[@amihopes1235]

Even after 5 years I still thoroughly enjoy watching this every single time it's just great that Applejack got recognition together with such an interesting story concept and even better music.

[@candyandsketch6338]

When my favorite pony gets recognized.... I love it when this happens because people say that AJ is a "background" pony and I freakin HATE it

[@Kankan_Mahadi]

I can never forget this song - it's so haunting.

Kankan Mahadi u said it buddy

[@annavg7294]

It's a pleasant curse

[@Plusle843]

THANK YOU for pointing me to another great fanfic. *hugs Applejack* No matter how much I reread this type of stories, I always have someone cutting onions. What, I'm not crying, you're crying... *sits in a corner*

[@DavyEddyBenny]

AJ as a changeling? Even in Alternate Universe territory is pretty insane, it's crazy, it doesn't make sense.... HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FANFICS?!!! I need more feeli-ohs

[@loganwynn2337]

only someone who was completely hammered while watching 'Apple Family Reunion' could come up with such a story

[@ariawd600]

Not Just any changeling A royal changeling

[@Evilta]

wow... this looks like it has the potential to be the next Lullaby for a Princess if you work on it enough...

[@seirramoon388]

between this and the animatic "in the dark of the night" by ink pots we could make a full mlp Anastasia film with animatics alone XD

[@watcherm.helper4414]

We would be interested to watch that. This Concept in you video look great. We would love to hear more about it. WMH1, WMH2 & WMH3

[@greenqueen3124]

Seirra Moon yeessssss I LOVE THAT MOVIE I HAVE IT LIKE YESSSSSSS

[@abdj18943jda]

Seirra Moon YUP!!

[@RubyGalaxyYT]

A homage to the Irony of Applejack! I thought the sequence looked familiar! Thanks for spreading the word about a neat fimfic.

[@Photanic]

All these months later, and I still come back to this video. It's so beautiful and amazing... It's simply incredible. Whatever reservations you had about this, let me just say that you need to stop that. No one could ask for a better tribute than this, least of all me. Mister Friendly

[@mathewt7744]

Just wonderful. I mean with no dialogue and only animation and a musical number to set the scene. And there are so many questions risen and yet so many implications made. In summation, I would love to see more.

[@Serpentking789]

... WOW... Just wow... As someone who has read that story, this video and that music are an emotional punch to the gut. Seriously, I'm all teary-eyed and dry-in-the-throat and sniffly right now; and I'm not the type to cry easily.

[@cmm07r]

im with you. i havent read the story (but definitely going to now) but the song and visual was just so beautiful and overpowering...maybe even more than the original.

[@clearmelody6252]

Damnit, how have I never seen this animatic!? I *loved* this story, though I never did finish the sequel. I should try and get in there and read it, again.

[@imaginationiscool7719]

I’m having a blast from the past right now

[@lyarstrings]

Oh my gosh I remember watching this when it was just a few months out... it was such a big part of my childhood, it was the thing that inspired me to start a career in animation. Thank you so much for making this masterpiece of a video

[@Photanic]

Right in the feels, every time.

[@kevinbarber2795]

Still enjoying this.

[@kevinbarber2795]

Aww, thank you! I’ll never stop loving this show and the people who enjoy it with me!

[@BikerDash]

A beautiful tribute to one of my all-time favorites.

[@misone01]

When i first watched this video it made me shiver and choke up; watching it a second time now had me physically trembling. This animatic does an impeccable job capturing some of the spirit of that story.

[@cherryberrybeatz5606]

misone01 I agree ;3;

[@MandoMonge]

Really cool and heart wrenching. It deserves way more views

[@BikerDash]

One of my all-time favorite stories.

[@meadowrosepony9609]

Extremely well done. You captured the story perfectly in my opinion. Beautiful.

[@cherryberrybeatz5606]

Just read the irony of apple jack the hearts warming sequel AND the adventure of apple jack and I'm so glad I came across this video because it's amazing it took me about 2 weeks to finish the first and both the Sequels but I go there and it's so enchanting just watching this video again makes me want to read it all over again

[@Roulden]

The stories are definitely one of my favorite series, and I'm so glad you enjoyed the video.

[@xXGloomuraiXx]

@@Roulden hi its me on a newer account and even 3 years later this video is still such a fond memory from my childhood. Thank you.

[@jonathanstrock3562]

Pretty sweet. Just finished reading the fic today and found this in the comments. Excellent choice of song too.

[@borovac6259]

I do not know why but this video make me cry

[@Roulden]

Awww, I'm both sorry and glad.

[@borovac6259]

Roulden don't be sorry this video is buteful

[@alexandromoreno3562]

[@toshafromt3548]

I'm glad i got this in my recommended

[@Cott4g3C0re-Grung3]

Anastasia one of my favorite movies yay 😁

[@alexandriateutsch4333]

I disagree with some of the fan-fics ideas but this is still touching

[@user-wy8nz5qr5s]

От этой песни всегда мурашки по телу пробегают и текут слезы. Совсем недавно проходили Николая || и его Внешние/внутренние реформы. Да, как Император он был не ахти, а вот как семьянин)... Как писал он в своем дневнике: " Сегодня побегал с сыном по крыше и побросался с ним каштанами. Завтра Революция".) Эта беззаботность к политике возмутила, а трепетность к семье меня очень тронула. Очень жалко Николая, его жену и детишек(

[@ChaosCrash13]

А тех, кого он угробил, не жалко?

[@user-wy8nz5qr5s]

ChaosCrash13 мне его жаль как человека, а не как политика

[@dwb-g-2697]

I love it! love your animatic!! 💖

[@madzoroark5396]

no no no no. that song. it is the only one i cry to every. single. time. that's cheating, but you get my like anyways.

[@onekingdom1955]

Quite touching

[@powerbalance9668]

This explains so much.

[@DracoBlair]

Moving imagery, even if I do not know the fic. I would probably be shedding pride if I had

[@ScorpioHighlander]

Wow. Now that was nice slice of pure feels.

[@WhenTheyScreamed]

nostalgia❤

[@Modernwoman-cy6dc]

my lyrics for this : dancing unicorns, earth pony and pegisa things I almost remember and a song someone sings once apon a December. someone holds me safe and warm ponies walk 'cross a wooden floor figures walking gracefully across my memory. someone holds me safe and warm ponies walk 'cross a wooden floor figures walking gracefully across my memory far away long ago glowing dim as a spark of magic things my heart used to know things it yearns to remember and a song someone sang once apon a December

[@Roulden]

I like it. Though, I will admit that in my head I always changed the line in the song "Horses prance through a silver storm", to "Horse prance through an emerald storm" in representation of the changeling magic in the fic since they burst into green/emerald fire when changing forms and they use the green fire teleport circle spell for travel across long distances.

[@acicle3046]

Honesty, this would not fit the song. Some of the lines have too much words. Its too overbearing.

[@Roulden]

Unfortunately, this is all there will be. I am no where skilled enough to make a full animation. I just simply wanted to do an animatic in homage. I'm glad you enjoyed it, though.

[@yeasomof]
