Fan Art
"Lauren Faust: I want to make THIS show now. Plus, I want the bottom of that grill plate as a bumper sticker."
 * How the Cutie Mark Crusaders obtained his cutie marks, Starcraft style
 * Pony Wars
 * There's tons of humanized fan art out there, but you know you drew up something awesome when show creator Lauren Faust (fyre-flye) comments on it.


 * And that art has been featured on this website.
 * It becomes about 20% more awesome when you realize what the source of inspiration is.
 * This picture that reenacts the final battle of Lagann Hen is awesome.
 * Madmaxy Equestria Battle (from Pinkie Pool). One of the best and most awesome thing you would ever see from the fans of My Little Pony.
 * Celestia defending her sister, at any cost. Also a massive Tear Jerker...
 * This is the second installment of a four-part story. Part one sets the stage beautifully; part three brings the whole family and a few other allies into the battle, going even farther up the awesomeness scale; and part four wraps it all up in classic heartwarming style.
 * What do you get when you mix Assassin's Creed with the most classy of background ponies? A whole lot of epic.
 * Rainbow Wake, a five-part comic. Bizarre, hilarious, and very epic. See also No. 25, a short and silly spin-off with a rather sweet ending.
 * Luna dances with the stars.
 * "Time Off". Each part focuses on a different member of the main cast in their downtime. So far, we've had Rarity and Rainbow Dash.
 * Now with Pinkie Pie.
 * Twilight faces off against some enemies, having just escaped from prison with Spike's help. It's as cool as it sounds.
 * A crossover picture with Prince of Persia.
 * Another Prince of Persia, but this one is more...cinematic. Now that's a Homage.
 * Nightmare Mode Celestia, anyone?
 * Bad Future Fluttershy must've taken lessons from Snow White in the combat applications of being a Friend to All Living Things.
 * Against the above, this one is about a Badass Adorable Fluttershy and provides Angel's origin story And The Stare. This could totally be a My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Episode.
 * Lady Gaga makeup looks so silly... unless you do it pony style, where it becomes DE MAGIKS.
 * In the sugar-light future...there is only FRIENDSHIP.
 * If you happen to be bored of plain old humanized ponies, how about a drawing, done by a professional Disney Parks artist, that crosses them with the gargoyles?
 * This is just one of several pieces depicting ponies from the series as army officers in a militaristic AU of Equestria, and yes, they're all as epic as this one.
 * How about General Derpy Hooves? with an Eyepatch of Power?
 * This rendition of Be Prepared is awesome in its own right.
 * Some artist also did one with Discord singing a version of The Oggie Boogie Song
 * The mane cast doing an honest-to-goodness rendition of EPICMEALTIME. Hell, it could be its own episode!
 * To be exact, only Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash take part in the cooking. Rarity appears only briefly, and Fluttershy doesn't appear at all. Also qualifies as Heartwarming, Funny, and Tear Jerker in different spots.
 * Now, there is a voice over dub of it as well, made by the dubber of the Nanoha Nano Striker S comics. The voices are off but it is still epic.
 * The Goddess-Empress of all Ponykind PROTECTS!
 * This image of Celestia going Mama Bear when Twilight has been injured.
 * The Legend of Solar Flare, depicting Celestia as the one who becomes evil in a perfect mimic of the opening art style.
 * This pic depicts Apple Bloom in a similar situation as a young Sora.
 * A Rainboom of my Own.
 * WE ARE LEGION...FOR WE ARE MANY...
 * The ultimate expression of all Pony periods is here! Drawn by Egophiliac, if this is not made into a Glass Window design, except for the downward arch part; unless it is possible or a "painted Stain Glass" window, I would be very surprised.
 * No matter who, or what, your brethren, family is family.
 * Even in ancient times, friendship is magic.
 * The artist also did a Crossover version using the Crest of Friendship from Digimon Adventure.
 * Pinkie Pie will make your eyes bleed (in a good way).
 * A season in review.
 * LUNA NOBIS CUSTODIT!
 * Nurse Redheart is most badass pony.
 * Spike puts Discord in his place, albeit unintentionally. Doubles as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
 * And we said NEIGH! We are but MARES! ROCK!!!
 * Tengen Toppa Pony Lagann!
 * In retrospect, telling them they could bring the whole kingdom of Canterlot wasn't such a bright idea.
 * Swan Dive.
 * Well that Discording backfired...
 * Don't mess with the Apple Family.
 * On that note, this. We knew Applejack was fast and athletic and all, but damn.
 * The Undefeated of Equestria
 * Scootaloo finds her own way to be like Rainbow Dash.
 * Megan returns.
 * Why tortoises are the best pet ever.
 * Best nanny in existence Squirrel Girl watches MLP on Saturday mornings. Your arguments are now moot.

