Monster High : Bienvenue à Monster High

My daughter recently fell in love with monster high but I felt the cartoon show was a little too mature for her. She's 4 and I don't feel she needs to know about "boyfriends" and "dating" so I was so happy to find this movie for her to watch because it was perfect for her! I also didn't mind sitting and watching it with her. It's just a cute monster high movie.

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.

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.

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.

I absolutely hate the reboot. It's so girly and so boring. This is the worst Monster High movie I've ever seen.
