Hey! This is really well done! I could see this being a real cartoon.
I'm so glad they are ponies though. I don't think I'd ever be able to watch it if they weren't.
You can find the flash at the newgrounds post here!

ReplyDeleteo_Ô ?!
ReplyDeleteLOLWUT??
ReplyDeleteAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
ReplyDeleteTHAT MONSTROSITY!
ReplyDeleteinb4 total whining about humanized ponies
ReplyDeleteahahaha, i loved it when applejack just kicks the tree
ReplyDelete@BagOfChips
ReplyDeleteLmao, IKR?
But, it isn't that bad, for all those haters out there will see something aside from ponies.
It may change their views on the show.
The animation could definitely stand to be better.
ReplyDeleteAnd the art style
If it made people here angry, THAN I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteHaha, nice effort, the animation is decent but the character style isn't my cup of tea, not to mention Spike using a duck to deliver the message is just weak.
ReplyDelete@JimmaLe
ReplyDeleteI don't think people will watch the show because they see a trailer with hoomans
@supervanman64
But they're creepy as hell.
It was well done but creepy.
Its not all that bad, yet the art style and animation could of been better and it was slightly creepy as well.
ReplyDeleteThat made me hurt....
ReplyDeleteexcept madame foster
she's awesome.
e_o I dont know what to feel about this. Great job though!
ReplyDelete@BagOfChips
ReplyDeleteOkay, so humanized ponies = creepy
but what are your views on ponified humans?
To me, MLP art is MLP art. Human, anthro, or pony.
Wow, I just realized that I would not like FiM if it was about humans and not ponies....
ReplyDelete@Dave Mustang, the cynical Brony You mean "then" Sugarcube.
ReplyDeleteWell done but...there was something very off about it. Cool references to Foster's and Powerpuff Girls though.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't bad, but I found the design of the characters to be...well, creepy.
ReplyDeleteI did like the cameos by the Powerpuff Girls and Madame Foster, though.
@supervanman64
ReplyDeleteBefore?
Okay, but seriously, this was an excellent flash animation. Props to the creator.
@supervanman64
ReplyDeleteI don't like it in general (my little PONY, after all) but that art style was just creepy.
Holy Balls, Stop tripping out everypony! I bet you guys didn't even catch the PPG and Madam Foster cameos. >_> And considering what was done, It could have been MUCH worse. So stop being parasprites about it and just love the fuck out of it. :3
ReplyDeleteI'm not generally into humanised ponies, but that video's totally different to people drawing them as chicks in bikinis, or as college-age girls so they can fantasise about dating them.
ReplyDeleteIt's cute, and tries to stay faithful to the sort of design styles Lauren Faust uses in Foster's/PPG/Galaxy Girls. So yeah, nice effort.
The tree kicking looks hilarious.
ReplyDeleteTwo words: HOLY SHIT!!!!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteSo because we don't like it (read: we have a different opinion than you) we're trolling? Are you retarded?
It was well done, it just needs to be 200% less creepy.
They look kinda creepy o_O
ReplyDeleteBut i did love the refference cameos with the PowerPuff Girls and Madame Foster
Well...Only one good thing in this is Madam Foster and MLP FIS logo. Nothing moree.
ReplyDeleteThe sound quality could have been better though..
ReplyDeleteBlashpemy ...
ReplyDeleteI mean good job, yeah ... at least there's ... effort ...
Now where's my torch and pitchfork ?
.......I'm not sure if it's beautiful and horrifying.....
ReplyDeleteWait, no, I'm pretty sure it's horrifying.
I thought it was awesome. The animation looked a little stilted (Twilight running out of the balloon) and lacking speed variance for some actions (fluttershy's reaction to angel eating the apple) but it was a great effort. I liked Twilight and Spike at the beginning in the balloon the most, the subtlety of that movement was nice. Applejacks kick looked good too.
ReplyDeleteI do absolutely love seeing alternate versions of things though, so I may be a little biased.
EqD confirmed for a bunch of furry fucks.
ReplyDeleteI thought this was great. The character designs closely resemble that of the Galaxy Girls. MLP sure has some talented fans.
ReplyDeleteHumans? In MY Equestria?
ReplyDeleteI found it to be very well done, just some slight sound issues.
ReplyDeletePS. Who gave Derpy a Tank?
That....that was just awful.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteumad?
