The movie was cute and my little one liked it so I can't be too critical.As for me, it looked like a Disney movie with monsters. Mavis (Selena Gomez) was the Disney princess except she's the daughter of Count Dracula. Same difference. She wants to explore the world outside of the protective bubble created by her father. Her father, based upon his negative experiences, goes to great lengths to keep his daughter from the bad world outside of the Hotel Transylvania walls. Of course that can only last so long and of course there will be a falling out and then the reunification.Everything from beginning to end followed the Disney formula. I guess that's why it did so well.

This movie is really great, I saw the movie a few times and I enjoyed it every time. Most of the animations that take about an hour and a half are as if there's one thing in them, but the Transylvania Hotel is all about it. It's also one of the funniest animations I've seen throughout my life. The Wayne character repeatedly laughed me during the animation, and whenever I entered the scene, I smiled without doing anything, because I knew that it was now a funny thing to make me laugh, Frankenstein's character was extraordinary. It's time I did not have time to smile because I was chuckling, especially in the sequence that they were looking for Johnny, and suddenly he saw a man who was playing with a ghastly Dracula dress. Frankenstein said that I would laugh if I remembered. . Murray also had a lot of funny things. Dracula and Jonathan were the best of all, and if they were not, this animation would not be the one of the funniest animations I've ever seen. It was really great, since Johnny explained to Dracula how he found the hotel. I laughed two, singing together in the final sequence as far as they were, and not enough to say about these two and their work. The movie is full of cool and funny characters who do not have everything. Now, if we distance ourselves from comedy, I want to talk about the romantic aspect of animation, which is very appealing. I really feel like I can love to touch this animation and understand it. It's Mavis and Jonathan's love that involved me with this animation. This love takes place during the animation between these two forms, and we are very good with romantic scenes and dialogues, for example when Jonathan and Mavis were on the roof of the hotel, and then Mavis first saw the dawn or, for example, the type of the letter Mavis's behavior and behavior is with Johnny in a very romantic party, and it transmits a sense of love to the viewer in such a way that if an acting could play it, he would have had an Oscar. And, of course, Johnny's and Mavis's romance before their second kiss made me feel sad. In the scenes of love, there is also a drama aspect, but there were scenes that were not romantic, but the drama was, for example, Dracula's words to Johnny on the plane, in particular the scene of Dracula's conversation with Mavis in the backbone, which was a bit sad, and The most sad thing about them was that Mavis said: "My dad no longer have a dream. Is it terribly terrible to say such a horrible 18-year-old girl? Someone tells his father that I have no idea. Mavis has been hit hard by his father and depressed. Dracula, who sees the gift of his wife, realizes that he has gone all the way wrong, forgetting the most important thing in life, that is, love, who now finds nothing worse than not seeing his daughter upset by looking for Johnny, and that Finds. Truly this romantic story can not be found in any other animation. The latest animated music, which was read by animation characters, was very cool, and it was one of the songs that everybody ever liked to motivate it in their minds. In a nutshell, I saw a striking animation that I would like to follow in order to be able to meet the characters of the movie; seeing this animation was a memorable experience for me, and I'd love to see them again.

Hotel Transylvania is harmless Halloween fun. It's not as clever as Nightmare Before Christmas and it's not as nostalgic as Mad Monster Party, but my kids liked it and it isn't too scary for their age group. It's a simple story with amusing animation. I recommend it as a good "horror film" for young children.

I had heard a lot about this one being good, so I decided to watch it but was rather underwhelmed. Most of all what kind of bothered me was the constant happy-cheery-jokey kind of stuff going on. I get that the target audience is young children, but I don't think that necessarily means you need to make everything so silly and cheesy. I've seen a lot of really great children's movies that were more serious (though still age-appropriate of course) and only had the occasional funny bit. Especially considering the monster theme, I did not expect this level of silly and cheesy.And while on the topic of the monster theme, that's another thing that kind of bugged me. Maybe I'm just stuck up, I don't know, but it bothers me when creators take too much of a creative liberty with established classical characters or beings/creatures, or in some cases they just got things wrong (like the oh so typical case of calling the monster Frankenstein when that's in fact the name of the man who made him, that's a massive pet peeve of mine, and just generally making his character entirely wrong). I suppose I just prefer more old- fashioned monsters. And... Why is Quasimodo not human, and more importantly, why is he some sort of crazy fiery chef??? Speaking of which, Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame is a pretty good example of how a movie for children can still be pretty dark and serious without CONSTANT comic relief.Overall the movie is not awful or anything, not at all, but much too goofy, over-the-top, predictable to a ridiculous extent, and not very "authentic" with its monsters. I'd say it has too much of a modern tone as well, if that makes any sense. This could have been so much better if the creators had the courage to be more unique.
