My Little Pony fan animations: remember those?

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.

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.

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 KZbin, I don't miss him.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

[@graphitetailgrace3870]

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)

[@GenerallyChaotic6839]

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.

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.

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!

[@Jaded.Pencil]

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.

[@EG.Studios]

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. :)

[@Zodia195]

Wow, EG! Nice to see you in the comment section here!

[@vgmaster9]

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.

[@KevinKess]

@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.

[@LightBluly]

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.