Also how is humanzing ponies furry realted? They are legit humans, not that anthro stuff.
(Yes I know that anthro is greek for human, but you know what I mean!)
I laughed so hard when Applejack kicked that tree xD
ReplyDeleteThere is only one way I can possibly respond to this.
ReplyDelete"dat animation".
me no Gusta
ReplyDeleteI don't automatically hate the idea of humanized ponies, but the art style just doesn't work for me. I think a Powerpuff Girls art style would be more appropriate than... whatever exactly that is. Between that and the choppy animation, I am not a fan of this concept.
ReplyDeleteYikes, send it to the moon.
ReplyDeleteThis is just a funny video. Art style is a bit creepy but the thing was just wel done.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of a parody to the normal intro. Maybe that's why a lot of you can't find it humorous.
Which, in my opinion, is a little narrow-minded.
Eww. Granny Foster making an appearance is the only good thing about this.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Not bad. Wish the art style for the humans were better but that's me.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Newgrounds page, this was drawn frame by frame. That alone is a lot of effort and I have to admire the artist for being able to complete it.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason the applejack scene of kicking a tree just seems so ridiculous that its funny. I did not expect that!
I'll admit the characters look kind of off, but aside from princess Celestia... Everyone else is great.
There's just one minor hiccup with rainbow dash's pause during her run but I'm willing to accept that as just a timing thing.
Looks good, although the animation was a bit stiff.
ReplyDeleteHa Derpy is driving the NG tank at the menu!

ReplyDeleteI'm very dissapointed sir, very.
KILL IT WITH FIRE
ReplyDelete@ chiselite and A Terrible Person
ReplyDeleteI think the artist was trying to keep an official Lauren Faust art style. The style used is the same as Lauren Faust's Galaxy girls, which can be found on her Deviantart: fyre-flye
Also, I just love how Rainbow was just flying.
ReplyDeleteAt first, I saw "Humanized", and all I thought was RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEGGG!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBut then I watched it and was actually like, huh, this is well done. I was expecting girls in bikinis with oversized tits, but there was none of that. Good job staying true to the show, SodaKick.
Yeah...I'll never be able to watch it like this...
ReplyDeletePonies make everything better apparently.
Man...there are just some things that you can't unsee! O.O
ReplyDeleteHey guys. I'm the dude that made this. I figured going in that I'd end up butchering the style a bit, or a lot, depending on the comments. I do understand where a lot of the complaints come from. I like their big ol heads, but I think their tiny bodies and twiggy legs negate the point. Coulda been a bit thicker. So I'm really sorry it's not your cup of tea, and I really could have done better. This is my first real attempt at animation and I worked really hard on this. I knew before I clicked submit that there were a ton of rookie mistakes out there in the open but I just needed to get it done and prove I could do this. There are a lot of things I know I could have done better. A lot better. But I'm also very proud of what I've done from a technical and visual standpoint with a lot of it. I learned a lot about flash and animating through means other than drawing each frame. I could go on about what I think or maybe even know I did right, but I'm not. That's not what I want to post about. I just want to say thank you to everyone, for the positive and negative criticism. If you all told me this was perfect, I would be a lot more prone to ignore my faults and keep making mistakes. And I think most of us know what happens when that happens (B^U)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I'm young, I'm very new at this, and I think I did a darn good job all things considered. But I appreciate all of the feedback I've gotten in so short of a time and I hope I get more, good or bad. I appreciate it. All of it. You're all entitled to your opinions and I'm so very happy to hear both sides of it.
So to the lovers. Thanks a lot. And to the haters. I'm sorry and I'll do better next time.
So something GOOD finally comes out of the community and you guys are bashing on it?!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteYes, I saw the reasoning behind choosing that art style, and I understand why the animator chose it. I still don't think it worked very well.
Fun fact: Lauren Faust also worked on The Powerpuff Girls, which is why I suggested that art style as an alternative.
Did I see the Powerpuff Girls in the background when Twilight landed?
ReplyDeleteNO
ReplyDelete10NOs
@Anonymous (the creator one)
ReplyDeleteDon't get discouraged by all this. As your first animation, it was bound to be rough around the edges anyway, but it was not at all a bad showing. My only gripe was the art style which I personally didn't like, but I admit despite that it was well-done.
However, you take that roughness and add in the general dislike for humanized ponies that this blog's community seems to have... well, you can see the results, can't you?
