Monster High also teaches children to accept others for who they are. Freaky flaws and all!
Exactly.
It helped my child who is autistic feel more sure of themselves.
The girl monsters were our friends.
@@88evileve88 I'm autistic too.
exactly like so what if there a little more bold and sassy , there clawsome! (pun intended)
i loved the hybrids since i’m a mixed kid!!
yeah but weirdly all their bodies and faces look almost exactly the same as each other. like, they could at least have done some girls with fat bodies or missing limbs. dunno
The problem was Mattel tried to fix what wasn't broken.
True.
@@goodbyeg374 What?
I agree
Facts, these companies and their decisions
Exactly and same with winx
Once again, parents ruin everything.

monster high taught me and my friends to love ourselves for our individuality. this show, these dolls, these movies helped everyone who felt ugly, different or even just scared of their sexuality/gender identity to embrace themselves. it’s such a shame to see it all plummet
👏👏
This. Is right here
Exactly. They were diverse and positive without anyone having to pressure them. So what they were abnormally skinny, they weren’t human! They made me feel good about myself, not negative. I loved how each character had their own personality and design. Sure I wouldn’t watch them now, but I loved them as a little kid.
Lol I grew up on Anime, which taught me a even better lesson, to always improve myself and never settle for what I currently am. >.>
👍👍
such a shame. i loved Monster high . but the reboot ruined everything
I agree
True. I stopped it, around middle school. :( And didn’t come back to around 18/19, as a hyper-fixation. :(
I wish they would just commit to the original style. If they made mh originally like the reboot it would be fine. But I like mh for what it was
I agree i hate the new ones.
*Period.*
if you’re a parent and don’t like a toy, don’t buy it for your kid. don’t ruin it for everyone else.
And it was targeted towards tweens not dam newborns

'13 wishes' is unironically a good movie. oh, and 'why do ghouls fall in love?' is my guilty pleasure.
13 Wishes will forever be one of my favourite movies in the franchise, because of the nod to EAH with Gigi and Wisp having their own Fairytale with influence from Giles Grimm. I rewatched it not too long ago, and my jaw dropped by how I missed that when I was a kid.
I remember when i watched that like 0-0
Friday night frights is my favorite because I love to rollerblade along with Frights Camera Action for the cinematic elements
13 wishes is my fav
Everybody keeps forgetting “frights,camera,action” and “Scaris”
I am confused, how is a doll being skinny, scary to a kid?
If they don’t like dolls, then don’t buy them.
I can't think of a good name
But like- theyre M O N S T E R S
They aren't really meant to be scary though. Them being monsters is meant to make them unique. A lot of people I know don't think that they are scary, and those who have were too young to really have an opinion at the time and where mostly just told by their parents that the dolls would be too scary for them. The dolls where all about expressing what makes a person unique and about accepting your flaws and liking yourself for who you are. They were monsters so that they could take on any design and look really different from each other. I can see where parents were worried, though. The idea does sound a bit worrisome, but I think that if people look more into the dolls, and especially into the webisodes and movies, they will realize that it is actually a very nice doll line.
I can't think of a good name
Good pointS
Fun thing I've learned from working retail, there's a _lot_ of people that think the world should bend to them and will not stop throwing a fit until you give in.
I've had people threaten to call the cops on me because I won't serve them a minute til close. I've been threatened with legal action because the store I worked for didn't have the specific item they wanted. I've been shouted at and blamed because the customer ordered pick up on the wrong day and they needed it *TODAY* (not _tomorrow_ or _Sunday_ I need it TO - _DAY_ ~stomps foot~).
These people literally cannot conceive of the fact that the world doesn't revolve around them and can't take accountability for their own thoughts or actions.

Karens : Monster High dolls had breasts, what a tragedy!
Barbie : *let me introduce myself*
ONG! like karen, weren't you talking about body positivity? What happened to that with the breasts because last time i checked almost everyone got them, big or small....
@@stxrkilla "ong"
Do Karen's really think cartoon girls in high school shouldn't have breasts.
Rozziye Monster High is about accepting yourself for you are, and self love. Barbie dolls are like “yeah, I went to the moon! Dad sent me to the moon!” Luther energy, and the old ones are like really really skinny giving off anorexic vibes
monster high is coming back to release 2 new dolls! If we hype them enough they may even bring the series back

Well its a shame they can't digest good stuff....
@@kittykittybangbang9367They disagree about what exactly
Lol yeah
How many people remember when Monster High dolls had limbs that came off and popped back on? i really miss those. and they used to make every little detail prominent but now they don't even paint Frankie's stitches...

