Monster High: Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love? (2011)

[bunniefuu]

Oh, it's Draculaura!

Oh!

Happy Sweet 1600!

Thank you, thank you!

By royal decree, you are

hereby ordered to party!

Hit it, ghouls!

Oh, no. Loud music!

Let's get this

joint jumping, yeah!

Tomato juice fountain.

Gross!

Epic salad bar!

It's everything a vegetarian

vampire could hang a fang on!

Hey, Draculaura!

We're on, Gil.

You like?

Fabu-licious!

Her birthday is

Valentine's Day?

You bet. Take a gander

at her birthmark.

The whole dang holiday

was fashioned just for her.

She's so lucky!

No.

I'm the one who's lucky.

Clawd, you make

my dreams come true.

Which is why I got you this. And

this, and those, and these.

And...

I painted that!

O- M-Ghoul!

Can this day

get any better?

Draculaura, in honor

of your most special birthday,

your father would

like to give you

a new car!

So, that would be

my dream party.

Guess I need

a reality check, right?

Absolutely not!

Your fantasy

is our reality.

In fact, we're gonna make it

even better, aren't we?

You ghouls are the best-est!

Fantasies.

Everybody has them.

Congratulations,

Ghoulia Yelps!

Your scientific work

has cured Mummengitis!

Ghoulia, Ghoulia!

Fantasies are great.

Reality can be a bolt

in the neck sometimes.

It's nice to take a break.

But sometimes, fantasies

can become expectations.

And when that happens,

it can put a lot of pressure

on the monsters in your life.

It was Draculaura's Sweet 1600

and Valentine's Day!

And to top it off,

the whole holiday was created

just for her 400 years ago.

I'll tell you

about that later.

As official party planners,

Cleo and Clawdeen

realized that

they had 1, 599 birthdays

to live up to.

So, what do you think?

I think it sphinx.

She did that for

her 1521st birthday.

We gotta

step up our game.

A little birdie told me you guys were

throwing a purr-fectly epic party.

We're

here for our invites.

Please, Toralei.

You're not coming.

Give me one

good reason why not?

Uh... How about three?

Fine. Just remember,

every kitty has her day.

So better watch your backs.

Oh, we're so scared.

Hey, ghouls!

How goes the Party planning?

Great! Right, Cleo?

Oh, totes-ma-ghost!

We're gonna throw you the

party of the millennium.

Hey, Clawd, what you

got there, big bro?

A little something-something

for Draculaura.

Oh!

You shouldn't have.

I bet it's way romantic!

Black roses?

Candy skulls?

Bowl of yak meat?

What? Yak meat is delicacy.

It's a study guide for

her driver's ed test.

You can only take

that test twice,

or you have to wait another six

months to get your license.

Oh!

You shouldn't have.

Really.

Really.

I guess I'd better

go study right now.

You got a ghoul like

Draculaura a practical gift?

Bad wolfie!

Ow! What?

Her hopes for her Sweet 1600

are higher than the pyramids.

Now those would

make a great gift!

Nah, I got her something that'll

make her howl at the moon!

Ugh!

You don't like it? No way.

We had to tell Clawd

that the necklace was nice,

but he was going to have to think of

something that would knock her bolts off.

Pressure was way intense.

Caller number five, you're on

with Cupid, Goddess of Love.

Tell me,

what matters to your heart?

We were all

huge fans of Cupid's show,

and we listened to it

every day.

She's a love genius,

an expert on romance.

Got a problem with love?

She can fix it.

Yeah. So, like,

I really like this boy, right?

Total crush-o-rama.

But he doesn't even

know I'm, like, there.

I hear you, caller. This Is

something we can all relate to.

There's a monster we like, somebody

we just know we'd be perfect for.

If they would

just notice us...

Let me ask you, caller.

Are you invisible?

Yeah, that's what

I'm like, saying.

It's like

he can't even see me!

No, sweetie,

are you actually invisible?

Oh, dooiy!

Uh... Hang on.

Hey-

Hey-

Oh, my ghoul!

Like, thanks, Cupid!

See? She's the ghoul!

Do not understand

why play these games.

In mountains, village elders

choose a date for you,

spit in hand...

Ugh.

Shake, end of story.

Is no muss, is no fuss.

Okay, is little muss.