I thought it was pretty damn cool. Props to the artist, anyways. The amount of work that they pulled with this is nothing short of staggering.
ReplyDeleteI mean, I can get thinking it's a little off. But it's kind of insulting to start badmouthing it when there's absolutely nothing technically wrong with it.
I'd rather watch this than the Live Show! :P
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI've watched it a few more times now, it's really well done, and I think that for a lot of people there was no right way to do this.
This is pretty much the only example of ponies as people where I haven't shuddered a little bit. Also, DAT DUCK.
MLP fandom confirmed for most dysfunctional.
ReplyDeleteI can get not liking the art style. Not liking it because it's humanized and not in a fanservice way is...well, let's say bemusing and leave it at that.
Oh it's the creator. Now I feel bad.
ReplyDeleteIt's really good. Humanized ponies is just always weird, regardless of quality.
I think you did really good. The animation apparently freaks a lot of people out. I 'm not a fan of it either, but assumed you had a reason.
ReplyDeleteYou managed to create some humor with Applejack just kicking the tree (don't know why I found it hilarious, it's not like I was expecting anything else), and Spike using a duck of all things.
I'm kind of shocked at the reactions here.
Apparently a lot of people don't like humanized stuff and are unable to look past that.
All right, this guy gets mad props for doing this frame by frame, but it's still kinda creepy looking.
ReplyDeleteWasn't half bad as some of the people thought otherwise. The user was made a good effort to create a humanized version of Equestria, and to keep it true to the show.
ReplyDeleteThere were some animations that were wonky there and here, but the user gave it's best shot. I mean heck, there were some scenes that the user can't replicate without the need of 3rd party applications (despite the show created using Flash 8, some of the people created some custom software to enchance it's lifespan and give the show more charm) - so I'll give the user a pass for that.
*chuckle* Cameos! The Powerpuff Girls, and Madame Foster from Foster's Home.
I give it a solid A. Especially knowing (or guessing) how much work was put into this.
ReplyDeleteNot bad! My only real complant was the pidgin, should of made it Phil...Pil...the Pynoic...phinic....curse it all, the princess pet bird!
ReplyDeleteAlso, to everyone: That's a pigeon, not a duck.
ReplyDelete>Rainbow Dash flying without wings
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteFor a first attempt, this is incredible! The animation is mostly solid and reads very well but the character designs aren't all that attractive. It would have been more in keeping with the style of the show to use a rounder outline and cuter proportions but I understand why you went in the direction you did.
Don't worry about the negative comments. You did a very decent job.
Oh hey I can make a username. I'm so very bad at the internets. Haha.
ReplyDelete@Terrible Person, I honestly agree about the style. Though I didn't realize there was a hate for humanized ponies. Course I don't really know much about what the community does and doesn't like beyond the show. Live and learn I guess.
If you wanna know in terms of discouragement, I'm more happy that no one said anything about the Backgrounds. They were an absolute blast to replicate and BGs are my worst trait.
@Dave Mustang, the cynical Brony
ReplyDeleteIt's then you semi-literate foal.
What's with all of the hate for the characters as humans? I can almost understand people hating hard on anthro stuff, but why humans?
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest, I would not want to see the humanized FiM, but I can clearly see the author's intent. This was merely an experiment, a curiosity of using the FiM creator's different styles of animation. It's hardly anything to get truly upset about. This wasn't an attack, or a parody even. You can see in the video a real effort to incorporate the spirit of FiM. So come on, where is that love and tolerance us bronies are supposed to have?
ReplyDeleteThe animation isn't bad but i still prefer ponies.
ReplyDeletehaha spike looks kinky as a human.
@Sodakick
ReplyDeleteI think the hate for humanized is stronger here than in the community as a whole, but don't quote me on that. I know there's at least enough people who like them to create enough stuff for people to hate on =P
After re-watching it, looking at the backgrounds, I have to say those are very well done. They looked a lot like the show... which, on second thought, might have been part of the problem, since the characters themselves didn't look much like the show.... but regardless, they were very good.
Wow. THe human haters are gonna love this one.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a pretty cool flash, but no way in hay I'd watch a human version of the show.
WOW!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know how hard animating can be, and this was amazingly done! I'm really surprised how much it looked like the opening (besides the fact that they're humans x3) Amazing job!
