Thank You Lauren Faust - My Little Pony - Animation

Some questions answered below, please read: A reminder of the serendipitous nature of life. True story. I noticed other Thank You Lauren Faust videos posted on YouTube, so I've decided to make one myself. I haven't spoken to Lauren, Hasbro, or anyone related to MLP. Thank you for capturing my imagination at a young age- I never stopped loving animation. Some background information: I discovered this connection about a month ago. I didn't know Lauren's last name so I was never able to attach her to any of her projects. When I saw her name posted somewhere regarding the show My Little Pony FiM, I knew it had to be her. After a couple of days holed up in my room, enjoying MLP FiM for the first time, I called home. My mom confirmed her full name- she had never looked her up so she was pretty excited too. She found all the drawings for me- there were also a lot of pony drawings in the original artwork style. I chose to omit them as the design has been revamped. These are quick marker/pen sketches and pencil drawings that she did to keep us amused. Update 03.20.12: Thanks ED for the sweet write-up: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/03... I love Lauren's response- I remember that Strawberry Shortcake house well! I did memorize/practice what I was going to say, which is why it may sound a little scripted, but I'm absolutely not reading anything. I've just never recorded myself. Ever. I wasn't expecting the attention so please bear with me :)