 * Another Discording that doesn't go well.
 * She will always be Derpy Hooves.
 * Big Machintosh doing his best Harry Dresden impression.
 * Although a art piece of the "Creepy Ponies" series, this one features Princess Luna and Nyx defeating Nightmare Moon.

 * Nightmare Moon gains an apprentice.
 * The Good, the Bad and the Ugly with ponies.

 * Hey.... Won't you believe in her?
 * Doubles as heartwarming.
 * More assertive Fluttershy.
 * The Namby Pamby Princess would like a word with a certain red dragon.
 * Fluttershy giving the stare to end all stares to a terrified Discord.

 * From the same artist, the result of two chaotic beings coming together. Also Samus Aran, ponified.
 * Do not mess with Derpy's daugher.
 * This hand of mine glows with an awesome power! Its burning grip tells me to defeat you! Take this — my love, my anger, and all of my sorrow Shining Hoof!!
 * And now with Shining Armor and Princess Cadence as Domon and Rain Erupting Burning Hoof! Sekiha 'Love Love' Tenkyoken!
 * The Queen of Pirates Gol D Suprise
 * They will regret the day that they decided to buck with Sweetie Belle and Applebloom.
 * Maybe their special talent is rapping?
 * Legends of Equestria, based on the art style of World of Warcraft.
 * Derpy's final showdown!
 * Chibi Celestia will mess you up.
 * Ever wonder how Shining Armor got his Cutie Mark?
 * Twilight vs a Dalek.
 * Luna opening a can of whoop-flank on Chrysalis.
 * Join the Herd. Fight the Swarm. This could totally be the banner for a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic MMORPG.
 * cadence loves tiaras. And if you thought Cadence was a Badass Princess before...
 * What Fluttershy was really up to during the Changeling battle.
 * When the rainbow and elements rendezvous...
 * Discord serves as an example as to why you shouldn't mess with muffins in front of Derpy here, here and here.

Fan Videos
""And thus, the entire community got together, and had a massive orgy in celebration. And it was good.""
 * This video is enough to send shivers down one's spine.
 * Or this, which sets those flashbacks to the Gurren Lagann theme. It's as awesome as it sounds.
 * This video takes the Sonic Rainboom and cranks the awesomeness Up to Eleven thanks to some clever editing and choice of BGM (from Two Steps from Hell)
 * After God-knows-how-many incredible pony videos and songs, such as Eurobeat Brony's amazing remixes and Mr. Yaridovich's Youtube Poops, a Youtuber named NRGFORCE decided it was time for a medley. This was born, and it was fantastic. Go ahead, see if you can name all of the songs.
 * And for Brony Appreciation Day he made this medley. And it is awesome.
 * The opening of PONIES: The Anthology (think MLP meets AMV Hell), a shot for shot remake of the video for Kanye West's "Power".
 * And now someone ponified the lyrics.
 * Matching Pinkie Pie with "Cooking by the Book" and Spike to The Offspring's "Self Esteem" is just perfect.
 * This doesn't happen often, but one song from the anthology gets turned into its own full-length music video. Warning: NSFW level also raised.
 * And the original uploader has confirmed that, yes, a second anthology is on the way. Said the current top rated comment:


