Monster High also teaches children to accept others for who they are. Freaky flaws and all!
Exactly.
It helped my child who is autistic feel more sure of themselves.
The girl monsters were our friends.
@@88evileve88 I'm autistic too.
exactly like so what if there a little more bold and sassy , there clawsome! (pun intended)
i loved the hybrids since i’m a mixed kid!!
yeah but weirdly all their bodies and faces look almost exactly the same as each other. like, they could at least have done some girls with fat bodies or missing limbs. dunno
i hope those karens enjoyed ruining a whole doll line for nothing
Valerie Villazon yes!! :D
Valerie Villazon me too :(
bruh they murdered our childhood
Damn Karen Nation. Attacking everything that brings joy...
The adults are probably the ones who will want it more than the kids.
Once again, parents ruin everything.

monster high taught me and my friends to love ourselves for our individuality. this show, these dolls, these movies helped everyone who felt ugly, different or even just scared of their sexuality/gender identity to embrace themselves. it’s such a shame to see it all plummet
👏👏
This. Is right here
Exactly. They were diverse and positive without anyone having to pressure them. So what they were abnormally skinny, they weren’t human! They made me feel good about myself, not negative. I loved how each character had their own personality and design. Sure I wouldn’t watch them now, but I loved them as a little kid.
Lol I grew up on Anime, which taught me a even better lesson, to always improve myself and never settle for what I currently am. >.>
👍👍
The problem was Mattel tried to fix what wasn't broken.
True.
@@goodbyeg374 What?
I agree
Facts, these companies and their decisions
Exactly and same with winx
"Their faces were too scary"
Um
They're monsters
I know right their not BARBIES
now I'm thinking of that person that appeared on Ponder spocket's Adventures in critiquing series who said "it is illegal to scare the childrens"
K but they weren't even scary enough to be called that either XD
How are they scary tho their adorable
It's like with "Hazbin Hotel" where people judged the people in hell for sinning, taking drugs and hating the gays
Draculaura: don’t send her back! I don’t have any friends!

Meowmix49 Aj uwu ima princess, well now you have a hazbin profile pic, she can let sink in.
i know right :((( i’ve actually heard some parents say that they are “scary” and “not christian” -_-
their kids didn’t think so.
Yes they did. I wish they stayed the same and we could've seen what turns the brand would take.
'13 wishes' is unironically a good movie. oh, and 'why do ghouls fall in love?' is my guilty pleasure.
13 Wishes will forever be one of my favourite movies in the franchise, because of the nod to EAH with Gigi and Wisp having their own Fairytale with influence from Giles Grimm. I rewatched it not too long ago, and my jaw dropped by how I missed that when I was a kid.
I remember when i watched that like 0-0
Friday night frights is my favorite because I love to rollerblade along with Frights Camera Action for the cinematic elements
13 wishes is my fav
Everybody keeps forgetting “frights,camera,action” and “Scaris”

