Holy shit He actually did it There was quite some legends there on the credits I was there 8 years ago when he posted the first sketches, what a ride! Parabéns Alumx
Holy shit you came a long way. By any chance could you tell us roughly how long you've been working on this project? "Today is a Day" still holds a special place in my heart, could you remake that one day? 🙏🏾
thank you! the Today is a day was literally made in a day 😂 I recorded some weather skits which I didn't end up using, and made a silly song out of the samples, once that was done, animation was made in like 7-8h
The worldbuilding contrasting with the character animation style is so unique. 🎩☀ It was so worth the payoff after all these years of production. Amazing job! 💖

This is so fricking inspiring you don't even know Alumx. During all of the years I've been following your channel you have been one of the most inspirational people I have ever seen! Your art and personality you bring forward through it has influenced me during almost my entire teenage years (I'm about to turn 20). I can't express enough how much this means to me ♥
A true masterpiece. The blend of 2D and 3D brings the animation to life in a way that's hard to describe in words. Thank you so much for this wonderful gift to the community.
Really happy to see you finished this after all these years. Even though I strayed quite a bit from the pony community since 2019 when the show ended, it's always nice to see a quality animation like this see the light of day. Excellent work, Alumx.
It was such a treat to see a new Griffin animation from you Alumx! The Griffin Village saga is one of my all time favorites of your works I never get tired of it!!! The Griffin Village is just gorgeous! It makes me wish I could visit it someday!!!
You know, it was hard to believe that I saw the teaser trailer for this nearly 4 years ago! We've all been waiting for this for YEARS I can't believe it's finally here. Gotta say I can't watch this without crying it's so beautiful I love everything about it
You know when you get really immersed in a world and feel bittersweet when the story ends? You captured that feeling in four minutes. Inspiring animation.
Can't say anything more than that you're such an amazing role model, Alumx! Thanks for the years worth of work! I believe this is another memory seed from you, thank you!
That was beautiful. I can believe this took eight years, it almost feels like the gen 4 MLP never ended watching it. x) You kept it alive in your heart and computer screen, I guess. Well, thank you for finally finishing this wonderful dream and sharing it with us. Thanks and G'rest. You earned it.
really great work! My favorite song from the brony community, even after all these years, finally has a proper tribute made for it. So glad you were able to recover the project, worth it. Hope JackleApp sees this!
I uh... I've seen this pop up on my homepage for the past few days. Finally decided to watch it now. I just about burst into tears at the 3:40 mark. The sudden wave of nostalgia and sadness for the past I've lost to time overwhelmed me. Thank you, Alumx, It's been a long time since I've felt this much love in care for this series.
Absolutely stunning! this brought me to tears. every single frame is gorgeous and the way you meld and warp 3d and 2d together is mesmerizing and unlike anything else i've ever seen. And your architectural design and use of color are incredible god i wanna be in that town! i'm in awe of this and its making me feel motivated to pick up some old projects of my own. thank you for this masterpiece
aw alum this is one of the sweetest things i've ever seen 💛 this world you've set up feels so lived-in and vibrant, so much thought went into every aspect of this environment! the character relationships are so lovely, all so clear without a single spoken word. :`) i can tell how much raw passion went into this whole endeavor and i'm so proud of you!!!
Holy crap. I was always fond of Alumx style, but this really brings it to a whole other level. That was beautiful. And the cheer amount of work to bring this project to fruition... you're an inspiration to us all.
Absolutely stunning. A classic fandom song brought back into the limelight by an acclaimed animator showing their mastery of the craft. This is why i love this community so much
Ahh Congratulations Alum!!! Absolutely beautiful, so happy to finally see Griffin Village. Every detail swept me into the story and world - was an honor to cheer for you on your amazing project ❤🎉 May you continue thriving as a person/artist - you deserve all da love & support like from Bon Bon & Lyra ❤ Woooo! Way to go!!!! By the way, loved seeing little easter eggs like Noot in the foreground 😊 Adorable!!
This is probably going to get lost in the sea of comments but,,, I actually met you. I met you, like, 3? 4? years ago, at a vocation fair or something. I walked up to you because you were studying animation and I was super interested in it. You started telling me about the things you studied and did, and I complimented the MLP stickers on your computer. You laughed and said "I can't believe you also like the ponies!" So we spoke about MLP for a while, and showed me some of the animation you had for this video. "It's still a work in progress," you said, "I've been working on it for a while." I was soooo starstruck because your art was so amazing and the animation seemed really cool. I felt like I was talking to a celebrity. You told me you had a RU-vid channel, so I've been a subscriber ever since. You're probably not gonna even read this, but I just want to say that it's really inspiring to finally see the final project. It's amazing how far you have come, this is truly incredible and you really are an inspiration! Please keep doing what you do! It really is fantastic, wow! I can't stop watching this video. I can't believe I watched a small snippet of this video back when it was shorter than a teaser. Truly fantastic work!
I'm very inspired by artists that are willing to spend large amounts of time and creativity on projects that have no real way of bringing in cash flow. The mlp community was the best place for that, and this is one of the best examples of incredible ambition just for the love of the project. Great job, very impressive work
This is so wonderfully animated. You truly did a stellar job populating the scenes to truley make this world feel alive and like it had personality! Your work is always just so impressive!
Absolutely incredible. I can't believe it's been 4 years since I saw the preview at the final Bronycon. Thank you for keeping this project going. Summer is one of my favorite songs of all time (OK Autumn is my actual number 1 of all time but this ones associated with it) and it feels amazing knowing it got what it deserved. To see that there's still so much in this community. Thank you for all your work and dedication to the community that has helped shape all of us into who we are.
Cant beleuve its finally out! 8 years, huh? I remember the dats of you annoucing this project, and alllll the ups and downs along the way. You did good, Alumx, real good :) I hope you make more big projects in the future. Rest first though, thats important. Best of luck!
I remember the preview, but I forgot that this was being worked on. More importantly, I forgot how much I missed your style of animation in longer work. This is a wonderful thing to see!
Wow... Dios es hermoso, iba teniendo unos días bastante deprimido sin ganas de hacer animación, pero me hiciste acordar porque me gusta tanto hacer esto, y encima con una de mis series favoritas en todo los tiempos, muchas gracias y felicidades
GOD finally! ive been waitinh for this since the beggining, i love your art so much you have no idea, even shared it with a friend that worked for a animation studio, its really fun to watch! i keep trying to notice the strokes and all detail you put on everytime, thanks fo that!
Oh my god this was so cute and well done! The facial expression changes are great, the color pallets were fun and added to the overall visual really well, and god have I missed this song! I loved this! Very good job!
This is incredible! I can tell a lot of work into this and your animation style is so unique that all I want is to see more. Not to mention the song is a blast from the past.
It's out! This has been worth all the wait; what a fantastic video - the vibes are so warm and happy and you can feel the love and time this project got over the years! Thank you for releasing it, a wonderful story :D
Holly shid! This is just incredibly incredible! And with this art style it is even better! Animation is actually good even considering it is not the fancy one. And surroundings sometimes is just astonishing