Valerie Villazon yes!! :D
Valerie Villazon me too :(
bruh they murdered our childhood
Damn Karen Nation. Attacking everything that brings joy...
The adults are probably the ones who will want it more than the kids.
I always thought it was so cool how Ghoulia, the "nerd", was best friends with the popular girl Cleo, because that's something that almost never happens in series like this
Usually the nerd character gets treated differently for being weird, but almost everyone likes her in the series, and as someone who related to Ghoulia it always made me so happy
To be fair on that one ghoulia was often treated like a slave by Cleo 😓😓 it was nice that people cared what ghoulia had to say though and that was much needed
monster high was my whole aesthetic, like i used to be the try hard "not like other girls" girls and so instead of barbie, i found monster high and used that to prove i was "different" (lmfao) but even tho i changed monster high will still have a place in my heart
Same! Its embarrassing now
There's nothing wrong with being different
@@tidepodpadthai2633 ur right but my point is, i was being different not necessarily bc i wanted to be, but bc i wanted to look down on other ppl and seem better than them which is not right
@@lacrimosa5213 this is your lore lol
Don’t feel bad - the not like other girls phenomenon is a direct result of internalized sexism. Our society looks down on women so much, it it any wonder girls didn’t want to be viewed like that and be seen as different?
Disney killed Monster High and Ever After High basically.
What? No! Look up on yt about Monster high cancelling.
I mean Disney definitely ripped off and killed EAH but Mattel killed MH themselves. Listening to a few ultraconservative parents was stupid when at the end of the day kids are (mostly) the ones asking for toys. Change the concept to please the parents and kids won’t like it anymore, and they’ll never ask their parents to buy them
Descendants killed ever after high but tbh descendants is waaay more childish than eah.
Star Wish idk I kinda like descendants more than ever after high
Foxy The Gachatuber I just think descendants live acting, dance numbers, and overall story is just too cringe. I preferred EAH's animated shows and movies also EAH's character designs(especially the boys) look way better than descendants.
When I heard that motherfucking howl, the memories literally came back
ikr i cri ;-;
Ikr lol
I would actually pretend to be a werewolf and go outside and howl
Fun (and embarrassing) times...

Oh c'mon KAREN THEY ARE MONSTERS LIKE ‘their too SKINNY’ oh ok KAREN THEY ARE MONSTERS NOT HUMAN FRANKIE WAS MADE BY A SCIENTIST GHOULIA IS FREAKING ZOMBIE WHAT U EXPECT
Eh, that’s a weak argument. If anything there’s even less of an excuse to be so skinny, it’s never wrong to push against the beauty standards. I say this as someone who loves MH btw so don’t try me.
frankenstein was the scientist.
@@literallygaston2489 i hope you are joking because 1 if something dies al the water evaporates that makes the corpse so skinny that you can see the bones 2 the characters are are skinny and beautiful because people like looking at beautiful girls more than a flat chested man looking girls and 3 beauty standards🙄 i am a boy and every man or boy i see in fiction is either masculine or beatiful and you here not me whining.
@@yahyeali6388 thank you like do they think we care about this shit???
Exactly literally every other doll is like that? Why don't they complain about barbie or winx. OR LITERALLY ANY OTHER DOLL COMPANY. Maybe instead of blaming dolls, they should learn how to be a good parent and teach their children self love.
Everyone was happy until they made all the characters look like barbie ripoffs.
not really
Except for the Karens!
kill Karen’s :)
@@crayola6586 the fans were happy
Shame how far it's fallen. I remember begging my mom to buy me a Monster High doll as a kid, and eventually she did. Ah, Operetta. You were the start of my crippling addiction to theater.
OMG same my first doll was Operetta as well and it makes sense bc my favorite movie is Phantom of the Opera
My first doll was also Operetta my best friend got it for me for my birthday when I was like 10 😂
Operetta was amazing in design
OMG SAME.
My first and only MH doll was Rochelle Goyle, who was promptly destroyed by my sister.
If parents hated the clothes on monster high, they're going to hate Winx lol
Omg yeah
My parents wouldn't let me watch winx😂
My parents didnt care what I watched lmao
Omg yes XD
Omg I used to love Winx XD
So I've seen those terrible reboot dolls of Frankie, Draculaura, Clawdeen, Lagoona, maybe Cleo(I don't remember) but ABSOLUTELY NONE for Ghoulia. So in what I've seen, they just completely left Ghoulia alone, which may be for the better cause let's be honest, no one wants to see any of their favorite dolls rebooted. And now that Monster High dolls have been rebooted(it's even hard to find the reboots now) I wish that I had taken better care of my Monster High dolls.
Same... I had a River Styks doll at some point, and a Ghouls Rule Draculaura; but I have no idea what I did with them or why I got rid of them...
I had a massive collection of monster high dolls, I would ask for one each year for my birthday. I gave away my collection to a little girl who lives next door and whilst I’m glad I did because she enjoyed them, I really wish I still had them, especially since the quality of the dolls has gone downhill :(
Wait there's no Ghoulia!!? That saddens me so much cuz I liked her a lot :((
plenty of the characters were just deleted in the reboot, ghoulia included. Also Clawdeen's entire honestly super interesting family was erased and boiled down to like 20 little puppies.
god i miss mines i remember i gaved them to my 6 years old cousin and one of my mom friends kid, my cousin taked care for them and the 9 yrs kid taked off the the legs and arms from my fav clawdeen :(
My parents actually really loved the dolls designs they said that the designs(old) were unique! Monster High is literally taught me to just be myself no matter how different I am. I am just sad nothing is going on with MH.
Same!My moms fav was ghoulia because of her nerdy style
So basically you’re saying parents ruin everything. Agreed.
Correct.
Rosie yep
well... they ruined me
The reason why a certain Disney ride got replaced was because parents were ignoring all the warnings of it being too scary. So yea.
I agree
The oversensitive parent ruined monster high.
Damn that Karen
My mom didn’t let me like monster high-
Meowmix49 Aj uwu ima princess, well now you have a hazbin profile pic, she can let sink in.
i know right :((( i’ve actually heard some parents say that they are “scary” and “not christian” -_-
their kids didn’t think so.
Yes they did. I wish they stayed the same and we could've seen what turns the brand would take.
Tbh Monster High dolls even though yes, they had skinny waists, they still had like more ~shape~ to them compared to the Barbie dolls at the time. So it made me feel less of that 'skinny pressure' as a kid.
I was like "Omg her legs are similar to mine. Like she has prominent calves so that means my big calves are okay too!"
I really just think it was just a bit ahead of it's time, but of course parents had to ruin that 😭😭😭😔
i didnt even notice there skinny waists and slim firgure, they were good quality dolls
They were literal monsters though like make it make sense
as someone who has suffered with eating problems from a young age, monster high never made me feel bad about myself. i always viewed it as "oh they are dead so they're more boney" as a kid and i honestly have no idea where the moms upset about them got their ideas from
"This is a monster high doll"
No that ain't it

