My Little Pony "This is Halloween" Animatic

[@Bobby90]

This makes me imagine Discord hijacking Nightmare Night from Luna, terrorizing Ponyville in the guise of Nightmare Moon, only to piss off Luna so that she relapses and terrorized him. Or so it would seem.

[@Nopeonotme]

Yo i know im four year too damn late but i was just going through some nostalgia. That would be funny as hell to see her go int oa pyschotic break down and try to murder discord

[@silentsky6175]

I would vote for princess Luna as Jack... As the whole nightmare night celebration is based around her and nightmare moon but otherwise I LOVE IT

[@trscf]

+Dj Luna Dash I have nightmare moon set as the villain for this! I thought that would be fun to play with. Otherwise, yes! I agree with you! Luna would be a perfect candidate for Pumpkin Princess.

[@triscafe]

+Lilly Cafe (Sorry! Replied on my side account. )

[@silentsky6175]

Tris Cafe lol its ok I do it all the time. Your welcome for the feedback

[@Fiora350]

+Tris Cafe Or Discord would work great too XD

[@trscf]

He sure would! There are so many amazing villains in mlp!

[@cocopots]

I love twilight as the pumpkin queen, its such a cool concept.

[@thatautisticbrony7847]

I love what you did with derpy and the doctor, as well as hat appears to be making twilight jack, although that means we'd we'd have to ship her with another pony, or a creature if you're feeling exotic

[@Khyrberos]

The song is great, the character choice is interesting, the combination is supremely enjoyable. I particularly love your style; even in an unfinished/sketchified animatic form it's really compelling! Great facial expressions & horse-ness. I remember watching it and thinking "man, who could Jack be in this; we've already seen Discord, and Luna, and most other characters...". Still actually caught me by surprise. Nice reveal. Subscribing for more!

[@triscafe]

Khyrberos Thank you so so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed!

[@fruiitbatz6437]

[@rosaperegrine4556]

SAME

[@beedubzero8248]

Ship it like there's no tomorrow!

[@crystalgemgirl731]

Me too. They're adorable.^^

[@mackenziebystrom2447]

Why did I laugh so much when Celestia was singing in that voice XD Cool animation :)

[@sophiecarlberg]

Awesome!!! Luna should've been Jack though.

[@tttriangularity]

It's really awesome. Especially that eyes looking realistic and beautifull!

[@BlueAnon]

Its crazy how all these amazing animatics never get finished.

[@jardex2275]

Pretty good! One thing I would add is adding a flaming Twilight at the end, just like how Jack changes form.

[@emilydehaan8455]

Zecora looks so mysterious! I love it!

[@mimsr2788]

Beautiful work! I love the one floating up to the moon 2:41 - 3:10

[@annmaryjane4569]

So much Depry and Doctor there ! Love it!

[@georgeorwellwarnedus6099]

This has to be fully animated. It's amazing.

[@2doot]

Thanks for this! Nightmare before Christmas has always been my favorite movie, and you did a beautiful job with this! I wish I was as talented as you!

[@cassiknova]

Oh my god. This is so amazing!! The Nightmare Before Christmas is my favourite movie EVER.

[@checotxxxxxx]

This is just... To great its amazing I am in awe and its just an animatic my life will now never be complete if i dont get to see a full version of this fantástic work

[@GRAF1T3R0]

Wow...what a nice work.

[@thehungergames51]

Love it, has a lot of potential for an animation.

[@rantuoftheshadows]

I am still waiting and hoping to see this fully animated someday

[@ElementofKindness]

OMFG! How have I not seen this masterpiece sooner?!?!?! Mixing my two favorite things for a most epic animatic!

[@Aerith17]

The worst part about this was that it ended. Very well done!

[@Be1lover]

Funny; I imagined something like a fan fiction with a human saying “FYI, my little ponies, you call it NIGHTMARE NIGHT here, but where I come from, THIS IS HALLOWEEN” then cue the song here! Of course, it all got arranged for a solo and Rarity goes "Oh" like in "Bridal Gossip" over the "spiders in my hair" part.