Karens : Monster High dolls had breasts, what a tragedy!
Barbie : *let me introduce myself*
ONG! like karen, weren't you talking about body positivity? What happened to that with the breasts because last time i checked almost everyone got them, big or small....
@@stxrkilla "ong"
Do Karen's really think cartoon girls in high school shouldn't have breasts.
Rozziye Monster High is about accepting yourself for you are, and self love. Barbie dolls are like “yeah, I went to the moon! Dad sent me to the moon!” Luther energy, and the old ones are like really really skinny giving off anorexic vibes
monster high is coming back to release 2 new dolls! If we hype them enough they may even bring the series back
Everyone was happy until they made all the characters look like barbie ripoffs.
not really
Except for the Karens!
kill Karen’s :)
@@crayola6586 the fans were happy
I always thought it was so cool how Ghoulia, the "nerd", was best friends with the popular girl Cleo, because that's something that almost never happens in series like this
Usually the nerd character gets treated differently for being weird, but almost everyone likes her in the series, and as someone who related to Ghoulia it always made me so happy
To be fair on that one ghoulia was often treated like a slave by Cleo 😓😓 it was nice that people cared what ghoulia had to say though and that was much needed
Everything basically falls apart because Mattel only cares about money.
It's unfortunate, but they do have a lot of employees to pay
Unfortunately, a lot of loved companies do eventually turn to the money greedy phase and go from quality to..meh. Such as ROBLOX. If you're an older player, I'd say from
Trash Kai that’s capitalism for ya..........Bernie 2020
They’re basically milking Barbie dry
MOOSELINI
What does politics have anything to do with a doll reboot of a money hungry company?
Parents complained “the dolls were too skinny”
Me: Yeah, the dolls are monsters, they’re skinny because they are DECAYED!!
Oh, yeah, sure (!) I mean, it’s not like the main character is a reanimated CORPSE or anything (!) Or the fact that they had an actual ZOMBIE as a main character (!) No, these girls are all perfectly human (!) Just ignore the British girl, she’s just a dead teen reanimated as a Steampunk robot by her inventor father.
Edit: Holy Hell where did all these likes come from?
Not all monster's are dead though but now that I think about of a lot of them were undead though. Cleo, Franki, Draculaura, Ghoulia just to name few
@@Cheetahgirl_Studios u mean Robecca Steam?
@Ana Paula Yeah. Ok, she wasn’t reanimated by her father as a Steampunk robot. But I was just making a point. Plus, looking back now, I actually have a theory that maybe Hebediah made Robecca to replace his actual teenage daughter, who died from unknown circumstances. IDK, I just think it’s dumb that parents complained about monsters not being realistic.
Cheetahgirl Studios thats sad-
monster high was my whole aesthetic, like i used to be the try hard "not like other girls" girls and so instead of barbie, i found monster high and used that to prove i was "different" (lmfao) but even tho i changed monster high will still have a place in my heart
Same! Its embarrassing now
There's nothing wrong with being different
@@tidepodpadthai2633 ur right but my point is, i was being different not necessarily bc i wanted to be, but bc i wanted to look down on other ppl and seem better than them which is not right
@@lacrimosa5213 this is your lore lol
Don’t feel bad - the not like other girls phenomenon is a direct result of internalized sexism. Our society looks down on women so much, it it any wonder girls didn’t want to be viewed like that and be seen as different?
Tbh Monster High dolls even though yes, they had skinny waists, they still had like more ~shape~ to them compared to the Barbie dolls at the time. So it made me feel less of that 'skinny pressure' as a kid.
I was like "Omg her legs are similar to mine. Like she has prominent calves so that means my big calves are okay too!"
I really just think it was just a bit ahead of it's time, but of course parents had to ruin that 😭😭😭😔
i didnt even notice there skinny waists and slim firgure, they were good quality dolls
They were literal monsters though like make it make sense
Parents need to realize that while yes these dolls are meant for kids, the characters are teenagers. They’re going to dress like teenagers, not preschoolers.
*P R E A C H*
Is it wrong if i agree
Honestly I’m a parent and I watch monster high with my 5 year old all the time and it never even occurred to me lol I guess that’s a big perk of being a young parent. I’m unbothered 😂
Ok let say it
True
If parents hated the clothes on monster high, they're going to hate Winx lol
Omg yeah
My parents wouldn't let me watch winx😂
My parents didnt care what I watched lmao
Omg yes XD
Omg I used to love Winx XD
So I've seen those terrible reboot dolls of Frankie, Draculaura, Clawdeen, Lagoona, maybe Cleo(I don't remember) but ABSOLUTELY NONE for Ghoulia. So in what I've seen, they just completely left Ghoulia alone, which may be for the better cause let's be honest, no one wants to see any of their favorite dolls rebooted. And now that Monster High dolls have been rebooted(it's even hard to find the reboots now) I wish that I had taken better care of my Monster High dolls.
Same... I had a River Styks doll at some point, and a Ghouls Rule Draculaura; but I have no idea what I did with them or why I got rid of them...
I had a massive collection of monster high dolls, I would ask for one each year for my birthday. I gave away my collection to a little girl who lives next door and whilst I’m glad I did because she enjoyed them, I really wish I still had them, especially since the quality of the dolls has gone downhill :(
Wait there's no Ghoulia!!? That saddens me so much cuz I liked her a lot :((
plenty of the characters were just deleted in the reboot, ghoulia included. Also Clawdeen's entire honestly super interesting family was erased and boiled down to like 20 little puppies.
god i miss mines i remember i gaved them to my 6 years old cousin and one of my mom friends kid, my cousin taked care for them and the 9 yrs kid taked off the the legs and arms from my fav clawdeen :(
as someone who has suffered with eating problems from a young age, monster high never made me feel bad about myself. i always viewed it as "oh they are dead so they're more boney" as a kid and i honestly have no idea where the moms upset about them got their ideas from
The original Monster High dolls were so unique back when I was little and that’s why I loved them so much. I couldn’t care less about the whole “oh, they’re too skinny,” etc. because I was a heccin’ child, I didn’t think about their body type, I just thought the dolls were fun and I liked dressing them up. The original dolls were so detailed and they had JOINTS. I repeat, they had J O I N T S
Why did they take EVERYTHING that made Monster High dolls so unique and fun, and completely ruin it in the reboot?
Mhmm. I said what I said.
And don’t even get me started on the parents. Parents ruin everything, I’m sorry. There was nothing wrong with how the dolls looked. If that was the case, so many children wouldn’t have loved these dolls as much as they did.
As someone who never cared much for dolls, the movies were the main selling point for me. Sure, looking back now they were a bit cheesy, but I loved them regardless and I still do. The art style was so distinctive and unique. Little tiny me low-key loved the gothic vibe they had. And the character designs were GORGEOUS (especially my girl Robecca. She was just perfect.) The main reason the reboots pissed me off wasn’t because of the new art style (mind you I was slightly annoyed by the change). It was because they got rid of almost all of the OG cast. The cast the old movies spent AGES building! Look, I actually have a list of casualties.