I love seeing ALL sorts of different creative works come out of this fandom besides the usual. Ignore the big meanie pants comments on here. If some ponies can't handle the fact that there are no boundaries or borders for creativity then they shouldn't comment at all and act like bullies :) I'm happy to see something different and so well done! Keep up the great work :)
I thought it was funny. That duck was hilarious. Maybe y'all just suck at jokes?
ReplyDeletegreat animation and all, but......
ReplyDeleteTEH HEEL!!??
I like human ponies...and anthro ponies...hell I love almost any form of pony! ok not gore ponies or that stretchy Fluttershy pony from the training ground posts (that thing gave me nightmares) But even then Im not going to go out of my way to hate it, that would be a waste of time.
ReplyDeleteI really liked it (watched it a few more times) I just hate that bird at the end...yes I am going out of my way to hate it....damn bird!
My head exploded ---TWICE!!! But it's so awesome that I DON'T MIND! Great work!
ReplyDeleteAlso, did anyone else catch Yotsuba&! and friend at 00:12? (Far left side.)
I'm not fond of the bird either to be honest, but I really didn't want to animate that smoke. :(
ReplyDelete@Reynard, Chiyochan too.
Don't like it and not because of the humanized thing people are crying about. The character designs, it hit a neuron in my brain that brought a memory back.
ReplyDeleteI had to google it to make sure I wasn't nuts but to me it's there. The characters look like they came from the Braceface cartoon.
Cool... but wtf >__>
ReplyDeleteBut honestly, I'd actually like it KAWIIDESU style if it were more of an anime style. The style here was more of the Proportionless American [Seriously, those limbs were pretty damn skinny! That contributed to the WTF Levels] I can actually understand the negative reaction because the drawing style itself didn't feel natural. It had nothing to do with it being similar to the show.
But I like how much effort is put into this. [Duck. Lol]
I may not know much about animation, but I can see that it would take a lot of effort to pull off as well as you did, given the circumstances. I say great job. Top drawer.
ReplyDeleteThe character designs may have been something that we didn't expect, but there isn't necessarily anything wrong with that. I commend you for keeping within the spirit of Lauren Faust's works.
Some of us just need to be a little more open minded apparently.
Psh, I thought it was pretty cool. It's a fun concept, and executed well enough. I liked seeing his interpretation of the various scenes in the opening, and there were definitely some funny parts as a result (AJ's kick, the messenger bird). Well done, I say.
ReplyDeletesooo...they're allllll white.
ReplyDeleteinteresting
My only complaint is that I think humanized Spike should STILL have breathed fire and used that for communication. Because it's just cool.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, I approve +8
Quite well done.
ReplyDeleteTechnical critique: It could stand some playback controls, higher audio quality, and to be zoomed in a bit more, to make it easier to see all the nuances. Timing and placement of everything going on in it worked well though.
Opinion critique: I also wasn't too big on the art style. The legs seem too long and the characters are all too thin, or at least too twiggy. Adding a bit more thickness to the limbs would make it a bit easier to make out the characters and would make it easier to notice the work put into this. Also, some of the animations could flow a little more smoothly, a couple seemed jaggy or unnatural (Twilight running from the balloon, for instance, could've been better)
Also, where the FUCK did this hatred of humanized ponies sprout from? I love seeing how people would interpret them as humans. Other than some anthro stuff or 34 stuff, I've pretty much never seen them "in bikinis" or "with giant tits" like you all keep talking about.
And even if
Honestly, how does this fanbase write and love hundreds of shipping fics, but they can't handle some imaginative reinterpretations of the characters? If somethign relevant is being posted and you bitch about it solely because you downright refuse to accept anything in the entire artistic subclassification, you're doing a shit job as a brony.
Artists, PLEASE don't take the intolerant asses in these comments to heart. They get to read about ponies fucking, so you get to draw human versions of those characters playing and having innocent fun.
Honestly, you people act as though they're not thought of sexually when they're in pony form. "Plot" and "candy vag" mean anything to you?
Ahaha I love that "And even if" paragraph right there. I'm gonna get back to makin' videos.
ReplyDeletedo not want
ReplyDeleteSomepony managed to humanize the characters of the show in a way that doesn't degrade the show's concept to bikinis and r34 pics?
ReplyDeleteIt's got my instantaneous and full support.
@Pegasi
ReplyDeleteI think the anon is referring to how there's such a knee jerk disapproval simply because it uses humans instead of ponies.
and to the anon who posted "me no Gusta" I think you meant "No me gusta" the correct grammar version.
