Depiction in Equestria Girls
My Little Pony Equestria Girls
DJ Pon-3 makes several appearances in My Little Pony Equestria Girls, including hallway cameo appearances, in the cafeteria, and at the Cakes' Sweet Shoppe. In the cafeteria, Applejack removes her glasses during the song Equestria Girls. She later serves as a disc jockey at the Fall Formal. She briefly sings along with the song This is Our Big Night.
Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks
DJ Pon-3 appears again in Rainbow Rocks. In one scene, she listens to music on her headphones in the cafeteria during the Dazzlings' song. She later appears at the Sweet Shoppe strutting to her own music in a similar fashion to Music to My Ears.
After the Dazzlings convince Trixie to trap the Rainbooms under the Mane Event stage, Spike arrives with DJ Pon-3 to rescue them. As Spike explains, DJ Pon-3 had been wearing her headphones throughout, making her immune to the Dazzlings' spell. With the Dazzlings on stage, DJ Pon-3 arrives with her Rockin' Convertible, converting it into a DJ station to provide music and speakers for the Rainbooms to defeat the Dazzlings. She is last seen sitting behind a turntable as Sunset Shimmer writes to Princess Twilight Sparkle . She is never referred to by name, nor does she speak in the film.
Music to My Ears
DJ Pon-3 is the lead role in the musical short Music to My Ears, in which she struts through the city while listening to dubstep on her headphones. She passes by a policeman directing traffic and the Crusaders, and she stops at the Sweet Shoppe to buy something to eat from Mrs. Cake. When she reaches Canterlot High School and dances through the hallways, Principal Celestia stops her and confiscates her headphones. As Celestia walks away, DJ Pon-3 continues listening to music on her earbuds.
Beginning with this short, DJ Pon-3's design is slightly altered; she wears sneakers instead of knee-high boots.
Guitar Centered
In the animated short Guitar Centered, DJ Pon-3 works at a music store and greets the Rainbooms as they enter. After Rainbow Dash wins over Trixie in their shred-off, she presents Rainbow Dash with the double-necked guitar that she and Trixie both coveted.
Pinkie on the One
DJ Pon-3 makes a cameo in the cafeteria scene where Pinkie Pie drums with her silverware.
Shake Your Tail
