why do i feel like im falling down an animation pipeline lmao

I can’t believe this show was canceled because of Disney Decendents, it had such potential in my opinion. The music, the story, the designs, the character development. Everything about this show was so amazing

Please keep watching. All of the questions are addressed, and I really love the dynamic between Raven and Meddie! But I have to say that Cerise Hood is my favorite character, for a bunch of reasons!

The website used to be entirely dedicated to the series. The episodes were launched there. We had a game where you could choose your character, decorate your room, etc. And yes you could buy the dolls too, but it was so much more than it is now. It's too sad that EAH never got the ending it deserved.

I love how they portrayed Briar Rose as someone who’s afraid/reluctant to sleep. It’s a really fresh perspective on the Sleeping Beauty story/franchise. In Wreck it Ralph 2, Shrek, or Charming, they all portray Sleeping Beauty as a narcoleptic. It’s nice to see Briar Rose as someone who’s afraid and avoidant of sleep. Sleeping for a hundred years is a curse not a personality.

Part 2 please! You can’t just watch the ‘Story of Apple White’ without hearing Raven’s side of the situation too!

Mathew asking questions that the show desperately wants to answer is killing me. Everytime he asks something I have no choice but to giggle bc its all there lmaoo

Actually, Ashlynn Ella didn't get 300 pairs of shoes and A glass slipper, she got 300 pairs of shoes FOR The Glass Slipper, which is the name of her shop. Also, the reason Apple White is respected and adored so much is because her mother, Snow White, was the very first fairytale princess (from the line of Disney princesses at least). So technically, when Snow White road off with her Prince Charming to live a happily ever after, in a way, she's considered to be the first Queen before all the other princesses followed after with their happily ever afters. Which I guess in Ever After High, Snow White is THE Queen for being the first original princess and all.

OMG PLEASE WATCH THE WHOLE SHOW. there is so much lore i think you’ll find fascinating. a lot of the logistical questions you asked are actually elaborated on later in the show and it’s so good. i’m so happy Ever After High is getting the attention it deserves. it’s so underrated! thank you for this video.

Compared to every other girls' doll media, Ever After High is truly the one with the best stories and best animation. It's so well made and so underrated.

Honestly it's so interesting to look back at the first episode and see how much seems sorta random but will eventually get an explanation. Like Briar Beauty seems very random and spontaneous for seemingly no reason but later on in the series she makes a rlly good point for why she acts the way she is which is honestly sorta sad and completely reasonable

I was so sad when this show was canceled, I was absolutely enthralled with this show. Thank you for reminding me of this masterpiece no matter how short it was

Honestly, the lore and backstory of this show goes so far. It’s a great show and has some pretty unexpected twists. I definitely recommend you continue watching.

It’s incredibly funny seeing Mathew be so shocked about the concept of fairy tale children/children of villains going to a highschool when that exact plot was both done by Ever After High *and* The Decedents

Honestly Briar Beauty has one of the saddest moments in the show. Spoilers: She expresses how she has to sleep for years and years and wake up and all her friends won't be there. It's actually pretty heart braking. Also, the lesbian coating in this show is heavy and its adorable.

The start is always a bit confusing but please keep watching! There is more story, characters and lore to discover! Also Maddie is best character!

Bro I highly recommend reading the books and/or watching the series. They all are written so well. Raven ends up forming a type of revolution against the act of continuing the books stories, and some of the royals even join in as well. It all discusses the darkness of their situation, and questions if anyone is selfish to want a certain life for themselves. It brings light to the fact that even some of the people that have a happy ending would have to go through immense trauma to get there, and they don’t want that. It’s SO good.

God, I ADORED Ever After High. It was exactly my aesthetic growing up (still is now) and the writing is sooo witty and immersive and ughhh. One of my favourite things is that they have their own slang. Monster High had it too and even though it's seems so minor the world having it's own slang terms and sayings just makes it feel much more alive and lived in and fjdidbebejdb I love rewatching the whole series so much.

