zervontora2096]

I like to think when Celsestia reached out to use the elements against Luna, she really didn't know what would happen. She may have hoped it would only remove the nightmare, but instead it banished her sister. That makes the realization of what happened so much more painful for Celestia.

[@sillygooserose2955]

I like people like her who appreciate good art like this I almost cried too! keep being awesome! ♡

[@justincarawan-carawanco.pu1639]

Total agreement! I love this video for how soulful it is. The people behind this video truly knew what they were doing!!

[@DragonxFlutter]

I started tearing up at the same time as Blissy, and I’m like Applejack! It takes a _lot_ to get me outwardly tearful!

[@Sillybugg3]

It's called an animatic. :P This is such a lovely video though. I've been waiting so long and Warp really delivered

[@teric2]

Darn it, Lightning! I watch this months and months after it came out, and just watching your reactions make me cry like I saw this the first time.

[@snzing2943]

Anyone else notice SnowDrps cutie mark at 3:50?

[@sonicrainboom3984]

I saw it

[@Saintfan12]

I did, I like how they did that.

[@DaddyAstroTM]

i never noticed that before cool :P

[@Flakestar]

How2 Gay Yup, I saw that

[@twinarmageddons8045]

I love that you feel emotional for an emotional song that shows very much commitment for a lot of things

[@darkieanimations3640]

This artwork is AWESOME....I will never doubt my own work or someone else’s especially when it comes to animation

[@Calena]

How come I never watched your reaction on this before? Amazing reaction and lovely analysis, thanks for sharing!

[@autumbreeze1129]

That look on Celestia's face right after Luna's been banished, the realization of EXACTLY what she's just done... that's still so damn Strong

[@Eeveefan120]

So many people cry to the animation. I have heard the story so many times and the song the animation couldn't make me cry but those partial and light effects were amazing.

[@midnightmatric2995]

Any one who has seen the show and knows the story line has cried.

[@crystalandcrew4495]

I actually watched the original video before I became a fan of MLP

[@sander6438]

I did not cry

[@SunshineAstra22]

Lightning bliss you are too pure for this world! I love your reaction

[@rezredstripe7959]

This is literally my favourite animation from any fandom, first time I saw it (and quiet afew other times after) I cried. It's really well done and shows the emotion well. I love your reaction to it to. Wish I'd known you did a reaction vid sooner

[@Cr00kedCreation]

I like your reaction! However, it's animatic, not animatronic. There's a difference there, animatronic is something from FNAF, while animatic is a roughly drawn sketch of an animation :)

[@lightning-bliss]

Nightfuryshadows and Karmaticfrost Yes... I know I said "animatic" wrong. When I talk fast out of excitment I don't realize my mistakes till its too late XD I've been an animator for a few years now graduated in 2013 with a degree, so I'm not that clueless. I simply mispernounced. But thank you for correcting me anyway.

[@shondaboydston3376]

Nightfuryshadows and Karmaticfrost actually an animatronic is not just from fnaf. its from alot of things. lol sorry.

[@LemonadierP]

Animatronic is a robotic animal that you can program to do multiple things.

[@edenchyun5817]

Its really annoying when people think animatronics are from FNAF -_-

[@LemonadierP]

Ikr? XD

[@nalia2273]

something is clearly wrong with me. I never cried when I first saw this 0.0

[@baliyae]

No matter how many times I watch this, I still cry. I just feel so bad for Celestia. She had to carry that burden all those years.

[@Bownimations01]

I didn't do a commentary because was afraid of ruining the effect, but your commentary added to it ^^ You knew when to speak, when to be quiet, and the commentary itself was awestruck but not a ramble at the animation's beauty, which would have distracted from the beauty shown. At the end, you pointed out some things I noticed and some I didn't, and you brought all the views from an animator's point of view. You also brought attention to some things people skim over, such as the emotion the background has, not just the characters. Your commentary at the end not only makes this animation a better rewatch, because then you pay more attention, but is great advice for an amateur animator like myself, since you say what an animation is supposed to do, and how this one does it. Thank you Lightning Bliss for making this animation even more amazing, and for giving out advice that will help me with my animated series! Keep up the amazing work!

