Hotel Transylvania (2012)

[samuelrichardscott]

Adam Sandler is Dracula, Kevin James is Frankenstein, Fran Drescher is his Bride, David Spade is the hunchback of Notre Dame Quasimodo, Steve Buscemi and Molly Shannon are a married pair of werewolves, Cee Lo Green is a mummy and Andy Samberg is Jonathan, the regular 21-year old who falls for Mavis for this animated horror.

Official synopsis:

Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula's (Sandler) lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free from meddling from the human world. But here's a little known fact about Dracula: he is not only the Prince of Darkness; he is also a dad. Over-protective of his teenage daughter, Mavis, Dracula fabricates tales of elaborate dangers to dissuade her adventurous spirit. As a haven for Mavis, he opens the Hotel Transylvania, where his daughter and some of the world's most famous monsters – Frankenstein and his bride, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of werewolves, and more – can kick back in safety and peace. For Drac, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem – but his world could come crashing down when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis.

Sounds interesting IMO. They are using the whole array of monsters rather than focusing it seems so it'll be good to see how they manage to gel it together without being aimed at to young a crowd. This is the sort of animated story that could have something for adults IMO so I hope it manages to have those jokes that go over the heads of kids.

While I thought this was live-action I just rolled my eyes at the cast. Then I saw it's animated and thought that the cast is not quite that bad then.

Let me see what they come up with and I'll decide if I see it