So, which bloke you gonna

take to the party?

That is a problem.

What's caught in her net?

She can't decide between Slow

Moe and Don of the Dead.

She's a monster of science,

not romance.

Too bad science

can't decide for her.

Oh... Oh!

Good luck!

Good luck!

Caller 15,

what matters to your heart?

Yeah, um, I have this...

I mean, my "friend"

has this problem.

What do you buy the ghoul

that has everything?

Oh, I hear you caller.

My advice is not to buy her anything.

Find her something personal.

Something that

says you listen.

I don't have all of my powers yet.

I can't reach anything.

I got it.

Thanks, Cupid. You the man.

Uh... The ghoul.

Clawd?

Now you can get up to your

locker, no prob. See?

I wanted to prove that...

That's what

you think of me?

You think

I'm short?

Aw...

Clawd found

out the hard way

that expectations can be

a real bop on the nose.

Ouch.

Clawd was totally in

the doghouse with Draculaura.

And now I was

about to find out

that he had

a lot to live up to.

Aw, maybe

I'm hoping for too much.

It's just that Valentine's Day

brings back so many memories for me.

But you ghouls

all know that story.

Yes.

Heard it

a thousand times.

I haven't.

I want to hear it.

Oh, I don't really

want to get into it now.

Oh, okay. Never mind.

Well, fine, if you're

gonna twist my arm.

It is the most

romantic story ever told

and it all started

at my old school.

Like, vampire old.

His name was Valentine.

And he was the most

romantic monster ever.

Every ghoul in school

was fangs over heels for him.

But he chose me.

We met at a Mock Witch Trial.

For no creature

as fair as this,

with eyes as

bright as a full moon,

with skin as soft

as a ghost's kiss,

and a heart as pure as snow,

can possibly be a witch.

Not guilty

That is so beautiful.

You both get A's!

He was amazing in every way.

He wrote me

the most exquisite poetry.

And every moment we spent

together was something out of

a fairytale.

And for my birthday,

he gave me the greatest

gift I've ever received.

He created a holiday

just for me!

Valentine's Day!

Happy Birthday, darlin'.

You have the biggest heart.

Almost full of love.

Tonight, I shall

make it mine, forever.

But that night,

my family had to flee,

due to a misunderstanding

with the locals.

And I never saw him again.

That's so sad.

I wasn't asleep, Mr. Rotter!

Oh!

He was my first love and he

was everything I ever wanted.

You only knew him

for aweek.

It was supposed to be forever.

He seems pretty

self-obsessed to me.

Don't you think it's weird that

he made a holiday for you,

but named it

after himself?

Whatever, it doesn't matter. What

we had is all buried in the past.

I'm with Clawd now.

And he's just different.

I better go get ready

for my driver's test.

"I better

go ready for my driver's test. "

Won't invite us

to the party, huh?

Then we'll just

have to ruin it!

All this math has got your

head swimming round like a blind tuna.

You gotta ask yourself,

what does your heart want?

Here, let's write up

a list of pros and cons

for both blokes

on your computer.

You're writing a program

to decide your perfect match?

Science doesn't have all

the answers, you know.

Sorry! Just saying that love is a

mystery, dipped in secret sauce.

There is a magic to it.

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

There's nothing more beautiful

than a full heart.

Valentine,

how may I romance you?

Who are you

talking to on the phone?

Mom, I got it. Jeez!

Valentine?

Draculaura.

Ah!

Smooth, man, real smooth.

Copasetic, Valentino.

Ice cold, daddy-o.

Oh. Sugar!

I have been waiting ages to

hear your sweet buttery tones.

Who are you talking

to on the telephone?

Mom!

Get off the line.

You want me to

transfer to Monster High?

Surely,

anything for you, darling.

You hear me? If you don't

clean up all this batguna...

Yes, Mom, chores first!

Hang up!

Apologies.

I can't wait to see you,

Valentine, my love.

Cupid, I'm begging here.

Like, hey, Valentine, why are you

so crazy about this vampire chick?

Because Draculaura's perfect.

She's one of a kind.

And she has

such a big heart.

The biggest heart of any

monster there ever was.

She completes me.

She completes my collection.

All I have to do to

harvest your heart,

is fill it

to 100% with love.