So the reason characters are classified as Royal or Rebel is about whether they choose to follow their destiny (this happens later in the show and why you should keep watching). Someone like Raven is a Rebel because she is rebelling against her destiny even thought she technically is royalty. Blonde Locks (Goldilocks’ daughter) is a Royal because she chose to follow her mum’s footsteps even though she’s not royalty.

Damn, I totally forgot how absolutely amazing Ever After High’s theme is. I mean it’s always been one of my favorite theme songs (I never skip it when I’m rewatching the show) but now as a young adult the line, “it’s a rebel cause, with a royal heart” hits so much harder. It’s like saying that some times you have to rebel for the good of so many people and that’s okay but don’t forget about the good and “royal” heart that you have. I legit teared up, not gonna lie.

The first thing I did with this series was fall in love with Raven. She should not have to go against her morals to make others happy. Also the more the story goes on the more I wanted to scream at Apple.

Pls Mathew! Please watch the whole series! It's really good and the writing and character development is really good, even for the character's you'd least expect. All the main characters get major character arcs that are ABSOLUTELY amazing! Please go for it!

Part 2 PLEASE! (Also, watching on Netflix would be the better idea because it has all of it, and they're condensed down into actual "episodes" instead of the shorter KZfaq videos.) As someone who grew up with this show and still absolutely LOVES it, I'm living for the fact that (almost) all the questions you asked during this actually get answerd later on in the show because the show was actually well thought out. And also (minor spoilers for later in the show so stop reading if you don't want that) If the show had been allowed to continue, they would have made it GAY! Like, actual explicit romance between Apple and Darling. The kiss scene should be enough to convince you of that, but the actual writers went on record and said that was the direction they would have taken the show. So sad it got cancelled because of Disney's Descendants blowing up. The last season really didn't feel like a finale.

KEEP WATCHING!!!! All of this is explained. ALSO SOME SPOILERS BUT TBF THIS SHOW HAS BEEN OUT FOR A WHILE Few little things tho, 1. Ashlynn didn't buy a glass slipper, her shoe store is called The Glass Slipper to reference her fairytale 2. Briar is depressed about outliving most of her friends and missing 100 years of her life so she's trying to make the best of it all 3. Daring gets redemption 4. Weird casual dude is Hunter Huntsman son of the huntsman from I think Red Riding Hood 5. Hansel and Gretel have 1 kid each and they're cousins and 6. So much drama is involved to further the story so PLEASE continue watching

Now that you’ve finally reacted to the few _Ever After High_ songs there are, I’m sure all the fans asking you to do this reaction can now finally live out their own happily ever afters. 😂

It’s so funny when Mat asks questions that immediately get answered 😭

The website used to be way different. Back it’s hay day, it was like a themed, interactive website. There was even a voting page for the “thronecoming” Queen, and whichever character won would actually win in the show.

PLEASE watch more because Ever After High is legitimately such a fun show both conceptually and comedically.

it’s always a good day when Mat posts a video

Seeing so many people love and talk about this masterpiece always warms my heart💜

God you have no idea how loud I screeched when I saw this. In my humble opinion, Ever After High will forever be the 2010s show that did EVERYTHING right. You want plot? You got it. Character design and arcs? You got it. Diversity? You got it. When I say this show is a masterpiece I am NOT joking. It deals with so many common problems in such a magical way and is just so fucking entertaining as it does it. Please continue to watch this, I will literally binge omg I love this show so much (and I know you will too)

Y'know the deeper you get into the story, the more deeper the story IS. Ive watched almost all of the episodes and the episode where they pledge their destiny's is my favorite

The show gets so much deeper as it goes on and has some really good storytelling especially in the specials.

Im fully on team "Make Mathew watch more" lol, I love how excited you got about the premise of the show!

You should definitely watch more episodes. Everything gets explained and a lot of characters change throughout the series. It’s definitely worth watching.