[@amyscottishpotatoqueen7932]

If you noticed when I goes to Luna's room you can see a picture of Snowdrop's cutiemark

[@Whatever-ef9bc]

This shows how much you love your sister, you made me cry :(

[@franksmedley8619]

hello Bliss. Every darned time I see this video it brings me tears. So I can 'feel' you feel the piece. Warp Out did an amazing job over 2 1/2 years to make this video. NO, it is not Hasbro style. It instead, harkens back to the old Disney style of frame by frame animation. The story line is well thought out and presented. Celestia, basking in the adoration of her subjects, and enjoying the attention, while they ignore her sister. As She sings in the song: 'Such is the way of the limelight, it takes sweetly takes over it's host'... a line that is presented during an animation of Luna coming under the spell of her darker nature and becoming Nightmare Moon. But in actuality, it's about the seductiveness of 'fame' and how it can cause you to ignore the important things in life, like family, friends, and one's responsibilities. Although 'Tia did try to 'patch things up' with Luna, she didn't devote the time and effort she really needed to to the problem and Luna grew more and more despondent and felt ever-increasingly more and more cut off from the ponies of her world and her sister. The 'fight scene' was done very well, and at it's end, we can see 'Tia realize just what she's done to 'save' herself and her little ponies. Because a never-ending night would make them all blind, and kill all the plant life in the world that they need to survive. In Her desperation, she used the Elements of Harmony in a manner they should not be used for. When the two sisters found them, the elements 'bonded' with the princesses. Allowing them to use them in tandem to awaken their power and restore balance to their world when it was disturbed by various enemies of Equestria. But, this time, she used them to defeat her Sister, the only other 'bearer' of the Elements. This is what caused her hair to change (and Luna's too, in retrospect). 'Marking' them from such an abuse of the power of the Elements, and closing off their connection to them. Celestia would spend over 1,000 years looking for new bearers for the Elements, to restore true balance to the world. Meanwhile, she had to raise both sun and moon during her Sister's absence, although She could not ever fathom nor use Luna's 'dream walker' powers over the minds of Her subjects. Yes the bedroom scene where 'Tia 'tucks in' her sister every morning was an addition by Warp Out, but did you see the final scene? The empty bed, and through the window, Celestia singing to her Sister. There were other changes too... The Elements, during the 'fight scene'. The Element of Magic was changed to better reflect it's shape to identify it to the viewer, since after the change it more resembled the one seen in S1 E1 of MLP. Another change was in Luna's chambers during the argument scenes. Twice, to the left of the double doors where 'Tia was, we get to see a scroll hanging on the wall, depicting a flower. But not just any flower. No, the flower was the Snow Drop. The Cutie Mark of Luna's only true friend. As Luna says in SFS's video, about Snowdrop, '... the only one who ever truly knew my Night'. So it is not all that odd that Luna would 'honor' her memory (Snowdrop was a filly during the 100th Spring Sun-rising Celebration in early Equestria, and probably only lived, at most 100 years) by keeping a depiction of her Cutie Mark as a reminder of her friendship with the foal that created the first Snow Flake. In S1 E1 of MLP, we see Luna returned as a filly, but over the course of several seasons to her full growth, even though it never reached Celestia's size. So, we can infer that she was physically in stasis on the moon, and perhaps experienced time slowed significantly. When Luna returned, she would be subject to rapid growth and development of her body to match her true age. I know, I know... a very long posting. But one I felt needed to be written out for others to read. To give them context and interpretation of events in the video. In no way does any of the above detract from Warp Out's stunning video, or 2 1/2 years of effort put into the work. Instead, I feel it adds to Warp Out's work in allowing others to understand events and how they were portrayed better. the Frank Pony

[@lavenderhearts8559]

I fell in luv with it. I'm pretty good at drawing but...I hav 2 say...warp out did AMAAAZING. I luv ur Character 2. it's adorable.

[@lavenderhearts8559]

I've been drawing 4 8 yrs 2. nd I wasn't trying 2 brag. so pls dnt b rude.

[@lavenderhearts8559]

if u want proof check facebook.

[@aquaroo1194]

You had every reason to tear up that song was beautiful

[@thlaggyping81]

You know this is one of those songs where you cry at first but you have to listen/watch this piece over and over to truly understand the animation, unless you are a really good animator like you Lightning Bliss

[@LemonadierP]

Great review! Definitely an emotional animation aswell as song. When you were talking about the piece of hair that wasn`t moving, I think that was on purpose since you wouldn`t expect to animate something like that. But, anyway that`s just my thought on that part of the review and animation. :)

[@lightning-bliss]

Pixel Heart Art Like I said they are nitpicks. But if I can see that then other animators will as well. One must remember that when hair or body moves, everything moves with it, otherwise it looks stale and unrealistic. These are critics, and I'm sure others appreciate that I say them, constrcutive critizism to improve our work I always love ^^

[@LemonadierP]

Ok! ^-^ I was just mentioning it since I really liked how it didn`t move with the rest of the hair. Like it was the odd bit of hair out, you know? XP

[@jakesanderson4465]

Just shut up will you

[@LemonadierP]

What was that for? I wasn`t trying to be mean, I just simply commented my opinion.

