Applejack versus the Flim Flam brothers.
No it’s not ‘The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000’ episode it’s
one the shorts of each girl and her instrument in the lead up to the film Rainbow Rocks. After Granny Smith sells Applejack’s bass at
their yard sale to the brothers by accident she had to get it back by proving
that it’s hers. She does this by rocking
out on said bass and ponying up in the process.
Why playing music causes them to pony up is never going to be
explained it’s just an excuse to sell
more merchandise by having the girls do activities their pony counterparts can’t
or don’t do while looking so what like the design the audience is used to.
That doesn’t make this short bad just unengaging for me. The best part by far was the ending where
Applejack had to promote the Flim Flam brother’s store in a banana costume
while playing her bass. It’s a nice bit
of humour and shows the bothers at their best by letting her have the bass back,
but getting something for themselves in the deal.
So after all it’s not bad just meh and certainly not one of
my favourites of these shorts.
