* BetterThanCanon: In the comments section to the video, it's not uncommon to see commenters mention that they find the animation's interpretation of Celestia vs Nightmare Moon more appealing than the canonical version.
** The fight is more action-packed than the one presented in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E2PrincessTwilightSparklePart2 Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 2]]".
** [[FanDislikedExplanation Unlike the comics]], the animation seems to support the idea that outside forces had little if anything to do with Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon, as not once has she referenced anyone but herself regarding turning into her.
** In the aforementioned episode, it's left vague if Celestia intentionally banished Luna/Nightmare Moon, or if she didn't know the elements would do that. In this version, it's clear: banishing Luna/Nightmare Moon was a genuine accident. It only happened because Celestia defended herself, and her reaction afterwards strongly implies she didn't realize the elements would do that (which makes sense since she wasn't trying to attack with them).
** The show often justifies Celestia banishing Luna, with her (and sometimes, other characters) saying she had to do it. The issue is the show never dived into the matter beyond that, so the audience is supposed to assume Celestia is 100% innocent. But '' Lullaby For A Princess'' has Celestia blaming herself for it all and not once ever trying to justify her actions, despite we are shown she tried to help and was rejected. In other words, Celestia really is more sympathetic here than in the show because we actually see she tried to do something.

* BetterThanCanon: In the comments section to the video, it's not uncommon to see commenters mention that they find the animation's interpretation of Celestia vs Nightmare Moon more appealing than the canonical version as depicted in ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E2PrincessTwilightSparklePart2 Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 2]]''. The animation uses outdated {{fanon}} that has been jossed (Luna not having an ethereal mane a millenium ago, Celestia having a pink mane a millennium ago, Nightmare Moon being brought on by Luna herself rather than [[spoiler:the Nightmare]], etc) but that fans still enjoy nevertheless. The fight is also more action-packed than the one presented in the show.

* TearJerker: The whole thing, really, but this set of lyrics in particular:
-->"Soon did that pony take notice that others did not give her sister her due\\
And neither had she loved her as she deserved, she watched as her sister's unhappiness grew\\
But such is the way of the limelight it sweetly takes hold of the mind of its host\\
[[MyGreatestFailure And that foolish pony did nothing to stop the destruction of one who had needed her most..."]]

** In its favor (unlike the comics) the animated series seems to support the fanon idea that outside forces had little if anything to do with Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon, as not once has she referenced anyone but herself regarding turning into her.

** And poor Celestia, realizing her mistake, and knowing she can no longer do anything to get her dear sister back for the next thousand years. She might have been blinded by the glory and attention she received, but deep down, she has loved Luna the whole time.
