The animated monster mash family comedy from Adam Sandler and Samurai Jack creator Genndy Tartakovsky returns, with Selena Gomez, Andy Samberg, Fran Drescher and Mel Brooks all providing their voices for the sequel.
Dracula is now the proud grandfather of daughter Mavis and Jonathan’s son Dennis, but while the young boy is clearly human in appearance, he doesn’t seem to be growing into his vampire powers yet. Worried that his grandson may never inherit his family’s gifted genes, Drac takes the child and the rest of the gang to the ruthless boot camp where he first learned to be a monster.

"In the woeful age that I have dubbed A.S.S. (the Adam Sandler Spiral), 2012’s Hotel Transylvania proved that The Waterboy could solidly lead an enjoyable comedy – albeit as an animated, family-friendly Dracula.

The Telegraph
The Telegraph"The whole thing is amiable and colorful and surprisingly low on body-function gags. It may not kill you to take your kids."

The New York Times
The New York Times"By the end of this 89-minute film, I was absolutely on the edge of my seat. Not due to suspense, but due to my utter disdain for the infantile plotting."

The Guardian
The Guardian"Tartakovsky is a talented director who knows how to telegraph what an animated character is thinking and doing and how to move a character in ways that suggest personality. He deserves a more interesting assignment."
