Transcript
00:00Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land.
00:16To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn.
00:21The younger brought out the moon to begin the night.
00:25Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies.
00:32But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful.
00:36The ponies relished and played in the day her elder sister brought forth, but shunned and slept through her beautiful night.
00:43One fateful day, the younger unicorn refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn.
00:49The elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young one's heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness, Nightmare Moon.
00:59She vowed that she would shroud the land in eternal night.
01:04Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to pony them, the Elements of Harmony.
01:11Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister and banished her permanently in the moon.
01:20The elder sister took on responsibility for both sun and moon, and harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since.
01:30Hmm, Elements of Harmony. I know I've heard of those before. But where?
01:40My little pony, my little pony, ah, my little pony.
01:48I used to wonder what friendship could be, my little pony, until you all shared its magic with me.
01:54Big adventure. Tons of fun. A beautiful heart, faithful and strong. Sharing kindness. It's an easy feat.
02:00And magic makes it all complete. You have mine. Do you know you're all my very best friends?
02:11There you are, Twilight. Moon Dancer is having a little get together in the West Castle courtyard. You wanna come?
02:25Oh, sorry girls. I got a lot of studying to catch up on.
02:33Does that pony do anything except study? I think she's more interested in books than friends.
02:39I know I've heard of the Elements of Harmony.
02:55Spike! Spike! Spike? There you are.
03:01Quick, find me that old copy of Predictions and Prophecies. What's that for?
03:07Well, it was a gift for Moon Dancer, but...
03:11Oh, Spike. You know we don't have time for that sort of thing.
03:15But we're on a break!
03:22No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Ugh! Spike! It's over here!
03:28Ah!
03:37Elements, elements, ee, ee, ee. Aha! Elements of Harmony. See Mare and the Moon?
03:44Mare and the Moon? But that's just an old pony's tail.
03:47Mare. Mare? Aha! The Mare and the Moon. Myth from olden pony times.
03:53A powerful pony who wanted to rule Equestria. Defeated by the Elements of Harmony and imprisoned in the Moon.
03:59Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape.
04:03And she will bring about nighttime eternal. Spike, do you know what this means?
04:08No.
04:13Take a note, please. To the princess.
04:15Oh, Doki?
04:17My dearest teacher, my continuing studies of pony magic have led me to discover that we are on the precipice of disaster.
04:24Hold on. Press in. Press in.
04:28Threshold.
04:30Well...
04:33Uh, Brink?
04:37Ugh! That's something really bad is about to happen.
04:41For you see, the mythical Mare and the Moon is in fact Nightmare Moon.
04:45And she's about to return to Equestria and bring with her eternal night.
04:49Something must be done to make sure this terrible prophecy does not come true.
04:54I await your quick response. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle.
04:59Twilight Sparkle. Got it.
05:03Great. Send it.
05:05Now?
05:06Of course.
05:07Uh, I don't know, Twilight. Princess Celestia is a little busy getting ready for the Summer Sun Celebration.
05:13And it's like the day after tomorrow.
05:15That's just it, Spike. The day after tomorrow is the thousandth year of the Summer Sun Celebration.
05:20It's imperative that the princess is told right away.
05:24Impera? Impera?
05:28Important.
05:30Okay, okay.
05:32There. It's on its way.
05:37But I wouldn't hold your breath.
05:39Oh, I'm not worried, Spike. The princess trusts me completely.
05:43In all the years she's been my mentor, she's never once doubted me.
05:46See? I knew she would want to take immediate action.
05:55My dearest, most faithful student, Twilight. You know that I value your diligence and that I trust you completely.
06:01Mm-hmm.
06:02But you simply must stop reading those dusty old books.
06:06My dear Twilight, there is more to a young pony's life than studying. So I'm sending you to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration in this year's location, Ponyville.
06:21And I have an even more essential task for you to complete. Make some friends!
06:29Aw.
06:30Look on the bright side, Twilight. The princess arranged for you to stay in a library. Doesn't that make you happy?
