What happens

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks (or simply Rainbow Rocks) is a 2014 animated musical fantasy film directed by Jayson Thiessen and Ishi Rudell, written by Meghan McCarthy, and produced by DHX Media Vancouver for Hasbro Studios. The sequel to My Little Pony: Equestria Girls (2013), it is the second installment in Hasbro's Equestria Girls franchise, which serves as a spin-off to the 2010 relaunch of My Little Pony. Like the first film, Rainbow Rocks re-envisions the main characters of the parent franchise, normally ponies, as teenage humanoid characters in a high school setting. Set between the fourth and fifth seasons of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, the film's plot involves Twilight Sparkle returning to Canterlot High School in the parallel world to compete in a Battle of the Bands alongside the counterparts of her friends – including former school bully and former student of Princess Celestia, Sunset Shimmer – to save the school from a trio of sirens from Equestria. My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks premiered in select theaters across the United States and Canada on September 27, 2014, which was followed by broadcast on Discovery Family (a joint venture between Discovery, Inc. and Hasbro) on October 17, and a home media release by Shout! Factory on October 28. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who considered it "far superior" to the first film. The film was followed by two sequels, Friendship Games (2015) and Legend of Everfree (2016). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