Nice work, it could work as a special episode, I remember the episode when The Simpsons were portrayed as normal human beings with rosy skin.
ReplyDeleteJeez, you bronies and your comments. At least this isn't shitty with MS Paint crap in it. I commend the effort that's put into this since animations in Flash take loads of work and it's not like it's a single frame moving with the mouth moving and eyes blinking. Some parts were iffy and need lots of work but there was effort put into this which is what i like the most.
ReplyDeleteI bet if anyone here could make this on their own, the results wouldn't be like this.
I may sound all whiny and shit but it's the truth.
Its funny how the top is easy hate and the bottom is true praise
ReplyDeleteApparently its faster to parasprite than being reasonable
@Marcoooootje1
ReplyDelete>Rainbow Dash flying without wings.
Take a closer look, she's hang gliding.
the animation was a bit choppy, but I personally liked the art style, but Spike using a duck was... odd, should have been a dove, or a raven, or a fucking actual dragon, now that would be cool
ReplyDeleteF you guys I liked this a lot. Good work.
ReplyDelete@BronyMike
ReplyDeleteHas anyone else told you that you're awesome? Because I'm about to now.
You're awesome.
From an animation stand point this is really good a lot of work and time went into this to get it this smooth must have taken hours and hours for at lest a week if they were hardcore about getting this done. but they lose a awesomeness about them when their humans.
ReplyDeleteWell, I certainly like the cast better as ponies, but this was... interesting. :P
ReplyDeleteReally though, it was pretty well done for a first attempt at project like this. Props and what-not to the creator.
@Basharoonskis
ReplyDeletelrn2 passenger pigeon
I think it looks like they were going for a pigeon, like a messenger pigeon, based on how it looks when it arrives to Celestia, but the color scheme is definitely too duck. I thought it was a duck. :O
ReplyDeleteDidn't even read the comments.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad when somepony can't be appreciated for hard work like this because their content gets such a bad rap as a genre.
Like that crappy My Little Pony tv show. It might be a 20 minute long toy commercial with no creativity whatsoever, but you know there's someone (or multiple people) who does the best they can with what they have.
Well done... but, the Art style kind of creeps me out. I applaud them but it's really not something I would ever prefer to ponies.
ReplyDeleteWell, I tell you this it was good, nice effort, and well put together and all that.
ReplyDeleteArt style isn't my cup of tea, and the animation could stand to be a bit better, but I got nothing wrong with humanized ponies as a concept. Nice work.
Its not bad, my only critique is that the characters all look too lanky. Its not bad.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't half bad. The animation was a little stiff, but for a solo project it was a good job. I liked the idea behind it. If the limbs were more rounded at the joints, and more fluid in their motions it would look better and closer to the MWGG style the artist/animator was going for.
ReplyDeleteTo all the people who complain about humanized ponies, I don't understand the hate. Why are ponified humans good but humanized ponies are bad? To me MLP fan art is MLP fan art no matter the style.
Oh Lawdy..
ReplyDeleteI can appreciate how much time and effort must have gone into this, but effort can't be worth 100% of the grade. The animation was choppy and the art style was creepy IMO. Even the sound quality wasn't great.
ReplyDeleteThis was well made, certainly better than I am able to do, but the whole thing triggerd my 'uncanny valley knee-jerk' reaction; something seemed... off about it.
ReplyDeleteNot bad, but the characters are too... ugh! Still going with ponies all the way.
ReplyDeleteThe character animations were choppy, the backgrounds looked lifeless, some of the human designs (like Celestia) were just creepy, and the sound quality was pretty terrible.
ReplyDeleteI really didn't like it.
Who ever did this did a great job and everything its just, anything other than ponies for MLP is just too weird for me, especially humans.
ReplyDeleteActually, the art style kind of grows on you after a while (Except for Celestia). The skinny bodies and big heads remind me of Lauren Faust's style, I am impressed the the artist tried to go for that style.
ReplyDeleteTo the haters, have you even TRIED animating? This probably took him DAYS and the quality is FANTASTIC. I say that this guy has a future career in animation, even if his character design could improve.
no thanks
ReplyDeleteI love how having an opinion makes you a troll.
