My favourite of the Rainbow Rocks shorts!
Just like the last two shorts this is a music video, but
unlike those this song has no lyrics and focuses on a secondary character firmly
outside the main group. That’s great because
it allows the audience to learn more about the human world and why we should
want to see another film about it. The lack
of lyrics, and dialogue, lets the beat
dictate the story as the visuals match up to it, and it’s great fun to watch. I also love the ironic ending of DJ getting
her headphones taken away and then putting in earbuds instead.
Finally I really like the lack of merchandising push I get
from this short. Since it focuses on a
side character that probably won’t get a lot, if any, doll lines we don’t get a
bunch of gaudy outfits or an ear worm song to help sell the soundtrack. To me it feels like this short exists because
the creators wanted to tell a story in a fun way as opposed to being told to
make something that moves merchandise.
