Children’s entertainment network Nickelodeon will introduce familiar movie characters — only this time, it will include their pronouns.
Monster High The Movie, airing Oct. 6, has already released an interaction between two characters sharing their pronouns with each other in a recent preview. In the clip, Frankie Stein claims the pronouns they/them, and Clawdeen claims she/her.
This live-action musical film is a retelling of an animated web series that began on YouTube in 2010. Nickelodeon’s recent iteration comes out of a 2021 partnership with Mattel Television, which also created a line of dolls of the main characters, who are all teenage monsters. An additional animated series will follow.

Frankie Stein is supposed to be the teenage daughter of Frankenstein’s monster and his bride from Mary Shelley’s novel. This is the first time the character is being portrayed as anything other than a female character. Transgender actor Ceci Balagot, who goes by he/them pronouns, plays the singing monster. Balagot previously played a role in the Boy Meets World reboot Girl Meets World from 2014-2017.