I remember being able to take their limbs off, such as arms and legs, and sometimes losing the pieces. Monster High dolls and Ever After High dolls were the only ones able to do that, and that's what made them unique and special.
My daughter was so disappointed when they stopped making them with articulated joints. That is when she stopped buying them.
Exactly me and my mom loved MH and I was around 5 or 6 when I started getting them and it never crossed my mind that they were ‘’ too skinny” or “ unrealistic” because they were dolls. I also loved how articulated they were too unlike barbie
I was pumped about the joints (had that werewolf girl) because it was the only doll I had with joints (other than a Barbie that my dog stole and destroyed)
So basically you’re saying parents ruin everything. Agreed.
Correct.
Rosie yep
well... they ruined me
The reason why a certain Disney ride got replaced was because parents were ignoring all the warnings of it being too scary. So yea.
I agree
As someone who struggled with body issues my entire life, I never once felt like a toy contributed to that.
The adults, though, contributed way more than they realized.
The adults calling things I just found pretty and made me happy “slutty” and “floozy” was not helpful for my self image yeah. 😢
I was so upset when they rebooted Monster High and completely nerfed my favorite character (Lagoona) into some weakling with zero confidence/self esteem. Not to mention how terrible they made every other character...ugh. Then there were the actual designs (visually) that were just too jarring, I loved the original art! To lose EAH to Descendants (which IMO is just not the same quality, sorry Disney) after that hurt so much. I really enjoyed both and I'm bummed what Mattel did to these lines. I'm still looking for an original Lagoona doll that I like but everyone seems to be selling the "new improved" doll only -- probably because the original dolls were so much better. These shows will forever live in my memories!
In the previous Monster High, Lagoona was replaced by Abbey as one of the main five, but in the reboot, she's back!!
And in the reboot, Lagoona is much prettier.
They don’t even paint Frankies stitches or bolts anymore??? Wack
They literally said: lol do it urself
I miss the old dolls I had when I was a bit younger the ones that had ACTUAL ARM JOINTS GOD GUYS WHATS A KID GUNNA DO WITH NOT MOVEABLE ARMS ONLY JOINT IN THE ARMS ARE THE SHOULDERS
Probably too "gorey"

True. I stopped it, around middle school. :( And didn’t come back to around 18/19, as a hyper-fixation. :(
I wish they would just commit to the original style. If they made mh originally like the reboot it would be fine. But I like mh for what it was
I agree i hate the new ones.

Fun fact:Frankie's voice actor Kate Higgins voiced sakura in Naruto
huh I didn't know that
@@kageyamasmilkcarton5098 well now ya know :>
I didn't know that either! Though I did realize that her voice is the same in that Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse show xD
I knew her voice sounded familiar! No wonder they were my favourite characters
And Laura Bailey is one of them. Lol they came after my time so I don’t really remember her name. Lagoona, maybe? That sounds right.
My parents actually really loved the dolls designs they said that the designs(old) were unique! Monster High is literally taught me to just be myself no matter how different I am. I am just sad nothing is going on with MH.
Same!My moms fav was ghoulia because of her nerdy style
Disney killed Monster High and Ever After High basically.
What? No! Look up on yt about Monster high cancelling.
I mean Disney definitely ripped off and killed EAH but Mattel killed MH themselves. Listening to a few ultraconservative parents was stupid when at the end of the day kids are (mostly) the ones asking for toys. Change the concept to please the parents and kids won’t like it anymore, and they’ll never ask their parents to buy them
Descendants killed ever after high but tbh descendants is waaay more childish than eah.
Star Wish idk I kinda like descendants more than ever after high
Foxy The Gachatuber I just think descendants live acting, dance numbers, and overall story is just too cringe. I preferred EAH's animated shows and movies also EAH's character designs(especially the boys) look way better than descendants.

Eh, that’s a weak argument. If anything there’s even less of an excuse to be so skinny, it’s never wrong to push against the beauty standards. I say this as someone who loves MH btw so don’t try me.
frankenstein was the scientist.
@@literallygaston2489 i hope you are joking because 1 if something dies al the water evaporates that makes the corpse so skinny that you can see the bones 2 the characters are are skinny and beautiful because people like looking at beautiful girls more than a flat chested man looking girls and 3 beauty standards🙄 i am a boy and every man or boy i see in fiction is either masculine or beatiful and you here not me whining.
@@yahyeali6388 thank you like do they think we care about this shit???
Exactly literally every other doll is like that? Why don't they complain about barbie or winx. OR LITERALLY ANY OTHER DOLL COMPANY. Maybe instead of blaming dolls, they should learn how to be a good parent and teach their children self love.
I loved how diverse the dolls were... they weren't insanely expensive, they were gorgeous, and looking through all my old dolls makes me realize how much I miss walking into a store to casually buy one.
Monster High didn't need a reboot. The initial series was fine. Even though the reboot tried to focus on the plot from the books.
The reboot rewrote the lore of how they met and how the school was built, cuz there are multiple episodes that refer to the movies and characters from them do indeed stay there afterwards
@@D1SZZ i am aware.
@Miranda Musgraves yeah. It began as 1 book called Monster High and then it got 3 sequels.
In the first book, the ghouls use make-up and such things to blend in with the humans (normies)

