Why does every picture I see of filly/younger Princess Celestia show her with just pink hair, instead of her stripes? Is it G1-G3 continuity?

I cry at the song during Toy Story 2 every time, because it explains why Jessie is being the way she is, but here, I'm sorry, it just didn't hold the same effect. It is well done, the art is masterful, and I felt something, but it just wasn't the same effect. Luna was overcome with jealousy, not abandonment. Make it from Celestia's point of view, and it'll hit me.

@Risky In the mythology opening of MLP:FIM Episode 1, it shows Celestia with a pink mane. It isn't until we see her in episode 2 that she's shown to have a striped mane.

So, it was sometime after Luna's banishment that Celestia gained her striped mane we see in the show.

Ow. 1:38-2:12 hurt.

This may not be canon according to the show, but it's a close parallel that wouldn't be out of place in the world.

Also, because we don't know how long the sisters ruled before Luna became NMM, it is possible that something like this could have happened, could have been one of the factors that lead up to the NMM incident and that, I think, is what makes this movie so effective.

Also this song... This song and Goodbye May Seem Forever from The Fox and the Hound....

Daggers in the heart.

Thanks Ego.

Also a UK brony, if it doesn't get streamed online (which would translate to sometime around 2pm here I think) then it would definitely be uploaded to youtube within 24 hours, knowing this fandom.
And I thank all in advance for such a service. So many of my favourite shows are American, and without people uploading them, I'd have to wait months to watch shows.

Regarding this pmv, it is awesome. The custom artwork makes it feel more heartfelt than using clips from the show (lol ain't enough luna for that).

Time and again we've survived the waves of diabetes and heart attacks caused by her comics, so she has finally brought out the big guns.

But you'll never take me down, Ego. Never!

That song, guys, DAT SONG. I didn't used to wear my emotions on my sleeve like this... when did I start tearing up with decade-old nostalgic catharsis at youtube videos? I think the ponies put me into a state of emotional defenselessness, because most of my thoughts were actually about the movie rather than Celestia/Luna, but the themes of growing apart and reconciling were just what were needed. Well played, Ego.

I previewed, but a spelling error still sneaked in, so here it is again.

Teared up watching it.
Teared up again just reading the comments a day or so later without having re-watched the video.
Not manly tears, not girly tears... human tears (or does that make them manly? I don't know the rules for such things).

I do think that it would fit better with the roles reversed, but I can also see why it is more obvious to do it this way, since Celestia is the "big" sister, and thus more like Jesse in that regard.