crackhead carlos omg yESSSS
that doll legit looks like a low-cost pirate version, and it's more expensive than the original ones
Everything basically falls apart because Mattel only cares about money.
It's unfortunate, but they do have a lot of employees to pay
Unfortunately, a lot of loved companies do eventually turn to the money greedy phase and go from quality to..meh. Such as ROBLOX. If you're an older player, I'd say from
Trash Kai that’s capitalism for ya..........Bernie 2020
They’re basically milking Barbie dry
MOOSELINI
What does politics have anything to do with a doll reboot of a money hungry company?
Fun fact:Frankie's voice actor Kate Higgins voiced sakura in Naruto
huh I didn't know that
@@kageyamasmilkcarton5098 well now ya know :>
I didn't know that either! Though I did realize that her voice is the same in that Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse show xD
I knew her voice sounded familiar! No wonder they were my favourite characters
And Laura Bailey is one of them. Lol they came after my time so I don’t really remember her name. Lagoona, maybe? That sounds right.
I was so upset when they rebooted Monster High and completely nerfed my favorite character (Lagoona) into some weakling with zero confidence/self esteem. Not to mention how terrible they made every other character...ugh. Then there were the actual designs (visually) that were just too jarring, I loved the original art! To lose EAH to Descendants (which IMO is just not the same quality, sorry Disney) after that hurt so much. I really enjoyed both and I'm bummed what Mattel did to these lines. I'm still looking for an original Lagoona doll that I like but everyone seems to be selling the "new improved" doll only -- probably because the original dolls were so much better. These shows will forever live in my memories!
In the previous Monster High, Lagoona was replaced by Abbey as one of the main five, but in the reboot, she's back!!
And in the reboot, Lagoona is much prettier.
The original Monster High dolls were so unique back when I was little and that’s why I loved them so much. I couldn’t care less about the whole “oh, they’re too skinny,” etc. because I was a heccin’ child, I didn’t think about their body type, I just thought the dolls were fun and I liked dressing them up. The original dolls were so detailed and they had JOINTS. I repeat, they had J O I N T S
Why did they take EVERYTHING that made Monster High dolls so unique and fun, and completely ruin it in the reboot?
Mhmm. I said what I said.
And don’t even get me started on the parents. Parents ruin everything, I’m sorry. There was nothing wrong with how the dolls looked. If that was the case, so many children wouldn’t have loved these dolls as much as they did.
As someone who never cared much for dolls, the movies were the main selling point for me. Sure, looking back now they were a bit cheesy, but I loved them regardless and I still do. The art style was so distinctive and unique. Little tiny me low-key loved the gothic vibe they had. And the character designs were GORGEOUS (especially my girl Robecca. She was just perfect.) The main reason the reboots pissed me off wasn’t because of the new art style (mind you I was slightly annoyed by the change). It was because they got rid of almost all of the OG cast. The cast the old movies spent AGES building! Look, I actually have a list of casualties.

