Well, this took longer than expected. Soon as I heard the song back in November when someone in the mlp topic on the gamefaqs cartoon board linked it I knew had to animate it. I wanted it to have more of a stage play feel to it, hence the simplicity (though not fully done as a play), as tribute to original work. Thought it would be a nice Christmas present. lol Didnt know what I was getting myself into. But here it is and I hope you enjoy it.
And it has now passed 5 million. *faints*
(and check out my comments below if you want to know why Nightmare Moon has no mane and tail)

Song is a cover of Confrontation from the Jekyll and Hyde broadway musical original written Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse. Based on the novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.
The end credits is one of the instrumental versions of the song.
The cover is sung by Dragonfoxgirl

Wanted to try a few new things out for this. Like the cel shading which I hadnt really done much with before. Seemed to work out ok. Probably not for every circumstance, but decent for something simple like this.
I had also never done any real sound mixing before. Certainly an area I need to work on. (and i found it odd that certain effects wouldnt save out in the final render for some reason. I dont know why.)
And Im loving the new models. the hair movement adds so much life to them. Though they can be a pain at times and like to spaz out.
Thanks to Nahka for the hard work redoing the pony models and putting that pack together.

And to Gonza for his own models (in this case Angel)
