Only this time, it is a magical pony who travels to the human world to help solve her human counterparts problems. In an interesting reflection of the original 1986 MY LITTLE PONY cartoon, Twilight Sparkle takes on the "friend from another world" role that Megan had in that series. Also unaffected is a reformed Sunset Shimmer, the antagonist from the previous movie. Only the 5 main characters, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and AppleJack are unaffected by the spell due to their contact with Equestrian magic. Their sinister songs bring out bitter rivalries between the bands, negative emotions which the girls seem to feed on and grow more powerful. As Canterlot High prepares for its annual talent showcase, three mysterious girls with mind controlling voices turn the showcase into a "Battle of the Bands". And what we have is a decent musical movie that works around music to deliver the morals and themes that the franchise should have from the get go. RAINBOW ROCKS takes a dive off the deep end and make the music the central driving force behind the whole plot. Instead of that we get unnecessary musical numbers. Next is the tons of wasted potential to tell a much deeper or more mature story that one couldn't show in the regular MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC series. In the last movie, instead of showing Twilight winning over the hearts and minds of her school mates through her honesty, sincerity and helpfulness, she wins them over through the magic of song and dance. First was the shallow theme that fantastic musical talent wins you friends. There were two things I did not like about the previous "EQUESTRIA GIRLS" movie.
