This actually looks super cute, and I’m not even a big fan of “monster/Halloweeney” movies in general. I saw the trailer for the first time when I went to see Brave with someone I met on twitter, and she said she wants to take me to see Hotel Transylvania when it comes out. I’m more than willing to give it a watch!
I think it will be engaging and fun. I’m not expecting super deep, emotional themes or anything, but I like that there is an established father-daughter relationship being shown here. I don’t think we see that enough in animated films.
Amy: I think that’s the point, though! The daughter wants to be with this guy, but he’s a human, so obviously her dad flips out and is like nnnooOOOOO can’t date him!!! And from what I’ve seen of the trailer, it’s a bunch of his attempts to get rid of the boy and keep him away from his daughter because he knows they’re ~in love~. Unless I read into it wrong. I don’t know.
I don’t think I have to “spoiler” any of that because it was already in the trailer. ;o;
I liked that trailer quite a bit. Tartakovsky is highly talented and the characters designs have a fun look to them. The plot seems like it will be predictable, but it seems like a fun movie with a nice aesthetic at least! And yesss, Steve Buscemi!
Maybe they will fall in love early on, and most of the movie will be about her father’s reactions and getting to know the boy and accepting him. If so, then it won’t bother me.
Here’s a musical clip that shows more of the movie and characters (maybe a little too much?). Anyway, the character designs look better with every peek offered…love that Mummy!
Great animation
The story of Dracula who is the owner and creator of Hotel Transylvania, a five-star resort where the world’s monsters can be safe from human civilization. Dracula invites some of the most famous monsters like Frankenstein and his wife Eunice , Murray the Mummy , Wayne and Wanda Werewolf , Griffin the Invisible Man, Bigfoot, Steve the Blob, and other monsters to celebrate the 118th birthday of his daughter Mavis…
Though i have played the game also but movie was pretty awesome
HT was pleasant and enjoyable, but not so memorable overall. The character designs and animation were the eminently worthwhile highlight, story and characters fairly standard. Not a lot of emotional impact there. But it’s good to see Sony Pictures Animation with a bona fide surprise success on its hands–it was certainly overdue, and it might have been the light that pulled SPA out of a tunnel. Also, there will be Hotel Transylvania 2 in 2015. Good for SPA!
