Monster High, characters

There are many characters who study at Monster High School. Female characters are classified as Ghouls and male characters are classified as Monsters. Characters are usually the sons and daughters of monsters known from popular fiction.

There are six main characters:

Frankie Stein- a girl with white hair with black stripes, a face the color of ice cream with mint. Her body is made up of many different parts. In addition, she is slightly awkward, kind and sympathetic with everyone.
Claudine Wolff- is the daughter of a werewolf. She is white and fluffy, sociable and sweetheart, loves fashionable clothes and enjoys fashion design.
Cleo de Nile- is the daughter of the mummy of Ramses de Nile. She is the captain of the wrestling sports team. Cleo prefers accessories with light gold bandages. She has a boyfriend named Deuce Gorgon.
Draculaura- vampire, daughter of Count Dracula. She is vegan and faints at the sight of blood.
Gulia Yelps- the daughter of a zombie, personal assistant to Cleo de Nile. She is very smart, but can only speak the zombie language, which consists of moans and wheezes.
Blue Lagoon- the daughter of Jill-man (a creature from the Black Lagoon) and a sea nymph. The lagoon speaks with an Australian accent and can communicate with aquatic animals. She has a relationship with Gil Webber.

Monster High toys

The main toys are Monsters High dolls. The dolls have many skin tones, including blue, green, orange, and pink. Each doll has its own style and personality, and each has the attributes of the monsters to which it belongs (for example, fangs, stitches, wolf ears, fins, bandages, snakes). Each doll comes with a unique haircut and unique outfit, although sometimes a piece of clothing or accessory can be reused with minor modifications to another doll. Some dolls are only sold in a few packages or in sets. Almost always, there are diaries or magazines for dolls in the package with the doll.

Dolls usually belong to a thematic series. A series is a collection of dolls, fashion bags, toys or combinations of dolls and sets that have a specific thematic focus, for example, beach, fashion, fantasy, shopping mall, party, sports, school.

There are several series of toys that complement the Monster High dolls. The most famous of them are "Create a Monster", "Inner Monster", "Plush Friends".

"Create a Monster", "Inner Monster" is a series of doll parts, clothes and accessories. The lines are divided into starter packs, add-on packs and play packs, each of which is special. These are, one might say, constructors for playing dolls. The dolls assembled in this way look constructively and visually the same as ordinary dolls.

Accessories for dolls are almost guaranteed to be interchangeable, but doll clothes are interchangeable only in some cases.

Based on the cartoons, the Monster School play set has been released for sale, which is a house for dolls on 2 floors and has six play zones, which fans of cartoons will immediately recognize. In fact, there are a lot of play sets on sale: Monster High Kitchen Set for Girls, Frankie Stein Dressing Table, Terrible Housekeeping Furniture Set, Draculaura Machine, Blue Lagoon Shower and others.

Songs and music "Monster High"

The main song in the monster school cartoons "Song of Horror" is the original Monster High song, used mainly as an intro song for cartoons, that is, the song that sounds at the beginning of the cartoon when the credits are shown. The song appeared in this form in May 2010, but in its full form it appeared only in August 2010, at the same time a music video was released.

In June 2013 a new hit song "We Are Monster High" was presented. The song was uploaded to the main website on top of the "Fright Song", even the lyrics of which were removed. Thus, the new song "We Are Monster High" replaced the "Song of Fear".

The most "musical" cartoon about the school of monsters is, of course, "School of Monsters: Boo York, Boo York". It is in it that a musical created by monster schoolgirls for the celebrations of the comet's arrival in the city of Boo York is shown. The soundtrack for this cartoon has as many as ten original songs.

Public criticism and perception

In Western countries, about the "School of Monsters" usually sounds the same criticism as about the Barbie doll and its analogues: this is the unnatural sexuality of the characters, the imposition of excessive thinness on the fans, the cult of irrepressible consumption. It is also debated, as has been the case lately, that Monster High's characters are frivolous, mostly white, wealthy teenagers.

