I think I liked the first film of this reboot more. Still watchable, but not as good as the original franchise.

So I'll start with the good which is far and few in between. The plot was a nice idea, Raythe is an interesting new character, it had SOME of the the original voice actors and the animation style is smooth as well as pleasant to look at but everything else made this movie Tank! While I said the plot was good, the execution? Less so. There were so many needless shots with simple reactions where the character goes uh-huh or just makes a simple expression. It feels like they took a half-hour long episode of a show design for tv and try to stretch it as far as they could do it could qualify for a movie. Now on to the animation. Every kids show seems to fall into these issues of same face but Monster High was the one to challenge this! It was loved for the height, body and facial differences! Now it's just falling into line and if it continues to do so I'm afraid it's going to fall out of fashion like it's predecessors Bratz. All other movies up until this one and Welcome to Monster High were amazing! They really showed what stories were capable of when you have such crazy creatures that live way past the life span of a human! Compared to Barbie the stories are actually believable! In a world where zombies and yetis go to school together, one can believe that there is also a school exclusively for ghosts! Why they have to try and turn these amazing situations into the usual weekly adventure to save a monster or save the normies is absurd. Speaking of the normies the villain's whole plan was just to harass them, not even something truly evil like make them live in the shadows and fade away from monster society or even just enslave them! Finally I have to dock points for all of the characters missing from the original animated series; Ghoulia, Toralei, Gil, Clawd, Howleen, Heath, Slo Mo, etc.. Also I'll be docking points for the stupidity that was Znap, a awful combination of Minions and Bibble from the Barbie Fairytopia series, his one redeeming quality was that terrifying angry face that told you how you died. Over all it was just a bad movie that only contains one good meme.

Monster High: Electrified is another not special, non-original movie. The animation was just as bad along with story and voice acting. They seemed to just rush on this considering how the story goes. The bad girl is barely in the movie and her motive is ridiculous. Even the side plot wasn't great with the band. Just another step down for the franchise.

The recent Monster High films are very underwhelming. Before I come off as a full on hater, I'll start with some things I did like about these two movies. The animation and models improved a lot. Especially the faces are really beautiful now, shout-out to Clawdeen, Lagoona and Ari. Then again, it gives off a very 'doll-y' vibe. I know these are basically dolls, but it's not really pleasing to watch. If anything it reminds me of stuff like Peter Lord's Chicken Run. Some of the voice actors got replaced and I have to admit I prefer Draculaura speaking in a lower voice. The music is still good too I really liked Tash' song, but 'Me and my Amigos' was also really nice. That's about it for the positive notes. Except for that I'm screaming over the fact they changed the canon. Monster High was about Frankie, a 16 days old girl, being the newbie at school and learning how hard it is to be accepted. As this is targeted at a young audience, the character didn't have a lot of character development already, but these films stripped them off of the little unique quirks they had. Frankie is not the new girl. She's also older than she original was and suddenly there's not such thing as the Monster world, but just Monsters hiding from humans in our world. The new canon focuses on bridging the gap between Monsters and humans, rather than Monsters and Monsters. And every time there's Monica making a mess and Frankie saving the day. In this canon Monster High isn't a school that exists for 100's of years, but it's built by freaking Draculaura and Frankie. I'm also disturbed by the amount of characters that got cut out, most notably Abbey and Ghoulia. They basically changed everything. From the way the school came to exist, to how everyone meets each other. In this movie Frankie meets Twyla after she (or one of her friends, can't remember) steps on her leg. In this universe Twyla isn't friends with Howleen. Another thing that truly disturbed me were the designs. I don't like how Frankie looks, but that's not the worst. The freaking haircuts in electrified were a sin. I must admit they look okayish as dolls, but wtf Frankie. Just wtf.

Everyone hates the movie but i really liked it aside from the change in canon i mean sure ik frankie didnt make the school but thats only relevant in the very beginning of the movie and it didnt make the plot less enjoyable i like the first canon better but the change doesnt make me hate the movie i wish some original ghouls were in it that we missed but i really enjoyed watching it like i never followed the monster high universe but im always down to see new teams working on productions and whatnot i think y'all are too serious about it, and i can see the effort that the people put into it!! i had fun watching it because it reminded me of how the characters were when i first met them (like 2009) and now

I literally have watched every monster high movie, and this one as well has "welcome to monster high" (came out in 2015) were completely AWFUL. First of all, apparently Draculaura met Frankie before Clawdeen, which makes no sense since the first movie says they were best friends before Frankie moved to monster high. Then it says that Draculaura and Frankie built monster high, and "saved" all the monsters by introducing them to monster high. Also you can tell that some of the actors who originally voiced the characters were replaced (Frankie, Cleo and Lagoona are all I noticed). For some reason, spectra is now British. Abby, Heath, Toralei, Ghoulia, Clawd, Gil and Howleen are NO WHERE to be found. Not sure why the werewolf characters turn into wolves, something they never did before. Also noticed that basically all the characters have fangs, including Deuce and the zombies! Plus, Cleo and Deuce aren't together and neither are Lagoona and Gil!! I will not be watching this movie again.
