History WesternAnimation / RockDog3BattleTheBeat

* TotallyRadical:
** K-9 consists of [[VagueAge pre-teen to young teenage]] girls, and they drop a lot of Gen Z slang. Justified, in this case, because they're also {{phoneaholic teenager}}s and have a large social media presence.
** Played straight, to an extent, when Neon Lyte calls K-9's song "straight-up fire".

* TheBusCameBack: Angus Scattergood returns as a coach/judge in a singing competition show before getting knocked-out and thrown in an open field with [[EasyAmnesia no memory of who he was]]. He spends the rest of the movie trying to figure out what he does for a living by jumping from one occupation after the other.

* EasyAmnesia: A baseball bat to the head knocks Angus Scattergood unconscious, and he later comes to being unable to remember who he was or what he does.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Linnux, Riff and Skozz, Trey, and Khampa's parents/Bodi's grandparents Norbu and Maydow (from the first sequel) do not make an appearance in this movie. Even Frances, a.k.a Lil' Foxy, is likewise absent without explanation despite several instances of ShipTease with Bodi in the last film (apart from a brief cameo in the beginning at the end of the "recap" montage).

''Rock Dog 3: Battle the Beat'' is the 2023[[note]]or 2022 [[ShortRunInPeru if you're in Portugal]][[/note]] DirectToVideo sequel to ''WesternAnimation/RockDog2RockAroundThePark'', and is the third installment overall to the ''WesternAnimation/RockDog'' film series.

Directly following the events of the previous film, after a successful tour with his band, Bodi takes some time off in his home village of Snow Mountain where sheep and wolves continue to peacefully coexist. A local sheep named Hazel takes umbrage at this and waxes nostalgic at the "good ol' days" when wolves and sheep were natural-born enemies. A musical competition airing on television later catches the attention of the locals, much to Bodi's annoyance who calls out the show's formula for being less about the music and more about mean-spirited comments being exchanged by the two coaches, one of whom is Angus Scattergood. And when the latter goes missing by the next episode, and one of the future competitors--a pop music trio called K-9--admit to having no idea who rock legend Angus Scattergood is, Bodi accepts the offer to join the program, in-part to fill-in for his former mentor's absence, but mostly to educate the girls of true rock 'n roll. That is, if he doesn't lose sight of his actual goal...

** '''Bodi'''. Even before the inevitable moment where [[AcquiredSituationalNarcissism he lets the fame go to his head]], he is shown to be very critical of music that isn't rock and roll, and chastises his father and the other villagers for watching a music show, accusing its contestants as only wanting instant fame. He gets worse when he meets up with girl group trio K-9, going so far as to vent to a diary booth that the song they want to sing takes no effort to write or sing. [[spoiler:[[ChekhovsGun It later gets used against him when Lezah shows the girls his entire spiel]].]] While Bodi later apologizes for it and gets better, his behavior (and comments) up until then was still uncalled for.

* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Bodi, [[HereWeGoAgain yet again]], gets a swelled head after his potshots towards fellow judge Neon Lyte is well-received by the audience and is subsequently proclaimed as the new "King of Zing".

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Linnux, Riff and Skozz, Trey, and Khampa's parents/Bodi's grandparents Norbu and Maydow (from the first sequel) do not make an appearance in this movie. Even Frances, a.k.a Lil' Foxy, is likewise absent without explanation despite several instances of ShipTease with Bodi in the last film.