[@MorganaShea]

It's so GOOD! Omigosh, you have to finish this!

[@redjulius33]

Absolutely loved this animatic! I can't believe I haven't come across it before!

[@greyseerfrikerf8310]

because the movie is one of my favorite movies ever, you have another sub.

[@dand7844]

Man, that was really good! Can't wait to see the completed thing. :)

[@moustacheb3386]

Cant wait for this to be completed! its soooo awsome!

[@linnetgee8857]

This will be 20% cooler if this is fully animation. This is awesome!

[@RYMAN1321]

Great job! And I can't believe that the song and film is 25 years old this year!

[@ProMonarchyGenius]

PURE AWESOMENESS!!! I hope it gets animated :D

[@vectorbrony3473]

all I can say is wow! This was awesome! Would love to see this animated.

[@clutchedbyanangel]

Excellent character choices!

[@triscafe]

Thank you very much!

[@Dark_Tale_2077]

Wow, that's awesome, can't wait to see the finished version!

[@BreezieBee]

Love this song, love these ponies... the love has been doubled!

[@sarahgonzales6809]

I wish someone would make full animation of this

[@cstart100]

This is amazing!!!!! I can't wait to see if you or anyone else animates it!

[@arleenrivera2574]

I love this so much i I wish hasbro could see this and put it on an episode of mlp

[@sweetstudio2296]

would love to see a finished version

[@SuperSpawn77]

same

[@lord__pasta]

this was actually really good. i think the only thing to make it better is color but it is amazing!

[@cosmobro2128]

well, animated or not, it's freaking fantastic! xD you got your self a fan xD

[@Ashezth]

Man I want to see this fully animated. Holy shit. FULL SUPPORT GO!

[@dakotawarriorcatsluvr3997]

Awwwwww derpy with drhooves was soooo cute! ^_^

[@dakotawarriorcatsluvr3997]

***** haha sorry XD

[@SuzakuHayasora]

I loved it! I think this is a great idea!! lots of good parts!!! Thanks for making this!

[@purejshots1]

I love the eyes, they bring in so much emotion!

[@triscafe]

Thanks so much! :)

[@purejshots1]

Tris Cafe No problem :) do you plan to fully animate this later? I bet it'd look fantastic!

[@triscafe]

I'm afraid not! I have left it open to whoever wishes to animate it, and I think I have someone who'd like to. :)

[@purejshots1]

Tris Cafe Aww, YAAAAAY! :D

[@nintendokid94]

this animatics actually gave me the chills

[@every_1ne]

Diamond tiara and silver spoon are so cute in this vid! Don't question me

[@pommelstudios8767]

I dont know why everyone dont like this. I think this looks awesome !

[@toastyghostss]

I loved it, but i'd imagine Discord being the Pumpkin King (jack skellington) for some reason...Otherwise amazing!

[@rickroll9965]

Bibble Is The Name I imagine Luna myself

[@rottengrapes8605]

I thought discord too

[@lanafoletta9097]

Probally because he's slender, smooth-talking, the capability to take of his head (I'm not sure if it happened in the show, but.. well. He's Discord), and also lovably deranged.

[@alistairmcdiarmid2894]

Lana Foletta he did it in S7 episode 1

[@Hey_yeah]

I thought of discord too

[@shadowldrago]

This is really effing good. Kudos.

[@SpacePlant-nb8gm]

I find this a strangely appropriate way to sum up the magical mystery cure in an anemic.

[@east8369]

actually, this encourages me to finally get into more animation, because i have a similar idea to this!

[@kirinfire9960]

glad to return to this again this year

[@icesswolvescats404]

so cool your animation , the animation complete or full map with colors like a normal animation ^^

[@rhayna9987]

uploaded on my birthday! perfect :D

[@triscafe]

happy around your half birthday! (im the WORST at responding to comments im so sorry i hope your birthday was an awesome one!)

