Children Of The Night - Animation of MLP

She was excited to find this from nowhere, literally nowhere. It just popped up one day and she clicked on its blog, a blog of a highly talented team of animation creators, whom she figured are huge huge huge (x10000) fans of MLP.

She watched this animation, scrutinized it, and decided that if she would ever get a chance to meet the makers she would ask them some questions, which might one day be answered...

That music, that hauntingly beautiful music and lyrics, it gave her the shivers.

If you are not a pony fan, please stay away, this ain't no place for you...

1. Who is the stone statue and why is it crying?
2. Why did Luna go against the wishes of Celestia?
3. Why did Luna take only the 3 ponies from the (supposedly) orphanage, leaving the other 3 on the lower bunk?

It seemed like Luna took only the pitiful and homeless young foals as the lyrics implied they were in "pain and sorrow". Seemed like it was for a good cause, and yet it seemed wrong, like it was kidnapping the foals from their homes (although they might not have been in their homes, as one was clearly sleeping on the street, and 3 others from bunk beds that implied either an orphanage or a boarding house for abandoned foals). Something perhaps Celestia would not understand and thus forbade her to give it this shot in the beginning. Perhaps Luna knew of their pain as she was always watching over them in the night, and decided she could give them a better rest where they were. Hopefully that "rest" she was referring to is not luring the foals to death...

So many more questions to ask indeed, for now she will simply enjoy the perfect animation of the seamless and fluid flying ponies...

Listened to it enough to know the song inside out. Here are the lyrics for your enjoyment:

Children Of The Night

Come little children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment

Come little children
The time's come to play
Here in my garden of shadow

Follow sweet children
I'll show thee the way
Through all thee pain and sorrows

Weep not poor children
For life is this way
Murdering beauty and passions

Hush now dear children
It must be this way
Too weary of life and deceptions

Rest now dear children
For soon we'll awake
Into the calm and the quiet
