Animated musical feature based on the American fashion doll franchise. The film follows Cleo de Nile (voice of Salli Saffioti) and friends as they attend a gala in Boo York to celebrate the passing of a magical comet. However, when it turns out that Cleo's sister Nefera (Wendee Lee) has a few tricks up her sleeve for using the comet's powers for her own gain, the others end up in a race against time to put a stop to her plans.

Regarding the 12th Monster High movie, I admit that I had too high expectations for Boo York, Boo York. Since this is a musical, everything outside of the musical performances became irrelevant. The script suffered somewhat as a result, and while the individual monsters often interacted with the interesting realities of an alternate New York, the result is just a new fad (and a lot of new collectible dolls, playsets, and books). I also see a problem in the little involvement of Operetta, who logically should have been a more prominent character given the chosen genre. In the end, the main thing that pleased me was the post-credits scene, which is honestly not much to be happy about.
