hi, i'm ceci balagot.
hi, i'm nayah damasen.
hi, i'm miia harris.
and we're the cast of 'monster high: the movie'.
and we're here with young hollywood.
I think that if I could switch characters--I love clawdeen, love her to death--but if I
could switch, I would probably be draculaura, because she's just, I feel like draculaura's so
effortlessly cool in a way that I cannot possibly fathom being, and it would be so exciting.
why do I want to be headmistress bloodgood?
oh of course you do...
she's a cool character, and the actor is just is so fierce. the costume,
the makeup, it's, it's one of the coolest.
I think I would love to play deuce. just, like, a little--thank you. he's
just always wearing those cool guy glasses with a beanie, and he's just,
he is effortlessly cool in a different way that, you know, draculaura is. love her. yeah, he is.
misunderstood.
for sure. and I want to know how it feels, like, to have the snakes just
chilling. like, I wonder if he talks to his snakes, you know what I mean? like,
if they have good conversations and stuff like that. I want to experience.
does it have a name?
yeah.
the first week of filming for monster high, basically we didn't do any shooting. it was
just what we call now boot camp, where we woke up early to get used to the hours that we were going
to be filming, and we basically, from sundown to sunset, learned all the dances all together,
um, practiced all the dances, and then ran them with songs. we're also testing what the
outfits were going to look like, testing what the makeup was going to look like. that first
week is very tough. but we came out, like, amazing afterwards. I think it was necessary.
it set the tone, for sure. really, really prepared us properly. and also we were working with lots of
professional dancers who really made us look even better than we did. I know, for me, personally,
if you'll watch it, you'll notice sometimes it just cuts away,
and you wonder why. I know why. so, that was a really new thing to navigate, um, clumsy dancing.
I was really excited. I mean, I grew up with musicals, as most of us did, so being able
to do it every single day with some people, and it was great bonding experience for us.
yes, for sure.
so, just being able to do it with you guys,
and we were surrounded by good people, like, the right people.
yes, I mean, we got to eat lunch together every day. it's just,
like, such a, like, a party every day.
yeah. exactly.
I'm going to hang out with my friends at rehearsal.
right. so, when we talk about it, it sounds hard, but we had a lot of fun.
yeah, it was, it was hard work, but the passion was there. everybody was just really excited about
the project. there's not one bad apple. we're all just, like, so excited and pumped up to be there.
yeah. I think this movie radiates love, like you were saying. I know when I watch it,
I feel really, really warm, and I feel like I can see the love that we have for each other. and the
movie preaches about, not only loving yourself, but loving everybody for exactly who they are.
and I hope that, when the little monsters are out there watching the movie, they also feel that love
for themselves. even though we may not personally know each other, we, we have love for everybody.
and I think also, besides the musicals and all the monsters and everything, like,
there's gonna be a certain group of people who does not care about the musical numbers,
they just wants to see the fashion. and I love those people just as much.
okay, like, you're also valid.
I'm so excited for people to really explore the personal styles for this.
okay.
frankie or ceci would not do that.
yeah. yeah.
clawdeen or miia... clawdeen would do it, but only because she forgot to check the
time. she would be sprinting after she realized, because she would be the one to do the mistake.
yeah. draculaura? draculaura.
she wouldn't be sprinting at all.
no, she might fly...
"oh, I'm five minutes late," and then slowly, leisurely, even if she could fly--
she wouldn't even fly. she'll just... walk.
absolutely.
okay. both me and frankie. both me and frankie. I love to, like, when we're, like,
doing a scene or something, and I have, like, snuck my phone on the set, I'll just take, like,
a quick, like, under-the-chin something--you've seen me do that. yeah, I'll take a quick
under-the-chin selfie. and then frankie has just discovered phones for the first time.
right. yeah. it's nayah for me. I'm definitely the one taking more pictures. draculaura can't
see herself in any reflection, so why would she take pictures? yeah.
um, I think, for me, it would be clawdeen,
because she's kind of starting to get in tune with her human side for the first time. so
I think she'd be really interested to see what the angles look like as, as a human.
oh, um, clawdeen.
clawdeen. whoa, okay, whoa whoa whoa. clawdeen, frankie, and draculaura.
no, versus miia.
oh, versus--oh yeah.
not versus you guys.
oh yeah. all of our characters are dressed to the nines.
100 percent.
yeah, but miia versus clawdeen,
um, one of them will be wearing a sweater and sneakers, and the other one will not.
yeah, draculaura. draculaura and nayah have two very different styles. so,
who's gonna pop up? depends on the event.
yeah, uh-huh. I think, um, I'm always prepared to come overdressed to any occasion. so I think
frankie would be, at first, not so great at the whole fashion thing but then slowly--like,
draculaura and clawdeen are like, "come here, baby," and then they fix them.
out of the three of us? ceci and frankie are both the DJs of this group I think, yeah.
I think my brain broke for a second trying to think of frankie watching it.
um, I was like, frankie would watch it in their brain.
I think that clawdeen would be like, "oh my gosh, it's me."
I think draculaura would be very excited, because you could actually see her.
yes draculaura gets to see herself for the first time. frankie's like, "a movie? what's a movie?"
and then clawdeen's like, "oh my gosh, why do i look like that?"
the whole time.
anxious.
cannot. I don't like the sound of my voice, I don't like how I look, this is too much.
I think the three of them would have to tackle it together.
yes. absolutely.
thanks so much for watching.
