Hello every pony and welcome to my blog where I review fan works and fanfiction in the MLP fandom. Today I have chosen an animation called Project Thundercloud. So without anymore hesitation lets start this review.

 

Plot- The story follows the character Derpy as she flies into Canterlot Castle for some reason. She begins to tell us how she got her cutie mark and her 'derpy' eyes and how it effects her life. After a short explanation on her being a mailmare that's when I really started to get lost. She ends her flashback and is in a room with pads with the mane sixes cutie marks and them and they go out one by one. Then Pinkie Pie gets incased in crystal, Trixie is there for some reason, derpy tells off and angry looking Celestia and than the credits roll, did you get any of that? Nether did I. Also at the end of the credits Derpy is in the celestial plain from the end of Magical Mystery Cure and is an alicorn. Overall what started out as an interesting look into derpy's past started throwing things at us with no explanation and leaves you with more questions than answers. There is apparently a part two being made and hopefully that will explain thing much better than this did.

 

Animation- in fairness the animation for this project is really good and you can see someone put a lot of time into it. However some of the characters movements seem slightly slow and stilted but it really isn't a problem. However my biggest complaint is that they use some 3D elements at several points and they look fine but when the ponies are in these environments they look very out of place, but overall everything looks nice.

 

Misc.- One other thing I think I have to address is that there are several pointless cameos made by characters in this, although it's nowhere near as bad as double rainboom. Like in the establishing shot you see Vinyl and Octavia and they just look out of place and aren't really necessary to anything, the same goes for several other characters in the background.

 

Overall score- 6/10: Despite the plot making no logical sense in the last few minutes the animation is actually some of the best I've seen from a fan project. So if your sitting around with nothing to do you should go and have a look. I don't heavily recommend this only because of this plot problem but if your curious you can give it a shot.

 

Leave your opinions down in the comments below and if you have an idea for any animations or fanfiction I can review leave it in the comments as well. Until next time, I'm DoubleRainbow_Dash and I bid you all a fond fair-well