Please keep watching!!! Raven’s side is so much better! And answers so many more questions

EVER AFTER HIGH IS JUST ONE OF THE BEST CARTOONS THAT EXIST! And I will stand by this! You definitely should watch more, because this story is actually so good, and all the characters are so surprisingly multidimensional for a cartoon that was basically created to sell dolls. Just maybe make a video binging the whole first season and the coronation day🤣

Bro every after high has a novel series that holds up to this day. I reread them recently and they’re still so good. They’ve got a legitimate sense of peril and the plot is immensely interesting.

You have to watch more! “Way Too Wonderland” was my favorite bit and “Thronecoming” was also an interesting take. “Dragon Games” has such a cool plot and premise! Also, Daring gets a character arc in “Epic Winter” where he becomes less narcissistic 😂

Please keep watching!!! I was so sad when this got canceled because of -disney- and we didn't get to see the ending of the show, but there are so many good seasons before that and it honestly is one of the most well-written and interesting shows i watched when I was younger! They dive into more deeper topics too like identity issues and where you belong among other things so no, you didn't get too deep with your analyses, and you were pretty spot on :)

Ever After High, just like Monster High, is a cartoon series dear to my heart, even though they have 3 songs, I know them by heart, looooooove the Dragon Games one💛 7:17 the nostalgia while hearing thisbjhg watching the 1st episodes is so funny seeing how far this universe has come to! Glad Mathew appreciates yet another beauty in the animation industry. 8:07 that is literally Apple’s logic for the first half of this series, but hey! Things are going to be different don’t you worry! 11:05 Daring is well…Daring. He’s just there…he was funny in the Topsy Turvy movie tho 11:45 oh it was intentional _cough cough headmaster Grim_ 17:05 HOW DOES HE KEEP GUESSING THE PLOT 18:58 PLEASE DO WATCH MORE EPISODES MATHEW I WILL GLADLY WATCH THE BAZILLION VIDEOS Your commentary is always so interesting and funny and sometimes mind boggling, it’s a pleasure hearing your thoughts about these old shows. I can see the series has you immersed in its story so mind as well! 20:42 The theme song is an absolute JAM, the atmosphere of fairytales with that popish rhythm makes this song an absolute joy to listen to💜

Highly recommend watching the whole series the story is amazing

WE NEED MORE!!! I always loved EAH, the aesthetic, the story etc. it's really worth it, the depth in this show is incredible!

This is one of my favourite series on youtube. Each episode might be short, but the characters have so much personality. Maddie, Raven & Cerise Hood are my favourites. I really hope you continue to watch this. Also it's really fun to watch you both guess who characters are related to.

By all means, please watch every episode!! The characters and adventures are so captivating!

this was one of my favorite series then it got canceled bc disney copied them and i was so mad abt it😭

I love how Matt is just questioning "Why are they OKAY with this system?!" as if the whole point of the series isn't discussing the problems with this system. :D You are not digging too deep, you are asking the questions they WANT you to ask!

Wait, I just realized, the moment where Briar says she's going again (to yeet herself out the tower), Daring gets on pose to catch her. They really take trust fall to other level. (That potential for friendship, tho)

This was my favorite show of all time! It made me sad that it got cancelled. Way too wonderland is such a nostalgia trip and has such an amazing song!

Oh my gosh I love ever after high. The books provide a lot more context tho (Im gonna have to reread the books soon) And the few songs they have absolutely slap. I still listen to them.There's so much lore to this whole thing. Great seeing your reactions to this I would love to see you watch more. You're reactions are absolutely great and I can only imagine your reactions to some scenes.

The show has so much potential, it breaks my heart when they’re canceled. You should really watch all the episodes and movies. It’s worth it.

PLEASE watch more of this! I was incredibly happy seeing this video alone, and I don't know what I would give for more! This show is seriously amazing! The designs are very pretty, the story is great and characters are well-written. "Am I digging in too deep?" No you're not, Ever After High really IS that deep!

