Always be yourself. Unless you can be a monster. Then, well…you may find yourself racing across the globe for a cure alongside Mavis, Drac and the beloved creepers in the fourth and final installment of the franchise, Hotel Transylvania: Transformania, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
As Dracula (Adam Sandler) plans to retire and gift his beloved Hotel Transylvania to his daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez), he changes his mind at the last minute -worried that Johnny (Andy Samberg) will ruin what he has built. Disappointed that Dracula still doesn’t embrace Johnny as a member of his family, Johnny seeks help from Van Helsing (from third film) and successfully turns himself into a monster. In the wake of transforming himself, however, Johnny changes Dracula and his band of monster side-kicks – Blobby, Frankenstein, Mummy, Wayne, and the Invisible Man – into humans. Dracula and Johnny set out together to find a secret crystal that will help turn them back accordingly, while learning to rely on and appreciate each other along the way.
We have watched this film at least half a dozen times since its January 14th digital premiere and the girls are WILD for it! The team at Sony Animation did a wonderful job making some of our favorite classic monsters family friendly yet still ghoulishly delightful. And now, taking those same monsters and transforming them into lovable freaks we like to call humans.
The overarching messages of the Hotel Transylvania films stands strong: just because someone or something is different, doesn’t mean they are bad (or wrong); it is far better to accept people (or monsters) for who they are rather than try to change them; some mysteries of the heart can never be explained!
