Party of Four, Ponies in Reverse. 00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:10.080 Kicking off our list are the four best party ponies in all of Equestria. 00:02:10.620 --> 00:02:15.140 Animated by Ponies in Reverse, who is rather new to the animation scene 00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:18.700 but made an upbeat and cute animation. 00:02:18.900 --> 00:02:22.860 With Pinkie Pie, Cheese Sandwich, Sugar Belle and Party Favor, 00:02:23.020 --> 00:02:25.560 And two songs in one video. 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.660 The song featured was a mashup of "Halo" 00:02:28.660 --> 00:02:30.440 and "Walking on Sunshine." 00:02:32.660 --> 00:02:36.900 This video even had a cameo appearance of other bronies within the fandom. 00:02:45.300 --> 00:02:48.760 Number #9 - Ruling the World, Scyrina 00:03:02.920 --> 00:03:05.740 With a very unique style of animation, 00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:09.880 "Ruling the World" featured the song "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" 00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:11.900 performed by Lorde. 00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:16.620 The distorted audio actually gives this video a more chilling vibe. 00:03:17.060 --> 00:03:19.620 Though that may have been just a happy accident. 00:03:20.160 --> 00:03:24.900 But the visual style of Celestia and Luna are both beautifully detailed, 00:03:24.900 --> 00:03:31.560 but the dark past and origin of Nightmare Moon is what makes this video hard to forget. 00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:47.620 Number #8 - Daylight's End, SFS Animation. 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.480 Featuring the beautiful song from League of Legends, 00:04:08.220 --> 00:04:11.900 "Daylight's End" perfectly fits Luna and her desire 00:04:11.900 --> 00:04:15.820 to balance the world of light with much needed darkness. 00:04:16.540 --> 00:04:19.740 This was one of Silly Filly Studios' first videos 00:04:20.060 --> 00:04:22.840 and it still makes an impression four years later. 00:04:31.320 --> 00:04:36.620 A truly simple concept with that elegant movement and melancholy theme 00:04:36.620 --> 00:04:39.460 that touches both darkness and loneliness. 00:04:42.020 --> 00:04:45.400 Number #7 - Awesome as I Wanna Be, CreatorOfPony 00:04:46.140 --> 00:04:49.260 The very first animation created by CreatorOfPony 00:04:49.260 --> 00:04:54.680 and we are treated to a short but spot-on recreation of "Awesome as I Wanna Be" 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.640 from the hit Equestria Girls film, "Rainbow Rocks." 00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:12.560 This was one of the first impressive animations done 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.440 with the Equestria Girls models on Blender. 00:05:15.900 --> 00:05:18.640 There are many recreations done with SFM, 00:05:18.640 --> 00:05:22.120 but this one had spot-on accuracy with the instruments, 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.800 setting, expressions and the ending. 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:33.780 Number #6 - Want it, Need it, OmegaOzone 00:05:37.460 --> 00:05:41.920 Though this animator cheated a bit by using samples from the show's animation, 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.260 most of the most memorable parts from this video 00:05:45.260 --> 00:05:48.020 are from the animator's animation. 00:05:59.400 --> 00:06:03.520 This video also makes up for this by the accuracy torward the original 00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:06.540 music video by Delta Heavy. 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:12.540 It helped the original story but modified the original parts perfectly torward the rest of the song 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.600 while still keeping it hypnotizingly dark about holding on 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:17.960 to the impossible. 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.240 Number #5 - Strangers, Mr. KupKake. 