ReplyDeleteMe: I don't like it. Technically, good job. Visually? no
Commentors: WAA UR ALL JUST HATRS AND TROLLS AND STUFF
Me: -_-
@BagOfChips
ReplyDeleteOh, so "kill it with fire" was just a typo, then? I can see how you'd intend to type "Technically, good job. Visually? No" and get that instead. The keys are like right next to each other.
It's okay to not like things, but don't be a dick about it.
@Bosstone
ReplyDeleteYou know you would look like less of an ass if you read ALL of my comments before responding. That first one was a joke.
"But they're creepy as hell.
It was well done but creepy. "
I acknowledged that it was well done but the art style wasn't my cup of tea.
That wasn't that bad Animation could be improved but for your first effort this is brilliant
ReplyDeleteAh. I'm the one looking like an ass. Of course. Carry on.
ReplyDeleteO.O
ReplyDeleteNo...just...no.
I'm pretty sure I've read fics about Ponies doing the deed. And these same people are complaining about a bunch of teenage girls in a fun innocent video? For a beginning work it was pretty good. I hope to see more from this guy in the future be it people or ponies. As long as it has nothing to do with the previously mentioned fan-fictions.
ReplyDeleteThis is shit and bullshit
ReplyDeleteWhoa on the hating guys, gals. This is a really good flash done in the Foster's style. I love this flash for it's matching and workarounds... The pidgeon turned out to be a duck though.. but that is a smooth animated piece.
ReplyDelete4/5 Stars.. Not Celestia level but great.
Animation is all good and all-- top notch actually-- but....... yea, never going to happen. <.<
ReplyDeleteHaha. Well, though I prefer them as ponies too, this was very well made. My applause to it's creator on an excellent job.
ReplyDeleteI prefer original opening but seeing Applebucking in AJ human style make me laugh. Anyway great job.
ReplyDelete......Not bad =|
ReplyDelete@Dave Mustang, the cynical Brony
ReplyDeleteis it wierd that i read that in the soldier's voice?
The problem I have with it is not that their humans but rather the art design. The real art design is wonderful, but this giant head, stick figure body design isn't something I'd watch. Perhaps I put to much emphasis on, art design, or w/e ever you want to call it. I don't really care.
ReplyDeleteA valiant try good sir.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather see humanized ponies then read creepy pony shipping love stories or have them made into some sort of furry porn.
ReplyDeleteThe guy that made this has put more creativity and hard work into it than most of the so-called "bronies" on here could squirt out of their puckered and abused assholes after a binge at El Carroña Mexican Buffet with an LD50 dose of Ex-Lax in their system and a gun to their head.
ReplyDeleteI say so-called because many of those replying are acting like stuck up dickheads, especially in the earlier posts. And I think I know why.
There is a detachment to what they see because to them it came into existence as simply as it appeared on their monitors. They feel free to make a mockery of it, to rip it apart and digest it like scavenger birds circling the highway for roadkill.
Then the creator shows up and explains the effort and artistry that went into the work, and now the piece not only has a living face attached, but one that's pretty cool and shit and doesn't afraid of anything. The dude's got Rainbow Dash sized balls for showing up after the blind and senseless tirade launched at his work.
Now instead of dismissing it and treating it as meat, the more intelligent and broad-minded individuals speak up (partially out of outrage at the previous intolerance shown), and some of those who earlier just shat on site now sober up and give more level-headed comments, some even maintaining and restating their rightful opinions, but with a little more civility this time.
tl;dr: Remember how MLP:FiM started out, and the shit dismissals and crap talked about it by people who just wanted to trash something? Don't be like that.
Pretty good, I honestly expected the art style to be much worse(judging from the picture and peoples posts). Still not something I'd really like, but definitely better than expected.
ReplyDeleteStill, very well done, I'd probably watch a redone version at some point once you get more experience, smoothing out the animation and whatnot.
@Filiecs
ReplyDeleteDays!? At least weeks, I bet! This stuff ain't easy!
The animators of the actual show take days to do a one-minute scene. Over a week if it's something complicated, like a song. This, as done by someone who's NOT a professional animator and, in fact, made this as his first animation? Must have taken a LONG time.
It really is a shame that hours heaped upon hours of work can be dismissed off-hand by so many, like it was nothing. I agree with everything
@Vermillion Twilight said (except maybe that colorful metaphor, heh). I hate feeling like I'm the only person who knows that someone is behind EVERYTHING you ever watch, and poured something of themselves into it. You shouldn't need to MEET the person to remember that fact.