@@shreksgotabigonionywap6070 Yeah, the new ones don't have articulated arms anymore. Something about the arms being a 'safety hazard.' Which in my opinion, is total bs.
Monster High dolls were the only thing I ever wanted as a child, I am proud to say I have four boxes of them in my basement. 👀
I loved Spectras design, the way her limbs faded to be see through was so fascinating to me as a kid XD
This series was my childhood. My favorites were the Halloween movie and Draculara's sweet 1600th (The one with Valentine. I think that's his name -3-)
I have the car and I still love it
Yep. He was called Valentine. That was also the movie with CA Cupid: who transferred to Ever After High while that series was still running. I remember Torelai’s crossbow rampage VERY clearly lmao

I liked Abbey, and wished she had her own story. She seemed like a very interesting, but underused character. My favorite designs were Spectra and Venus
My favorite character was Howleen Wolf, Clawdeen's little sister. She had that "stuck in my older sibling(s)'s shadow" thing going on that I could relate to, and I loved her attitude honestly. My favorite design though has to be Cleo/Nefera Denile. I loved the mummy styles and their faces were fantastic, I adored it.

IF YOUR CHILD CANT HANDLE SCARY THINGS DONT LET THEM WATCH IT LIKE GODDAMN
@✨BobaLeeYT2009 im my opinion they aren't even that scary
It’s so sad how much the dolls have downgraded over the years. I LOVED these dolls as a kid! I remember getting my first doll (a lagoona blue) and being so happy to finally have one. My favourite doll that I had was my Gigi grant who I got for Christmas in 2014. I remember taking her everywhere I went and playing with her constantly. While I no longer have my dolls as I eventually grew out of them and gave them away I still have very fond memories of my days spent playing with them and making up stories. This was also definitely the start of my crippling addiction to horror.
My first one was a frankie stein
Yo my first monster high doll was cleo dawn of the dance :)
I had a whole collection of them and I got rid of them as a preteen thinking they were dumb but now I realize how valuable and how much I miss it . I never thought They’d change
These dolls were truly incredible. So much detail went into the clothing, the faces, the hair, the accessories, and everything else. I remember the dolls always came with doll stands and these really cute accessories. I loved the characters as well and I started to really appreciate design and fashion when I started loving this franchise. It's a shame that it all went downhill, but I'm glad that it had such an impact on my childhood.
Don't forget the really cool journals that came with every original. So much detail went into these dolls they created a universe without even needing a TV show.
As someone who grew up with the original dolls. When monster high first came out I was in the first gradeand my mom was being her six-year-old watching something like that but now all of these new moms are getting offended at that they were too sexy it is called monster high for a reason they are in high school not middle School not elementary School what you just made them look like or fresh 6th graders.and not to mention that all of the old monster high dolls had creativity and personalities now every single one is just a blank slate and in order to find the old monster high dolls you have to go on to eBay and Amazon.
Agreed! I used to have a ton of dolls and they were amazing :(
Me too, I agree with you💙
Just everything about it, the aesthetics, the items, stories, boxes, dolls, doll sets, movies, animation was just all so amazing and nostalgic, I miss the old monster high and the new one is just yikes
It was Karen’s who complained about the outfits and faces
One thousand Christian moms strikes again