06:36Yes. Yes, it does. You know why? Because I'm right. I'll check on the preparations as fast as I can, then get to the library to find some proof of Nightmare Moon's return.
06:45But then, when will you make friends like the princess said?
06:48She said to check on preparations. I am her student and I'll do my royal duty, but the fate of Equestria does not rest on me making friends.
06:59Thank you, sirs.
07:01Maybe the ponies in Ponyville have interesting things to talk about.
07:06Come on, Twilight. Just try.
07:10Uh, hello?
07:16Well, that was interesting, all right.
07:19Hmm.
07:21Summer Sun Celebration Official Overseer's Checklist.
07:25Number one. Banquet Preparations. Sweet Apple Acres.
07:30Yee-haw!
07:39Let's get this over with.
07:41Good afternoon. My name is Twilight Sparkle.
07:45Well, how to do, Miss Twilight. A pleasure making your acquaintance. I'm Applejack.
07:50We here at Sweet Apple Acres sure do like making new friends.
07:53Friends? Actually, I...
07:56So, what can I do you for?
08:01Well, I am in fact here to supervise preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration. And you're in charge of the food?
08:07We sure as sugar are. Would you care to sample some?
08:09Well, as long as it doesn't take too long.
08:15Soup's on, everypony!
08:17Now, why don't I introduce y'all to the Apple family?
08:26Thanks, but I really need to hurry.
08:29This here's Apple Fritter.
08:31Apple Bumpkin.
08:33Red Gallon.
08:34Red Delicious. Golden Delicious.
08:35Apple Apple. Apple Stoodle. Apple Tart. Baked Apples. Apple Brioche. Apple Cinnamon Crisp.
08:39Big Macintosh. Apple Bloom.
08:42And...
08:44Granny Smith.
08:46Up and at him, Granny Smith. We got guests.
08:50Soup's on. I'm right here. Come on, come on.
08:53Why, I'd say they're already part of the family.
08:59Okay, well, I can see the food situation is handled, so we'll be on our way.
09:05Aren't you gonna stay for brunch?
09:08Sorry, but we have an awful lot to do.
09:12Aww.
09:16Fine.
09:17Food's all taken care of. Next is weather.
09:27Ugh. I ate too much pie.
09:31Hmm. There's supposed to be a Pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash clearing the clouds.
09:38Well, she's not doing a very good job, is she?
09:43Ugh.
09:44Uh, excuse me?
09:52Hmm.
09:53Let me help you.
10:03Oops. I guess I overdid it.
10:06Um, uh, how about this?
10:08My very own patented...
10:10Brain blow dry.
10:11No, no, don't thank me. You're quite welcome.
10:15Baaah.
10:20Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
10:22Ha, ha, ha!
10:24Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
10:26Let me guess. Your Rainbow Dash.
10:28Me, one and only.
10:30Why, you heard of me?
10:32I heard you're supposed to be keeping the sky clear.
10:34I'm Twilight Sparkle, and the princess sent me to check on the weather.
10:39Yeah, yeah, that'll be a snap.
10:41I'll do it in a jiffy, just as soon as I'm done practicing.
10:44Practicing for what?
10:46The Wonderbolts!
10:48They're gonna perform at the celebration tomorrow, and I'm gonna show them my stuff.
10:53The Wonderbolts?
10:54Yup.
10:55The most talented flyers in all of Equestria?
10:58That's them.
10:59Pfft, please. They'd never accept a Pegasus who can't even keep the sky clear for one measly day.
11:05Hey, I could clear the sky in ten seconds flat.
11:09Prove it.
11:18We'll loop around and play!
11:21What'd I say? Ten seconds flat.
11:25I'd never leave Ponyville hanging.
11:29You should see the look on your face.
11:33You're a laugh, Twilight Sparkle. I can't wait to hang out some more.
11:38Wow!
11:40She's amazing!
11:46Wait! It's kinda pretty once you get used to it.
11:52Decorations.
11:54Beautiful.
11:56Yes. The decor is coming along nicely. This ought to be quick. I'll be at the library in no time. Beautiful indeed.
