Watch The Exciting New Animated Series “Monster High” Now!

“Monster High” is the new animated series to check out, and it’s sure to be a hit with kids and parents alike. The premise of the series is pretty simple: high school students who are also monsters attend school together. But what makes this series so special is the non-binary character, the incredible queer voice cast that brings these characters to life, as well as the beautiful animation and production values. So, should you watch “Monster High”? That’s up to you, but I think it’s worth a try!

Welcome To “Monster High”

Nickelodeon and Mattel have partnered to create a 26-episode animated series called “Monster High” based on the popular toy franchise of the same name and echoing the movie of the same name released earlier this month.

The series follows four iconic characters from the franchise, namely:

• Clawdeen Wolf is a half-human and half-werewolf thrilled to join Monster High despite the challenge of being a half-monster in a school of full-monster students.
• Draculaura is the daughter of Dracula. She seems like the perfect dictionary definition of a monster, but she actually hides a deep desire to become a witch, which is strictly forbidden in the monster world.
• Frankie Stein, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, was brought to life a few days ago by their scientist parents, and is figuring out who they are and who they want to be.
• and Deuce Gorgon

They will be joined by other characters like:

• Lagoona Blue grew up with an ocean nymph mother and a sea monster father in an ancient underwater Mayan Castillo, so sweet yet ferocious Lagoona doesn't know much about life on land.
• Cleo de Nile, a mummy monster who knows she's destined for greatness if only others would admit it.
• Spectra Vondergeist, a ghostly girl who makes up for her translucent appearance with her chatty personality. All she wants is to be seen!
• Toralei Stripe. Originally from an elite monster family, Toralei is the "bad girl" of the school. Old fashioned and brave, Toralei is committed to her cause of preserving monster society.

The series will focus on the school and personal lives of the characters at the eponymous Monster High, a school for monsters.

While the series will undoubtedly be full of excitement and adventure, it will also offer viewers the opportunity to watch the characters discover who they are. They will learn to accept their differences as monsters and grow up to be the fierce and fearless beasts they are meant to be.

The characters are all richly developed and lovable in their own ways, and it will be a joy to watch them navigate their way through life at Monster High.