For example, a certain blogger Ellie Lipkin gives some kind of reference criticism: “The brand has good inclinations. It certainly has the potential to convey to adolescents the ideas of the normality of differences between people and the wider boundaries of acceptance. But, alas, everything turned out the other way around. The main characters walk around in high-heeled shoes, tighten wasp waists and prefer super feminine hairstyles. The next chewing on the themes of popularity, fashion, rivalry, attractiveness in the eyes of the opposite sex and sexuality in general brings only disappointment ... "

Critics of Monster High in Russia largely agree with Westerners in denying Monster High characters who are dressed up and wear bright makeup like girls with low social responsibility. However, in our country, the main complaint is still different. The main arguments of critics from Russia are rejection of games with the dead, violation of moral prohibitions, instilling ideas about the magnificence of the afterlife and the usualness of "evil spirits" in the normal world. Most parents are worried about the games of children with toy vampires and skeletons. Therefore, the main objects of parental criticism are the characters closest to that world - the Skeleton Calaveras, the vampire Dracula, the mummy Cleo de Nile and Frankie Stein covered in scars. The rest of the relatively neutral characters are of little concern to critics. For many, only the formal signs of monsters matter. They say that the daughters bought the coveted Draculaura with the obligatory condition to erase the doll's vampire fangs.

Despite the above criticism, in general, both toys and animation were received by the public quite condescendingly and benevolently. Moreover, in our country, where all these Dracula, Frankenstein, mummies, ghosts of the opera and other ghouls are not very popular and known. We have our own witches, water, goblin and kikimors, and in our popular cartoons Vitya from the House of Pioneers will always find a common language with his own Grandmother Yaga.

Over the past few years, the popularity of the cartoon Monster High has been growing. The characters in the cartoon are very specific and not understandable to everyone, especially adults. Therefore, there is a lot of controversy about the school of monsters, in which children and adolescents are in love with unconsciousness. Who and why invented the school of monsters? You have probably asked this question more than once. And if you are a true connoisseur, you will be interested in the history of monsters and reviews about the cartoon.
Usually, books and cartoons appear first, and only then dolls and other themed toys. The history of the creation of Monster High dolls is completely different. The toys were created by Mattel (manufacturer of Barbie) back in 2010. As soon as the dolls appeared on the shelves, they became the favorites of the children and were instantly sold out.
Now Monster High is a whole industry. Short and full-fledged cartoons, books, comics, T-shirts and clothes with the image of their favorite characters appeared. Every little princess dreams of becoming the happy owner of a bright and shocking monster high doll.
But what about the half that is against the school of monsters, against vampires and werewolves in children's cartoons? After all, our parents cannot understand what teenagers find in "terrible" monsters when there are kinder characters. Parents are especially afraid of evil accessories, for example, an aigrobik (telephone) or a coffin bed. What are the reviews of psychologists?
Psychologists say that the monster high will not do much harm to the child's psyche, especially if everything is done according to the rules. For example, dolls with a coffin bed are allowed for children after 14 years old, on other dolls there is a +6 limit. Parents will do more harm to the teenager by depriving him of toys that his peers play. Because it can have a bad effect on adaptation in the children's team. Remember, in childhood we were not forced to play with straw toys, which were played by grandparents. Each time has its own currents, its toys and heroes.
Experts say that the parents themselves are to blame for the excessive addiction of children to cartoons, because they often try to keep their child busy by watching TV. As a result, teenagers cannot live without their habit. Experts advise spending more time talking with children, then this addiction will not arise.
Monster High dolls are very attractive, fashionable, and most importantly, many of them are endowed with positive qualities. Of course, as in life, there are those who do bad things, sarcasm and gossip. It turns out that the cartoon teaches you to be friends, keep secrets, help others, take care of animals and show you how not to do it. Even controversial heroes have qualities worth learning.
Only from the outside it may seem that this is a useless, harmful cartoon, but if you look closer, there are many interesting and necessary things. Parents should watch several episodes with their children, discuss them, talk and direct the child in the right direction.
In fact, Monster High has many advantages, and you are convinced of this, in order to be sure I finally advise you to watch the cartoon. And I found only one drawback for myself, this is a high price, and then if you buy a doll in an online store, it will be cheaper.
