The more beautiful it is, the more labor intensive I'm reminded it also is. I don't mind computer graphics if they're well done, and the comparative effortlessness of the technique lets me take it for granted much easier. This actually looks like a blast, if it's not too Adam Sandler-y.

My kids liked it so much that they asked if we could buy it when it comes out on DVD. It felt like a big budget and fast paced Mad Monster Party. The film was fun and entertaining. I recommend this as a Halloween season family film.

The funny thing is Universal gave Sony a list of dos and donts when it came to the monsters look. While these characters are public domain, Universal owns certain copyrighted aspects. So they told Sony. NO bolts in the monsters neck. The monster can't be a certain shade of green. Dracula cannot have a red cape. Dracula cannot have a widows peak. etc etc. Boy talk about anal. The Catch of the Day!

Man, when Universal released "VanHelsing" they must have gotten slammed for how authentic/vintage looking those monsters were... I'm totally down for seeing this one. I'm sure it'll be corny in a lot of ways, but I loved a lot of stupid corny kids monster films growing up, so this should be just fine.

Oct 2 12 8:18 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	So from the postings here it sounds and in the trailers it looks like Hotel Transylvania is basically Mad Monster Party 2012.Cool! That works for me. Mad Monster Party wasn't all that good although I love it. This sounds right up my alley. Now and back then. opticalguy1954@yahoo.com (Spencer Gill)

Oct 2 12 9:28 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Yeah, well...it doesn't really work for me. I may still see this, but, while I have no problem with Adam Sandler, I'm not thrilled with a comparison to MAD MONSTER PARTY. That ol' thing has always promised so much more than it delivered. Always found it a bore.

I still don't know where they got the stereo typical Dracula look. I know the black cape with the collar came from Lugosi but the red lining was from Christopher Lee the widows peak also came from him. The tuxedo and medallion were Lugosi. I think the gloves probably came from Carradine. but where does the sash come from. This Dracula in Hotel Transylvania seems a mixed of Lugosi and Lee.

Oct 6 12 7:20 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Well, that kind of sucked. Pretty much the very definition of lazy screenwriting. There was really nothing there that I would think of as clever, or well done. I did laugh at a line about being staked in the heart, and a sight gag of the poor wolfman not being able to sleep. Other than that, the most going for it is some nice design. That, and it might be the very first time ending credits were actually WAY better than the film. The paintings at the end are gorgeous and are almost worth the price of admission. My fanzine all about Rock N Roll: www.sonicruin.com