 * This video chronicles what every older fan goes through when they first watch.
 * This remix. Various youtubers have commented saying that this video encompasses why this show is so awesome.
 * The Cutie Mark That I Get. Definitely one of the best tribute PMV ever. One reason it's so awesome is the perfect editing and song choice, and the fact that it uses some of the most epic and memorable scenes from all 26 episodes of Season 1.
 * The Anthem of Harmony. Made as a tribute to The Mane Cast and the Elements of Harmony, it reeks of epicness, thanks to "The Unsung War" as background music. Well written lyrics that form into the legend are combined with the song's sweeping orchestra and Latin chanting for excellent result.
 * While we're talking about Ace Combat, these three ponified trailers are done almost perfectly, combing scenes from the series with footage from the trailers.
 * This PMV of Bohemian Rhapsody works exceptionally well. The editing is spot on, particularly the syncing and the scene choice.
 * Will the real Pony Shady please stand up?
 * Hi, my name is Twilight Sparkle.
 * And I'm not afraid.
 * Another PMV, using Frontier Psychiatrist.
 * Pinkie Pie Brings the Noise. That is all.
 * You're gonna go far, Rainbow Dash.
 * This fanmade animation is absolutely epic in terms of how well done it is, coming close to being at the same quality as the show itself.
 * This video has some of the best lip sync with an upbeat song that fits the show near perfectly.
 * Vinyl Scratch: Oh it's nothing special, it's just my BASS CANNON!
 * Star Ponies Gangsta Rap Mix. Essentially, two versions of Star Wars Gangsta Rap, only with changed characters. Features good lip-synching and despite the profanities, it manages to remain entertaining and funny.
 * This awesome fanmade trailer for the first two episodes. It's so amazingly done it looks like a real movie trailer!
 * The same person did one for Cutie Mark Chronicles which is just as awesome, if not even better.
 * And here's one for Return of Harmony
 * Along with a trailer for Dragonshy.
 * This Troper doesn't know why this PMV of Freedom Call's Warriors wasn't mentioned. For this Troper, it's the best PMV ever.
 * Ponyvarium. Dream Theater's 23-minute epic set to a combination of fanart and clips from the show. Even Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess thought it was awesome.
 * And now, A special message from Vinyl Scratch.
 * Rap battle. Twilight VS Trixie. That is all.
 * Here's another one with lyrics from Mic the Microphone. Trixie sounds spot on in this but there is some explicit language.
 * Discord Went Down To Ponyville and challenged Octavia to a duel.
 * "The Stars Will Aid in Her Escape" contains some of the best editing this troper has seen so far; retelling the premiere episodes in a way that blew me away. The fact that it is set to an epic piece of music ("Cosmic Love" by Florence and the Machine) doesn't hurt at all.
 * This PMV got a shout out in an officially licensed t-shirt. How cool is that?
 * You guys remember Beyond Her Tomb from the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic non-canon music section? It's been typographied.
 * Discord's backstory, told through utterly epic artwork and equally awesome music.
 * This We all know eventually, this great show, like all things, must end. But the memories, those will last a lifetime.
 * Dziwne zachowania (Weird behaviors) - probably the first PMV in foreign language. A crazy Polish rap song with perfectly blending scenes, it shows Discord singing about tolerating madness. Features Mane 6 and Trixie and has literally translated ponified lyrics.
 * Bonus points for Discord playing the role of Jaroslaw Kaczynski, a controversial Polish politician.
 * Transcendence; a PMV set to Creed's "Higher". Done in full CGI by the video creator. Mixing some animation from the show along with some backgrounds. And containing three fan-made pentagrams about the six elements, Celestia and Luna. With text fully translatable into English. Three words best describe this video: Oh. My. God.
 * The most epic dream ever.
 * That's it. We can now officially make fan episodes of the same quality of the show proper and this proves it.
 * Never Split The Part told in Pony. Notably for Larry Morris of Emerald Rose (the band recording the original song) commenting and giving his approval.
 * This. A fan-made trailer for the show that would leave some big budget blockbusters in awe
 * This PMV set to Voltaire's "Land of the Dead." Bonus points for getting favorited by no less than Voltaire itself.
 * Princesses of the Universe