YOOOO I JUST GOT BACK INTO EVER AFTER HIGH AND YOU POST THIS?!??!? Edit after watching video: I'm so glad you don't immediately hate Apple, the fandom treats her like pure evil even though she was pressured by others to follow her destiny, just like literally everyone else. Sure, she wants to be queen, but she also cares for others. Sure, she can be pretty selfish, but that's what makes her a good character- She would be perfect otherwise.

I LOVE Ever After High! I read the books, I watched the show, I have opinions (especially the farther you get into it)

I would personally love to watch you react to more episodes. For a kid's show that was made pretty much solely to sell toys it does the characters really well, showing different perspectives and reasons for wanting to follow Destiany vs not and different reasons for that (for example I really don't like Apple very much since i thinks she's really self-absorbed but I understand her motivations) over all is just a surprisingly good show.

0:00 Intro 0:54 The World of Ever After High 6:45 Apple's Tale: The Story Of A Royal 19:09 Ever After High theme song

Ahhh I love EAH! It's one of the best pieces of media (made to originally sell dolls) to exist. The writing is clever, the charater designs and costumes are god fabulous and the characters are just so well written. The songs are bangers, and the storyline is AMAZING! Even Wonderland logic makes sense in it's own way!

In this case "Royal" just means that they are following their destiny. They aren't necessarily actually royalty because later in the show their are "evil" royals as well.

The first couple episodes are the most lore packed, I’m very glad you decided to check this out!

oh PLEASE do the whole series because the characters actually have so much depth to them and there are so many wonderful plot twists

I love how invested you are in the lore! I can't wait what you'll think of Raven's perspective and of course, legacy day! >:D Ever After High truly is a master piece and seeing you enjoy it just brings me and so many others joy. Like one of our fave KZfaqrs dives into one of our most loved shows growing up. :)) Please consider making a part 2, or even series (no rush)

they were actually working on a crossover movie between monster high and ever after high, the post credit scene in boo york shows astronova talking to apple and raven. unfortunately it never finished but theres still artwork and lines from it on the internet. Theres a book based on that story too called “the legend of shadow high.”

If you like the show, I highly recommend checking out the book trilogy, which is also called Ever After High and is written by Shannon Hale. The books have longer storylines and are very fun to read, and there’s a forth one that’s a crossover with Monster High (Ever After High, The Legend of Shadow High). The third one is probably my favorite out of the trilogy because, wait, spoilers! I just think it’s really worth the read if you’re interested :D (PS: There’s a second series that goes into depth of some of the side characters if you’re desperate for even more Ever After High. It’s 8 books long and written by Suzanne Selfors and is also really good! I remember borrowing the third one from the library and renewing it for months until I finally got my own copy lol)

I love Ever After High, the storyline, the animation, the music, I love everything about it! You absolutely should watch the rest!!! All the characters get such awesome development!

OMG YEEEEEEEEES EVER AFTER HIGH! Its a Fantastic show!

it's great to see someone new enter this fandom. Would love to see you continue watching it. it really is an amazing show and i hope you enjoy it.

I am glad you have an open-mind about Apple’s perspective. Briar and Daring get character development. Briar is 1 of my favorite characters and she has an interesting storyline.

You have to finish the series, I believe you will love it. It is cheesy and dramatic but the story is so well written and many different parts of the show tackle serious issues in a fun and good way. Also, the few songs in the show slap!

Oh, I love Ever After High! And it has really good messages and fun development! If you feel like it, please keep watching and show your reaction!

Omg I'm so excited!! This was an amazing cartoon, and it kills me that they stopped making more.

Please watch the whole series!! Every character just gets so much character development that it’s so sad they cancelled it XD I love what they did with briar and I love the design of red riding hood’s daughter lol(forgot her name)

I would looove if you continued this series, it's seriously underrated and... just look at that art! That's a lot of money that went into it and the story is alright too!

YESSS WOOOOOO !!! I loved this show as a kid and still love it now, (I actually rewatched it a few months ago) and I'm SO glad to see you react to it !! DEFINITELY wasn't expecting this at all !!! THANK YOU MATHEW !

