Hotel Transylvania (2012)

This is one of my favourite films. I am still a little girl at heart.

Loved this movie what an amazing movie full of love , emotions,fun and morals, a good movie for kids and adults too ...

Sony's animations are usually hit and miss for me. Infuriatingly they all contain traits that really are destroying the genre. The story centres on Dracula as he creates a hotel for monsters to stay in order to seclude them from the treacherous human world. Preparing for his daughter's birthday party, a human waltzes into the hotel to which Dracula must hide him from the rest of the guests. Hosting an array of famous movie and literary monsters, we are presented with a tsunami of related puns. "Scream cheese" springs to mind. A few hearty moments in an attempt to create some touching scenes ultimately fall flat due to the unfunny screenplay. It tries far too hard to make us laugh, that subconsciously I'm ensuring I feel dead as a zombie whilst watching it. Soooo yes, I didn't smile once. It also gambles on dealing with racial stereotypes, yet fails to make the theme stick with the audience. That's not the biggest crime though. Pop music. God. Damn. Pop. Music. Why? In what world do we witness monsters rapping and dancing to multiple LMFAO songs? There is no point to it. I honestly don't even think children want to watch that either!? It's a trend in the early 2010s that really irked me. The animation was fine, nothing outstanding but fluid enough that they can easily replicate it in order to start a franchise (hint hint...). The voice cast was mediocre, Sandler seemed to be having fun though. The story was a montage of "funny" scenes tied together at the end to create a young romance. Remember kids, don't be a control freak...because it's not fun. I just...I just feel nothing towards this. It's absolutely suited to its target audience, just the lazy and uninspired approach prevents this from being good.

After the death of his wife, Count Dracula became an overprotective father, determined to do whatever he could to keep his daughter Mavis safe from the cruel human world. So he built a big castle which he named Hotel Transylvania, a place for every monster who wanted to stay away from humans. Everything goes according to plan until an actual person accidentally enters the hotel, bringing a lot of problems to Dracula who must act fast in order not to compromise his sacred place (and of course the wellbeing of Mavis).It's an interesting story with monsters, full of funny moments and excitement. We see how a human can dramatically change a world which monsters considered safe and the life of Dacula's own daughter. It's very good looking, very well animated and it has some outstanding music. It had some awkward moments scattered along the way which seemed a bit out of place but it's overall a very good movie. Enjoy!
