[piguitit0]

[SElement91]

Wow, wonderful!

[dartbuttproductions]

OMG! It moves! ...just had a "blow my mind" moment cause totally wasn't expecting it to do anything. Very neat!!

[mosscarpet]

wow~~~~

[Featherwurm]

The first song is called 'Fugire' from the Cirque Du Soleil show Corteo. The rest of the music from the show is in a similar vein and definitely worth checking out.

[mweir91]

this is fucking bomb.

[keepkist]

Woow great job :) that's really cute! nice music :D from amelie isn't it? :)

[coreysizemore55]

that second song is from Amelie!

[Sorasama]

Aww, wish I could do that. But all I'm good at is drawing. :]

I do love your Golden imitation though. It's so cute. ♥

[xBoom27x]

What is the second song called? And where could I download it? Im simply inlove with it.

Also your creation is wonderful.

You are extremely talented.

[Featherwurm]

The song is called La Redécouverte, composed by Yann Tiersen, and is from the soundtrack to the movie Amelie, anywhere you might find the movie soundtrack, you would find that song.

[xBoom27x]

Thank you dearly :]

[ZeldyZeZebra]

That would be sad if he walked over the edge...

[todamushroom]

I. Want. It.

SO BAD!

[jickerack]

That's beautiful!

[ikashi114]

This is so awesome. I love it!

[TheStrangerDied]

This is beautiful! Thank you for the idea, I have been wondering about how to make my own Golden for a while.

[ferda18]

how do you make the pony walk?

[Featherwurm]

Underneath the fabric covering it has a 'barbie forever tawny horse' which is a plastic toy that walks in that motion.

[RemiFrance]

you are a true hero. wonderful. i love it. :)

[revilo314]

This is my new favourite video in the whole world.

Damn your description, I would pay good money for this. More than I should be willing to.

[ragstoriches919]

[noventaycuatro94]

help me please

Thanks!

[MPMaster]

I will buy this. Please message me, what do you want for it?

[ElReyCangri]

looks like the one from the film.

[XoGallopXo17]

i love the musicj hate the video

[Featherwurm]

I'm not quite really sure why it is, probably because Americans are prudes (honestly our attitudes towards violence in the media are appalling, but we're so caught up on sex. I think the European view is much more accurate as to he harm of things). The official quote on it is "language, some sexual content and nudity". If I recall correctly (it's been a while since I last watched it) it's really very mild though. Not quite sure why it warrants an R rating, but perhaps I'm forgetting something.

[cattrestini]

Beautiful. I hope I find one of these somewhere, someday! Thank you for sharing.

[JTorres06]

that is soo awesome,i give ya mad props.The science of sleep,is by far one of my fav movies of all time.

Amelie and Cirque du Soleil's Corte

I KNEW THEY SOUNDED FAMILIAR!

good show

cool horse

[EmilieSagae]

It's really fantastic and I'm not being picky here at all, because you did so fantasticly. But I think Golden is less perfectly shaped, more lopsided and droopy. You could have cut parts of the original plastic out and used stuffing in place, but maintained its sturdiness.

[Featherwurm]

Hmm, that is true, I wish I could have, but in order to maintain the mechanics of the toy, there was not much that could have been removed (the plastic joints and the mechanism are closely linked).  The molded plastic is also very brittle, and does not cut easily without breaking. Ah well, should I do another such thing, I'll bear it in mind!

[rachelrrose]

it is lovely! I like it soo much!

[MillaVanilla5]

Okay whoever recreated that is awesome! I adore that movie and am glad to see that I'm not the only one who enjoyed it.

[filterosolar]

wonderful charming

[omirocku]

OH

MY

GODNESS..

HOW IS THIS MADE?

[Featherwurm]

Simple, I took the toy, and sewed a new skin over it, making sure to leave enough room for the joints to move! Switch on the toy and it walks like Golden.

[tangledsailor]

That is amazing! you are SO clever.

[RikuHotGuy778]

YES!!! I want one XD Golden the Pony Boy

Stephane is awsome!

[xDSxVengeance]

uh ok.....

[boonhoddity]

I love this! It's really cool.

I have a few questions about this.

First of all, how big is your recreation? And is the, 'Barbie Forever Tawny Horse' the only thing inside of the horse? Did you edit in the music, and how did you get it on the computer?

I think that's everything. Please answer me when you get a chance.

[Featherwurm]

Thank you very much! Because of the limited spaces in these responses allow me to answer in multiple replies.

[Featherwurm]

It's about the size of the horse in the film, making him about twelve inches long, and about ten inches or so high. There is a little stuffing in the head of the horse to smooth out the features, but appart from that, it is just a fabric covering over the toy. The music was edited ever so slightly with Windows Movie Maker, although all I did was cut the first song short. I just imported music from the two CDs into iTunes and brought it into the Movie Maker. I hope that answers everything!

[Flickerfly]

*GASP* You made a Golden!!! That's fantastic! Good job, very nice! *radiates jealousy*
