Description

This part… this part…(holds back liquid pride)  
The animation detail in this scene is some of the best.

Yeah, the detail’s good, but Twilight’s expression as she’s watching Celestia’s HOOF in particular still seems… well?

Uhm, the ponies did that alot though like all the time in all seasons so far. :/  
Their forelegs are very differently from our ponies legs, they´re more like arms with hooves instead of hands.

I had the honor of seeing my beautiful pony princess sing and I still thought the episode was meh.
 
I didn’t hate it. I didn’t like it. I just thought it was ok. Make of that what you will.

And then comes the part where she sings ‘-your des-ti-neeeee’ and proceeds to break both her forelegs so she can bend them the… holdon there, her foreleg knees bend /both/ ways!

Well, that remains to be seen, doesn’t it? Power can corrupt even the noblest of souls.
 
We’ll probably get an episode about not abusing authority, at the most. But the fanfics write themselves!

But going off of your point of view, in this case… Sure, pulling the strings on someone’s destiny is a little twisted, but do you really think Twilight would have said no when asked?
 
I think if anything, Season 3 has shown us that Twilight is secretly rather ambitious. And now she’s an alicorn princess. Now she has all the time in the world to explore magic and experiment to her heart’s content.

All hail Celestia.

In all seriousness, Celestia probably just didn’t want to lose Twilight. Destiny be damned, she’s the first pony that’s really touched her heart.
 
Shame that Twilight more than likely doesn’t feel the same way. A hundred years later and she’ll still call her “princess”.

The implication that we’ve been getting is that Celestia has been looking for a unicorn with Twilight’s power for some time, and sent Twi to learn friendship and leadership - assuring she finally found the right “soul” to ascend to princess. It’s just as much a key step in Twilight’s growth as it is as part of Celestia’s longer goal of assuring a peaceful future for Equestria.
 
It’s a beautiful moment between the two.

Please. Like Twilight would have ever considered the long term effects of becoming an alicorn. This episode was written in late 2011, and they decided themselves to write it this way.

This song was, by far, the highlight of the episode—nay, the season—no, the series!
 
Personally, I’ve been waiting for a musical number by Celestia since the first episode when I first heard her voice narrating the opening. It was just beautiful, and I was not disappointed in the least.
