-Description-
Finally it is here!
My magnus Opus as it were, in production for over 2,5 years
With the help of Simbaro and Cmaggot on backgrounds
we are proud to present the animation of the song by Ponyphonic
"Lullaby for a Princess".

This animation is based on the background story of Celestia and Luna
as told in the mlp:FiM S1E1 opening. This Project started before the flashback scene in S4E1 where the same story is told.

we tried to stay close to our vision but changed a few items to make our animation fit the cannon more. example: first the crown would fall instead of the ellement of magic.
but we decided to keep the mane pink.

I owe you all some form of update. You all brought me so much kindness. Its only fair I let you on what has been going on with me after lullaby.
I got fired. Got a new job. found love. Bought a home. Married and got a beautifull daughter. She is 3 now. ( Time really flies.).
I look back at this project with much love. I have tried to start new projects. But the time I have to invest has been very little. I still draw from time to time, to keep my skill up. Perhaps when I find more time I can animate again. But for now my time goes to family, friends and job. Thank you for understanding. I hope the last years have been kind.
Greetings WarpOut

Celestia's mane changing after she used the elements still hits me right in the gut

[kivi_]

The fact that NO ONE is talking about the fighting scene is a crime. That animation is good as hell.

[JHaller_]

Years later, it's still the best video our fandom has.

[jajajajaja-eywb]

The fact that everyone praised her for banishing nightmare moon while she sits there in complete agony knowing what she did to her sister is heart wrenching, anyways, love this animation, still watching it 8 years later😭

[Neonnotecards]

The idea that Celestia gets her rainbow mane as a sort of magical scar from using the elements is my absolute favorite headcanon. Celestia being unable to escape the reminder of what she's done every time she looks in a mirror is so tragic and I absolutely love it.

"And forgive me for being so blind"

That hit me hard

[arison.]

"Luna, you're loved so much more than you know"

Hits hard😭

This person casually dropped one of the hardest MLP fan animations and then disappeared

[MinisDunyasi]

What I love about this masterpiece is that it doesn’t show any sister as “evil”. Because when you think about it neither of them are evil, they’re just ponies who have made mistakes.

[sixeswild]

The idea that using the Elements of Harmony in this way amounted to such a shock of magical and emotional trauma that it tints her mane, in the same way that a serious event can give a person a grey streak, is such a hard hitting notion. I would imagine that generations later, the ponies of the day would probably compliment her on her beautiful pastel rainbow mane, without realizing that Celestia would have probably felt a twinge of guilt and regret and sadness that she would have to smile through, each time.

Okay but this interpretation of the fight between celestia and luna is 50x better than the one we got in the show

[Lady._.vi]

The way celestial cries after using the elements of harmony ALWAYS GETS ME CRYING

[ThistleBristleBerry]

I absolutely love the idea of her hair being like that because she used the elements!!!

[meaghanking]

“And that foolish pony did nothing to stop the destruction of the one who needed her most” that hit deep

[trick]

Celestia’s hair changing after she uses the elements is such a good detail. This animation, the singing, the music, everything about this is beautiful and wonderful to me. It helped me for years.

My sister passed away in October and today was her birthday. This is the first thing I listened to when I woke up today. I miss you sis, sleep baby sister

[ilovedrawing]

Coming back to this I never realized how dark and depressing Celestia’s past was spending thousands of years alone because she messed up and never realized how her little sister felt, Seems like MLP is not always sunshine and

[chees]

Celestia is the true definition of “with great power comes great responsibility” she got so absorbed in being a ruler she forgot to be a sister

[sociallyineptking]

proud to say that i’m 18 years old and coming back to appreciate this 😭😭
