HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3: SUMMER VACATION (Theatrical Release USA 2018)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation—continues with the same great voicing cast and a few new additions—maintains its high level of creativity with a terrific storyline and deeply drawn main characters’ well-defined personalities. Great work for Director Genndy Tartakovsky.

Additional Thanks

Thank you to Director Genndy Tartakovsky for directing effort. Thank you to  Executive Producer Mandy Tankenson for making the film possible. Additional characters/cast include: Dracula (voice of Adam Sandler), Jonathan (voice of Andy Samberg), Mavis (voice of Selena Gomez). Frankenstein (voice of Kevin James), Eunice (voice of Fran Drescher), Wanda (voice of Molly Shannon), Wayne (voice of Steve Buscemi), Griffin (voice of David Spade), Murray (voice of Keegan-Michael Key), Van Helsing (voice of Jim Gaffigan), Erika (voice of Kathryn Hahn), and Dennis (voice of Asher Blinkoff).

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. The movie performs at a higher level than the last, doesn’t ‘talk down’ to children, and makes an audience wish for another sequel. Great to see the vampire family and friends again in a superior child/adult share film.