[@TheLittleMerman1998]

I love my little pony and I can't be Believe I found this today but this crushed my heart 😥♥️ all Luna wanted to get the same amount of respect and love her sister had but could never get it and I know that celestia never meant to hog all the attention and most importantly never ever wanted to banish her sister you could just see it in her face but she had no other choice she had to do what was right for the ponys and the land of equestria And not follow her emotions but follow her duty to the land it's just so sad 😞

[@ModernWhoFan5B]

The thing that gets me every time I watch this is Celestia's eyes, right after she banishes Luna. Just the rapid movement, kind of twitching; you can really tell that she doesn't believe what she's just done- that it's still processing- right before she breaks.

[@irahays3869]

I just saw this animation about a month ago. I hadn't heard Ponyphonic's opus, nor had I seen the animatics. Taken all at once, this 7 minutes off excellence hits like a ton of bricks.

[@angelofdarkness4791]

I cried when I first heard it and I agree with you 100% plus it was worth the wait

[@kirin1230]

Seeing you cry made me cry

[@gachaoofie5633]

when i watch it i cry in the inside but im actually really sensitive and my tears are almost coming out if you wanna make me cry, give me some more sad things if i cry, good job you make me in to a wild werewolf

[@LightYagamiIsNuts]

This is such a beautiful animation and an amazing song!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ five stars!!!

[@watcherm.helper4414]

Every time we watch this song, we get all teary eyed & chills down our spine. WMH2, WMH4, WMH12, & WMH14.

[@dgood5707]

Still beautiful to this day. Great job Warpout

[@neorenamon]

I hope that Lullaby for a Princess: Luna's Reply will be just as epic. PS: I like to watch "Princess Celestia gets deep" next to help lift my spirits after something as deep as this.

[@alex_creepypastafan]

* sings along with lullaby for a princess and sings really really good *

[@Fizzy2014]

When she said Animatronic I just thought animatic and FNaF XD

[@rianakaria3295]

when in Lunas room you can also see next to her that she has torn torn down the tapestry of Celestia cutie mark, but also left another tapestry with her best friends (snowdrop's) cutie mark on the wall to the right of Celestia in the door. what a nice touch

[@ngljustwannavibe]

I just realized that when they did filly Luna she only had wings! That’s a cool detail considering them saying they’ve never seen a nature born alicorn when they saw Flurry Heart. I love that idea!

[@shelbymartinez4901]

it's animation is amazing and i cryed so much when luna and celestia fought to me this is a great almost perfect animation.btw love your hair and your voice is very nice sorry if i missed spelled everything : )

[@chloeturnbull6238]

i cryed the first time to. so beautiful

[@AJponyAPschannel]

You go, girl! Three years, power to ya!

[@fenekafox1843]

*Hugs blissy* don't worry everythings gonna be alright just let all the sadness trail out.

[@hailleejordan7815]

Ok i love this video too. I cried for days, yeah another reason my mom put me in therapy, where was i right I play this song for my little sister (only 6 months old) and let me tell you she is young but already a peguas sister. For nothing else makes her quiet down then this video. So i love this video. And now my parents realized my brilliance and just plays this song on the hour loop for her bed time

[@Sergeant1127]

I am Not an emotional person most people would describe me as stoic. But this animation... This damn animation gets me every time. Every. Single. Time. Lik for u cri evr tim. :p

[@shieldgenerator7]

1:04 A lot of patience for sure. Flash is not the most user-friendly software out there, and constantly fights the animator. It takes a lot of patience to fight Flash into doing what you want

[@SaphireKnight87]

I'm right there with ya sistah! *hugs and starts balling out loud*

[@GirlyChanger3098]

The animation it so gorgeous OMG

[@unsounded9905]

So many people reacted to this and i love watching the different reactions. Must have watched 5 or 6 now.

[@sadiebrown6500]

Same here

[@enragedtomato31]

+Sadie Brown i've watched like 15 by this point

[@DanishFay]

I loved this react of yours :-D And if you want a video, that makes you bawl, you should try and watch a PMV called 'Applejack, they miss you too'. That made be bawl my eyes out!

