Hotel Transylvania (2012) - Movie Review

3D animated movies are in demand these days. Tartakovsky is one of those filmmakers who have attempted making movies of such genres. Although his latest film "Hotel Transylvania" has liveliness and can be a visual treat for the audience of all ages, however it is not thriving as a 3D animated film. 

"Hotel Transylvania" is about Dracula who is an overprotective father and aims on protecting his lovely daughter. Dracula had built a giant hotel named Transylvania to provide monsters with a good holiday away from human being. They say that, his wife was lost to a doubtful crowd while his daughter was a little baby. This hotel is now the most required after vacations purpose for monsters.


The movie rejoices his daughter Mavis's 118th birthday. Monsters of all shapes and sizes are in the guest list who would be celebrating her bid day at the hotel. Mavis has a different vision; she desires to see the world around and meet humans. The horrified and domineering father never wants this and does everything to stop his daughter from doing this.


"Hotel Transylvania" brings an upsetting twist when a traveler guy named Jonathan steps into the hotel. Dracula has all best ways to keep Mavis away from Jonathan. His plans fail when his daughter has a crush on the Jonathan as dreaming of being outside of the sprawling fort she has never left.

On one occasion when the celebrations get on the go, control overprotective father warms up as knowing that a good father knows when to let go. His thoughts lead an answer that is understandable.

With "Hotel Transylvania”, Tartakovsky makes the most of the animated layout by means of original character designs and completed sets with awareness. He with his team manages to capture the extremely large fort and a variety of living things very easily, which would have been hard in an ordinary movie.

Tartakovsky competently manages to go with the astral voice cast with his characters. Adam Sandler represents Dracula whereas Andy Samberg has given voice to Jonathan. Kevin James represents Frankenstein, Fran Drescher tones Eunice and David Spade as the Invisible man, are remarkable. Moreover, Selena Gomez as Mavis and Steve Buscemi as Wolfman are praiseworthy. 

Humor and gags on known monster wisdom keeps "Hotel Transylvania” heartbreaking at a fast beat. The co-writers Smigel and Baynham ensure to provide to the audience with many missing gags.  Excluding this, "Hotel Transylvania” brings feel-good and fun adventure which is not frightening enough. Indeed, it is humorous movie with a optimistic sense. To sum up, "Hotel Transylvania" invites you celebrate a crazy monster gathering that you must attend.
