HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA (Theatrical Release USA 2012)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì

Hotel Transylvania—richly and thickly loaded with unique animation—completely entertains with its initial fast pace and subsequent flow. Even though the movie chooses the old storyline of ‘protective Dad does not want beloved daughter to make independent life choices’, it uses such high impact visual imagery and chooses such an unusual venue that it easily captivates both children and adults for a good family share. Great work for Director Genndy Tartakovsky.