[@victoria6137]

I cried well watching it the first, second and every other time.

[@lisastephens8801]

the first time i saw this i was like "this....is mlp...in...real....life" i cried to....xD

[@neftalirojas2601]

you really loved it didnt ya´ lightning?

[@LuckyStar1Fan]

This video hits me in the feels each time too :')

[@elizabethpope819]

my first time watching this and i..............LOVE IT!!!!!!!♥♥♥♥♥

[@moonlightjasmineeclipse7646]

it's okay I. cried too the first time and many other times I still cried

[@pinkiespot2208]

this is totally beautiful.

[@Foxgearstudios]

Now that's what I call setting the bar high.

[@MrMarinus18]

The action is just so good. Having the key frames so that they can be seen. Celestia tucking in her wings when she does a cartwheel to increase the speed of rotation. Her extremely stressed expression when she's almost vaporized and also squash and stretch as she moves. In that clash you can just feel their emotion. NMM having so much pent up rage that she's unleashing and Celestia being in so much pain yet doing what she needs to. I actually think this is superior to the show version. They just feel so much more powerful and the action so much more scary and tight. Action was always the show's biggest weakness. Few of them really took advantage of the powers and anatomy of the ponies.

[@autumbreeze1129]

Did you notice that the Element of Magic actually got chipped twice when it clattered to the floor? I literally didn't notice it myself til watching this reaction, but it did. Looking closely you can see two tiny pieces of the Element of Magic come off it as it clatters.

[@TheSecondOpinion11]

Well, gotta respect a project that can move people like that.

[@nightfox1616]

I do love the work put into it

[@nightmarepokemon1143]

Love your videos Bliss can you react to the princess trixie sparkle series plea? It's really good and it's complete

[@geoserenity]

every time i see it i see something new thar was awesome like the sparks from celestia's horn when she uses magic

[@otakumike2006]

Lightning Bliss. I cried right along with you.

[@hellsironicangelpuppy]

you made me cry XD love ya blissy

[@panhead537]

I've never cried once 4 all the times I've watched this if U can believe that.

[@maddymiller4146]

i am practically whimpering now

[@PonyWatchReactions]

Oh look! It's a Lightning Bliss! LOVED your reaction to this! Keep it up! PS, it's Animatic, not animatronic. Dunno if you purposefully said it like that, but just had to say something. -David

[@shadowbridger7331]

Oh sweet celestia, you were actually crying.

[@fixspar6614]

Right in the feels. Also I have my second channel it's me the a button. Now blood wing.

[@lavenderhearts8559]

Dnt worry lightning. I cried wen I 1st saw that animation.

[@soonergirl997]

Lightning bliss:I’m tearing up :( Me:so is celestia :(

[@k.o.t.o.r.5119]

Some tears, and only pride.

[@Hiro-nc9qy]

I get goosebumps every time I watch it also who watching in 2017

[@RedDragonForce2]

Kinda wished there was one more verse, from Luna... after the Mane Six returned her to normal and she and Tia patched things up, all concluding into a duet that reminds us that the bonds of siblings are a great on indeed. Oh well, maybe another time.

[@marionette8739]

+Lightning Bliss Not many things get me to cry. I read, listen and watch grimdark because I enjoy it. I'm a really messed up person, on a psychological perspective. THIS, however, really strikes a cord. There is VERY little that gets me to cry. Thank you for reacting to this. Thank you. Also, from an OC perspective, what's your opinion on Changeling Hybrids?

[@bettytejeda6552]

And this song is the only way for me to fall asleep

[@thepurplemermaid7014]

I love this song so much

[@cyan_ghost1727]

no offenece but its pronounced animatic amazing reaction anyways

[@jennagamer418]

awwww don't cry I feel bad I cryd too i just feel I wanna hug you

[@MrMarinus18]

I actually vastly prefer the fan interpretation of NMM happening so much earlier. When Celestia and Luna were still really young. That this changed their lives forever. In the official version they look and feel like fully formed adults and so the banning is more a duty than a real personal sacrifice.

[@alienspacekitten6187]

Hey i know how celestia feels my big brother past away in 2013 and it was almost christmas and i miss him so much!!! ); (crys a little bit)

[@B4TS1E]

Can u do one of these for Luna's response

[@RainbowGale]

I just want to add to this. I can personally say that using flash takes a hell of a lot more patience than I had. It was just too much. I gave up on it. It was too difficult and I just did not have the patience for it.

[@vanesaespinoza4688]

I crying this video it so sad and I love this song so much