Crossover Movies

 * These two fan videos, made by two different people, are incredibly awesome. The first combines this show with the climactic Crowning Moment of Awesome from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (specifically, the second compilation movie) to truly stunning and Hot-Blooded effect. The second is a music video that is spectacularly well done, especially in respect to the syncing. Not to mention it's really catchy.
 * And now you can enjoy Tengen Toppa Pony Laggan in HD!
 * This video. It's a pony MAD of the Touhou remix song "Night of Nights".
 * If you weren't convinced yet that My Little Pony and Doctor Who go perfectly together, after all the Doctor Whoof fanart and fanfics, then this should help quite a bit.
 * And now there's this, in the style of the original Dr. Who radio drama of yore. Bonuses for absolutely hilarious blooper reels!
 * Episode 4 not only has an extremely well done version of the Winter Wrap-Up song, but explains why Ditzy went north to get the southern birds. The Doctor took her there by accident. And while they were there, And what's Ditzy's response to being asked to be the Doctor's companion? Jump in head first!
 * Ponycraft 2. The synching is near perfect, the images correspond (humorously) with that of the trailer it's based off of. It's also one of the first "pony trailers" to become widely popular, helping influence other bronies to create their own epic pony trailers. Also doubles as a Crowning Moment of Funny.
 * This video also got posted on the official StarCraft II blog to celebrate the game's one year anniversary.
 * Someone else made a Princess of the Swarm trailer, swapping out some of the characters (Fluttershy for Luna as Kerrigan, for example). Its also pretty awesome.
 * The intro to Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes recreated as My Little Avengers: Equestria's Friendliest Ponies. Parts of it look identical to the Avengers intro, and the parts that don't at least match the sound effects.
 * This video combines My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic and Mulan, also capturing the scenes from Mulan to make one of the most epic things you will see, especially after the 2:35 mark, where they show all of the epic moments throughout the series.
 * What makes it even more epic is the fact that Rarity, the most feminine and ladylike pony, is singing Shang's song of how to be a man.
 * This video combines Rainbow Dash with the song "I Can Go The Distance" from Disney's Hercules and it syncs up beautifully.
 * This video which shows most of the epic moments of Season 1 along with the song "What I'm Made Of" from Sonic Heroes. Yes, and it's amazing.
 * This video features all of the ponies' most awesome moments from Season 1 along with how they got their cutie marks combined with the song "Live And Learn" from Sonic Adventure 2. As wonderful as it is in the beginning, it goes Up to Eleven and beyond once it hits the 2:30 mark.
 * Also, Pinkie Pie is Eggman.
 * Yet again from a Sonic the Hedgehog game, Escape from the City really fits Rainbow Dash, doesn't it?
 * Yet another Sonic PMV, this one fits Rainbow Dash to "Reach For the Stars", combined with major Visual Effects of Awesome.
 * This Pinkie Pie short animated completely by a fan is very well done, in addition to being completely adorable.
 * Pinkie Pie IS The Joker. Discord too.
 * Friendship is Magic + dialogs from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night = this video.
 * Currently, it has subtitles in three languages: English, Polish and Swedish. The creator states that if any brony is willing to provide subtitles in other languages, he'll be glad to add them to the list.
 * The Lord of the Ponies: Fellowship of the Brony.
 * Pony League: Unlimited
