Common Sense Says

Monster dolls share positive messages, wear iffy clothing.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Monster High: Escape from Skull Shores is a made-for-TV movie featuring the characters from the Monster High doll line. The Monster High characters are not your ordinary teens; they're ghouls, goblins, and ghosts, though they're more silly than sinister. The movie has a strong message about tolerance, but it's partially undermined by the over-the-top sexy outfits and makeup sported by the female characters, who are otherwise pretty decent role models. And with only some mild references to adult relationships and a little cartoon violence, this short tale should be OK for grade-schoolers and up.
