Children of the Night is a fan-animated film created by the Duo Cartoonist team, Spirit and her husband Lionheart. It details the artists' interpretation on the origins of Nightmare Night, and the specifics of why Princess Celestia was forced banish Princess Luna. It is set to the song "Come Little Children", from the 1993 film Hocus Pocus, written by James Horner.[1] The version of the song used in the animation was arranged, recorded, and performed by Kate Covington. The lyrics' credits are not quite as well known, with some claiming they were written by John Debney for Hocus Pocus, while others claim they come from Edgar Allen Poe.[1] It also comes from Children Of The Night: Come Little Children, a British folk song released in 1934.[citation needed]
Synopsis
Gari explains that Princess Luna's attempted to make her own colony. When Celestia denies her request, she takes matters into her own hooves and adopts several fillies and flew off into the night.
Lyrics
Luna singing in her balcony
Gari: I still remember it like it was yesterday, though it was countless moons ago. After he was defeated, not much of our once beautiful home was left. And the two brave ones that stood up for us all ruled Equestria from then on. One day, the younger one, saddened by our daily struggles, proposed to form a new colony where all of us would grow strong and happy. But the elder one forbade it, for she felt that would divide and shatter the weakened kingdom forever. Nopony knows that we are still here, smiling beneath the moonlight while remembering our dear mother, for we will forever be... her children of the night.
[Princess Luna]
- Come, little children, I'll take thee away
- Into a land of enchantment
- Come, little children, the time's come to play
- Here in my garden of shadows
- Follow, sweet children, I'll show thee the way
- Through all the pain and the sorrows
- Weep not, poor children, for life is this way
- Murdering beauty and passions
- Hush now, dear children, it must be this way
- Too weary of life and deceptions
- Rest now, my children, for soon we'll away
- Into the calm and the quiet
- Come, little children, I'll take thee away
- Into a land of enchantment
- Come, little children, the time's come to play
- Here in my garden of shadows
