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

The movie was cute and my little one liked it so I can't be too critical.As for me, it looked like a Disney movie with monsters. Mavis (Selena Gomez) was the Disney princess except she's the daughter of Count Dracula. Same difference. She wants to explore the world outside of the protective bubble created by her father. Her father, based upon his negative experiences, goes to great lengths to keep his daughter from the bad world outside of the Hotel Transylvania walls. Of course that can only last so long and of course there will be a falling out and then the reunification.Everything from beginning to end followed the Disney formula. I guess that's why it did so well.

I did not know this movie was directed by Tartakovsky, which is probably why I liked it as much as I did. He is one of my favorite animation directors and he does a great job in directing this movie as well. The humor is a bit hit or miss, mostly kid-oriented but there were some creative jokes and I laughed out loud a couple times. The cast does a good job for the most part and the movie has some heart to it. Overall, a pretty pleasant surprise that could have benefited from some better writing.

Set in a world in which monsters fear the wrath of human beings, Count Dracula runs a refuge and has to hide the fact that his latest guest is really a lost human backpacker this animated comedy. While never short on imagination, the film begins poorly with lame flatulence and urination gags as well as silly wordplay with terms like "holy rabies" and "scream cheese". The humour does not really improve as the movie progresses either (fingers stuck up noses), but the main characters become well developed and likable, especially the backpacker - an avid horror fan who enjoys interacting with the monsters with a natural curiosity, sticking his hands into skeletons and so forth. Some of the backdrop gags work well too (the backpacker beaten up by an invisible knight) and there is a great sequence towards the end where the monsters come across a town in which they are celebrated as horror legends rather than feared. The film does, however, also become more sentimental as it progresses, especially as Dracula's daughter predictability falls in love, but the overall product is more enjoyable than one might expect from the barrage of toilet humour and groan-inducing wordplay puns early on.