I was nearly there,

but then you got away.

That won't happen

this time.

If you don't clean up your

batguna, it's sunlight for you, son.

Yes, Mom, I know.

I just want to

make her happy.

You need to remind her why she fell

in love with you in the first place.

Cleo and Clawdeen

knew of a secret place

buried deep

below Monster High,

that would be perfect

for the party.

The catacombs!

The map says there should be an old

concert hall somewhere around here.

Ugh! Hasn't anyone heard of GPS?

Look, a door.

There must be a key around

here somewhere.

A skullet key!

Those open everything!

Whoa.

What's that smell?

Totally.

Who died in here?

Oh, my ghoul!

Well, that was a close shave!

Operetta. Thanks.

Y'all nearly fell into "the

Cauldron of Eternal Body Odor. "

One dip in

there and whoo-ee...

You'll stink like a polecat

for a thousand years!

What brings you by?

Draculaura wants her

birthday party here.

Well, then, let me

rope this off for you.

Perfect! Now, all we need is a

few thousand scented candles.

Let's get to work.

The program's done?

So, who is

your perfect match?

Yeah, Don or Slow Moe?

Well,

what are you waiting for?

Hey, hot stuff!

Heath Burns!

Heath Burns!

Hoffa!

Clawd had finally figured

out what to get Draculaura.

Something she couldn't

get anywhere else.

Check it out.

Oh, a box of junk.

How thoughtful.

Yeah, you can't give

her a bunch of stuff

that you dug up

from the backyard.

It's not a box

of junk, it's...

What's that about?

Is there a sale somewhere?

Why wasn't I told?

Ghoulia!

Did you read my blog?

A hot new boy just

transferred to Monster High!

I heard that he was

looking for Draculaura.

Who could it be?

How am I doing?

All right, no mistakes.

But I was looking forward

to failing somebody.

Just parallel park and you

survive your driver's test.

Mess up,

and it's off with your grade.

Valentine?

You fail.

Valentine!

I'm Toralei.

Pleased to meet ya, darlin'.

I'm...

Valentine, yes.

I know all about you.

I see my

reputation precedes me.

And I know you're here

for Draculaura's heart.

Hush, now!

Look, she called me.

She didn't call you. I did.

You did? Why?

To help you get past

her guard dog.

The furry fellow?

Her boyfriend.

Boyfriend?

Relax.

Clawd doesn't have a romantic

tuft of fur on his whole body.

He's no threat.

He sure is big.

Aw... It's okay, fraidy cat,

the big, bad woof

is leaving.

Now, get over there

and do what you do best.

Well, all right,

now we're talking.

Why are you doing this,

anyway, pretty kitty?

Let's just call it a birthday

present from the heart.

Mmm-hmm.

Draculaura.

Draculaura.

My Valentine.

How romantic!

Ah...

The attention

Draculaura was getting from Val

was making her

batty with glee.

'Course, that much glee

is hard to hide.

What's going on

with you and Valentine?

What? What are you

talking about?

Everybody knows that you

guys have been hanging out.

It's all over school.

It's even in Spectra's blog.

Okay, okay. We've been spending

a little time together. So?

So? Are you forgetting that

you already have a boyfriend?

In my village, they have name

for this, Problustravitch.

Not cool!

Do not tell him I said this,

but my brother's a great guy.

And he cares

about you so much.

I know, I know.

And I care about him.

But Val is just so dreamy

and romantic,

and amazing.

Clawd may be smelly and

annoying, but he's not stupid.

He's going to

find out about this.

I'm telling you this

as your best ghoulfriend.

You can't have it

both ways.

You gotta make a choice.

Holy smokes!

I'm Ghoulia's perfect match!

Apparently her

scientific research showed

that you two were

the most compatible.

Dude, now I know why I'm having so

much trouble in Mr. Hack's class.

Science does not

make any sense.

Neither does Mr. Hack.

"Oye, oye. All right,

now see 'ere, children!"

Heath, Ghoulia's a very

nice, sweet, shy ghoul.

She's kind of a fish out of

water when it comes to dating.

We were hoping you could be

a little, um, you know...

Less Heath-y?

Yes!

Yes!

Less Heath-y?

Are you kidding me?

I'm her perfect match.

I'm gonna turn it up

to 451 Heath-grees!

