My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks

...Is a 70-minute film released on September 27, 2014, taking place between season 4 and season 5 of Friendship is Magic. It's the second Equestria Girls film, and the first Equestria Girls film that made fans say, "Wait, this human stuff can actually be good‽"

In Rainbow Rocks, the "HuMane Six" (or I guess "HuMane Seven" since Sunset Shimmer's part of the gang now) have to defeat a trio of sirens in a "battle of the bands". Indeed, there's a reason why I like to call this movie Neigh-On!, because not only is that a funny pun, but also, the actual title Rainbow Rocks sounds like a slang term for a drug.

(...Actually, doesn't Uma-Musume also involve humanized cartoon horse-girls performing live music? That's pretty popular nowadays, isn't it? Two nickels...)

"The Cutie Map"

...is season 5's opening two-parter, in which we're introduced to a new plot device: the titular Cutie Map with its iconic glowing ass tats, which will summon the Mane Six to various new locations over the course of the next few seasons.

In this two-parter specifically, the Mane Six are sent to the mysterious {Our Town|(actual name)}, whose Gommunist™ Ruler of Everything, named Starlight Glimmer, is the first non-alicorn pony to serve as the main villain in a two-parter. The Gommunism™ makes Starlight a bit of a difficult character in hindsight — she's definitely a case of "MLP:FiM is best interpreted as having an unreliable narrator".

We actually already have a Blorpmoji of Starlight Glimmer despite not being introduced to her yet. She wears a different hairstyle in this two-parter compared to in that emote, though. I Wonder Why.™