Humans .
My mom.
No seriously so many toys I wasn’t allowed to play with because my mom thought they were “bad influences”.
@Mynti Girl Same! When monster high first came out I wasn't even allowed to watch it or have the dolls
2000s dolls were the best. People absolutely ruined them with all their judgement. saying that kids will have body dysmorphia (or other body image problems) looking at Barbies, monster high dolls etc.. was always ridiculous to me as a kid (and still is now). Dolls don’t need to portray the human body 100% realistically they’re... dolls. As a kid I would never compare myself to a doll are you kidding me. Yes they were pretty but i obviously knew it was supposed to be unrealistic. And every kid I have ever asked has answered the exactly the same. But Anyways it’s just very sad, I hope they can go back with their original/older designs. ❤️
These dolls taught me that everyone is unique, and not to be afraid of being myself.
I fell like the new “welcome to monster high stuff” is a whole different story. Frankie originally was a new girl who wants to fit in. Now it’s Draculura who wants to fit in. It has a whole new plot. It’s not the same story. It has a better plot but the old version gave us more character development.
I personally like the old one.
Me too!!! Everyone does
I think they made Draculaura the main character of the reboot because IM GUESSING her Doll always sold best, made them the most money, so they thought she is a fan favourite and used her as the face of the brand in the reboot.
I mean she literally was in EVERY MOVIE, even before the reboot. Like we could have a Movie without frankie but never without Draculaura. Which was probably also due to her making them the most money wise
But the new characters are all so similar and they just made them splattered in pink. I know it's for kids but the old ones actuslly had highschool looking clothes and they we're still pastels and girly sometimes. And also the "monsters" like Clawdeen brothers or that jello ghost buster looking guy is just odd.
Some movies we're simple, like the roller one but it thought us to respect eachother and to have determination. It was a really good movie and when I see the eletric movie I just wonder :what the hell happened
It’s based on the books
"the dolls are too skinny!!!!"
*_-they've also been rotting in the ground for years-_*
Karen: THEY’RE TOO SKINNY!
Me: Frankie is a reanimated corpse... Ghoulia is a ZOMBIE... Half of the cast are rotting corpses... WHAT DID YOU *THINK* THEY WERE GOING TO LOOK LIKE KAREN? THEY’RE. *MONSTERS!* THEY. ARE. NOT. *HUMAN.*
Also Dolls in general are very skinny
I love your name, from Mean Girls the Broadway Musical!
Lmao
They are so skinny......
Yes they all look the same cuz how could all outfits fit
Clawdeen Wolf was my favorite, I loved her style, I liked that she was strong and independent. I love that she wants to be a fashion designer. Plus wolves are actually my favorite animal so the fact that she happened to be a werewolf was just lucky.
Who else loved the beggining song of the anime “Soul Eater”.
That's what i thought omg
LAMO ME
Me, but UA-cam had to be a wuss and mute the music.
Same I just made a comment about that BC right when I head it I was like yes, soul eater

It's called "Monster High" for a reason it's about finding yourself in High School... Reason why their backstories were like that. Parents need to mind their own business this is great quality TV clearly they don't understand kids and teenagers.
They stupid basically
Do you want your kid to grow up wanting to wear fish nets, high heels, and more? I hate the humour of this show, and the execution. But I agree with the parents. It’s their kid mind your own business.
@@kayleelomas5598 The thing is... You're presenting discrimination. The things they wear, how they act, and what journeys they have gone through in the show allows character development even if they arent real they have real genuine teenage emotions like us as the season progressed they changed. All that is just horrible bias towards them and telling others what they can and can't express about WHO THEY ARE. You can agree on your opinion, but I cannot agree that parents should control who, what, and how we are... We make that decision. This is a teenage audience... I may have said "kids", but its not even directed towards 12 and under if you actually watch it. 💯
Quincy I have watched it along with ever after high, and if you look at the comment section the magority of the people watching are children. You kinda just said that you liked the show because they express themselves through their fashion, and although that’s perfectly fine for the teenage audience for the children watching they might start wanting to wear those sort of stuff and the parents might find it in appropriate. So if they want to bring their concerns to the show makers, then they should be allowed to do that without being shamed.
@@kayleelomas5598 Right. Therefore they cancelled the show just because of that. They shouldn't have. I implied that the parents had bias' towards them and how they did things which got reported in how they judged the show. Yes if I had children watching it thats another story being that at the age they understand modern day they should be Open about things discussed on the show instead of hiding them. Awareness is what I'm implying but I totally agree. 100%
oh hell no that’s not a monster high doll. they used to be so high quality, what tf happened?
@@user-nu5or1gu3i yez
maggie e. i can’t seem to even find the reboots in toy stores any more, it’s that shit
Exactly. Wtf. They used to be so much better,way more expensive but they articulated and detailed.
Honestly tho I have one newer monster high doll and her arms fall off every two seconds and her face looks weird- my old monster high dolls are 100% better
Blame it on Karen and Sharon

