Monster High 2

It was right at 12 months ago that I watched 'Monster High", where Clawdeen, half human and half monster, longed to get into the school where humans were not allowed. With some help she was able to get in and prove herself worthy.

This one, "2", is a year later and was filmed about a year later, so all the returning cast members are of course a year older. The story begins as the new school year is starting.

A main theme is the choosing of a new student prefect and in competition are Clawdeen and a new student. They don't get along well at all and the friends of Clawdeen have to be inventive to keep her in the race.

There are a couple of sub-plots and the movie is nothing but a fluff of a movie to kill time. As with the first one there is a message of learning to accept those with differences.

This is a musical and for me, a musician, the most enjoyable parts of the movie. None of the singers are outstanding but all are passable. It sounded to my ears that some of the singing was autotuned. But they are high energy and fun.

By all measures a quickly forgettable movie but still entertaining if you are in the mood.

At home on DVD from my public library.
