Monster High: Welcome to Monster High

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.

I just watched this with my 5 year old daughter and she loved it.

It's the same as the old series with admittedly a few changes to the origin.

The animation is much better and more effort seems to have been made to character development.

As stated I don't really feel this a 10 star film (more like 6/7) but as there are only a few reviews I found the average unfair.

Okay, I know this reboot flopped. And it's not even slightly as good as the original franchise. But it is still watchable and...different.

Were the old movies the pinnacle of animation and story telling? No of course not, they could have been improved in various places. But in comparison to this? They feel far better in every way that matters. The reboot takes everything from the original Monster High and erases it. The entire original storyline and everything you learned about the world? Gone.

Instead it is replaced by a cheap and boring not to mention overly saturated version. The characters somehow lose all personality in this reboot and are replaced with dismal clones. Especially Dracula, the sophisticated Vampire everyone expects is replaced by some sort of generic timid sweater vest wearing version.

The plot is poorly done as were the graphics, feeling like a cross between clay and 3D. Even the 3D for season one of Sailor Moon Crystal was better than the one used for Welcome to monster high.

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.
