Why I’m Glad that Hotel Transylvania is Over | Hotel Transylvania: Transformania Review 

It’s odd. Because Johnny wasn’t always like this. He wasn’t all that hyper. He was always the chill slacker bro type…why did that change?

I think the problem with the "this is a kids movie" argument is that the first movie's entire concept never started that way. The movie told a story of loss of a loved one and having to hide your daughter away from the world because of the fear and prejudice of humans, your daughter thinking they might have changed yet you feeling that humans could never change and even if they could you can't send the only thing you have left in the world out there off of a chance. It's an engaging premise that can tell a darker story. That's why adults criticize the movie for what it became because it had the potential to tell a story unlike any other ever told.

What bums me out about the premise to this movie is it had the potential to dive into some interesting territory. Mavis and now her father have humans as their significant others who will surely pass on while Mavis and Dracula stay immortal And the fear from that would have them debating whether or not they should give up their identity as monsters to avoid that heartbreak, Mavis in particular as she's shown throughout these movies that she jives more with humans. But I guess that's expecting too much from this franchise.

kudos to Brian Hull for getting to voice Dracula as his biggest break ever, and despite Adam Sandler not returning to voice the character!

I’ll be honest, I like the first three movies. They’re cartoony as hell, but they’re harmless, and fun watches. What I didn’t like about this one? It didn’t feel like a finale at all. It felt more like a Nickelodeon special.

Brian Hull does a good job voicing Drac in this movie. He even said he had a good time with this.

Hotel Transylvania 4 would've been better if the reason why Johnny and Drac got transformed was because of Mavis and Ericka. The setup would've been Jonathan did something so dangerously stupid that it caused him to be hospitalized and almost die. This could cause Mavis to come to the realization that Jonathan is mortal, which means she'll outlive him. Ericka, being her new mom, could notice that something was troubling Mavis and ask her what was wrong. Once Mavis explains, Ericka could try to assure her that everything will be ok at first. Then maybe she could discover the old painting of Drac's wife, marvel at her beauty, then realize that she too is mortal and will grow old and die one day. These intrusive thoughts could allow Van Helsing to introduce them to the transformation ray gun, thus causing Jonathan and Drac to be transformed. Mavis and Ericka could keep their motives a secret and try to encourage Drac and Jonathan to play along in their new roles and convince them that this "freak accident" was a good thing. Eventually, Mavis and Ericka will lament at how changing Drac and Jonathan also got rid of what made both of them fall in love in the first place and cause them to go on an expedition to the island to get a new crystal to change them back. The conflict will be the reveal that Mavis and Ericka changed them without their consent due to the insecurity of their futures. Drac and Jonathan will be mad at first, but once Mavis and Ericka explain why they did it they could hug them, understand where they came from, and assure them that no matter how much they change they'll always love them. This plot wouldn't be perfect, but it would've at least given Mavis and Ericka some much-needed development and character exploration and added some maturity to the series.

I liked the first three movies, but nearly hated the fourth one all because of Johnny. If they had to include him, at least show Johnny that he needs to change and be more responsible. The opening if the movie perfectly displayed that when a chandelier nearly crushed some hotel guests because of his actions. Maybe if Drac learned to be more chill while Johnny learned to be more responsible would have been a better message. Throughout most of the movie, I was rooting for Drac, which is something I can’t say with the other three. That’s how unlikeable Johnny is.

100% agree with you. Johnny is so annoying, in first movie he was...well fine But later he's like a kid. Dennis is more mature than him lol.

In terms of creature design, Johnny as a dragon or whatever he's supposed to be is messy to put it lightly. It might be just me but there's too much going on visually with the bright greens, yellow n orange color along which also includes his already existent bright clothes n little to no complementary color n the only thing trying to balance it out is his hair which says a lot since he's a red head. The disastrous color scheme along with the exaggerated n over energetic squash n stretch noodle-like movement makes him even more obnoxious on screen than he was as a human sometimes. Seriously, it's like a toddler's crayon scribble came to life. Some would say the crazy design fits his personality which should be the point of a design but this is Johnny, who is already loud, hyperactive n obnoxious alone as a human, so dealing with a monster version of him n amping up his annoying antiques is more than unwanted.

In all honesty, this is the calmest review of a Hotel Transylvania movie he has ever did. But considering that Sony Pictures animation is good now, it makes sense.

I see no point of this movie: Dracula has accepted his son-in-law as a human for 3 movies now did this film forget the last 3 movies happened? Also why doesn't he just ask his wife to turn him into a vampire? I really hate that he does this dramatic change for his father-in-law's approval but doesn't talk to his wife about it. At least in Shrek 2 Shrek had Fiona's feelings in mind when he took the human potion for the both of them and made sure he let her know what was going on instead of kissing her before midnight without asking her.

Honestly this movie makes me wanna look back at the previous 3 films in a much more generous way. I'm not a fan of this franchise either, but seriously this movie went up to the point where they retcon the first 3. Like they retcon the idea of Johnny being part of the family just for some stupid plot device.

The three things I wish they had done in the Hotel Transylvania series is 1)Have Johnny mature after thr second film. 2)Not have Drac relearn the same lesson over and over again. 3)Have Johnny become a vampire. Bonus wish: That studio executives stop meddling in things they don't understand, not everything has to be "hip, cool and with it." Not everything needs a Sequel or a follow up.

