Welcome to Enchatria High (TV special)

"Enchatria Girls: Welcome to Enchatria High", alternatively titled "Enchatria Girls: Welcome to Enchatria High: The Origin Story", a.k.a. "Enchatria Girls: The Movie", is the twenty four TV special, and the first to take place in Generation 2 of Enchatria Girls. The story is a reimagining of the origins of Enchatria and how the main characters first met, and is very different from the story presented in earlier webisodes such as A New Girl in School.
==Story==
As a group of strange peoples heads toward a spooky-looking school on a hill, Lori Creaser narrates that peoples going to school is just as normal for them as anyone else. But how did a school for monsters come about? Lori takes us back to the beginning when Enchatria High was just her father's mansion...
Lori is listening to her favorite popstar Tash in her room when her father summons her to the mansion's roof to teach her how to transform into a bat and fly. After a few failed attempts, Lori gets the hang of it, and the two take a flight over the nearby town. Lori spots a billboard for Tash's upcoming concert and asks her father if she can go; Lenny tells her no, explaining that it's too dangerous for her to be among humans. Lori complains that she never gets to leave her home and experience the outside world and flies off in a sulk, passing by an old power station. As she passes, a figure watches her from a window...
Lori returns and records a video to her blog (which has no followers) about how she wants to have friends when someone knocks on the front door for the first time in years. She opens the door to meet the best friends, Wendy Wonders, who saw her passing by the old power station. Lori offers to let her stay at the mansion, and though Lenny is reluctant, she and Frankie convince him with their best cute expressions.
They spend the night chatting about their lives, and both agree that they want to have normal lives like the humans do and wish they could have more friends and go to school like ordinary people. They hit on the idea of opening a school for Peoples and decide to find more peoples to help with their plan.
After searching around the town, they search the nearby moors and come across a pack of wolf puppies... and a very angry wolf. They see the wolf wears a necklace and realize it must be a werewolf. Inviting her to join their school, the wolf transforms into Rachel Finster and asks if her mother and brothers can join them. After some convincing, Lenny lets the Wolf family move in and soon comes to enjoy their presence.
Now onboard with Lori's plan, the group works together to convert the mansion into a school. But they still need students. Wendy teaches Lori how to put her blog on the secret Internet, and soon it has thousands of followers and several monsters requesting to join Enchatria High. To bring them to the school, Lenny gives the ghouls a Enchatria Mapalogue, a magical amulet that can teleport them to any people in the world, provided they know their name. They decide to use it to find the first name on their list and teleport to a pyramid in Egypt, where they meet the glamourous mummy Judy von Puckett. Then, they head to Australia to meet the sporty sea creature Gina Miller. The five of them then travel around the world and pick up various monsters, including Keith Evans, Pamela McIvy, a shy antartica named Wilma, and a greedy nerdy named Gordy. Other peoples arrive from afar, and soon Enchatria High is full of new students, attending classes taught by Lenny and Rachel's mother.
Lori worries that her father might need help looking after the school, and Wendy suggests they run as Student Council Presidents. They make a campaign video, promising that they will work to make a world where humans and monsters can live together and that they will put on a huge dance party if they become presidents. Lori becomes a little too eager and adds that if they win, they'll arrange for Tash to perform at the dance, something which does not go over well with her father. Just then, they receive a message from a monster named Rebecca Strips and decide to pick her up.
The Girlfriends teleport to a graveyard, which is overrun with zombies. They meet Rebecca, the one controlling the zombie army, and invite her to join Enchatria High. Rebecca declares she's more interested in taking over the human world and sends her minions to capture the ghouls. The ghouls fight off the zombies using their powers and make a quick escape.
The next day, life continues as normal at Enchatria High, as the girls anticipate the dance once Lori and Wendy win the election. Suddenly, Rebecca and her zombies appear, claiming to accept Lori's invitation to join the school. She mocks the ghouls, claiming their efforts haven't brought peoples out of hiding, just made them hide in one place. She decides to run for Student President and is soon charming the other students, even though she makes no secret about how she would love to eliminate humans.