[@musicishere101]

I honestly think this is perfect. And the witch role for diamond tiria (sorry I have bad grammar) and sliver spoon R great!

[@triscafe]

Thank you very much!

[@musicishere101]

Tris Cafe NP (no problem if u don't know)

[@cuttledreams]

I actually really like this animatic; the feel is great, and so are the ideas within it (Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara being witches, for example). Unfortunately, there are some flaws holding it back. The biggest problem is the lack of visual energy. There isn't much movement (especially quick movement), and there are several instances where there is no movement at all (0:20 and 2:40, for example). Something that could help spice it up is more interactions and transitions, similar to 1:00 with Luna or 1:22 with SS and DT. The use of more natural transitions would help guide the viewer through the video, immersing them, and would add energy (for example, when the clones are singing, maybe have them running through the town; as their part ends one of them runs in front of the camera, and when she passes Derpy and Doctor Whooves are standing there). Changing the camera angles more would add energy as well (for example, rotating it at 1:09, or at 1:15 have the perspective change to just behind the trashcan facing the three fillies). In no way am I saying that this is a bad animatic. In fact, I'd say just the opposite. It has many great moments (0:28, 0:56, 1:37-1:51, 2:05, and so on). It was fun to watch, and if I had the ability to animate it I would (and maybe will in the future). Anyway, sorry for the wall-of-text critique! ^-^; I will definitively be watching it again in the future.

[@obitosenju3768]

I agree

[@ComfySocksBoi]

That is really well made! Bravo!

[@daaaniigr]

its awesome!!! i have watched that film like 30 times!! and go catch it very well!!!! i sooo glad i have seen it!! please make more

[@rodentperson237]

Oh my gosh, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are perfect for the roll of the witches

[@triscafe]

haha, thank you! it was my favorite part to do!

[@mauriciogomez3869]

I think my favorite part is with docter and derpy when she says "I'm the cloun with the tear away face

[@kayleekick4039]

1:32 That face is SO adorable for pinkamena! :3

[@brentramsten249]

this is my second sub from the top 10. and im kinda stingy. keep up the good work.

[@emmawiley2452]

I love how evil you made everypony, but I have one question: who is the pony at 0:17 ? I love how you made the eyes glow!

[@casey963]

Almost kind of looks like Lyra maybe?

[@emmawiley2452]

could be, but she has amber eyes, and she appears with Bonbon at 0:33 , * looks* yep, it's Lyra, they look exactly the same!

[@getsome505]

Even if this is a copyrighted song... I LOVE MY LITTLE PONY :) so good job

[@jamiemccallion9825]

That was flipping amazing!

[@unhumano2634]

cute ponies+ creepy stuff=perfect!

[@exp1red_meatl0af80]

You've got pro skillz😱😬

[@timedraven117]

I'm now officially writing a fanfic with this in mind. Thank you very much. ;)

[@triscafe]

I'm glad you were inspired!

[@timedraven117]

What sucks is I'm doing already two other projects in writing so it probably won't be out for a while -.-

[@jaydenheminez1718]

I was expecting Nightmare Moon to be Jack anyway, so awesome! *squee*

[@javim0cha652]

Hi! Just a curiosity, who would you cast as Sally in this? If you ask me, I would pick Fluttershy for the roll. I would say this because at some points in the film, she uses more logic and trusts her instincts that Jack shouldn't bring Christmas to Halloween town. Fluttershy shares those same traits because when Fluttershy tries to say something (in the show) for everypony to hear, nopony listens until last minute. Just like how Sally tries to tell everyone the idea of Christmas is a bad idea. If you like my idea, let me know! (;

[@triscafe]

oh my gosh! fluttershy is the one I would pick! for awhile I was actually planning on doing Sally's song with her! i might still after I finish this next animatic!!!

