Pony & Boy
is an animated short about an unnamed boy and his pony.
It's an intentionally screwy short that starts with the boy getting a horse with an abnormally long tongue. He loves his horse and loves spending time with him.
"Let Me Tell You A Story" is a full version of the song heard at the end of the short Pony & Boy. It also explains the plot better than the short itself.
Pony & Boy provides examples of:
- Animalistic Abomination: A shooting star hits the pony and turns it from a regular horse into... whatever-it-is.
- A Dog Named "Dog": The pony is just called "Pony".
- Ambiguous Time Period: Is it set in the past or in a Retro Universe? The characters don't dress contemporary, yet a character has a mobile phone.
- Disguised Horror Story: It has an Adventure Time-like art design, but then there's creepy scenes like the nightmare sequence of the boy taking out his pony's heart. The short ends on an ominous note with the boy being sacrificed to something by the pony.
- Informed Species: The humans barely resemble humans and the pony doesn't look much like a pony, but special mention goes to the peaches. They're orange circles that aren't very peachy seeming at all.
- Missing Mom: The boy lives with his dad and grandmother, but no mother.
- No Name Given: No character is named.
- Would Hurt a Child: An angry man beats up the boy just because he thinks the boy is insulting him.
