Small Tidbit of Season Two Animation Spotted (Updated: HD Slow-Mo Version)

EDIT: This has been confirmed by the original uploader in the comments to be a new Hub commercial aired this morning. If anyone has a higher quality link I'll throw it up.

And by small, I mean really small. That frame up there is part of only one of two shots in this commercial that feature the ponies, the other one being Celestia. The IRC guys can't identify the source of this video. Anyone got any clues? It's definitely new animation.

You can find the video here.

The video has been uploaded to Youtube. You can find an embed for that after the break.

Looks like another plushie artist has popped up, bringing us an amazing Fluttershy, and like always, it's on Ebay.

I can only imagine the insane amount it's going to sell for considering it is already at $81 with 6 days left.  I really need to learn how to craft plushie ponies!
