My Little Pony fan animations: remember those?

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.

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.

Don't forget "Bride of Discord", "Daughter of Discord", "Elements of Insanity", and "Remembrance" Those were a really big part of my childhood !!

"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.

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 😍😍)

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

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

"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.

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!

No matter how many of these you remembered, you MUST remember the most important message of them all. Stay. Out. Of. Her. Shed.

The theory that MisterDavey was a ex-animator for MLP is still funny to me.

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

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

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?

"Don't mine at night" is just gold, I reaaaaaaaally loved it as a kid.

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

Hey Skunks, did you know when Youtube 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 Youtube decided to do this after that lawsuit they had lol.

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

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
