It's no surprise that Hotel Transylvania was the number one film at the US last weekend and it help revived the box office after weeks of slump, the animated film was highly entertaining and the actors who did the voices are full of energy and had excellent chemistry due to the fact that they're all friends in real life. It also helped that the name recall of the horror staples that we all know like Dracula and Frankenstein are there, not in a scary but in a whole-hearted fun way.
Dracula (voiced by Adam Sandler) built a hotel catered mostly to creatures of his kind, away from the human world, many many years back, in honor of his late wife, and to protect her daughter Mavis (voiced by Selena Gomez) from the outside world, most especially humans, in which he expressed disgust of.
Flash forward to current times, Hotel Transylvania is celebrating Mavis' 118th birthday and Dracula invited all his friends including Frankenstein, The Invisible Man and The Mummy to name a few as guests.
But all breaks loose when a young American backpacker Jonathan (voiced by Andy Sandberg) accidentally discovers the hotel and he and Mavis fall in love too. Now it's to Dracula to settle things down.
Great supporting voices led by Kevin James, Fran Drescher and Steve Buscemi, excellent animation and witty one liners make Hotel Transylvania highly entertaining. It ain't as great as the similarly themed ParaNorman but Hotel Transylvania is bar notches above Adam Sandler's most recent films and other animated films that came out early this year.