This is gonna be bad.

This is gonna be awesome.

Bad. I mean bad. Yeah,

this is gonna be bad.

Draculaura had a problem.

She was torn

between the two boys.

Oops.

Clawd.

And Valentine.

But in the end,

Draculaura knew the answer.

Oh, Val, that's so sweet!

You know me, darlin'.

My heart is in your hands.

Or vice versa,

if you catch my drift.

Listen, I've really

enjoyed all of this.

All the gifts and attention

and everything.

But it's not real.

What?

I've got something real

with Clawd.

I didn't want to

have to resort to this.

But, I'm gonna have your heart,

darlin', one way or the next.

Draculaura?

You, you, you

Got dumped!

You're really gonna

ride this wave in?

Now, with most

Dead Languages,

in order to conjugate the

verb, we first must...

Oh, no!

Very good, Clawdeen.

But it's pronounced "Ahhno. "

It is the rare Ghost

of Christmas Past tense.

They broke up!

Vampy puts Doggy

outside for good.

Now that it was official...

Clawd was howling in pain.

Hey, over here,

I'm open!

We had to talk to Draculaura.

But we couldn't find her

anywhere, which was way weird.

Any luck, mate?

No. She won't

answer her phone.

And I've texted her,

like, 20 times.

Good thing

my dad pays the bill.

Oh, I am so mad at her. How

could she do this to Clawd?

Love makes

monsters do silly things.

Good call, Ghoulia. Maybe she is

taking her driver's test now!

But she wasn't there either.

Ha! You failed!

We finally ran

into her and Valentine

as they were

leaving Study Howl.

And that's when we realized

something was way wrong.

Draculaura, we need to talk, like, now.

Where have you been?

With Val.

I had all my classes changed. That

way, he and I will never be apart!

What about my brother?

Which one?

You have, like, 10.

You better not be acting all

weird like this at your party.

Oh, I can't make it.

What?

Valentine says he has something extra

special planned for my birthday!

It'll be heart-stopping.

Lates!

Oh, no, is the party off?

Boo-hoo-hoo.

I can't believe we spent so much time

on this to have her blow us off!

If she wasn't immortal...

I don't know, gills,

something's amiss.

Yeah, she's not

behaving like herself at all.

Her Sweet 1600 party

meant so much to her.

All of sudden, she not care.

Very odd.

You're right.

There's one ghoul who can

get to the bottom of this.

Spectra? We need a favor.

TORALEl: Isn't this amazing?

Everyone's miserable,

Draculaura and Clawd are toast,

and the party is canceled!

This is gonna be the best birthday ever.

And it's not even mine!

I wish I could say the same,

darlin '.

Operation Steal Her Heart

not going so hot?

It's moving

slower than molasses.

Her love for that hound was

stronger than I considered.

I thought

you hypnotized her.

I did, but I still have to fill

her heart completely with love.

Else I can't harvest it

and put it in my trophy case.

I just need to make sure

I get it soon.

Why the rush? This is fun!

The spell will become permanent

in three days, her birthday.

And she'll be stuck

in that state forever.

Her heart will

disappear like smoke.

She'll be incapable of

loving anyone ever. Even me.

And no heart, no trophy.

Either way, I win.

Good luck.

This is so juicy. I better send

this video to the ghouls. Fast!

A spell? Steal her heart?

I'll pound him!

Ghoulia's right.

Getting rid of Valentine without breaking

the spell would be a voltageous fail!

She'd be a total zombie!

No offense.

So how do we break it? 'Cause

I really wanna pound him.

Who knows the most about

the awesome powers of love?

Cupid, it's

a love emergency!

If he put her under a spell, in order

to break it, we're gonna need this.

Hand me my bow.

Uh... You couldajust opened it.

That's the key right there.

Oh!

Cupid was gonna sh**t

Draculaura with an arrow,

which would make her fall in love

with the first monster she saw.

And we were gonna make sure

that monster was Clawd.

Ghoulia...

Now's not

a good a time, Heath.

This is one fire you can't

put out, Lagoona. Whoa!

See, she's crazy about me!

I'd offer you this pepper, but

you're already so hot, darlin'.

You make my heart so happy.

And full?

It swells with every

moment I spend with you.

Yes, I can tell.

