My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks/Animated shorts

Coinciding with the release of My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks, Hasbro is also releasing a series of eight animated shorts that, according to show director Jim Miller, are not part of the film but are "tied into it". The shorts were written by Cindy Morrow, Natasha Levinger, Josh Haber and Amy Keating Rogers.

Music to My Ears
Music to My Ears is the first of the eight animated shorts released as a tie-in to My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks, released March 27, 2014. The animation primarily focuses on the human counterpart of DJ Pon-3.

Summary
As DJ Pon-3 is crossing the street, she puts her headphones on and turns on some dubstep music. She starts walking to the music's rhythm, and everything around her moves and is synchronized with the beat, from a crossing guard to the chirping of baby birds to the barking of a dog. During her walk, she passes by the Cutie Mark Crusaders and other Canterlot High students. As DJ Pon-3 enters Sugarcube Corner, everything briefly slows down, and she passes by Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie. At the counter, she buys a cupcake from Mrs. Cake before heading out.

Upon reaching Canterlot High, DJ Pon-3 struts through the hallway. A pair of students joins her, but Cranky Doodle Donkey motions for them to enter his classroom. The school bell rings, and every student except DJ Pon-3 is in class. She's stopped by Principal Celestia, who confiscates her headphones and gestures for her to get to class. As the principal walks away, DJ Pon-3 puts on a spare pair of earbuds, and the music resumes.
