Benvenuti alla Monster High

Best movie ever! Every thing is so fun and colorful.

One important thing to remember when going into this movie is that it is a reboot. All previous movies and webisodes are non-canon to this timeline.

As someone who has been a fan of the series since the beginning, I was skeptical about this reboot. But surprisingly, it is a good movie and a nice reboot to the series. While some fan-favorites are missing from the film (Ghoulia, Abbey and Spectra), they are not gone, according to the company. And save for Frankie and Lagoona, the voice cast is from the older movies and show.

The characters are given a lot more depth and the interactions between Draculaura and her father feel genuine. In the show, Frankie was just a klutzy character with no real link to her origins besides the stitches. In the reboot, she actually is into science and technology (a lot like Ghoulia was), better showcasing that she is the daughter of Frankenstein's Monster.

Overall, I think this is a fun and enjoyable movie and a good start to a new timeline.

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.

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 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.
