Monsters once lived in hiding - even from each other - because they were afraid they would be in danger if humans knew they existed. But Draculaura, the daughter of Dracula, along with her best ghoul friends, dreamt of a school where everyone was welcome and accepted for who they are. Determined to make their dream come true, the ghouls travel the world on an epic adventure to recruit new students. But even in this amazing place, there’s drama: a villainess zombie is spreading trouble rather than friendship, and every student must live with the fear that their secret will be revealed. Now the ghouls must save their school so that every monster has a place where they belong and their uniqueness is celebrated! (Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)

The 14th Monster High film is unfortunately a pretty insensitive reboot. While the last "normal" installment of the film series in the original Great Scarrier Reef animation was released back in March 2016, this new reboot arrived in August 2016. There hasn't been enough time for a new generation to grow up or for the original fan base to tire. Yet a new origin came out, Draculaura became the main character, Frankie lost the basic hallmark of a newcomer, the MH school was built from scratch... Some of the old characters were completely gone (Rochelle, Operetta, Robecca...), others were rewritten (Venus, Deuce), the relationships between them were reset (there was no romance left), and the animation style and the collectibles also changed. Moreover, the basic feel-good feeling that was inherent in MH had disappeared. No clever Munsters or Vampirina-style genre play, just a blind evolutionary branch.
