Good value for 2 movies
I was pleaseantly surprised by the fact that this DVD includes two features....Friday Night Frights, and Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love??. Mattel could have easily released them seperately and charged more but they chose to put them together which I think is pretty cool. Both movies come on one disc which I think makes it easier for viewing since you don't have to change it out to watch one feature or the other. I will give a small synopsis of each movie (I don't want to give too much away).
In Friday Night Frights we see the "ghouls" learning the power of being true to (and believing in) yourself when they take on the task of playing on the Monster High "scream" team in the Skulltimate Roller Maze after the guys on the team get hurt. At first the girls face opposition (tradition states only boys can play) but they never give up and eventually win the respect and support of their schoolmates and even their rivals. I like the message of this dvd .... it is totally girl power. It...
Voltageous!
This was the best DVD set ever for Monster High fans. Both movies were well written, and had great interesting storylines and beautiful animation. I am an adult fan, however my 9 year old god daughter is also into Monster High. These movies are clean and appropriate for young children of any age, but at the same time have enough jokes and things that will go over kid's heads to keep the adults interested.
While "Why Do Ghouls Fall In Love" is a romance, it is clean enough for the children, yet having your heart broken is a storyline all the adults watching can relate to.
Friday Night Frights does have a few scenes where Clawd is somewhat possessive of Draculaura and telling her what to do. It is a good opportunity to open up a dialogue with older children about healthy relationships. At the end he comes around, so younger children probably do not need this kind of talk and will just see it as a kid's movie as it is meant to be.
Highly recommended...
Monster High crazy!
My wife and daughter have emmersed themselves in the Monster High concept and seem to be enjoying all the different facets of it. I have to admit the dolls seem interesting and a nice break away from the boring Barbie concept. I didn't watch the movies, but they did and found them, in my daughter's estimation, "awesome!" They look forward to more MH movies.As for the buying experience, the DVD arrived in a timely manner and in excellent condition.