I remember being able to take their limbs off, such as arms and legs, and sometimes losing the pieces. Monster High dolls and Ever After High dolls were the only ones able to do that, and that's what made them unique and special.
My daughter was so disappointed when they stopped making them with articulated joints. That is when she stopped buying them.
Exactly me and my mom loved MH and I was around 5 or 6 when I started getting them and it never crossed my mind that they were ‘’ too skinny” or “ unrealistic” because they were dolls. I also loved how articulated they were too unlike barbie
I was pumped about the joints (had that werewolf girl) because it was the only doll I had with joints (other than a Barbie that my dog stole and destroyed)
I feel like if they didn’t reboot Monster high it would’ve still be around today
I agree and I'd they continued to produce webisodes with good story lines.
@@serenatsukino5252 i read an article in 2014 that they are going to end monster high after 2016 but it didn't end they just rebooted
sj Animates I was a your 1k like lol
sj Animates exactly 😔
I think it was the loss in money that caused MH to end, but yeah, people didn’t want a reboot anyway...
As someone who struggled with body issues my entire life, I never once felt like a toy contributed to that.
The adults, though, contributed way more than they realized.
The adults calling things I just found pretty and made me happy “slutty” and “floozy” was not helpful for my self image yeah. 😢
I loved how diverse the dolls were... they weren't insanely expensive, they were gorgeous, and looking through all my old dolls makes me realize how much I miss walking into a store to casually buy one.
Parents need to realize that while yes these dolls are meant for kids, the characters are teenagers. They’re going to dress like teenagers, not preschoolers.
*P R E A C H*
Is it wrong if i agree
Honestly I’m a parent and I watch monster high with my 5 year old all the time and it never even occurred to me lol I guess that’s a big perk of being a young parent. I’m unbothered 😂
Ok let say it

They don’t even paint Frankies stitches or bolts anymore??? Wack
They literally said: lol do it urself

This series was my childhood. My favorites were the Halloween movie and Draculara's sweet 1600th (The one with Valentine. I think that's his name -3-)
I have the car and I still love it
Yep. He was called Valentine. That was also the movie with CA Cupid: who transferred to Ever After High while that series was still running. I remember Torelai’s crossbow rampage VERY clearly lmao
Parents complained “the dolls were too skinny”
Me: Yeah, the dolls are monsters, they’re skinny because they are DECAYED!!
Oh, yeah, sure (!) I mean, it’s not like the main character is a reanimated CORPSE or anything (!) Or the fact that they had an actual ZOMBIE as a main character (!) No, these girls are all perfectly human (!) Just ignore the British girl, she’s just a dead teen reanimated as a Steampunk robot by her inventor father.
Edit: Holy Hell where did all these likes come from?
Not all monster's are dead though but now that I think about of a lot of them were undead though. Cleo, Franki, Draculaura, Ghoulia just to name few
@@Cheetahgirl_Studios u mean Robecca Steam?
@Ana Paula Yeah. Ok, she wasn’t reanimated by her father as a Steampunk robot. But I was just making a point. Plus, looking back now, I actually have a theory that maybe Hebediah made Robecca to replace his actual teenage daughter, who died from unknown circumstances. IDK, I just think it’s dumb that parents complained about monsters not being realistic.
Cheetahgirl Studios thats sad-
Honestly, I think Mattel just screwed Monster High and Ever After over with Enchantimals. We need to make a petition to bring back Ever After and Monster High! Why did they have to STOP those 2 franchises to replace with the STUPID Enchantimals? If Karens are complaining, then they should have their kids watch the bland, no plot, 10 IQ character show known as Enchantimals instead of the glory that is Monster High and Ever After :I
Yeah uh ya know Disney-
Descendants (it’s a Disney movie) IT RIPPED OFF EVER AFTER HIGH- Mattel was probably like “yeah no we’re not competing with Disney-“
I love descendants but I do miss ever after high .-.
The reason why Ever After ended is because it was ripped off, Descendants. Hasbro knew they couldn’t compete with Disney so they ended the series.
Monster High became unpopular after they changed it for the parents, and EAH couldn't compete with Descendants, especially after Disney moved their toy manufacturing to Hasbro (originally, Mattel made their toys). First Mattel was with Disney, but when they were suddenly a competing company, there was no way for EAH to keep up. Especially since Decendants did a lot of the same marketing to compete with it directly. It's kinda sad.
I can't think of a good name. I misread it as “monster high became popular after the change” and I was ready to fight you.
monster high is coming back to release 2 new dolls! If we hype them enough they may even bring the series back
I liked Abbey, and wished she had her own story. She seemed like a very interesting, but underused character. My favorite designs were Spectra and Venus
My favorite character was Howleen Wolf, Clawdeen's little sister. She had that "stuck in my older sibling(s)'s shadow" thing going on that I could relate to, and I loved her attitude honestly. My favorite design though has to be Cleo/Nefera Denile. I loved the mummy styles and their faces were fantastic, I adored it.
"Their faces were too scary"
Um
They're monsters
I know right their not BARBIES
now I'm thinking of that person that appeared on Ponder spocket's Adventures in critiquing series who said "it is illegal to scare the childrens"
K but they weren't even scary enough to be called that either XD
How are they scary tho their adorable