12:04Not the decor.
12:07No. No. No. No. Oh! Goodness, no.
12:12How are my spines? Are they straight?
12:14Good afternoon.
12:15Just a moment, please. I'm in the zone, as to were.
12:21Oh yes. Sparkle always does the trick, does it not?
12:24Why, Rarity. You are a talent. Now, um, how can I help you–
12:29Oh ma'ire!
12:30Oh, my stars, darling!
12:32Whatever happens to your coiffure?
12:35Oh, you mean my mane?
12:37Well, it's a long story.
12:38I'm just here to check on the decorations,
12:40and then I'll be out of your hair.
12:41Out of my hair?
12:42What about your hair?
12:44Wait, where are we going?
12:47Help!
12:50No.
12:51No.
12:51Uh-uh.
12:52Too green.
12:53Too yellow.
12:54Too poofy.
12:55Not poofy enough.
12:56Too frilly.
12:57Too shiny.
12:58Now go on, my dear.
13:01You were telling me where you're from.
13:04I've been sent from Canterlot to...
13:11Huh?
13:13Canterlot?
13:14Oh, I am so envious, the glamour, the sophistication.
13:17I've always dreamed of living there.
13:20I can't wait to hear all about it.
13:23We are going to be the best of friends, you and I.
13:26Emeralds?
13:28What was I thinking?
13:30Let me get you some rubies.
13:32Quick, before she decides to dye my coat a new color.
13:37Wasn't she wonderful?
13:40Focus, Casanova.
13:41What's next on the list?
13:43Oh, music.
13:45It's the last one.
13:46Oh, my.
13:58Um, stop, please, everyone.
14:00Um, excuse me, sir.
14:02I mean, no offense, but your rhythm is just a teeny tiny bit off.
14:07Now, follow me, please.
14:09A one, a two.
14:11A one, two, three.
14:12Hello!
14:14Oh, my.
14:15I'm so sorry.
14:16I didn't mean to frighten your birds.
14:18I'm just here to check up on the music, and it's sounding beautiful.
14:27I'm Twilight Sparkle.
14:31What's your name?
14:33Um, I'm Fluttershy.
14:35I'm sorry, what was that?
14:38Um, my name is still Fluttershy.
14:42Didn't quite catch that.
14:50Well, um, it looks like your birds are back.
14:54So, I guess everything's in order.
14:56Keep up the good work.
15:00Okay.
15:02Well, that was easy.
15:03A baby dragon!
15:08I've never seen a baby dragon before.
15:11He's so cute.
15:13Well, well, well.
15:15Oh, my.
15:16He talks.
15:17I didn't know dragons could talk.
15:19That's just so incredibly wonderful.
15:22I just don't even know what to say.
15:25Well, in that case, we better be going.
15:27Oh, wait, wait.
15:28What's his name?
15:30I'm Spike.
15:31Hi, Spike.
15:32I'm Fluttershy.
15:32Fluttershy.
15:33Wow, a talking dragon.
15:35And what do dragons talk about?
15:37Oh.
15:38What do you want to know?
15:40Absolutely everything.
15:43Ugh.
15:44Well, I started out as a cute little purple and green egg.
15:49And that's the story of my whole entire life.
15:53Well, up until today.
15:54Do you want to hear about today?
15:56Oh, yes, please.
15:57I am so sorry.
16:00How did we get here so fast?
16:02This is where I'm staying while in Ponyville, and my poor baby dragon needs his sleep.
16:06No, I don't.
16:08Aw, look at that.
16:10He's so sleepy he can't even keep his widow balance.
16:13Poor thing.
16:14You simply must get him to bed.
16:17Yes, yes.
16:18We'll get right on that.
16:19Well, good night.
16:22Huh.
16:22Rude much?
16:24Sorry, Spike.
16:25But I have to convince the princess that Nightmare Moon is coming, and we're running out of time.
16:29I just need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of crazy ponies trying to make friends all the time.
16:33Now, where's the light?
16:36Surprise!
