Space Stallions is a 2012 Bachelor film project from Denmark’s The Animation Workshop. And it’s great!
Created by students Thorvaldur S. Gunnarsson, Jonatan Brüsch, Ágúst Kristinsson, Arna Snæbjørnsdottir, Esben J. Jespersen, Touraj Khosravi, and Polina Bokhan, it’s an ode to sci-fi cartoons from the 80’s.
I’ve posted it here primarily because I think it’s amusing and a fine waste of four minutes. But it does, inadvertently I’m sure, feature some Tarot imagery as well.
Most obviously, the four main characters Optica, Ion-Ray, Sun-Ray and X-Ray represent exactly the same energies as the Knights in the Tarot deck do.
Each are young, eager, powerful, and working together to master their elements. They’d do very well as the Knights of Cups, Swords, Wands, and Pentacles.
And with the Empress energy of the Mother Mustang on their side, they’re sure to overcome the Devil nature of Destructo, and get that poor guy off the terrifying Wheel of Fortune.
Take a look for yourself. And enjoy the Space Stallions song, it’s really catchy.