Just before the candidates make their first speech, Rebecca spots Gordy, the nerdy guy crying about being unable to get into the vending machines, and convinces him to go to the nearby human town and take food from there. At the election, Wendy and Lori promise to continue to make a world where humans and monsters can get along, while Rebecca claims their dream is impossible and that humans should be running in fear from the peoples. She then makes a bet with Lori to drop out of the race if Lori can convince Tash to appear at the dance.
The girls set out to find Tash's tour bus and cause it to stop, giving Lori a chance to talk to Tash herself and ask her to appear at the school. But when Tash sees Lori's fangs, she panics and tells her to go away so that the normies don't see her. The ghouls return to a gloating Rebecca. Things become worse when they see a news report on the TV about how a nerdy, which fits the description of Gordy, has stolen all the food from a local store and left a trail which could lead to Enchatria High/ Lori wonders if she made a terrible mistake in creating Enchatria High.
The next morning, Lori awakes to good news. Despite Rebecca's efforts, she and Wendy have been voted Student Presidents. What's more, Gordy reveals he returned the food he stole to the store, meaning Enchatria High is still safe. The girls start setting up for the dance, while an angry Rebecca comes up with another idea. She and her minions set out to find Tash's tour bus...
As night falls, the dance is in full swing. Suddenly, the tour bus crashes onto the dance floor. Rebecca and her zombies appear, holding Tash hostage, and declares that she's going to turn Tash into a zombie so she can truly understand what being a monster is like. Lori and her friends remember the Enchatria Mapalogue and use it to teleport on top of Rebecca and separate her from Tash. Rebecca sends her minions to attack them, but the students fend them off with their powers, while Lori takes on Rebecca by screeching at her in bat form and manages to knock her off the stage. But at the last moment, Rebecca leaps at Tash to attack her... only to pass right through her body.
Tash admits that she is actually a ghost named Ari Boosterton, and she can take on a solid human form to fit in with other humans. Lori tells her that she shouldn't be ashamed of who she really is and that she can be herself at Enchatria High. Ari apologizes for her earlier behavior and offers to perform at the dance for everyone. As the monsters party into the night, Rebecca sneaks away, vowing to return and take revenge...
The next day, Lori reports on her blog that Ari has become Enchatria High's official ambassador and hopes that it's the first step toward superhumans and humans accepting one another.
In a post-credits scene, a cat dressed in a burrito costume is dreaming on a sofa, going on a boat, and going places. This appears after the Flaunt logo, the Mattel logo, and the end credits.

==Notes==
===References===
* Lori Creaser sings and hums part of Feeling So Amazing at the beginning of the film.
===Continuity===
* In Calling All Girls, Rachel refers to the events of this movie, if not entirely correctly.
===Milestones===
* Ari bosterton, Gordy, Bartie, Sammy, Wilma, Cydial, Lenny Creaser and Maria Finster make their cartoon debuts.
* Ari bosterton, Gordy, Bartie, Sammy, Wilma, Cydial, Lenny Creaser and Maria Finster make their 3D cartoon debuts.
===Errors===
* The opening sequence of Lori Creaser learning how to turn into a bat raises some questions in regards to Angelica Creaser. The general implication of the Enchatria Girls Family line is that peoples are born more monstrous and grow up to be more human-like. Angelica herself is a lot more bat-like, wings and all, than the older Lori. So how come transforming into a bat is something vampires have to learn?
* Why exactly would the mapalogue fall out of use if monsters have to go into hiding? Wouldn't it be the safest way to keep in contact with each other?
* When the Girl Squad zaps into the Rebecca's graveyard, they are wearing their helmets. As they stand up from the fall, they are without helmets.
* So if no one was going to vote for Rebecca, why were they all acting like they were? She wasn't threatening anyone; her campaign was solid arguments and goodwill only.
* Both Lori and Wendy put their hands on Ari's shoulder towards the end of the movie, which should not be possible when she is in ghost form.
===Other===
*This is the first movie made for Enchatria Girls by Pixel Zoo Productions and Mattel Creations.
*The score was composed by Daniel James (HybridTwo) and produced by Klaus Badelt, who was also responsible for composing the score of Pirates of the Caribbean and co-created "He's A Pirate" with Hans Zimmer.
* This is the second Enchatria Girls movie to get a release in movie theaters instead of direct-to-DVD, also known as direct-to-video. The first was 13 Wishes.
