Maybe her talent's construction. Might explain Hammer-Kun.

Either that or she stole the Fix-it Felix's magic hammer.

They showed Snips and Snails helping her, but those two could eff up boiling water.

YMMV, but I thought their rapping bit was hilarious. And Principle Celestia's deadpan "Please don't drop the microphone."

Today's the day. No more having to put up with crappy cell phone rips or the severely-edited Hub Discovery Family version.

Not when I checked a half hour ago. I'm impatient.

Saw it. It does seem to be an improvement on the original in nearly every way.
Some of the themes and subtext seem to direct responses to certain fandom complaints about the previous movie, and about later seasons of FIM. First of all, there was the complaint that EQG relies too heavily on the Ponyverse rather than being its own, independent thing. So what happens here? The humane six send a cry for help to Twilight, because they themselves think they can't solve the problem without her. Second, there's the complaint about Twilight getting singled out and separated from her friends in Megan McCarthy's plot-heavy episodes. So here, Twilight becomes convinced that she has to save the day all by herself, and it's her job alone to write the musical counter-spell. She even considers asking Sunset for help, but decides not to.
Then the ending yanks the rug from underneath both of those. The humane six save the day almost completely without Twilight. Sunset has the epiphany that sets everyone else on the right path, and her singing voice is the one that overwhelms the sirens and completes the magic friendship laser rainbow. The rest of The Rainbooms create the counter-spell. Twilight's role in all this? Realizing that she doesn't have to save the day herself, and using her personal influence to convince the others that Sunset's epiphany is right.
I'm pretty sure that wasn't all intentional on the writers' part, but it's interesting all the same.

The impression I got from spoilers is that the Humane FIve are still pretty useless/hapless and still needed an someone to save the day. . .and their friendship. Just replace Twilight with Sunset.