 * And for that matter, many "ponified" openings such as: Pinkazoid!, Darkwing Dash, Mortal Pony Kombat: Defenders of Equestria or Samurai Applejack
 * You didn't mention The Venture Ponies, why?
 * This video for Discord using Jafar's Villain Song "You're Only Second Rate". The lip syncing is great and the song fits Discord perfectly.
 * The final speech from The Great Dictator, set to ponies.
 * Ladies and gentlemen, The Beatle Bronies!! They are a group of YouTube users who take Beatle songs and pony-ifies the lyrics. It is much Better Than It Sounds and somehow manages to make many of their covers as powerful as the originals.
 * This stop motion video crossover with a Guncannon protecting Fluttershy from a Zaku.
 * Take The Nexus' entrance theme and apply it to the Mane Six -- the end result is "We Are One (Friendship is Nexus)".
 * This animatic of young Discord and Celestia, set to a beautifully-sung pony version of "Heaven's Light". It's overall very sweet if a little sad, but most impressively has professional-caliber staging and drawing.
 * Bonus points that the singer actually sounds like Tom Hulce.
 * DisQord tells Twilight Sparkle that he'll see her... out there.
 * This version of Be Our Guest. Applejack's speakin' in fancy!
 * Baked Bad Apple Pie. It's a ponyfied version of This Touhou video (Bad Apple). The number of cameos is quite stunning actually.
 * Pinkie and the Brain. It fits so perfectly.
 * There's only one pony who can deal with Cutie Pox: Horse MD!
 * Since the release of The Return Of Harmony Part 2, there had been countless videos setting the end Star Wars homage to the music on which that homage is based. Well, one YouTube user decided to go one step further and set most of the two part saga to cues John Williams wrote for Episode 1. Filtering out William Anderson's score, he gave himself a clean slate to work with and went nuts from there. Now, you're probably wondering to yourself, "Would it be any good, then?" Let me just put it this way: "For the answer that you seek, go ahead: take a peak."
 * Applejack, Texas Ranger.
 * Super Pony Taisen: Equestrian Frontier. Words don't do it justice...
 * Friendship is Magic: Go Go Ponysu sets ponies to the theme of Rescue Sentai Go Go Five.
 * This video pairs the show with "Deliver Us." Surprisingly, it works.
 * As demonstrated here, the song "I'm Me" from Phineas and Ferb fits Rainbow Dash to a T.
 * The Fist of the Shy Pony That bunny is already dead.
 * If Dethklok approves of My Little Pony, you have no reason to fear your masculinity.
 * Game of Ponies. Bonus points for going with the rock version of the audio and going completely original with the video.
 * Friendship is Magic+The Boondocks=THIS! (Warning: contains adult language, adult situations, and cute colorful ponies. We warned you.)
 * "Eurpting Burning Pony Pony Tenkyoken!"
 * My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic + various anime
 * My Little Baccano. The transitions are just magnificent.
 * Bleach
 * Cardcaptor Sakura
 * Code Geass
 * Cowboy Bebop
 * Death Note and My Little Pony have never before made so much sense together.
 * Naruto
 * Nichijou Opening 1 and Opening 2
 * One Piece (Dubbed)
 * Outlaw Star
 * Persona 3 & Persona 4 for the video game crowd.
 * Samurai Champloo
 * Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
 * Pony Watchmen.
 * This ponyfied version of the trailer for Knights of the Old Republic. Nightmare Moon makes a good Darth Malak.
 * FINAL HARMONY BLASTER!
 * Using the Final Boss Phase 2 theme for the Defeat of Nightmare Moon scene is pretty epic, since the music syncs up to the action very well.
 * Even more awesome version here.
 * Snips drank too many smoothies.
 * A ponification of Charlie Chaplin's incredibly moving speech from The Great Dictator.
 * Poor Unfortunate Souls. That is all.