It’s so sad how much the dolls have downgraded over the years. I LOVED these dolls as a kid! I remember getting my first doll (a lagoona blue) and being so happy to finally have one. My favourite doll that I had was my Gigi grant who I got for Christmas in 2014. I remember taking her everywhere I went and playing with her constantly. While I no longer have my dolls as I eventually grew out of them and gave them away I still have very fond memories of my days spent playing with them and making up stories. This was also definitely the start of my crippling addiction to horror.
My first one was a frankie stein
Yo my first monster high doll was cleo dawn of the dance :)
I had a whole collection of them and I got rid of them as a preteen thinking they were dumb but now I realize how valuable and how much I miss it . I never thought They’d change
The new monster high *SUCKS* , I was so sad when the new "style" came out, honestly the old monster high was so good N the history/story of the school itself was soo interesting, the new "monster high" *killed* everything. And the new dolls also suck, im glad I have the old ones.
It’s more like a kid friendly show now

Yea. I remember when I was younger I watched the show and always wanted the dolls but my parents thought they were too scary and found them ugly 😔
EXACTLYYY LIKE I HAD A WHOLE BOX FILLED WITH THEM!!! and I also had their movies and the big ass school they sold. its shame that they went down hill
I had a Frankie doll (I think) and I like the fashion style.
Do u still have them
Rhea Chand yes i still have all of them in boxes! still look at them from time to time
These dolls taught me that everyone is unique, and not to be afraid of being myself.

No seriously so many toys I wasn’t allowed to play with because my mom thought they were “bad influences”.
@Mynti Girl Same! When monster high first came out I wasn't even allowed to watch it or have the dolls
It's called "Monster High" for a reason it's about finding yourself in High School... Reason why their backstories were like that. Parents need to mind their own business this is great quality TV clearly they don't understand kids and teenagers.
They stupid basically
Do you want your kid to grow up wanting to wear fish nets, high heels, and more? I hate the humour of this show, and the execution. But I agree with the parents. It’s their kid mind your own business.
@@kayleelomas5598 The thing is... You're presenting discrimination. The things they wear, how they act, and what journeys they have gone through in the show allows character development even if they arent real they have real genuine teenage emotions like us as the season progressed they changed. All that is just horrible bias towards them and telling others what they can and can't express about WHO THEY ARE. You can agree on your opinion, but I cannot agree that parents should control who, what, and how we are... We make that decision. This is a teenage audience... I may have said "kids", but its not even directed towards 12 and under if you actually watch it. 💯
Quincy I have watched it along with ever after high, and if you look at the comment section the magority of the people watching are children. You kinda just said that you liked the show because they express themselves through their fashion, and although that’s perfectly fine for the teenage audience for the children watching they might start wanting to wear those sort of stuff and the parents might find it in appropriate. So if they want to bring their concerns to the show makers, then they should be allowed to do that without being shamed.
@@kayleelomas5598 Right. Therefore they cancelled the show just because of that. They shouldn't have. I implied that the parents had bias' towards them and how they did things which got reported in how they judged the show. Yes if I had children watching it thats another story being that at the age they understand modern day they should be Open about things discussed on the show instead of hiding them. Awareness is what I'm implying but I totally agree. 100%

