''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW5n3k2VgZE Children of the Night]]'' is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' animation by Duo Cartoonist. The animation uses a cover of "Come Little Children" from ''Film/HocusPocus''.
The animation starts with a narrative by a mare. After Discord was defeated, Luna and Celestia became the rulers of Equestria. One day Luna proposed the idea of a colony to help ponies who were dealing with hardships after Discord's rule. Celestia disagreed because creating a select colony would divide the already weak Equestria.
Luna didn't listen to her sister. In secret she took orphaned foals and led them away similar to ''Literature/{{The Pied Piper|OfHamelin}}''.
The song tells of a time just before Nightmare Moon. The disagreement between Luna and Celestia is the catalyst for Nightmare Moon being born. Thus, the animation acts as a sort of prequel to ''Music/TheMoonRises'', a Luna VillainSong animation also by Cartoonist Duo.

!!''Children of the Night'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationalVillainy: Although Discord is not seen onscreen, the video implies that his reign of chaos was a lot worse than actually happened. In the series, Discord’s doing is unmade by a WorldHealingWave soon after he is turned into stone, while in the video his defeat left a realistic war scenery, with crops ruined, ponies struggling to survive and several orphans. As much as evil Discord enjoyed playing with ponies’ minds, he is not seen killing anybody onscreen (at least not intentionally), and in the Cosmos comic arc he saves a group of foals from a building melted by his psychotic companion. If Discord had killed so many ponies, hardly Celestia would have thought of giving him a second chance and neither Fluttershy would accept to try and reform him. Oh well, it is an Alternate Universe.
* AllThereInTheManual: The creators made a reference sheet for the designs and names of all the foals Luna spirits away. The mare that narrates the opening is known as [[https://mlpfanart.fandom.com/wiki/Gari Gari]].
* AnimalReligion: Fausticorn (a ponified version of Creator/LaurenFaust) is depicted multiple times and seems to be revered by ponies.
* FriendToAllChildren: Like in canon, Luna has a fondness for children. In fact, the entire conflict is based on Luna wanting to give these foals a happier life.
* HeartwarmingOrphan: Luna takes a bunch of cute orphan foals and flies them away someplace better.
* OriginalFlavor: It's done in a very on-model animation style.
* TitleDrop: The narrative pony title drops the animation's name at the start:
-->''"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".''