Very good! If you compare the art style, the humans are very similar to how Lauren drew her "Galaxy Girls," characters. Plus, during the Ponyville scenes, characters from other Faust projects show up.
ReplyDeleteOverall, I have to give this an eight out of ten, because it got a little jerky at points.
Technically well done, nice flash, Smoothly animated.
ReplyDeleteBut the subject matter. No. Just fuckin NO! Ugh.. I need some brain bleach now. Oh wait, this 5th of everclear will do nicely.
Dudes, where's the love and tolerance when you're bashing against this fan-made opening? Sometimes you tend to forget what's being a brony about...
ReplyDeleteLove and tolerance, fellow bronies.
P.S. Loved the animation :D
Bahaha.. for some reason i fell to the floor laughing when i saw applejack kick that tree :D
ReplyDeleteWhat.
ReplyDeleteThat was nice. But the lack of magic seems forced, especially since the show has an abundance of magic, so completely removing it in the intro ruins it.
ReplyDeleteAnimation could be better, too. But, it was a nice 30 seconds
It was pretty good. Not bad at all for his first animation....
ReplyDeleteAlright, now that that's out of the way. Seriously people, there's furry art out there ruining our already jaded 'reputation' and you're complaining about the mane cast being human? Be GLAD when people portray them as human and not pony/human furry abominations.
Applejack kicking the tree had me laughing until my throat hurt. Awesome video.
ReplyDeleteThis is kinda scary...
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Not the best gijinka version of the cast I've seen, but impressive; most people keep it in fanart.
ReplyDeleteThis was pretty neat.
ReplyDeleteI noticed Madame Foster in the background.
kill it with fire
ReplyDeleteToo thin imo.
ReplyDeleteAmazing vid I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteNow shut up and take my money.
This made me cry a little... I think out of the pure..................... wrongness, good... I think.
ReplyDeleteIt's well done, but still...
ReplyDeleteNO PONIES?
GTFO
I liked it, very good job. The only bad part was the Spike scene.
ReplyDelete@BronyMike I agree with you completely
ReplyDeletei didnt like it, but good job for the effort
ReplyDeleteSeriously, what is the basis of the hatred for the humanised ponies? These comments are confusing. Isn't it obvious he was trying to emulate Lauren Faust's art style with her Galaxy Girls?
ReplyDeleteSomeone above did mention that all the girls are white though, would have been nice to vary that up a bit.
WOW that was actually freaking awesome.
ReplyDeleteMAKE AN ANIME VERSION!
You know, Its not as bad as I though it would be. I don't have a problem with Humanized ponies in general (Like all things, some are better than others but on a whole they are a better lot than the Humanized Sonic characters I've seen). Its just that when you put them into the opening, they just look weird. A lot of their actions were designed for them as ponies like Applejack bucking the tree. I have never been applepicking but I'm pretty sure they don't doing it like that. So like I said, not bad could have been a hell of a lot worse.
ReplyDeleteI liked it. Yes it has its fault’s but for someone’s first animation it's actually pretty amazing. Also we finally know where Yotsuba came from!
ReplyDeleteWeird , just weird...
ReplyDeleteI agree with Seth, it's nice but really, cartoons feautring humanoids, or even worse, humans?
ReplyDeletePfff, who would even watch those creepy shows......

ReplyDeleteThis is actually pretty good. Too bad about everyone's knee-jerk reaction to humanized ponies in the comments.
ReplyDelete..........what has happened to my ponies?

ReplyDelete"I remenber My Little Pony, my cousin used to watch this. Turning them into humans can be a good thing to modernize the franchise to this age."

ReplyDeleteSounds like HERESY.
ReplyDeleteCLEAN IT WITH FIRE! PURGE THOSE LANDS WITH HOLY FLAMES!
ReplyDeleteI agree to disagree with some of the people not liking the idea of "humanized" ponies.
ReplyDeleteIt's not much a question of "Why", but "How".
Simply speaking, "humanized" ponies are only awesome if they're drawn awesomely.
Now back to the matter at hand. My Little Pony... "As Girls"...?
I lol'd. Commendable effort, though, I'll give you that.
I thought is was really cute!
ReplyDeleteFunny that this concept even scared people back then. But now we have EQG which was awesome!

ReplyDeleteOh, the miracle of hindsight.
