Monster High: Welcome to Monster High

This is the worst Monster High movie. None of the elements I adore are in this movie. The voice acting for Frankie and Lagoona is too off. The animation is pretty bad and makes me miss the old animation a lot. Even the animated series is better than this. Also, the new girl is so annoying. Honestly you forget she's there half the time. And I hated the new story when they already had an amazing one. However, I did love the animals Draculaura and Clawdeen turned into. Plus, seeing the girls get all the other ghouls around the world was interesting. Monster High: Welcome to Monster High feels like a rip off of such great movies.

It's not the best and it was a little disappointing to see the characters had changed But! I loved Frankie's personality so that change was good and she seems a bit adhd coded in this movie <3 I also thought making draculaura the main character was an ok choice as she is the fan favorite. Also lagoona's design was so cool. As for background designs.... they were pretty subpar in my opinion. Still better movie then what Barbie has been putting out recently.

Trying way too hard to be the book, the show, and Hotel Transylvania. I mean Monster High isn't a dorm school and in the book Drac made monster high against Draculauras wishes. Changed the voices, mannerisms, personalities, outfits, faces, monster powers, and origin stories of characters and left characters out. Like the headless principal? Abbie? Ghoulia? Clawdeen's older brother Clawd and younger sister Howleen? Also like everyone has fangs. What the heck?? Not everyone is a fanged monster. Like deuce. I wish they had just done the book because that one makes the most sense as an origin story, and has my favorite character in it (melody). Also what's with all the pain scenes? Keep smacking them over the head or having them fall down a house.

Not only was the plot line changed and characters erased, but the existing characters' personalities changed as well. Watching this movie, it's very obvious it's a last ditch effort to save their franchise. This barely even relates to the original. Bring old MH back.

Not everyone is a fan of change. So a lot of bad ratings come in. But it is also a reboot, so of course there is going to be a lot in difference. Of course having a 10 year old, I've seen so much of the older Monster Highs. But I like that they give it a new light and story. And it isn't an "old" series. Shows and movies get changed around an awful lot. I loved the graphics better, the voice acting, and storytelling. I was skeptical at first watching it,but I really enjoyed it, by surprise.