2000s dolls were the best. People absolutely ruined them with all their judgement. saying that kids will have body dysmorphia (or other body image problems) looking at Barbies, monster high dolls etc.. was always ridiculous to me as a kid (and still is now). Dolls don’t need to portray the human body 100% realistically they’re... dolls. As a kid I would never compare myself to a doll are you kidding me. Yes they were pretty but i obviously knew it was supposed to be unrealistic. And every kid I have ever asked has answered the exactly the same. But Anyways it’s just very sad, I hope they can go back with their original/older designs. ❤️
Monster High didn't need a reboot. The initial series was fine. Even though the reboot tried to focus on the plot from the books.
The reboot rewrote the lore of how they met and how the school was built, cuz there are multiple episodes that refer to the movies and characters from them do indeed stay there afterwards
@@D1SZZ i am aware.
@Miranda Musgraves yeah. It began as 1 book called Monster High and then it got 3 sequels.
In the first book, the ghouls use make-up and such things to blend in with the humans (normies)
But the books SUCK
@@theinfantmetroid how would you know if you never read them, loser. You're stupid
"Behold, a Monster High doll!"
*OG Monster High fans screaming*
That's a disappointment is what that thing is.
Holy hell, the new dolls take away everything that originally made Monster High so compelling.
I'm so thankful that I managed to talk my mom into letting me keep my original Frankie, Draculaura, Clawdeen, Ghoulia, Lagoona, Cleo, Deuce, and Holt.
@scarletfacee True. The orginal dolls are perfect for doll customization.
@@mandipowell2418 wait so have the ones where the limbs pop of been taken away? Because i still have tons of em that i had from like 2 years or so ago
@@shreksgotabigonionywap6070 Yeah, the new ones don't have articulated arms anymore. Something about the arms being a 'safety hazard.' Which in my opinion, is total bs.
Monster High dolls were the only thing I ever wanted as a child, I am proud to say I have four boxes of them in my basement. 👀
Clawdeen Wolf was my favorite, I loved her style, I liked that she was strong and independent. I love that she wants to be a fashion designer. Plus wolves are actually my favorite animal so the fact that she happened to be a werewolf was just lucky.
does anyone else remember when they crossed over monster high and ever after high with cupid? she’s still one of my favourite characters from both franchises
oh hell no that’s not a monster high doll. they used to be so high quality, what tf happened?
@@user-nu5or1gu3i yez
maggie e. i can’t seem to even find the reboots in toy stores any more, it’s that shit
Exactly. Wtf. They used to be so much better,way more expensive but they articulated and detailed.
Honestly tho I have one newer monster high doll and her arms fall off every two seconds and her face looks weird- my old monster high dolls are 100% better
Blame it on Karen and Sharon
*_If we get a live-action version of Monster High, then this will become a straight up Stephen King horror movie that takes to a whole new level._*
It’ll be just be like that Bratz live-action movie but with family friendly horror motif
Why do I see you Mr. Friendship in every video? First SU Roundtable, and now here?! Well.... ok
Mr. Friendship I’d pay money to see that as well as an animated series
Heeerrree's Clawdeen!!!
I hope it’d be like the music video
I really like the message that Monster High sent and all the cool special characters and their separate plots that it had. Like a cyclops girl (who is already an unusual look) dating a minotaur or zombies who are actually slow. Also the main idea that different quirks of your own body make you special and cool was shown so uniquely that I think it was the best franchise of its time.
I loved Clawdeen the best because she such a badass but I thought Cleo had the best design. She's always wearing leggings and gloves and had makeup that's very similar to ancient Egyptian makeup they put on and she's usually wearing a lot of jewelry with Egyptian symbols so I just love her design.
I fell like the new “welcome to monster high stuff” is a whole different story. Frankie originally was a new girl who wants to fit in. Now it’s Draculura who wants to fit in. It has a whole new plot. It’s not the same story. It has a better plot but the old version gave us more character development.
I personally like the old one.
Me too!!! Everyone does
I think they made Draculaura the main character of the reboot because IM GUESSING her Doll always sold best, made them the most money, so they thought she is a fan favourite and used her as the face of the brand in the reboot.
I mean she literally was in EVERY MOVIE, even before the reboot. Like we could have a Movie without frankie but never without Draculaura. Which was probably also due to her making them the most money wise
But the new characters are all so similar and they just made them splattered in pink. I know it's for kids but the old ones actuslly had highschool looking clothes and they we're still pastels and girly sometimes. And also the "monsters" like Clawdeen brothers or that jello ghost buster looking guy is just odd.
Some movies we're simple, like the roller one but it thought us to respect eachother and to have determination. It was a really good movie and when I see the eletric movie I just wonder :what the hell happened
It’s based on the books
Someone get this man an original Frankie doll.
True
I have an OG Frankie doll. I don’t use her anymore, but alas, I don’t know his address
PLEASE AND THANK YOU
I unfortunately, have the same one he has in the video.
I have the Ball one where she’s in her blue dress and a bun which is in really good shape except for a missing hand
wait I SWEAR on my life monster high and ever after high had a crossover episode? Like I remember it! I’m so confused.
Cupid from Monster High transferred to Ever After High, but other than that I don't think so? I didn't watch all the EAH episodes so I'm not the best person to ask- ';w;
Yes, Cupid transferred from MH to EAH around mid season 2 of Eah.
At the end of Boo York, there was a crossover hint as someone in MH was on the phone with Raven and Apple. There was gonna be a full crossover movie that got cancelled, though. I think the books have a crossover book, at least.
@@missmoony6800 Ooh
Yeah Cupid transfers from MH to EAH
I don't know if I am the only one, but from minute 1:05 to 1:16 the music just stops because of copyright, I loved how my mind just played the song inside my head. Good times
Same here. Where's The Fair Use?
Same. I am not ashamed that I know all the lyrics to the Fright Song lmao
monster high was teaching kids to accept yourself and to love who you are, believe me. my generation LOVED playing with these dolls and our parents would always have something to say about them...it's so sad that kids were enjoying this concept SO MUCH and it all went down bcs of adults.
also, i've always wanted an spectra doll 🥺🥺🥺
Edit: ive never had these much likes wow!! thanks yall
I always wanted either a Robecca Steam one or Jinafire Long. They were my favourite characters.
Off topic but I was your 444 like 😼
Yea and the dolls weren't even scary I remember when I got my first doll from Mattel I didn't even touch it but the head fell off and the episodes are just repetitive and not interesting like they were in 2010-2014 and tbh I dreamed better designs for those dolls but I don't have the material to make them
@@JasmineP-qk6ob nice
@@Cheetahgirl_Studios OMG I WAS OBSESSED WITH JINAFIRE AWWW
I feel like if they came out with the dolls with the quality that they used to be, it would become a thing again.
Foreal
Same goes for EAH. Hell, I’m surprised they haven’t done it yet seeing how high in demand both toy lines are.
I’d start buying them again, despite being older. Lol
THIS
IS EVERYTHTING
Cleopatra was a whole mood and I lived for it, Lagoona had a lovely design . My two faves!
the only thing i didnt like about this show is a mistake that everyone makes with Dracula, Dracula's daughter in this case.
WE (Romanians) DONT HAVE A (frikkin) RUSSIAN ACCENT
thank you 🥰
If I remember right, it was established in one of the movies, the one where they go into MH Hollywood to find the vampire queen or something, that Draculaura is actually adopted.
@@ChaoticNalilitoMC Yeah plus idk if this was in a book or something, but the way that happened is that Draculaura was on the brink of dying, so Dracula turned her into a vampire to save her life.

