Storyline
The Drac pack is back for an all-new monster comedy adventure in Sony
Pictures Animation's Hotel Transylvania 2! Everything seems to be
changing for the better at Hotel Transylvania... Dracula's rigid
monster-only hotel policy has finally relaxed, opening up its doors to
human guests. But behind closed coffins, Drac is worried that his
adorable half-human, half-vampire grandson, Dennis, isn't showing signs
of being a vampire. So while Mavis is busy visiting her human in-laws
with Johnny - and in for a major cultural shock of her own - "Vampa"
Drac enlists his friends Frank, Murray, Wayne and Griffin to put Dennis
through a "monster-in-training" boot camp. But little do they know that
Drac's grumpy and very old, old, old school dad Vlad is about to pay a
family visit to the hotel. And when Vlad finds out that his
great-grandson is not a pure blood - and humans are now welcome at Hotel
Transylvania - things are going to get batty!
User Reviews
When I first heard this
movie was announced I did not know what to think. The first one was
entertaining, witty and brought a new spin the old story of a dad not
thinking the "slacker dude" is good enough for his daughter. There have
been many occasions where sequels either aren't as good as the original
or wear out the original concept too much. This movie thankfully does
neither of those things. From start to finish this movie feels fresh and
unrestricted by the expectations set by the first.
If you've seen any of the previews you already know the plot. Johnathan, the human from the first movie, and Mavis, Dracula's own daughter, get married and have a child which they are raising in Dracula's hotel. Count Dracula, proud of his own heritage as a monster, wishes for his grandson becoming a vampire like himself and is concerned when he does not show signs of being a monster. He also wishes to raise him the traditional monster way. This of coarse begins to clash with the human teachings from the other half of his family and cause the conflict of the entire movie. Said conflict is whether or not young Dennis should be raised in the hotel or in the monster-less safe human world. Though this plot sounds like the first one remixed, I feel it is more of a continuation as good sequels should be.
The animation is on par if you've seen the first movie, which is not bad. The animation of the first movie was active and full of life and that same attention drawing quality animation is here again. Everything in this movie flows to an unseen rhythm and nothing feels stiff or artificial. That's not saying there aren't a few scenes that are more dynamic then the first movie, because there is, but as a whole if you liked the animation from the first movie you will like it here as well.
As far as the characters go everyone is as kooky as they were in the first movie. Adam Sandler's brilliant comedic version of Dracula taking center stage, leading the still funny renditions of classic movie monsters. As Dracula, Sandler is just the right amount of hammy without it being off-putting. Such a performance makes it seem as if the over the top way movie monsters acted in our films was just the "old way" of acting for them.
The mood and colors used in the movie are a great mix of themes. The moody backdrops with dank dark colors fit the horror movie style the characters in the movie originate from perfectly. Then add some bright colors to mimic the happy comedic tone of the movie. Combining this together you have a brilliant mix of happy and spooky that made both the first movie and this one enjoyable for everyone.
When it comes down to it Hotel Transylvania 2 is a heartwarming family movie full of comedy that everyone, whether you're big or small, can enjoy.