I had a monster high shower jacked
does anyone else remember when they crossed over monster high and ever after high with cupid? she’s still one of my favourite characters from both franchises
“Behold, this is a monster high doll”
*im literally crying that is not my childhood Monster High doll I remember*
Ik
IKR. That is not the Frankie I had My first doll was a frankie and I hate the reboots
OMG SAME
IKR!
Im so glad i recently bought the old monster high doll for $7, but i regret not buying more
*_If we get a live-action version of Monster High, then this will become a straight up Stephen King horror movie that takes to a whole new level._*
It’ll be just be like that Bratz live-action movie but with family friendly horror motif
Why do I see you Mr. Friendship in every video? First SU Roundtable, and now here?! Well.... ok
Mr. Friendship I’d pay money to see that as well as an animated series
Heeerrree's Clawdeen!!!
I hope it’d be like the music video
I really like the message that Monster High sent and all the cool special characters and their separate plots that it had. Like a cyclops girl (who is already an unusual look) dating a minotaur or zombies who are actually slow. Also the main idea that different quirks of your own body make you special and cool was shown so uniquely that I think it was the best franchise of its time.
I loved Clawdeen the best because she such a badass but I thought Cleo had the best design. She's always wearing leggings and gloves and had makeup that's very similar to ancient Egyptian makeup they put on and she's usually wearing a lot of jewelry with Egyptian symbols so I just love her design.
Someone get this man an original Frankie doll.
True
I have an OG Frankie doll. I don’t use her anymore, but alas, I don’t know his address
PLEASE AND THANK YOU
I unfortunately, have the same one he has in the video.
I have the Ball one where she’s in her blue dress and a bun which is in really good shape except for a missing hand
I am confused, how is a doll being skinny, scary to a kid?
If they don’t like dolls, then don’t buy them.
I can't think of a good name
But like- theyre M O N S T E R S
They aren't really meant to be scary though. Them being monsters is meant to make them unique. A lot of people I know don't think that they are scary, and those who have were too young to really have an opinion at the time and where mostly just told by their parents that the dolls would be too scary for them. The dolls where all about expressing what makes a person unique and about accepting your flaws and liking yourself for who you are. They were monsters so that they could take on any design and look really different from each other. I can see where parents were worried, though. The idea does sound a bit worrisome, but I think that if people look more into the dolls, and especially into the webisodes and movies, they will realize that it is actually a very nice doll line.
I can't think of a good name
Good pointS
Fun thing I've learned from working retail, there's a _lot_ of people that think the world should bend to them and will not stop throwing a fit until you give in.
I've had people threaten to call the cops on me because I won't serve them a minute til close. I've been threatened with legal action because the store I worked for didn't have the specific item they wanted. I've been shouted at and blamed because the customer ordered pick up on the wrong day and they needed it *TODAY* (not _tomorrow_ or _Sunday_ I need it TO - _DAY_ ~stomps foot~).
These people literally cannot conceive of the fact that the world doesn't revolve around them and can't take accountability for their own thoughts or actions.

Welcome to society

I’ve seen lots of doll channels (Dollightful, Doll Motion, etc) use older versions Monster High dolls to create original characters and designs. The problem with these newer dolls is that they aren’t fully articulated. You can see Frankie’s right arm is stuck in that pose, compared to an older version where her elbows and shoulders could move in any direction possible to the doll. When the animation starts becoming more complex or starts dying down, you can tell from the quality of the products rolled out by the company.
Rip -_-
And yes, this is further explained as I watch the video. Reminder to not leave comments before watching the whole video lol
wait I SWEAR on my life monster high and ever after high had a crossover episode? Like I remember it! I’m so confused.
Cupid from Monster High transferred to Ever After High, but other than that I don't think so? I didn't watch all the EAH episodes so I'm not the best person to ask- ';w;
Yes, Cupid transferred from MH to EAH around mid season 2 of Eah.
At the end of Boo York, there was a crossover hint as someone in MH was on the phone with Raven and Apple. There was gonna be a full crossover movie that got cancelled, though. I think the books have a crossover book, at least.
@@missmoony6800 Ooh
Yeah Cupid transfers from MH to EAH
How many people remember when Monster High dolls had limbs that came off and popped back on? i really miss those. and they used to make every little detail prominent but now they don't even paint Frankie's stitches...
edit: thank you so much for more than 4k likes! this is the most i've gotten on any platform. i do read the replies and think your stories are so wholesum!
i remember my sister and i would lose the hands all the time lmao
I remember always mixing and matching their limbs XD

