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 you have Genndy Tartakovsky who created Samurai Jack as the director and Robert Smigel who created the The Ambiguously Gay Duo as one of the writers, it's going to be nothing less than stellar.

Looks like Adam Sandler has found his animated franchise following up the decent Hotel Transylvania with a sequel that was funnier that the first. He's not gonna top his fellow Saturday Night Live Alums, Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy who hold it down with Shrek, but it's a good hardy laugh.

In the sequel, Dracula has more daughter issues when Mavis and her human husband want to movie to sunny California and raise their son Dennis normal. Drac's only hope is if his grandson shows signs of being more monster than human, and with the help of his monster gang he tries to influence the outcome.

Though the voice cast was an impressive who's who even in the small parts. Nothing topped Mel Brooks performance as Vlad, Drac's dad, that was my favorite.

It's a perfect family picture which means anyone, any age will enjoy it.
