Me: Â Do you want to watch “Ever After High” on Netflix?
Rosie: Â Are you SERIOUS?
With a look that makes me think I have two heads…
Rose: Â OF COURSE!
Have you seen “Ever After High”?
“Ever wonder what happened to the storybook characters we grew up with like the Mad Hatter, Snow White, and the Evil Queen? Turns out they are parents now too, and their children are studying at the enchanted high school of Ever After High, a boarding school for teens destined to follow in their famous parents’ fairytale footsteps. The all new original special Ever After High: Spring Unsprung celebrates the idea that the story of your life is not written in permanent ink. You have the power to create your own destiny.”
Watch a trailer for the show here:
We watched Season One: Â Episode One. Â We are introduced to the characters, as they “pledge their destiny”. Â With battling narrators, we are shown two versions of Legacy Day. Â One, where the characters have to follow their parents fate (the Royals) and one, where they can determine their own fate (the Rebels). Â I very much liked the theme of being able to shape your own future.
At the end of the episode the screen shows the words “The End is Just the Beginning”. Â We’re looking forward to Episode Two!
