Plot:
When Vlad, the old-old-old-fashioned vampire father of Count Dracula, arrives at the hotel for an impromptu family get-together, Hotel Transylvania is in for a collision of supernatural old-school and modern day cool.
Reviews:
“It’s an episodic, energetically animated gag factory from the pen of Adam Sandler, and while it’s the best screenplay to bear his name in years, it also warps some overfamiliar family-movie concerns until they become unavoidable in their ickiness.” AV Club
“Given a larger canvas to fill, director Tartakovsky has fun contrasting Johnny’s Northern California stomping grounds with the now-gentrified world of Drac’s formative years, with energetically rendered, more colorful computer-generated results. The evident character development is further boosted by the voice cast…” The Hollywood Reporter