@@Cheetahgirl_Studios I never got a chance to read all the books. Started reading the first one but only got a few chapters in before I had to return it to my friend.
It's a shame they lowered the quality of the dolls Ioved how frankies stitches and bolts where painted silver
I know! I liked when the dolls had joints in the arms. I have older Monster High dolls that have the actual joints, and I also have this one cheap Frankie doll I got a couple years ago (It was like- 5 bucks at Walmart-) And it has leg joints, but no elbow/hand ones! It's disappointing to see how they dropped the quality with the dolls, as well as changed up the movies into deeper, different animation :/
@@whinkx bro!! For real! I would kill for those!
it's like stitching up and er patient's wounds but needing thread that matches their skin color
It kinda makes me sad seeing how this line died off in the end, especially since I was a fan from the complete start of the franchise :/ I still rewatch the movies whenever i'm feeling nostalgic
I can relate. :)
Me to!
i always wach them when im bored ;-;
Omg same when I was 7 I used to force my cousins to watch it me lol
Ugh same
7:04
I’ve seen lots of doll channels (Dollightful, Doll Motion, etc) use older versions Monster High dolls to create original characters and designs. The problem with these newer dolls is that they aren’t fully articulated. You can see Frankie’s right arm is stuck in that pose, compared to an older version where her elbows and shoulders could move in any direction possible to the doll. When the animation starts becoming more complex or starts dying down, you can tell from the quality of the products rolled out by the company.
Rip -_-
And yes, this is further explained as I watch the video. Reminder to not leave comments before watching the whole video lol
I actually read the Monster High books by Lisi Harrison way before I ever new about the dolls or web-series/movies. They were the first novels I ever read and enjoyed in their entirety, I read them as they came out and they have a huge place in my heart.
I loved the books so much! They were so different from the series, they always felt more aimed at older teens than the show which felt more aimed at younger teens and I always though of the books and the series as two different thing, like yeah they had the same characters for the most part but they were so extremely different! Major influence on my childhood!!!
The new dolls made me literally cry because they were NOT my childhood
I AGREE! Now they are NOWHERE near as articulated and they can't move their heads in EVERY direction
I hate how you can't move their elbows and hands 😭
Agreed
Hey child here I have the old ones too :( it sucks that now I cannot move the joints
@@stardust-yourname-xo779 ikr 😭
No one:
Me: crying because the arms and hands no longer come off in the new design and they no longer come with a stand, a brush, and a diary. 😭😭
Omg😭. I used to love reading their diaries 💕🥰. I haven't seen the new dolls yet tho.
YES! why did monster high do this- i miss the old designs
Brooke McKenzie wait they don’t come with brushes and diary’s? WAIT WHAT
Lunaaa xX i always lost the diaries
mousie i still have my venus mcflytrap diary 💀
"I present to you, Monster High"
*Plays the opening to Soul Eater*
Monster high hit at the correct time for me. I was 10 at the time and I just fell in love, especially because I was a goth alternative kid. Still am goth/alternative ngl. It was just so different and refreshing but it also represented how I liked to 'dress.' Draculaura and Skelita were my favorites. Draculaura cause she was a Gothic lolita vampire. Skelita because she was based off of Dia de Los Muertos and as a Mexican it was great to see representation of my culture. I genuinely lived this series and I was said when they changed the dolls.
"Behold, a monster high doll"
Me: stares at it in disgust. Looks at the OG dolls in my room, "why... why did you have to go?"
Mood, Bro.
This is the reason why it went down. I feel bad now.
I feel bad for not collecting all of them now
Rayln_6WN my sister broke mine it was the Dracula beach one 😭😂
@@rocky_mochiii yikes! That's was a good one. R.i.p Draculora. But yeah, one time I bought a box that had all 6 characters in their original outfits, and the ghoulia doll was already broken at the knee.
I remember when i lost my frankie doll’s hand, I honestly didn’t mind it since it looked natural on her..
KIMINKINK ' sameee
Exectly
KIMINKINK ' I broke my original frankies legs back in 2011 bc on the original instructions paper it said that the legs and hands and arms were removable
SAME
KIMINKINK ' same! And I see JIMIN :0 💜
I remember most my childhood I never wanted to BE a character, I always wanted to be in the World of a series I enjoyed so my childhood is littered with Self Insert OCs lmao, but I remember Vividly wanting to BE Frankie. She was one of my favorites just cause I could see part of myself in her and wanted to be like her in the sense of her kindness and acceptance of anyone she met. She is the first step in becoming who I am today
Remember when the dolls each came with a little stand, brush, and diary😭
• l e s l i e • the children of the next generation will never understand how it felt to read them 😢
Ahhhhhdiehwkeoeo same I loved the props
Yes
THERE WERE DIARIES!? I only remember the stand and brush!
@@Flight180s there were black and white little composition notebooks with a few pages in it explaining their life or their problems