Other
"Celestia: You and your changelings will no longer be allowed into Equestria. Any violation of that law will lead to immediate harsh repercussions. Or, to put it more simply, if you or anypony comes back into my homeland, I will be back. And if I come back...I. WILL. END. YOU."
 * A Brony named Brainbread is known for making high quality pony plushies. His current masterpiece that is up for auction is a life-sized Rainbow Dash. 49 in. tall, 32 in. long from nose to tail, 24 in. from wing to wing. As Brainbread posted, This is truly My Epic Pony: Friendship is Life Sized. As a matter of fact, it was so hotly contested that it has ended up going for a whopping 4900 US Dollars.
 * Another one by a different eBay user: a 46" tall, seated Pinkie Pie. The winning bid was $740 US.
 * In the web series "Death Battle," Rainbow Dash is put up against Starscream. She KICKS HIS ASS!
 * For the record, this is in a series where the matchups are usually actually rather close; between these two, however, there was no comparison.
 * Even better? A follow-up video was posted later, holding a poll on who would really win - and most agreed that the fifty-foot killer robot would have nothing on the small adorable pegasus. Everyone involved in the poll was a Transformers fan, at a Transformers convention. The only fans who believed Starscream would win were three who were not familiar with My Little Pony.
 * In the best ending of Super Filly Adventure, the main character Jade takes down a dragon ALL BY HERSELF (say what you will about Fluttershy dropping a bear, but what Jade does blows that out of the water, considering that Jade is only a filly).
 * Speaking of Fluttershy, this, just this..
 * In the first installment of the fanfic The Elements of Gaming,
 * What about this? while playing Rock Band, after playing the pony versions of "Sweet Child of Mine" and Jet's "Are You Gonna Be My Girl", Pinkie Pie says they're too slow, even on Hard mode. But when they played "Through the Fire and Flames" by Dragon Force (video game), she, without a doubt, found her jam! Pinkie Pie was on Expert in guitar and vocals, with Applejack and Rainbow Dash in Normal in drums and bass respectively.
 * From the same chapter: Fluttershy sang lead on a ponified "Hotel California" and turned in one of the sweetest vocal performances her friends had ever heard. The kicker? She only scored 13% because her voice was too soft for the microphone to pick up.
 * Fighting is Magic: that's right, they're taking the ponies you love, putting them in a fighting game and exhibiting show/retail game level production value.
 * This rewrite of Emperor Joker's "Where's the Fun in That" from Batman the Brave And The Bold from our own forum. I always thought that with a little rewrite, that song would fit Discord perfectly, and someone did it.
 * Heart of Gold, Feathers of Steel Celestia shows an 80-member tribe of pony-eating griffons why she is called a god. One spell, 77 kills. And the survivors were spared to send a message to the other tribes. Yeah, Celestia doesn't play around at all.
 * Recently, a brony by the DeviantArt handle of "WhiteDove-Creations" made a plushie of Lauren Faust's OC alicorn. The craftsmanship of it alone is amazingly impressive, but what pushes this into C Mo A territory is the fact that it was purchased by none other than Lauren herself. Epic win, friend. *brohoof*
 * Round Two. Celestia travels to Chrysalis' hive, lands in front of her, and tells her why she's there. To discuss Chrysalis' terms of surrender! As if that weren't badass enough, when Chrysalis mocks her for not stopping the Changelings earlier (Celestia didn't know the true extent of what they were doing), Celestia lays into her with one glorious "The Reason You Suck" Speech. When Chrysalis refuses peace and threatens to make an example of Celestia, admits she saw that coming.  and tells her exactly what will happen if she ever threatens her little ponies again:

 * Celestia follows this by Do not mess with Celestia's subjects.
 * The Ponies Make War fanfiction is made almost on pure awesome. It is a very dark story but still keeps the entire 'Friendship is Magic' theme of the original show. Plus it has brilliant fight scenes
 * In the most recent chapter, Twilight uses her magic creatively to Null Space. 2. Separating iron out from all of that metal. 3. Heating up said metal until it melts. 4. Allowing melted metal to fall in a Null Space that has a) No end, and b) no friction to stop it accelerating. 5. Fire it at the . If Twilight had collected more iron. Chances are  would be DEAD

"Sooo awesome! /)^3^(\"
