Monster High 2 (2023)

My rating: 5/10

The "witchcraft as a queer metaphor" thing in this works even less well than the racism metaphor in the first movie, and the vaguely positive platitudes abound, to the point where half the songs don't actually seem to be about anything except a vague sense of, pardon the thematically appropriate pun, "ghoul power".