Im so glad i recently bought the old monster high doll for $7, but i regret not buying more

sid ahart same
same,they were the best dolls :c
Ikr and I still watch the movies

Who's karen? xD
Monster High: exists
Karens: *I'm about to end this man's whole carrer*
UGH STUPID KAREN RUINING ALL OF EVERYTHING
Fotini Tsataros sameeeee
I never understood the concept of "Karen", what does it means?
@eclipsa It is a stereotypical hateful woman
ikr
my mom: No you cant watch Monster High
Netflix: *your words are useless*
i literally have no idea HOW i found monster high when i was like 8. i just remembered one day i was on monster high website and was watching the shows. like how did i find it??? idk but clawdeen was my absolute favorite. old monster high was the best. i have the movies and wigs and clothes and skirts and dolls. karens ruin everything. theyre not that cool anymore. :(
It's kinda sad, I wanted to see a collab between Monster High and Ever After High.
Same
I mean it kinda happened at the end of a monster High movie we saw someone from MH talking to someone from EAH. (Though I don’t remember if it was a MH movie or EAH movie)
@@parechu2 It was a MH Movie
They kinda did, but with AC Cupid
There is a collab happened yet its only a book
Parents ruined the childhood their children could have had without knowing
Parents : You can't ruin childhood, if you don't have one
I’m surprised he didn’t mention just how different the book series was compared to the show’s and doll’s characters/storyline. Also, they do exist in hard cover but buying hardcover books in a set like that isn’t generally a thing.
That was the most diverse so ever. Whyyy did they take it down 😭💔
I actually found a place that has the movies on it, it’s called Tubi and it’s free, I think all of the movies are on there, when I found out about it I just had to have a movie marathon!!
One word: Karens
"the dolls are too skinny!!!!"
*_-they've also been rotting in the ground for years-_*
Karen: THEY’RE TOO SKINNY!
Me: Frankie is a reanimated corpse... Ghoulia is a ZOMBIE... Half of the cast are rotting corpses... WHAT DID YOU *THINK* THEY WERE GOING TO LOOK LIKE KAREN? THEY’RE. *MONSTERS!* THEY. ARE. NOT. *HUMAN.*
Also Dolls in general are very skinny
I love your name, from Mean Girls the Broadway Musical!
Lmao
They are so skinny......
Yes they all look the same cuz how could all outfits fit
Favorite character: Clawadeen.Why?: it’s because have u noticed this was the only girl without A MAN in the whole group? That bis went and did modeling and fashion in Paris and hosted her own fashion show! She is a legend period. EDIT: SHE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED LESBIAN! OUR LESBIAN ICON
PLUS she’s a werewolf, which- fun fact- is my favourite monster of all time.
I liked her too
She's my favourite too. I like her becouse she looks very simmilar to me too
that’s that black girl power 🥳 . periodt.
I guess she has a shitton of brothers so it should be enough
I had the ds game for this show and I would never stop playing it. I had about every single doll they made. It was my obsession.
Monster high taught me to love myself for who I am even though I have always been different to others and without monster high, I would be nothing. I love Draculaura so much because she was always there for her friends and I loved her personality. I think that Casta had the best character design because the purple and orange sparkles from the belt and ruffles in her dress from the colours in her hair look gorgeous and I love her.
