Ever After High – Thronecoming

Written by Dan – Thoughts on Ever After High ep. 4 ‘Thronecoming’, which for some reason is 45 minuets long (the format of this series is a mess, the content doesn’t justify the messiness or vice versa, it’s just a good job that what’s going on in the episodes themselves is actually quite good).

It’s Thronecoming, because apparently all the students do at Ever After High is party. I’ve opened this post with a dose of cynicism, but when all things are said and done, this episode is really quite enjoyable. It’s the lead up to Thronecoming (which is essentially prom) where there will be a second chance to sign the book of legends.A decision made by Headmaster Grimm in an effort to get Raven to final sign the book, once and for all, sealing her destiny.  (more…)

Ever After High – True Hearts Day

Written By Dan – Ever After High ep. 3 ‘True Hears Day’. It’s spring in Ever After High, and True Hearts Day is fast approaching. But what is true hearts day? After Cupid reads about the old tradition it in an dusty book in the library, she decides she’s going to host a party to celebrate the old tradition. But why would Headmaster Grimm be so against the idea?

It’s Ever After High‘s valentines day episode. It’s a little odd for the end of episode 2 to initiate an outspoken conflict between the rebels and the royals with an love episode, though it’s this kind of risk which makes me like the show. The episode explores the romances between the rebels and the royals; the effects of their relationships upon the conflict. A particular focus is once again placed on Hunter and Ashlynn (introduced here), and Raven and Dexter and Cupid (introduced here). New to the cast is Duchess Swan (daughter of Swan Queen) and Sparrow Hood (son of Robin Hood), Duchess plans to expose Hunter and Ashlynn’s relationship, by exposing Ashlynn, Duchess reckons that she can take her position as a Royal. Meanwhile Dexter is asking for Cupids help to ask Raven out again.  (more…)

Ever After High – Welcome to Ever After (part 4)

Written By Dan – Ever After High ep. 2 ‘Welcome to Ever After’ on Netflix is presented as a series of shorts/chapters, which act as a prequel to the events of ep. 1 ‘Legacy Day’. This is part 4 of my review, in which I will be looking at the final part of the episode. Which recaps the events of Legacy Day in episode 1 and then proceeds to follow the events on the day after Legacy Day and how the divisions within the school have become centre stage.

Reflections

In this review, to get the most out of what’s actually going on, I thought I’d review each segment/story line individually. So without further ado, let’s begin at the beginning: (more…)
