In 2012, Why Do Ghouls Fall in Love? was C.A. Cupid's first appearance in a Monster High movie. Soon afterwards, the Monster High website announced that Cupid would be transferring to a new school to help more people find their "true heart's desires".

In 2013, Cupid appeared in the Ever After High webisode titled "Here Comes Cupid", confirming that she transferred to Ever After High.

The same year, another Monster High movie titled 13 Wishes was released, and many fans noticed that it contained several Ever After High Easter eggs. One of these Easter eggs was a flashback scene featuring Jiles Grimm, brother to Milton Grimm, the headmaster of Ever After High! @thesewordsofm-i-n-e has a post from the time of this movie's release that pictures said Easter eggs, linked below!

In 2016, yet another Monster High movie Boo York, Boo York provided much more than Ever After High Easter eggs. At the very end, a ghoul named Astronova is on a FaceTime call with two of her friends, telling them that all the worlds they thought were fiction are actually real. Then we see the people on call are none other than Raven Queen and Apple White.

Mattel had allegedly planned for a Monster High/Ever After High crossover movie to release in 2016, under the working title Feary Tale. However, due to Disney's feud with Mattel causing a domino effect that ultimately killed Ever After High and the first generation of Monster High, Feary Tale was never finished.

Interestingly, the Monster High YouTube channel-- which has since been renamed "Mattel Imagine"-- posted short clips of Feary Tale storyboards on May 6, 2016, and according to the Ever After High main Wikipedia page, the franchise didn't officially end until October 7, 2016. The storyboard clips are presented as part of a miniseries in which Draculaura and Clawdeen Wolf go to a cinema and watch a new Hauntlywood film titled The Lost Movie.

In 2017, Little Brown published the final Ever After High book, The Legend of Shadow High by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale. This book was essentially a replacement for The Lost Movie, except it used lore from MH: G2, which kind of accidentally dismissed all the build-up that Mattel had been putting into the Monster High movies and Ever After High webisodes. It's still a good book but it's not exactly the crossover everyone expected.

So where does this leave us now, with Ever After High having been cancelled for a decade and Monster High in its third generation? Well, Cupid's inclusion in MH: G3 has given some fans hope for a second generation of Ever After High, considering Cupid was the first one to bridge the two franchises together.

Other fans, including myself, mourn what Feary Tale could have been. But not all hope is lost, because in addition to the storyboards on YouTube, plenty of concept art has been recovered over the years.

With storyboards and concept art from Feary Tale, as well as The Legend of Shadow High, talented fans have already begun reconstructing The Lost Movie. For example, YouTuber @drawing4fun re-animated the entire labyrinth scene!

@crunchyorochiru has an animatic that combines plot points from The Lost Movie and The Legend of Shadow High!

And creator @butterflycolours just recently assembled a team of fan animators in hopes of re-animating the entire movie!

Think about it. 2 people caught between 2 worlds, lost to one. Cupid should have the ability to travel between MH and EAH, but we don't see that after she joins EAH. Euna presumably would've returned to MH, but her movie was never finished.

Who else in their worlds would understand their experiences? It's not like Cupid can tell anyone at EAH about her ghoulfriends, they wouldn't believe her. It's the same with Euna, no one would believe her unless they saw for themselves (based on the Lost Movie.) They only have each other, and my animatic ends in them seperating 😭.

In the Lost Movie (the crossover between Monster High and Ever After High, often referred to as Feary Tale), Draculaura ends up switching her vampire powers with Raven's Evil Queen powers, Clawdeen's werewolf abilities with Maddie's Mad Hatter abilities, and Cleo's hair color with Apple's hair color.

The most difficult part is setting up the sequence of events,,

Forty-nine.

She doesn’t know how long she’s been held in the tower.

But she knows that it’s been longer than a month.

The sky changes, darkens and lightens. Rain falls and snow melts. Time moves on.

But the walls and floor of the tower, crafted from stone, remain.

Never to grow moss.

Fifty.

There’s no food in the tower. Yet she doesn’t go hungry.

Her bed is a single slab of granite, impersonal.

She prefers to stand anyway.

The princess can only stare out the window carved into the side of the tower. It has a nice view. Trees peek out from behind the horizon and fields of grass wave at her.

No houses.

No people.

Or animals.

Only her.

And the silence.

Fifty-one.

Then. He is there.

A knight. In armor shining like the sun. He strides through the fields of grass, swinging his sword to clear a path.

She sees him. And he sees her.

She can’t believe it. Finally. Rescue is here. Help is here.

The knight disappears beneath the ledge of the window. He’s starting up the stairs. She can’t hear his footsteps, but she knows that it’s only a matter of time.

He’ll reach her.

The princess smiles. Tears fall down her ashen-pale cheeks.

Only a matter of time.

A hand clutches her chest. Her heart is beating, thundering, with anticipation. Excitement.

Only a matter of time.

She listens carefully.

Only a matter of time.

And waits.

A matter of time.

Waits for the sound of footsteps, yelling, sword on bone, flesh, rock, anything.

Waits for a knock on the heavy oak door.

Waits for the knight to break it down.

Waits for…

Fifty-two.

Only a matter of time.

It’s only a matter of time.

She knows that another will come. A knight from a faraway land, a hero in shining armor. One who’ll be strong enough to take the pressure.

And he’ll reach her.

And he’ll finally break the silence.

Some stray observations:

The working title, possibly the intended title, is “Feary Tale”.

Production lasted from about May to August 2015.

Jinafire def would’ve had a minion focus role in this movie. Her presence with the main girls during the campfire scene is unusual enough, and the storyboard’s lingering on her during the gift sequence when there’s no action to show only makes sense if her fate matters to the story. Plus, she’s a dragon, so the Evil Queen probably was like “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” (I wonder if minion-ized students would have been been a doll series.)

Toralei’s quest to have a decent singing voice continues.

The Evil Queen straight up drugs Bloodgood. I still can’t stop laughing.

Gah, I’m a sucker for journey montages set to music. I wonder if the music was finished. I’d love to hear what they had in mind that fits both franchises.

Draculaura’s photo failures are pretty funny too.

“The Evil Queen may have created this place, but the labyrinth also has a life of its own. Some of it is very beautiful.” - Like, this is a pretty important line for both Euna and the Labyrinth and you can’t hear shit of it in the YT uploads.