16:36Surprise!
16:42Surprise!
16:43Hi!
16:43Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for you.
16:47Were you surprised?
16:47Were you?
16:47Were you?
16:48Very surprised.
16:50Libraries are supposed to be quiet.
16:52Well, that's silly.
16:53What kind of welcome party would this be if we're quiet?
16:55I mean, duh, boring.
16:58You see, I saw you when you first got here, remember?
17:00You were all, hello, and I was all, remember?
17:02You see, I never saw you before, and if I never saw you before, that meant you're new.
17:05Because I know everypony, and I mean everypony in Ponyville.
17:08And if you're new, it meant you hadn't met anyone yet.
17:09And if you haven't met anyone yet, you must not have any friends.
17:11And if you don't have any friends, then you must be lonely.
17:13And that made me so sad, and I had an idea.
17:15And that's why I went, I should do a great, big, ginormous, super-duper, spectacular welcome
17:20party and invite everyone in Ponyville.
17:22See?
17:23And now you have lots and lots of friends.
17:27Are you all right, Sugarcube?
17:32Aw, she's so happy, she's crying.
17:37Hot sauce.
17:39Mmm.
17:41Yeah, that's good.
17:51Uh...
17:51Hey, Twilight, Pinkie Pie's starting for the tail of the pony.
17:55Want to play?
17:56No!
17:57All the ponies in this town are crazy!
18:00Do you know what time it is?
18:01It's the eve of the summer sun celebration.
18:04Everypony has to stay up, or they'll miss the princess raised the sun.
18:07You really should lighten up, Twilight.
18:09It's a party!
18:13Here I thought I have time to learn more about the elements of harmony.
18:17But, silly me, all this ridiculous friend-making has kept me from it!
18:21Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her
18:29escape, and she will bring about everlasting night.
18:32I hope the princess was right.
18:36I hope it really is just an old ponytail.
18:38Come on, Twilight!
18:39It's time to watch the sun rise!
18:49Isn't this exciting?
18:51Are you excited?
18:51Because I'm excited.
18:52I've never been so excited.
18:53Well, except for the time that I saw you walking into town, and I went,
18:55But, I mean, really, who can top that?
19:05Phillies and gentlecourts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning
19:11of the summer sun celebration!
19:14In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise and celebrate this,
19:23the longest day of the year!
19:26And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very pony
19:32who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer
19:37of harmony to all of Equestria, Princess Celestia!
19:46Huh?
19:47This can't be good.
19:50Remain calm, everypony.
19:52There must be a reasonable explanation.
19:55I love guessing games!
19:56Is she hiding?
19:58She's gone!
20:02Ooh, she's good.
20:07Oh, no!
20:13Nightmare moon!
20:16Oh, my beloved subject!
20:19It's been so long since I've seen your precious little sun-loving faces.
20:24What did you do with our princess?
20:27Hold in, Nelly!
20:30Why am I not royal enough for you?
20:34Don't you know who I am?
20:35Ooh, ooh!
20:36More guessing games!
20:37Um, Hokey Smokes!
20:38How about Queen Mimi?
20:40No, Black Snooty!
20:41Black Snooty!
20:42Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years?
20:50Did you not recall the legend?
20:52Did you not see the signs?
20:53I did.
20:54And I know who you are.
20:56You're the mare in the moon.
20:58Nightmare moon.
20:59Well, well, well, well, somepony who remembers me.
21:05Then you also know why I'm here.
21:07You're here to...
21:08To...
21:08Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last.
21:16From this moment forth, the night will last forever!
21:20A little ponies, to do it.
21:26E compartil рас Robert'ssquare.
21:26Let's go.
21:27Good job on it.
21:27Thank you, I'll be no longer.
21:28I'll be fine.
21:29Good job.
21:30What do you want?
21:31My little ponies.
21:35I can't wait.
21:36It's time to play.
21:37I'm not a good boy.
21:38I can't wait.
21:38You can't wait.
21:39I can't wait.
21:40My little pony.
21:40My little phony friends
