    The website used to be entirely dedicated to the series. The episodes were launched there. We had a game where you could choose your character, decorate your room, etc. And yes you could buy the dolls too, but it was so much more than it is now. It's too sad that EAH never got the ending it deserved.

    I love how they portrayed Briar Rose as someone who’s afraid/reluctant to sleep. It’s a really fresh perspective on the Sleeping Beauty story/franchise. In Wreck it Ralph 2, Shrek, or Charming, they all portray Sleeping Beauty as a narcoleptic. It’s nice to see Briar Rose as someone who’s afraid and avoidant of sleep. Sleeping for a hundred years is a curse not a personality.

    • @vexywexypoo
      @vexywexypoo ปีที่แล้ว +121

      Briar still has narcolepsy as far as I'm aware but it's realistic in a way that it's not just a silly thing that she's okay with, it actively impacts her life in a negative way. There's a whole episode about it if I remember correctly.

      Briar’s story is a nice and fresh perspective of Sleeping Beauty’s incarnations in media. Like, I said, they made her personality as “sleeping”. That’s why Briar’s version of Sleeping Beauty is really good.

    • @singingofsilver

      Same! It's such a logical take on it, nobody would be happy to sleep for so long. Waking up to an entirely different world is bad enough, but when they have lives and friends before they sleep like Briar does then that's even worse, because one of the first things that she'd feel after waking up would be grief for her long-dead friends she may not have ever gotten to say goodbye to.

    So the reason characters are classified as Royal or Rebel is about whether they choose to follow their destiny (this happens later in the show and why you should keep watching). Someone like Raven is a Rebel because she is rebelling against her destiny even thought she technically is royalty. Blonde Locks (Goldilocks’ daughter) is a Royal because she chose to follow her mum’s footsteps even though she’s not royalty.

      Is not really that,the daughter of beauty sleeping is a royal and she choose to not follow her destiny. The royals are as they name said the child’s of the royalty original characters,like Snow White is a queen and the others princess etc.
      And the rebels are the child’s of the villains or characters that are not royalty,like the son of Alicia or the mad hatter.

    Part 2 PLEASE! (Also, watching on Netflix would be the better idea because it has all of it, and they're condensed down into actual "episodes" instead of the shorter TH-cam videos.) As someone who grew up with this show and still absolutely LOVES it, I'm living for the fact that (almost) all the questions you asked during this actually get answerd later on in the show because the show was actually well thought out. And also (minor spoilers for later in the show so stop reading if you don't want that)
    If the show had been allowed to continue, they would have made it GAY! Like, actual explicit romance between Apple and Darling. The kiss scene should be enough to convince you of that, but the actual writers went on record and said that was the direction they would have taken the show. So sad it got cancelled because of Disney's Descendants blowing up. The last season really didn't feel like a finale.

      The thing I love about Ever After High is the inherent theme of classism where villains and their children are marked from birth and shunned by society, and they can either embrace that or rebel against it, like the difference between Raven Queen and Faybelle Thorn. Then there’s the favoritism of royal characters, leaving the non-royal characters overlooked and sidelined even if they’re the main character of their own stories, like how Blondie Lockes is a Royal but not really, she’s in Royal social circles but she doesn’t enjoy the privileges of royalty, or Hunter Huntsman having to secretly date Ashlynn Ella because her status as royalty makes it a social taboo to date below her station, especially with a character in as liminal a role as the Huntsman, who shows up in the stories of both Snow White and Red Riding Hood. Mattel probably didn’t want to explore these themes too much, they just wanted to sell toys, which is why Ever After High is no longer an active franchise sadly.

      I headcanon that the world of Ever After High is very much intertwined with whatever force is behind Fate, which is how things just sorta work out for certain characters (like Briar jumping out the window and Daring just happening to be standing right where she’d need to be caught to survive), and the more characters diverge from their destinies the more chaotic the world becomes because Fate has to account for all these new variables. So a character won’t poof out of existence if they don’t sign onto their predetermined destinies, but Fate won’t exactly know what to do about them so more chaotic things will happen within their lives.

