Music rules and rainbows rock as Twilight Sparkle and pals compete for the top spot in the Canterlot High "Mane Event" talent show. The girls must rock their way to the top, and outshine rival Adagio Dazzle and her band The Dazzlings, to restore harmony back to Canterlot High.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rebecca Shoichet sings for both Twilight AND Sunset Shimmer, meaning she's technically duetting with herself in 'Welcome to the Show'.
This film accidentally invented a better High School Musical sequel than Disney ever managed, and Brony fandom's collective grip on pop culture terrified executives for years.