Ready?

I've never seen a

monster with powers like his.

One arrow won't be strong

enough to break the spell.

Hurry. Here they come.

Use two, then.

We're running out of time!

Look out!

That went well.

Valentine's Day was tomorrow!

Ghoulia was still trying

to make it work with Heath.

After all, science

can't be wrong! Can it?

Ghoulia!

I wrote you a k*ller tune.

It starts with a smokin' guitar solo.

Thank you, thank you. You've been

a great audience. I love you.

You can applaud now.

And as for

Clawd and Draculaura?

They were madly in love

with the wrong monsters!

Once they got

shot by the arrows,

Cupid and Clawd

were inseparable

and nothing else

mattered to them.

Oh!

Ow!

What?

Bad wolfie! Snap out of it!

Look, sis, we're happy. Can't

you just be happy for us?

Cupid, come on,

your arrows caused this.

You know that, right?

All I remember is looking

into his puppy-dog eyes

and never

wanting to look away.

Ugh! Gag!

Look, how do we

break the spell?

Why would I tell you?

Why would you want to?

Because of her!

Draculaura?

She seems happy, too.

She's in danger!

Don't be a hater, sis.

Love is magical!

That's what

I'm trying to tell you!

And poor Draculaura.

With every romantic gesture,

she was falling deeper and deeper

under Valentine's control.

A shower of kisses.

The doves will be flyin'.

Come tomorrow night,

your heart will be mine.

Oh, Valentine,

that was so romantic.

Apparently,

not romantic enough.

We had to stop Valentine before he

stole Draculaura's heart forever.

There's gotta be something in

here that'll break these spells!

There is nothing in here

but games and tricks.

I do not understand why

monsters trust her so much.

Uh... She's Cupid.

She knows more

about love than anyone.

Her bow and arrows!

She just left them here.

Well, these are too dangerous

to be lying around.

I'll put them in my locker.

I don't think...

What you want?

Cupid?

She not here.

I'm Abbey, I help.

Well, I like this ghoul, but I

don't know how to talk to her.

Be direct.

Do not waste breath

on flowery introductions.

Say, "Hello.

I like you. You like me?"

See? Is easy.

Uh... Okay.

lam natural.

They like you.

Because I do not

play games.

Hey, that not bad.

You're on with Abbey,

where love is not game.

Go!

Ghoulia was looking for info

on Valentine and Cupid.

She asked Heath to help so she could

finally prove science was right.

Secret admirer?

No, no.

In my village, if there

is no name on package,

it get sent back

to post office.

Whoa! Your friend just

totally owned that dude!

Crash and burn! Owww!

Shh...

Yeah, right,

right, right.

I'll get that

for you, hot stuff!

Whoa!

That's just

on the surface.

What's taking so long?

Crikey,

it's almost her birthday!

We don't have

much time, gills.

Why couldn't my brother just be

more romantic in the first place?

It's not his fault.

Valentine hypnotized her!

He let her get away

from him, Frankie.

I mean, his big gift to her

was gonna be this box of junk.

And now, every time

I try to talk to him,

he and Cupid keep

waggin' their tongues

about the power

of "true love. "

And that's when it hit me.

There was

something in that box

more powerful than Cupid's and

Valentine's powers put together.

Guys! I have a plan.

But we need to get everyone in

the same room at the same time.

But how?

A party!

We're back, baby!

Cleo and Clawdeen made

copies of the skullet key

and used them

as invitations.

Jackson, come to

Draculaura's party?

A party? Me? Awesome.

Actually, it's for Holt Hyde.

We need a DJ.

Draculaura's party?

Hey, you guys, wanna come

to Draculaura's party?

Yeah, that way

everyone can see us

and see how in love we are!

See how in love we are!

Great!

G ro-to-the-ross.

How's it going with Heath?

Maybe science wasn't

the answer after all.

That's when Ghoulia realized

that her science was sound.

It was her computer

that was the problem.

There was a bug

in the program!

She was never supposed

to be with Heath!

Yeah, yeah, you were right.

How're ya gonna break it to him?

Hmm...

I found

Draculaura and Valentine.

And now,

to get them to the party.

So, what do you say?

There's no time for that.

Her birthday should be

all about

filling her heart

with love, completely.