00:06:30.500 --> 00:06:34.280 From the hit song by Scratch21's "Strangers," 00:06:34.280 --> 00:06:36.520 has both love and heartache. 00:06:36.980 --> 00:06:42.840 Button Mash stars as the grown stallion with the childhood special somepony, Sweetie Belle. 00:06:43.080 --> 00:06:45.780 Now they're all grown up but missing each other 00:06:45.960 --> 00:06:48.060 and the time they had spent together. 00:06:57.100 --> 00:07:00.560 Scratch21 was also the original voice of Buttom Mash 00:07:00.580 --> 00:07:03.380 in most of JanAnimation's productions 00:07:03.460 --> 00:07:05.460 which explains the pairing... 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.940 And this video was made before Sweetie Belle got her cutie mark, 00:07:09.020 --> 00:07:12.120 which explains the alternate cutie mark seen here. 00:07:21.820 --> 00:07:24.900 Number #4 - Memories, Nutrafin. 00:07:41.700 --> 00:07:45.160 Time to bring out the tissues, we're bringin' out the tearjerkers. 00:07:45.980 --> 00:07:50.500 Nutrafin is probably better known for the Smile song reenacted with SFM. 00:07:50.840 --> 00:07:55.940 But Twilight's trip down Memory Lane with her loyal assistant and best friend, Spike 00:07:56.280 --> 00:07:59.280 make this a truly beautiful video. 00:07:59.640 --> 00:08:05.040 This video was also challenging to make as it was shot in one continuous take. 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:08.080 The song featured is Sarah's theme from the 00:08:08.080 --> 00:08:11.160 Final Fantasy 13.2 soundtrack. (If that was wrong, please correct me) 00:08:27.180 --> 00:08:30.240 Number #3 - The Walk, Ferexes. 00:08:30.840 --> 00:08:34.080 One of the few music videos animated by Ferexes 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.860 that use officially licensed songs, 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.220 "The Walk" is a simple story of the Mane Six 00:08:40.220 --> 00:08:43.760 coincidentally walking in the same forest at the same time, 00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:48.060 Fluttershy discovers a light that soon brings them all together. 00:08:48.540 --> 00:08:52.400 That creates something that no one has ever seen before. 00:09:07.900 --> 00:09:10.560 This video also serves as a great compliment 00:09:10.820 --> 00:09:12.820 to Fluttershy's dream. 00:09:13.060 --> 00:09:16.660 And the song that was featured was "Drops" by Nao Kakimoto 00:09:22.540 --> 00:09:26.280 Number #2 - Spitfire's Day Off, CaptainHoers 00:09:36.520 --> 00:09:40.560 Who said Pinkie Pie had to be the only pony with excessive happiness? 00:09:40.900 --> 00:09:46.120 "Spitfire's Day Off" definitely has the one of the most stylish and unique art styles. 00:09:46.660 --> 00:09:50.520 The video was, in all, fluid, fun and exciting. 00:09:50.760 --> 00:09:56.460 With both great animation of Spitfire and scenery shots with plenty of Easter eggs. 00:10:07.920 --> 00:10:11.080 Featuring the song "Come On Eileen" by Say Ferris, 00:10:11.560 --> 00:10:16.760 This video captures the unique feeling we all get when it's our day off. 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.020 Before the #1 pick, let's take a look at a few of honorable mentions. 00:10:45.540 --> 00:10:48.800 Number #1 - Rememberance, Argodaemon 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:53.200 If you had to choose between friends and forever, what would you choose? 00:10:53.640 --> 00:10:55.880 That's the main theme in this video. 00:10:56.180 --> 00:11:02.340 "Rememberance" was voted #3 in JHaller's Top 25 Pony Videos of 2015. 00:11:02.860 --> 00:11:06.700 With its breath-taking scenery shots and excellent choice of music, 00:11:07.180 --> 00:11:11.860 viewers are holding back tears as Twilight visits her friends once again. 00:11:12.500 --> 00:11:14.940 A visit that is long overdue. 00:11:21.540 --> 00:11:23.760 The songs featured are "Remember Me" 00:11:23.760 --> 00:11:27.120 and "Eyes Closin'" both by Thomas Bergersen. 00:11:27.780 --> 00:11:31.620 And the two year long production never sounded so great. 00:11:41.900 --> 00:11:45.820 Do you agree with our list?
