With plenty of laughs, truly dazzling animation, and some more of the franchise’s signature dance sequences, Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation is a summer treat worth savoring, and a reminder that if we can see past our differences, we’ll find we’re not that different after all.
This is the world bast animation movie series of Sony pictures animation. I am very thankful of Genndy tartakovsky for made this movie series. And after watch this movie series I want to be a animetar like Genndy tartakovsky.
It’s a pleasant mini-break that should keep little monsters quiet for a while, and a welcome excuse to hide in the crypt-like cool of your local multiplex’s air-conditioning.
The’re not a lot of momentum to Hotel Transylvania 3; this is a children’s film after all. But the character and location designs are inventive and appealing, and there are several memorable set pieces, including a wordless scuba diving sequence that draws heavy inspiration from classic Warner Bros. cartoons.
Genndy Tartakovsky brings back all the fan favorites from the previous two films and sets them all on an overcrowded, doomed cruise, but the thin plot feels less engaging than the previous films and the jokes less inspired.
The scenes of Dracula befuddled by a mobile phone were familiar; those in which the vampire’s garlic “intolerance” preludes a flatulence joke predictable. Returning a third time as director, Genndy Tartakovsky lends his usual graphic savvy, providing a not-quite-saving grace.
A rare case where the third movie in a franchise is really good. It is the more of the same approach with expanding of the lore, new characters atop on everything that makes the prequels good. I could end here with the statement “If you like the previous movies you will like this one too”. I will instead go into details. The movie starts with a flashback long ago were the monster gang is on the run from Professor Abraham van Helsing who wants to kill them. Dracula however could always outsmart him and he stopped his attempts long ago. Jump to the present and Dracula is a bit unsatisfying with his life. Everything is running by routine smoothly and it is unsatisfying. Would describe it as burn out or bore out if not even the equivalent of a midlife crisis (If there is a vampire equivalent for a midlife crisis). Atop of this he is still suffering from the dead of his wife even if this happen long ago (he hides this). His family wants to lighten his mood with a family holiday so his daughter Mavis books a cruise and the whole cast joins him. He is not happy about this until he meets the female captain of the ship named Ericka. Meanwhile there is more to this than meets the eye. I stop with this introduction. The story itself fully delivers what you expect in an entertaining way. The story is interesting, the humor works well, old and new characters are enjoyable and the climax is just amazing. I freely admit that it is not the most creative animated movie nor in the realm of the best of the best. However it does not need to be there. It is humorous and entertaining with a cast I care for. This is a good description for a movie that works well. Again we have the whole team of great voice actors with Adam Sandler (works here far better than in his later movies), Selena Gomez, Kevin James, Andy Samberg, David Spade, Frank Drescher and Mel Brooks to just name a few. They again fully deliver and the cast is as enjoyable as humorous. For the new characters we got Kathryn Hahn as Ericka who I enjoyed already in Crossing Jordan (Recommend the show), Jim Gaffigan as excellent Professor van Helsing and Joe Jonas in a role I wont spoil. Like in the prequel the new characters are a good addition to the cast and franchise. The animations are again excellent and I repeat myself that the art style is one of my favorites. It blends in so well with the voice actors. For the first time for this franchise I also praise the soundtrack as they made an amazing use of its potential (I am vague on purpose here but you will know what I mean). Overall this was surprisingly well done. The third movie is in many cases a catastrophe like Alien 3 and Godfather 3 or the weakest so far like Terminator 3. Here they gave us something that succeeds in being the same we enjoyed but still fresh enough to work. The humor in conjunction with the awesome final gets a bonus point for my rating. I recommend all movies in the franchise so far and hope that the next movie will come out soon.
Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacations, is a movie where a different facet of the trilogy is shown, but comparing the two previous movies, they showed us few than the little he showed of the gang, a good development for some of the characters because in others they are not taking effect, and a fun but very simple story.
While being a fan of the first film, the second disappointed a lot until this entry to the Monster saga came out.
I couldn't watch all of it, not one thing I found funny (unsurprisingly it is for kids). The addition to the cast of Kathryn Hahn and Jim Gaffigan were both awful the former being a voice I cannot stand. This particular film lacked what the original had, unfunny moments to make a kid fall asleep and I hope the monsters go back on that boat and sail away, sail away, sail away.... forever.
