My ONLY problem with Freaky Fusion is that the plot is literally the ghouls figuring out how to share one body and Jackson Jekyll and Holt Hyde are NOWHERE to be found. Sharing one body and living two lives while having clashing personalties is their whole thing and Monster High barely does anything with it outside of the webisodes. If you ask me, Freaky Fusion would have been the perfect movie for their dynamic to be explored, granted it would shift other plots around but come on, he is right there and they are asking a zombie unicorn for therapy.

As an adult I can agree that Ghouls Rule is just too chaotic and messy, however as a kid I LOVED it because there were so many things happening it kept my short attention span engaged

Still upset we never got the monster high x ever after high crossover. It got teased SO much in the films and eah films!!

My biggest issue with Monster High is that they keep saying Frankie is 15 days old, but that can only be true once. Every day that passes, she ages a day, unless the entirity on Monster High is somehow taking place on her first day of school.

It wasn't until I actually read Frankenstein in high school that I realized that certain jokes about Frankie's character directly referenced her father’s story, lol. Like Frankie reading magazines to fit in with monster society. was supposed to parallel with Frankenstein's monster reading books to fit in better with human society! I kinda wish they had expanded on Frankie's family dynamic and relationship with her parents. We didn't even get to see them. We only see Frankie's father’s portrait a few times in the Monster High movies.
Also, the philosophical side of Frankenstein's monster really parallels nicely with Frankie wanting everyone to be loved and accepted.

Frankie's story REALLY should be expanded upon.

As a child who treated Monster High like crack I can confirm me and my little sister were BAWLING when Frankie died

It’s shown in Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love that Valentine’s magic still had some lingering affects on her. It took him a while to even get her to fall for him deeper because he underestimated how much she cared about Clawd.

Basically, she was stuck lining over her ex because of his magic and it took Clawd’s gift to break her free of  it for good.

Lmaoo lagoona was basically just race swapped in 13 wishes-

Your critique and rankings are all really valid and I agree with almost everything, but the fashion obsessed Francophile 10 year old in me died inside when you said Scaris was "just alright" I simply can't handle that opinion 😭

9:17 the 2D art style could EASILY be translated into a 2D animation, but when going into 3D, Monster High must’ve decided to make the characters look more like the dolls, as these were more recognisable at the time. That’s why Spectras hair looks so flat, as it does on the dolls available of her at the time.

I actually like that Operetta went to Boo York (though I do agree her outfit/doll was not it) because well she’s the daughter of Phantom of the Opera which is a long running musical in NYC (although the phantom doesn’t really look like how they designed her but that’s a different topic) but I feel like they could’ve done something where operetta talks about how her dad is known in the monster high broadway world, I do understand why she kinda doesn’t make sense because they give her no story or no connection (especially because she doesn’t really hang out with main cast)

I always felt disappointed that Frankie lost relevance as the movies went on, especially being the new ghoul at school.

7:37 when I was watching the movie I was so confused on why it was 3d on the cover and 2D as the film showed

2:39 bugs when you lift up a rock

RIP Gen 1 monster high. You made me feel so seen as an emo tween

what I find disappointing for Ghoul’s Rule is that Draculaura and Clawdeen offered NOTHING to the plot yet they both got new dolls for this movie. Spectra and Operetta on the other hand helped Frankie find the hall of halloween and even saw themselves with new outfits which should’ve been a new doll for them, with Spectra helping even more by finding out who’s hacking Holt’s account (maybe this is just my bias talking because Spectra is my favorite MH character)

ngl this made me realize that i only liked most of the monster high movies i liked as a kid bcs i rlly enjoyed the new character designs lol

3:02 … well guess what year these came out

When I was watching "Monster High: 13 Wishes," I couldn't help but notice a continuity error in the story. If I'm not mistaken, I think Howleen made MORE than 13 wishes.

15:45 in Ghouls rule they literally have the main villain Van hellscream bump into Cleo in the sewers and they get close to each other hence why she feels bad for what they’re gonna do to Holt later
