**Trix the Musical** is the 2rd short in the Trix Toons series.

## Plot

This short is about Missy, Sandra, Stan, and even Chip the Wolf from the Cookie Crisp commercials is seen practicing fora Battle of the Bands-like competition that is about to happen that evening in downtown Rabbotropolis, and they are heavily struggling to find a guitarist as well as practice, and Chip, who originally was their guitarist, abandons them.

Pretty soon they see the Silly Rabbit, an extremely notorious and famous rockstar who mysteriously disappeared after a while according to Missy, and according to him, his career got ruined by a fellow guitarist named Strauss Von Hindenburg who composed the ultimate guitar solo, and at first is hesitant to join them but then is convinced by Missy after explaining that he was part of a jam once. (Possibly not understanding what she just said.)

The whole time this is all happening, Tibar and Bob, his assistant, are plotting to defeat them and win Battle of the Bands again this year, like they always do every year according to Bob.

The new band practices and they think of all of their props, makeup, and stage presence instead of the music but create quite a show when they practice in their garage through a song sequence.

Pretty soon, nighttime falls and the Battle of the Bands is happening in the middle of the city, and as the band is preparing for their big spotlight coming up, and they call them selves, “Trix”. However, Tibar and Bob attempt to sabotage the whole performance by replacing their Rockstar makeup with clown make up, replacing the spotlights with flashlights, and attempting to give the Silly Rabbit Super Sour Lemonade which apparently can render a person unable to speak when drank. Bob is instructed by Tibar to give it to him, and he attempts to do so but he gives him the blue cup which contains normal lemonade instead and failing at sabotoging his voice. When Tibar gets annoyed and tries to intervene, he himself ends up drinking the red cup containing the Super Sour Lemonade instead, which causes his mouth to be forced shut within the nanosecond it reaches his mouth.

Once it’s time to go on, the rabbit learns that the show has been sabotaged and he tries to give up at first but then he convinced by Stan that it’s always been about the music regardless on what their stage presence is. So they continue on anyways and they don’t care about any of the stuff that Tibar and Bob did and just continue on to bring the audience what really matters and end up winning Battle of the Bands, with Tibar being pushed on stage and still unable to speak from the lemonade.

## Trivia

* This is the only short where Tibar's existence is seemingly unknown to the main characters.
* This is the first short where Stan is everyone's friend.
* This is the only short where the character's outfits are almost not entirely changed based on the theme of the short. (With some exceptions.)
* This is Stan's first speaking role.
* This is the first time they had cross-promoted other mascots of the other cereals. (Chip the Wolf from the Cookie Crisp cereal and commercials, as well as Lucky from Lucky Charms.)
* This is the only short to not feature too much of a theme, indicating this may be the, "Normal" universe.
* Since this takes place in a suburb, and a lot of the characters don't seem to be very adult enough for them to live on their own (except possibly Tibar), let alone be able to join a giant band competition. Therefore, it is unkown who owns all of the houses, and/or who lives in them.
* The animations of the crowd dancing is re-used from The Trixters but as silhouettes instead.
* This is the only short to not have a swirl as a transition or a visible element.

## Goofs

* Even though according to all of the other band members in Trix, they don't have any makeup or props. Yet during the song sequence they clearly have paints, wigs, spotlights, and pretty much all of the props you need.
* This is Rabbittropolis, but yet a lot of the mascots of the other cereals seem to appear in it.
* Even though the lights and makeup are sabotaged, they seem to already have very good lighting anyway, and the make up does not seem to be any different than their Rockstar makeup.
* Lemonade does not force your mouth shut no matter what level of sourness it is. There could be a possible chance it contains some other substance in it instead however.
* It is unknown how they got on top of the giant trophy as it is not seen emerging or them getting on it in any way.
* It is unkown how The Silly Rabbit is able to play Strauss Von Hindenburg's guitar solo with all of the techniques he is using, as you would not be able to physically use those to play the guitar.