I need a full series of Mat reacting to every episode, I’d totally watch that 😂 I loved this show when I was wee, bit cringe now though haha!

Briar was living for the rush because she knew she was going to sleep for eternity. So she had that you only live once mentality!

This story changes so much and you are going to be SO suprised when you find out what characters are/get together, I hope you watch every season including the Dragon Games, Epic Winter and the rest

This show was my ENTIRE childhood

There is one character in this series that is also apart of Monster High and it’s Cupid! She travels between worlds and it was so cool when we found out it’s canon!

Omg I LOVED this webseries! Me and my mom have all the dolls lol Please watch the rest, it has such a great story with great character development!

I actually love Daring. It’s mostly because of his later character development, but I think he’s funny and interesting.

Ever after high is an amazing show and i definitely recommend reacting to all the specials (that's where the occasional songs and best character development ect is as tje regular episodes are less than 10 mins and filler) i grew up with this show and it's amazing

There's actually books for this serie, and I actually always prefered the main trilogy to the cartoon serie...Apple White is very much less bitchy in there, and her motivations are even more understandable. The books also container more lore and stuff, and helps you understand the characters better (Especially Apple) Edit: Also please do keep watching this!!!

Please please please watch more!! There are actually many princes and princess who don’t want to follow their destiny, and you get to learn more about them in depth as the series goes on. It’s really good, especially since for some characters, you typically think them shallow until you learn something about more that has you see them in an entirely different light

Im glad you're watching this and i hope you continue because this show actually has a lot of development and a good story that you'd probably genuinely enjoy.

MAT REACTING TO EVER AFTER HIGH!? THAT'S ALL I NEEDEEEEEED

PLEASE WATCH MORE!!! this show is literally my favorite and seeing that you love it too makes me so happy 😭😭😭😭😭

You should absolutely keep watching, because as the show continues, the original plot develops so much more with twists that you probably won't expect. And in my personal opinion, the wonderland arc of this show is way too good to miss out on.

Please keep watching this is such an amazing show! Yes they are part of the same universe one of the characters even crosses over from being on monster to ever after high.

i absolutely loved watching this show with my sister!! i especially love the one in wonderland!!

The show is reminding you of a story book and your fairytale nostalgia as a young kid... plus it has an interesting plot. 🙂👍

y e s thank you so much for everything you've done (that I've seen lmao) 1:50 lmao this concept is really old in many fanfiction circles so seeing your first reaction to it is really fun 3:47 also I love your ravenclaw showing 19:00 I feel like the headmaster's eyes are weird? I havent seen the full show or films in SO long so I legit dont remember

Please keep watching, they’re short episodes so it really won’t take you long and I’d love to see you react to all the characters and their dynamics.

I would absolutely watch you react to the whole show. I loved it when I was younger so this was so fun to see you enjoy it like I did!

Please please PLEASE watch the whole series on your channel!!!!! There’s so much character development and lore you need to explore and I’d love to see it!!!!

I hope you're able to keep reacted to this, would totally like to see it if you can! It's pretty good, watched it when they were first premiered! I miss everything about it... Ever After High & Monster High being connected is really cool. :)

Please keep watching this show. It gets even better in the next couple episodes. The show is so slept on! 😊

duuudee i grew up with the books and eventually this show, i remember loving the hell out of them. growing up it was one of the first stories aimed at kids that i saw and felt actually had interesting character dynamics and motivations, and clashes between them.

ever after high songs will always slap, and power princess shining bright will always be number 1 for me :)

One thing I love about all the Charmings is that since they can't pledge, they DON'T get the legacy they expect. And the unexpected leads to obstacles leading to growth and potential character development. I also like seeing the kids follow in their parents' footsteps in unexpected ways and reinventing the tales. Spoiler warning : I think Ashley's "prince" won't be a Charming, and the three siblings will end up playing the parts of Prince Adam, The Good King (from Snow White ??) (maybe) and Prince Florian (from Snow White) but not in the way they were supposed to.

*asks all the right questions that get explored later in the show* “I’m probably reading too much into it tho”