[@javim0cha652]

Tris Cafe​ Sounds awesome! And thank you for taking my suggestion! I actually feel kinda honored 😊 I really look forward to seeing your next project (;

[@triscafe]

+Purple Galaxy I already had flutters planned!! :D

[@javim0cha652]

+Tris Cafe Cool! Keep up the great work! :D

[@rebeccamyers2610]

Tris Cafe alaq]pique pqqq+1

[@dreamsparkle42]

please please make this an animation this is too good to not be flushed out

[@SuperSpawn77]

can't wait till this is finished!

[@derphoof3865]

Omg omg omg omg omg this is amazing please if the animation is on that art level it will be glorious the characters all fit were you put them in the song it was just amazing I beg you please do this please this is the first animation iv seen in awhile that I want to happen.

[@triscafe]

Derp Hoof Maybe someday! I'm still quite an animation amateur and I have a ton to learn! I certainly will come back to these projects and finish at least one!

[@derphoof3865]

Defiantly this one hehe ^.^ but yea I really do love it to be honest I wanted to animate this by I know there's no why I could live up to this amazing style so I went and asked ink Potts to animate hers she said yes so that's what I'm doing now. Oh and I love your profile picture ^.^

[@carrielash4137]

I really sure like the whole under the bed part of it😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@TamamaCandyLover]

And subscribed! I'm in love with this.

[@RevengeRaptorREAL]

OMG DERPYYYYYYYYY I WILL HUG UUUUUU!!!!!!

[@superstar-gn2lt]

I love the part when pinkie turns to pinka i was omg .-.

[@wixkedkitty1975]

You know what MLP story would go great with this? Story of the Blanks!

[@nintendokid94]

...okay....it kinda gave me Goosebumps

[@Odd_Cinderella]

YAS! Now if we could get "Kidnap the Sandy Claws" with Cutie Mark Crusaders...

[@hybriddimension2442]

Darn it! Someone beat me to this! Anyway this is still good!

[@RafaelBeatsub1]

I hope the release in this Halloween (or Nightmare Night for the herd)

[@kylesmith196]

This is amazing! Bravo to this team.

[@triscafe]

It's not a team. cx It's only me! Thank you so much for the comment!

[@shadowflame2322]

I wonder how this would look if this was done 100% It would be bad ass as hell

[@Rachu2023]

i love this so much. its awesome

[@glitchscriptedcode379]

Can't wait to see the animation

[@RaniCandies]

What's the name of the program that you used to make this animatic?

[@triscafe]

Mr Rarity Pie I used Paint Tool SAI for the art, and I used MS Paint for editing. (I do NOT recommend using MS Paint if you have better options. cx )

[@alexthompson9682]

I really like this video and the idea behind it, but it would be really good if you had the ponies look more deathly like stiches and other injuries. Also the main six could have things like fluttershy being followed around by stitched together animals and pinkiepie would have a stiches up smile on her face, but this a nice if not completed animation

[@FreeAssange_hypeurope]

still awesome work u did here.

[@MichaelaAquilina]

Cast (according to this video): Twilight Sparkle - Jack Skellington Trixie - Man under the bed Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon - Big and Small Witches Celestia - Mayor of Halloween Town Luna - Shadow of the moonlit night/Oogie Boogie Pinkie Clones - Bat kid and Corpse kid Dr. Whooves - Corpse dad Derpy - Corpse mom

[@casualoddity5656]

Please make a full animation!!!!!!

[@NayiaLovecat]

Nice work and idea :3

[@douglasmurphy1113]

Personally. I think Discord should've been Jack, he's more twisted and acts more like jack

[@Matt.Attack8]

I just love how it starts with :boys and girls of every age would u like to see something strange?

[@def1319]

I want to see full version of thise, i'd like it

[@cutlerhanks926]

a man if you're a fan of webcake get her to sing the song with her voice talents she can make this really cool.

[@gunterxvoices4101]

If you ever want to pick this back up, you could probably get voice actors from the fandom (and me) to sing the song for it:)

[@hannahkettunen8017]

Nice 👍