Well, I know nothing fills her heart

faster than a party in her honor.

Hmm.

Then we'll be there.

Count on it!

Perfect!

Man! Yeah!

Hyde in the house!

Yo, yo, yo, it's ya boy,

Holt Hyde,

on the Squeals of Steel!

Uh-huh.

Okay, Frankie,

what's your plan?

Okay, Ghoulia found out

that Cupid's arrows' powers

only work

if the bow is intact.

The magic is in the bow!

If we smash the bow, Clawd

and Cupid will be released!

That is fur-rific news!

Toralei!

Toralei!

Come on, we gotta find her

before she wreaks havoc!

Let's split up.

We had to find Toralei

and figure out a way to smash the

bow, freeing Clawd and Cupid.

That way, Clawd could

give Draculaura the box.

We're almost there, fellas.

Just a smidge more, and we can skedaddle

on outta this one-dragon school.

But we had to do it before

the spell became permanent.

Time was running out!

Deuce!

Have you seen Toralei?

Nah, babe. Why, what's up?

They say love hurts.

Let's find out.

Oh...

Cleo?

Hey, gorgeous.

Where've I been all my life?

Cleo, are you okay?

How dare you touch me?

Oh, no!

Hey, Gil, I...

Gills!

We have to do something!

But what? If we step out,

she will sh**t us with bow.

She'd have to

catch me first.

Clawdeen's plan

was brilliant.

She was going to

use herself as bait.

It was risky, but it was the only

chance we had to stop Toralei.

Aw... Look who's

lying like a dog

just waiting for

this kitty to scratch.

Did it work?

Oh!

Cleo?

Hey, Deuce.

I missed you.

Whoa! What's going on?

No time to explain.

Clawd, you gotta give this

to Draculaura. Hurry!

Are you sure?

You guys said she'd hate it.

Trust me.

Draculaura? I have a

birthday gift for you.

Get along, little doggy.

She made her choice, ya dig?

I don't even know

why you try.

A mangy mutt like you

could never make a ghoul

like Draculaura happy.

That's it. It's on!

Let me down! You don't

know anything about her!

I did make her happy.

Draculaura, look in the box.

The spell Valentine put

on Draculaura was powerful.

Remember!

It's working!

But I knew there was

one thing stronger.

Hey.

Real, true,

mind-blowing love.

Everything about Val was

faker than a Vampire's tan.

But Clawd was real.

And real beats fake

any day of the week.

Even on Valentine's Day.

What just happened here?

You, you, you

Got dumped!

Shut it, you bunch

of cumulo-nincompoops!

I'm Valentine, dig?

I can get any ghoul I want.

You know what, Valentine?

It's time everyone knew

how much your love stinks.

Where are you going?

My Power, it's gone!

You, you stink!

Mom!

Valentine was

a very powerful monster.

But it was all superficial.

There was nothing

on the inside.

And once the outside was gone,

so was his power.

Oh... Can you

ever forgive me?

There's nothing

to forgive.

Fantasies.

It's okay to have them.

You are the most amazing guy

I've ever known.

I wish there

was something I...

Here's a stick. Ready?

But when fantasies get in

the way of what's real,

you gotta let 'em go.

We hope you like the party.

We know it's not

exactly what you wanted.

Are you kidding?

This party is off the fang!

It's perfect!

Thank you so much!

Because sometimes, reality can

be better than the fantasy.

And one

final present...

We talked to Mr. Hack,

explained everything.

He's going to let you

take the driver's test again.

Oh, my ghoul! I'm going

to get to drive my car!

Here you go. Ithought

you might want it back.

So romantic.

Truth is in love and in life,

you never know what to expect.

Here he comes.

Be gentle when you break

it off with him, mate.

He's really

fallen for ya.

Listen, it looks like there's an

opening for Stud Of The Century

since Val's

out of commission.

I can't be tied

down right now.

Don't wanna

disappoint all the ladies.

No hard feelings?

Hey, hot stuff,

wanna dance?

Caller, you need to be subtle. Laugh

at his jokes, even if they're bad.

I'm going to pretend

I did not hear that.

Caller, you must be direct, look

him in eye, tell him how you feel.

If he no feel same,

move along.

And while that

may cause some arguments,

isn't that what makes

it freaky and fabulous?