Yes I still have mine 😌

Remember when the dolls each came with a little stand, brush, and diary😭
• l e s l i e • the children of the next generation will never understand how it felt to read them 😢
Ahhhhhdiehwkeoeo same I loved the props
Yes
THERE WERE DIARIES!? I only remember the stand and brush!
@@Flight180s there were black and white little composition notebooks with a few pages in it explaining their life or their problems
I don't know if I am the only one, but from minute 1:05 to 1:16 the music just stops because of copyright, I loved how my mind just played the song inside my head. Good times
Same here. Where's The Fair Use?
Same. I am not ashamed that I know all the lyrics to the Fright Song lmao
Cleopatra was a whole mood and I lived for it, Lagoona had a lovely design . My two faves!
My childhood was ruined when they removed joints on the new dolls and made the movies into trash
Yeah the old movies were so amazing :(
Boo York was my jam, I still have a lot of the movies. But the new style ones are garbage
THEY REMOVED JOINTS?????
Beatriz H yeah now they only have the basic few points
13 Wishes was my shit, not gonna lie.
Honestly, I think Mattel just screwed Monster High and Ever After over with Enchantimals. We need to make a petition to bring back Ever After and Monster High! Why did they have to STOP those 2 franchises to replace with the STUPID Enchantimals? If Karens are complaining, then they should have their kids watch the bland, no plot, 10 IQ character show known as Enchantimals instead of the glory that is Monster High and Ever After :I
Yeah uh ya know Disney-
Descendants (it’s a Disney movie) IT RIPPED OFF EVER AFTER HIGH- Mattel was probably like “yeah no we’re not competing with Disney-“
I love descendants but I do miss ever after high .-.
The reason why Ever After ended is because it was ripped off, Descendants. Hasbro knew they couldn’t compete with Disney so they ended the series.
Monster High became unpopular after they changed it for the parents, and EAH couldn't compete with Descendants, especially after Disney moved their toy manufacturing to Hasbro (originally, Mattel made their toys). First Mattel was with Disney, but when they were suddenly a competing company, there was no way for EAH to keep up. Especially since Decendants did a lot of the same marketing to compete with it directly. It's kinda sad.
I can't think of a good name. I misread it as “monster high became popular after the change” and I was ready to fight you.
monster high is coming back to release 2 new dolls! If we hype them enough they may even bring the series back
the only thing i didnt like about this show is a mistake that everyone makes with Dracula, Dracula's daughter in this case.
WE (Romanians) DONT HAVE A (frikkin) RUSSIAN ACCENT
thank you 🥰
If I remember right, it was established in one of the movies, the one where they go into MH Hollywood to find the vampire queen or something, that Draculaura is actually adopted.
@@ChaoticNalilitoMC Yeah plus idk if this was in a book or something, but the way that happened is that Draculaura was on the brink of dying, so Dracula turned her into a vampire to save her life.
Adopted Dad of the Year award in the mail for Drac.
@@Cheetahgirl_Studios I never got a chance to read all the books. Started reading the first one but only got a few chapters in before I had to return it to my friend.
I actually read the Monster High books by Lisi Harrison way before I ever new about the dolls or web-series/movies. They were the first novels I ever read and enjoyed in their entirety, I read them as they came out and they have a huge place in my heart.
I loved the books so much! They were so different from the series, they always felt more aimed at older teens than the show which felt more aimed at younger teens and I always though of the books and the series as two different thing, like yeah they had the same characters for the most part but they were so extremely different! Major influence on my childhood!!!
damn, monster high was so good before the reboot. the dolls were so detalized, they teached kids that they should accept themselves, their slogan was "be yourself. be unique. be a monster."
but this reboot ruined my childhood! they re-made their backstories, made them so childish. they removed ghoulia and spectra and replaced them with ari hauntington. why would they change a smart geek zombie and ghostly gossiper for some shitty ghost pop-star girl?
everything good ends when creators trying to make their creations more childish.
Right?! What even were those last two movies...
So true! I loved the old monster high...
@i.am.peachy And Casta!
Huhh noooo! Ghoulia is my favorite character, she is so relatable to me and her design is so cute!! :(
They removed Ghoulia and Spectra !? Why ???
When they rebooted they just lost so much quality, the faces got 'prettified' and that made me mad. I loved the more 'spooky' faces with the badass angry eyebrows etc.
I still collect the dolls, but only the older ones. Operetta, Venus and Bonita femur are my faves.
Mattel has done a damn good job with the new barbie things, like having a mainline cheap doll with a prosthetic leg, the two in wheelchairs that come with a ramp to make your doll house more accessible. The different body types just being added to all normal lines is just awesome. They have added the most amazing articulation too.
Bonita dolls are rare af in england. I have one and dont know what to do with these.
They took away the awesome articulations from the Monster High dolls and gave them to the new barbies...
I just wish that the Ken dolls had articulation/joints. That's one of the reasons why I prefer the monster high boy dolls than the ken dolls. The boys were hella poseable.
What makes me mad the most is they changed Cleo DeNile to be a basic dumb rich girl. She is my favorite character and they choose to erased her sassy personality.
Yeah they basically Barbie-fied Monster High (and don't get me wrong I love Barbie) and therefore alienated the whole fanbase
"I present to you, Monster High"
*Plays the opening to Soul Eater*
Monster high hit at the correct time for me. I was 10 at the time and I just fell in love, especially because I was a goth alternative kid. Still am goth/alternative ngl. It was just so different and refreshing but it also represented how I liked to 'dress.' Draculaura and Skelita were my favorites. Draculaura cause she was a Gothic lolita vampire. Skelita because she was based off of Dia de Los Muertos and as a Mexican it was great to see representation of my culture. I genuinely lived this series and I was said when they changed the dolls.
"Behold, a monster high doll"
Me: stares at it in disgust. Looks at the OG dolls in my room, "why... why did you have to go?"
Mood, Bro.
This is the reason why it went down. I feel bad now.
I feel bad for not collecting all of them now

@@rocky_mochiii yikes! That's was a good one. R.i.p Draculora. But yeah, one time I bought a box that had all 6 characters in their original outfits, and the ghoulia doll was already broken at the knee.

