Monster High
What's the Story?
MONSTER HIGH is a continuation of a popular franchise. The kids of famous monsters and creatures navigate high school drama while using their supernatural, ghoulish powers. The school is full of "mon-stars, living their beast life." Led by Headmistress Bloodgood, Draculaura, Clawdeen, Howleen Wolf, Nefara de Nile, Frankie and their friends go on funny and mysterious adventures. From conducting illegal witch spells, to learning about what being a monster really means, and everything in between -- you never know what the friends will do next. Friends and frenemies, alive and undead alike must all co-exist at this unique high school. Being a teen monster is complicated, especially when you have a reputation to maintain.
Is It Any Good?
This is a funny and clever animated series, geared towards tween audiences. Mattel's Monster High franchise continues in the newest Monster High show, packed with monster-themed storylines. The show's fun animation style is bold and eye-catching. Important themes of the show include friendship, individuality and identity, as well as self-empowerment.
