true colors

"You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through"

Monster high freakyfusions was finally on netflix. i admit I'm not their target audience- most of the monster high movies I cannot watch for more then a few minutes before getting annoyed by their on sided personalities.
but freakyfusions- i had been looking foward to seeing.

I work at target and we have a HUGE selection of monster high dolls. they all look like something you would see on a Paris couture runway (which is why this is my 3rd monster high pic). none more so then the freaky fusion monsters; the moth man/skeleton, the mermaid/ghost the centaur/pixi and the sweet sensitive unicorn/zombie- Neighthan Rot.
They arrive as the new kids, a close knit group that has been transferred through several schools. (transferred? kicked out? no one really knows...)

Neighthan Rot seems to be the most open to making friends with the main characters, while the others just seem angry.
Which they had good reason to be, since the main characters assumed these new kids to be unapproachable because they were different.

then there's the main plot about a malfunctioning time travel machine that turns 6 of the main characters in to 3 'fusions' (so they can gain a little empathy for their bi-monster classmates). 

Frankie Stein to the rescue, as usual the level headed daughter of Frankenstein is the one who gets the rest of the cast to realize how much better they can be if they work together.

this movie was not that bad, and i assume this was meant to help biracial/multiracial children. Much like President Obama and other celebrities, if you are half (one race) and half (another race) the first questions you get are "which parent is which race?" "how did they meet?" "why do you look more like one parents and not the other?" so i hope that the bi racial kids who see this movie can relate on some level.