I remember most my childhood I never wanted to BE a character, I always wanted to be in the World of a series I enjoyed so my childhood is littered with Self Insert OCs lmao, but I remember Vividly wanting to BE Frankie. She was one of my favorites just cause I could see part of myself in her and wanted to be like her in the sense of her kindness and acceptance of anyone she met. She is the first step in becoming who I am today
as a kid, draculaura really catched my eye, I was OBSESSED with her to the point I would asked my parents to buy me every single version of her, I would even throw tantrums if they refused lmao her two-tone hair, her makeup, clothes, she was a true e-girl icon and seven old me was really into it, and I still do, she would always be very appealing
I personally blame her for my current aesthetic and my taste on girls ngl
I liked her cause of her clothes. Her name reminded me of my middle name too! Ironic how I became an alt. Lolita enthusiast, much like her. 😳
SAAAAMMME
SAME OMG I LOVED HER
My favourite was Frankie Stein! I could relate to her so much over how she was learning new things and making friends and was the new girl at school!
She was my fav
oh my god i used to own like a million, and watched every single movie and episode, my life was DEVOTED to monster high. the new dolls look so dumb, stupid karens went and ruined the cool designs :/
sid ahart same
same,they were the best dolls :c
Ikr and I still watch the movies
seriously
Who's karen? xD
I remember being obsessed with like catty noir, and beggggged my dad to buy me the doll, now she just sits in my old toy bin and cries ;-;
I Loved Catty Noir!!! I was her for Halloween in 5th grade!!
i literally have no idea HOW i found monster high when i was like 8. i just remembered one day i was on monster high website and was watching the shows. like how did i find it??? idk but clawdeen was my absolute favorite. old monster high was the best. i have the movies and wigs and clothes and skirts and dolls. karens ruin everything. theyre not that cool anymore. :(
The irony is that Monster High is dead now. D...d'ya get it?
Yea... Sure 🤣
I picked a bad time to get into the series...
@@TommyDeonauthsArchives I feel you. By the time I could buy my own stuff they were dead. I luckily snagged one (Kala Mer'ri) that was on major clearance but that's it. Luckily I have a friend who grew out of them and had a LOT of dolls
@RainbowPie No sister, I'm afraid the party died in 2016. Such a sad time it was...
@@thapelosishi my first doll was the dead tired Draculaura. I remember going to Toys R us and buying her with my mom.

I’m surprised he didn’t mention just how different the book series was compared to the show’s and doll’s characters/storyline. Also, they do exist in hard cover but buying hardcover books in a set like that isn’t generally a thing.
No one:
Me: crying because the arms and hands no longer come off in the new design and they no longer come with a stand, a brush, and a diary. 😭😭
Omg😭. I used to love reading their diaries 💕🥰. I haven't seen the new dolls yet tho.
YES! why did monster high do this- i miss the old designs
Brooke McKenzie wait they don’t come with brushes and diary’s? WAIT WHAT
Lunaaa xX i always lost the diaries
mousie i still have my venus mcflytrap diary 💀
Shame how far it's fallen. I remember begging my mom to buy me a Monster High doll as a kid, and eventually she did. Ah, Operetta. You were the start of my crippling addiction to theater.
OMG same my first doll was Operetta as well and it makes sense bc my favorite movie is Phantom of the Opera
My first doll was also Operetta my best friend got it for me for my birthday when I was like 10 😂
Operetta was amazing in design
OMG SAME.
My first and only MH doll was Rochelle Goyle, who was promptly destroyed by my sister.
my mom: No you cant watch Monster High
Netflix: *your words are useless*
Monster high taught me to love myself for who I am even though I have always been different to others and without monster high, I would be nothing. I love Draculaura so much because she was always there for her friends and I loved her personality. I think that Casta had the best character design because the purple and orange sparkles from the belt and ruffles in her dress from the colours in her hair look gorgeous and I love her.
I'm so mad that their new dolls' quality is garbage. They removed the joints making them basically only a decoration.
i used to collect them as a kid and dude i thought i broke my doll the first time the arm popped off
They stopped the whole marketing alltogether, i can't find a single doll in the store, it makes me really 😥
They're waiting on them to die just like Ever after High. I still have the original run Ashlynn and Hunter combo, and the quality used to be amazing.
i never understood how some parents hate monster high but still let their kids watch shows like Winx for some reason-
Lmfaoo don’t do winx!! 😂 but you’re absolutely right and it’s crazy to me because “Barbie” is the doll that puts out that body image that everybody got surgery done for.. it all started off the reference of a Barbie doll figure
@@imariwalker7248 completely agree! I loved winx but you’re right ab that 😂
@@imariwalker7248 yeah your right Barbie is the only doll brand out of Barbie, MH, EAH, BRATZ, etc. where people actually got surgery to look like her if anything parents should just look at Barbie
@@nataliawashington872 Hi, i'm your resident Barbie defender. Barbie dolls are inspiration to many kids and former kids including me, as it encourages a good relationship with carreer dreams. As a young Southeast Asian kid, Barbie was never a catalyst in any of my and my peer's body-related self esteem issues, it was always due colonialism and society's expectations. The people who get extreme and unhealthy cosmetic/plastic surgery to become "barbie-like" are all adults with a problem (and extra money), they don't even look like Barbie, it's all just extreme proportions. Adults, once again, ruining it for the children.
Say what u want about wind but don't come for Bloom or Musa or stella
And so far, ever since Monster High's downfall, not dolline has lived up to the same hype 😔
I had the ds game for this show and I would never stop playing it. I had about every single doll they made. It was my obsession.
