Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky
Welcome to Hotel Transylvania, Dracula's lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up and no humans are allowed. One special weekend, Dracula has invited all his best friends to celebrate his beloved daughter Mavis's 118th birthday.

neutral · AI labelView post →Sony Pictures Animation has officially confirmed they’re making a fifth Hotel Transylvania. The film will be titled The Haunting Of Hotel Transylvania and will be released on October 5, 2027. I’m surprised they’re making another one, but I guess we’ll see how this turns out.

It felt like a raunchy, late 90's Cartoon Network Tartakosky original. If you ever wanted a whole movie that looked like the fun 2d animation in the Hotel Transylvania end credits Fixed is it.

After Kpop, Fantasy Fusion is BIG. WHOEVER GREENLIGHTS GENNDYS FIRST SAMURAI JACK TYPE FILM WILL PRINT MONEY WHO WILL IT BE
neutral · AI labelView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Scrooged is my favorite Christmas movie I've been rewatching since I was a kid. Princess Mononoke, still one of the best, beautiful in more than just the animation. The first two Hotel Transylvania were pretty fun, the solid voice cast makes all the difference.
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Hotel Transylvania 3. For all the complaints about the Mario Galaxy movie having a slim plot and being a collection of wacky scenes, honestly I think HT3 is far worse about it. I really enjoyed the first two but this one made me feel like my brain was melting. It wasn’t even very funny.

positive · AI labelView post →I think we both went into the animated movie thinking it was gonna be bad, but really I enjoyed most of it. Some bits really lost me and it was super clear they were just trying to be Hotel Transylvania, but it was still 100x better than the Netflix show lol.

positive · AI labelView post →Now that I really think about it, a lot of my issues with the Hotel Transylvania films, first three at least, are nothing more than nitpicks at worst with like one or two genuine issues. And the genuine issues I do have primarily falls with pacing. Especially the second and third film.

We already have Hotel Transylvania (Genndy), Illumination Mario movies (Horvath / Jelenic), the upcoming SpongeBob movie (Derek Drymon), and even movies from Rebecca Sugar and Matt Braly.

neutral · AI labelView post →So Hotel Transylvania is the next animated movie franchise to have a fifth installment. (It hasn’t even turned 15 yet, but it will come out on it’s 15th anniversary) I won’t be surprised if Despicable Me 5 becomes a thing, but for now, Illumination is definitely taking a break from their first IP.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Leo Happy Madison returns to animation with Adam Sandler as a tuatara. Think he works best as just a voice in a film like Hotel Transylvania as the first 30 minutes didn't start off well with it's writing. But it does improve to becoming a decent film at best.