      Also if you’re on board, would love to know what fairytale most resonates with you, maybe a favorite folktale, and maybe you could imagine yourself as a child of that fairytale in Ever After High

    YOOOO I JUST GOT BACK INTO EVER AFTER HIGH AND YOU POST THIS?!??!?
    Edit after watching video: I'm so glad you don't immediately hate Apple, the fandom treats her like pure evil even though she was pressured by others to follow her destiny, just like literally everyone else. Sure, she wants to be queen, but she also cares for others. Sure, she can be pretty selfish, but that's what makes her a good character- She would be perfect otherwise.

I can't wait what you'll think of Raven's perspective and of course, legacy day! >:D Ever After High truly is a master piece and seeing you enjoy it just brings me and so many others joy. Like one of our fave TH-camrs dives into one of our most loved shows growing up. :)) Please consider making a part 2, or even series (no rush)

    Wait, I just realized, the moment where Briar says she's going again (to yeet herself out the tower), Daring gets on pose to catch her. They really take trust fall to other level. (That potential for friendship, tho)

    Ever after high is an amazing show and i definitely recommend reacting to all the specials (that's where the occasional songs and best character development ect is as tje regular episodes are less than 10 mins and filler) i grew up with this show and it's amazing

    You have to finish the series, I believe you will love it. It is cheesy and dramatic but the story is so well written and many different parts of the show tackle serious issues in a fun and good way. Also, the few songs in the show slap!

  • @louisev7202
    @louisev7202 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    One thing I love about all the Charmings is that since they can't pledge, they DON'T get the legacy they expect. And the unexpected leads to obstacles leading to growth and potential character development.
    I also like seeing the kids follow in their parents' footsteps in unexpected ways and reinventing the tales.
    Spoiler warning :
    I think Ashley's "prince" won't be a Charming, and the three siblings will end up playing the parts of Prince Adam, The Good King (from Snow White ??) (maybe) and Prince Florian (from Snow White) but not in the way they were supposed to.

  • @wonderlucky1912
    @wonderlucky1912 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I am glad you have an open-mind about Apple’s perspective. Briar and Daring get character development. Briar is 1 of my favorite characters and she has an interesting storyline.

  • @-Emberr-
    @-Emberr- ปีที่แล้ว +57

    If you like the show, I highly recommend checking out the book trilogy, which is also called Ever After High and is written by Shannon Hale. The books have longer storylines and are very fun to read, and there’s a forth one that’s a crossover with Monster High (Ever After High, The Legend of Shadow High). The third one is probably my favorite out of the trilogy because, wait, spoilers! I just think it’s really worth the read if you’re interested :D
    (PS: There’s a second series that goes into depth of some of the side characters if you’re desperate for even more Ever After High. It’s 8 books long and written by Suzanne Selfors and is also really good! I remember borrowing the third one from the library and renewing it for months until I finally got my own copy lol)

    You should absolutely keep watching, because as the show continues, the original plot develops so much more with twists that you probably won't expect. And in my personal opinion, the wonderland arc of this show is way too good to miss out on.

  • @Twimcsm
    @Twimcsm ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Please please please watch more!! There are actually many princes and princess who don’t want to follow their destiny, and you get to learn more about them in depth as the series goes on. It’s really good, especially since for some characters, you typically think them shallow until you learn something about more that has you see them in an entirely different light

    So from what the books kinda explains why everyone isn't related to everyone is that for the Charming family's there's like 4 or 5 different families but the Charmings we see in show were pretty much prince charming for some stories like Daring being the "prince" charming in Apples story but the books also kinda have some differences to the show

    Although the show introduces characters as "daughter/son of [...]" it doesn´t mean that they are the actual child of the original fairytale charatcer, they r more like the descendant, the great-great-great-great-great-whatever-grandchild, there already were multiple different Snow Whites before Apple and after the original Snow White, same with all the other fairytale characters

    I was OBSESSED with eah as a 12 year old and still have such appreciation for this show... I'm so pumped to see someone I'm subscribed to make a video about it because it honestly has no right to be THAT good as a webisode series made to sell dolls. There's so much lore and character development and surprisingly deep philosophical ponderings on free will and choice that are somehow digestible for its young audience without overly villainizing one side of the debate or the other. Plus the design/aesthetic for the show is so cute, and to top it all off, the show has probably my favorite cartoon theme song of all time

    I think that most people in the school more afraid of her than mad at her. Other students who have an evil destiny just did it, so they’re assuming that Raven would probably be evil too. I don’t think it’s that anyone is making them hate her so much as they just aren’t taking any chances.
