    The character designs have no reason being THIS good especially when their so convoluted and decorative but they pull it off. Lizzie has her hair styled with a heart shaped Bump with a crown like head piece holding it all together. Why? Because she can! Raven has ornate silver gorget adorning her shoulders. Why? Because of course she would! The characters outfits and overall looks are so unapologeticly themselves while simultaneously being very cohesive.

      Yes! People say she’s just some party girl but it really seemed more like she is that way because she is afraid of her future. Rather than “I wanna party before I sleep because sleeping is boring!” It was more like she wanted to be able to live her own life before she didn’t have much of a choice.

    Briar Beauty definitely starts out as a shallow character as just a party girl but as you go, you start to get a bit more depth with her when you look at the scene in thronecoming where she tells apple off about their destinies.
    The conversation reveals that sure, she wants to live all she can before she sleeps, but also that she has had the looming fact that she will basically be dead for years when she has her story. Her showing dangerous and risky behaviors shows her desperation for a feeling of living and her fear of what’s to come. This shows she has thought about this for a long time, way before legacy day, and that she accepted it, showing a certain level of maturity. I might be wrong, but she is not as shallow of a character as you make her out to be. Her fear and anxiety of what society tells her she has to do changes her entire behavior and how she perceives her life.
    Just my thoughts

    I just realised that if Apple gets her destiny, everybody else will be devastated. Ashlynn will lose her true love, hunter. Raven will be ruined. All the other stories will be forced to go in their original path since the main story did. And Apple will lose all her "friends", if she even considers them as such. Even if they aren't dead they will resent her. I personally dislike both her mother and the headmaster as they forced her to be a whiny brat. And snow white gets everything she needs.

After Daring's attempt to kiss her fails, he realizes he is not Apple's Prince Charming. Apple starts choking in her sleep, so Darling attempts CPR and her kiss breaks the curse, confirming that Darling is Apple's destined true love."

    Ok so are we gonna ignore how when raven was looking into the book seeing what her future would have turned out apple was commanding the guard to throw her into prison? And then like one page later she was chained up from head to toes looking all terrefied? Back when I saw it as a kid that scene gave me chills because apple looked so cold while doing it, I mean in the show she seems persistent about following her destiny but at the end of the show she seems more open minded about the whole thing,but the book literally showed us at what lenghts she was willing to go in order to achieve it, even after knowing raven for so long and knowing that she signed the book against her own beliefs in order for her to have her happy ending, and if im not wrong ever after high follows the tales of the grimm brother's and in the snow white tale the evil queen dies, so that scene where raven is looking all terrefied and covered in chains is way blood chilling now, but apple wouldn't be capable of that.....would she?. But then again this theory kinda gets debunked because later in the series is established that the book they had was fake and the original one was in wonderland so probably the things that they showed both apple and Raven were illusions.

    This is so embarrassing to say but I loved this show. It was actually good but sadly never reached it's full potential because executive meddling squandered the story.
    Also, Dexter and Daring are 100% no cap the funniest character in the show. They also served as excellent foils to each other and had pretty cool foil relationships with Raven and Apple. Dexter is awkward but kind and he's into Raven, as social outcast. Compare that to Daring who's confident and popular but super vain. Him and Apple are like a power couple and it's a really cool mirror to Raven and Dexter's relationship.
    As a dude myself, I really enjoyed seeing these funny and interesting male characters on a show that had way more females because it's meant to sell dolls to little girls -which really make me question why I like it.- The show sort of shafted the male characters because they didn't fit the target demographic but I would have loved to see these two get more screentime. They were really good character and deserved it, gender demographics be danged!

    So, about these three goats- they're actually not supposed to be based on the 3 little pigs; but instead, a lesser-known folktale called "The Three Billygoats Gruff." It's a story about three goats and a mean and hungry troll who lives under a bridge and wants to eat them. There's a character that you can see in an episode that's a reference to that troll. I think it's in an episode about how it's summer and super hot, and you can see the troll chilling under a palm underneath the bridge to the school. It was very memorable to me.
    Either way, the pigs and the goats are different characters- just similar because they both come in trios.

So for hypothetically speaking, if darling charming is apart of apple's story, then she will be the charming chosen for the role in snow whites tory. and if daring is apart of rosabella's story, then he will be the charming chosen for the role in beauty and the beasts.

      It's because a lot of boys, especially when their children, will dismiss a show or cartoon when it featured a primarily female cast. Mostly because they assume the topics of the show wont have anything to interest them.

    I actually did enjoy this video. I caught Ever After High by chance on Nick and I thought it was cute. One day I found it on Netflix and well was it. I watched the crap out of it. I like all the of characters you like, but I also liked Brier. Granted her motavation was tacked on as all heck. Anyway. I'm coming back, if you're coming back.

    I never had an Ever After High,yet I loved the show a lot. I was truly looking forward to that Ever After High x Monster High crossover... Which sadly we never got. Tho there's material of it.
    After watching a video I can say for certain that what happened to this show was Disney's fault,I mean don't you find funny how the show stopped not long after Descendants came out? It's truly sad how Disney doesn't let anyone else have fairytale stuff anymore...

    I love Ever After High and I’m soooo sad it ended. I don’t know if I’m being picky but I did notice some plot holes for example Apple (the daughter of Snow White) and Daring ( the son of Prince Charming) are supposed to be together and Daring’s story is to kiss Apple in order to save her which totally makes sense. But if Prince Charming kissed Snow White and they lived happily ever after doesn’t that mean that Apple’s dad should be Prince Charming and Daring and Apple should be related. Even though I know that that’s not the case in the series shouldn’t it be like that and so therefore its kind of a bit weird. Also in one of the seasons they mentioned that the Evil Queen and Snow White went to school together but isn’t the evil queen snow white’s step mother???? Again i know its not completely like the original story but likeee….Just my opinion tho still obsessed with the show though!

    At first I was bitter that this took over monster high but after watching I fell in love with the lore and the interpretations of the children of fairy tale characters. So much so that I’m bummed it got cancelled because of disney’s descendants who had so much potential but was more aesthetically pleasing than in depth story arcs