One reason why I don’t like Johnny, is what does Mavis see in him? He’s childish, not that good of a father, honestly not that attractive, and annoying. And does she ever give a reason why she loves him? And I mean, genuine love

Even as a Hotel Transylvania fan myself, i am glad this franchise is finally over. I even think the 4th one was the most weakest one, they could've just ended it with the third movie but oh sure... sony animation just had to make one more 😑 Still i am glad that this franchise is finally over, like i really don't want it be another ice age franchise by getting way too many movies.

Well, I would say that for now the era of more family-humored Sony Pictures Animation is over, and now comes the era of Sony Pictures Animation where they'll be more experimental, including releasing two Spider-Verse sequels and even Genndy will come back for *R-rated Sony Pictures Animation films!*

R.I.P. Hotel Transylvania 2012-2022 It existed.

Look, I don't expect these Hotel Transylvania movies to be as deep and story driven as Netflix's Castlevania, but the Hip and Cool with the kids thing and Trendy Pop Music did get old after a while.

I feel so bad about Johnny's character, because I absolutely love it in the first movie. I thought that he'll perform that one "cool dad" role, but instead they just pushed him away in the next two parts, making him nothing, but a henpecked husband, and in Transformania totally spoiled him up

I love how much "I am just DONE with this shit!" energy Animat has in this review.

Looks like not even a SpongeBob veteran could save this franchise. Seriously though, instead of being directed by Tartakovsky, the fourth film is directed by Derek Drymon who is best known for his work on SpongeBob. Who knew a yellow talking sea sponge had more appeal than overly cartoony monsters?

It's sad that Drac had zero good points when it came to giving the hotel to Johnny, but he should've given the hotel to MAVIS. You know, HIS DAUGHTER?? 4th movie plot drops right there. Hell the road trip should've been between Mavis, Johnny and Dennis, with maybe Winnie in toe. Drac should've stayed in the hotel and took care of the chaos.

I think it’s for the best that Hotel Transylvania have to end like this. At least Sony Animation can focus on making good content after this. In fact, from the looks of it, it feels like Sony just wanted to get the franchise over and done with.

Who doesn't love Brian Hull? He's a FANTASTIC voice actor!

I don't think Johnny was that bad in the first film but i do admit he's gotten worst in the sequels. It almost feels that Johnny was only created as a self insert character for the writers or whatnot instead of being a character that develops and grow which is why he doesn't get criticize and whatnot in these films

I can understand your hatred of Johnny, the guy’s a frigging man-child! He doesn’t seem to have a job in any of the films and only stays in the Hotel because it provides the benefit of not having to go back to the states and find one and acts immature for his age. No wonder Dracula was hesitant about giving the Hotel to him. Ironic that his son Dennis is a more mature character than his dad.

I feel the drac's voice is almost a mayrochica doll of impressions: Its a guy doing an impression of Adam Sandler who is doing an impression of Dracula which itself is an impression of Romanians.

Ice Age Franchise: *Back from the dead* Hey did you guys, did you missed us?! How fitting this and Open Season finished off with a 4th sequel! Too bad I can't say the exact same thing for Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs. As for the franchise Itself; It'll might get more spin-off series before permanently put to rest! Also If Johnny *REALLY* wanted to be a monster so badly; *WHY COULDN'T HE ASKED MAVIS IN THE 2ND IR 3RD MOVIE ANYTIME HE WANTED UNTIL THIS 4TH INSTALMENT!?!?!?!*

it's the last installment, and it totally feels like someone's fanfic got mixed up with the actual script

Honestly whenever I hear " But it's for kids " or " It's a kids movie! " about a movie that sucks and didn't need any deep harsh criticism I'm honestly like " So your saying is kids don't deserve good quality movies and that they're dumb stupid babies. "

I actually really loved the first one. I thought it was a fun, interesting spin on the classic horror monsters and had some clever visual gags, funny character interactions and genuinely wholesome moments. I watch it every Halloween season. It's just a huge shame that the series quickly started to dip in quality, starting with the sequel. The constant reusing of the same plot just felt so pointless. Even the bouncy, rubbery animation went from visually pleasing to obnoxiously over the top. It definitely went from a family series to a kids' series.

Thank goodness that Genndy Tartakovsky DIDN'T directed "Hotel Transylvania: Transformania" because I really loved his EPIC Cartoon series like Samurai Jack including my favorite adult show PRIMAL.

The only good thing about this movie is that Adam Sandler did not return to this movie to advertise people into seeing this film. I am so sick of seeing just celebrities in these animated movies.

Johnny was always a great element to work on in the films. He was constantly pushed to the side when it came to physical confrontation such as in the second movie, leaving Johnny not so much an irrelevant character, but a weak character. As a father you'd expect his lack of physical ability to protect his family when the bat monsters came, or when the Kraken went postal in the 3rd movie, to be a deep source of contention in him. While in the 3rd movie Johnny played an important role in terms of counter acting Van Helsing's musical control over the Kraken, for everything else he was next to useless. I always imagined that the 4th movie would be Johnny more exploring this side of his role in the family, that while he's not unimportant, he feels incapable when important or dangerous situations come up. And to counter act this he would reflect on finding the need to become an Vampire to be able to at least replicate Dracula's and Mavis's abilities when the need arises. Compound on that the fact that as a human he would age and die of old age much much sooner than Mavis or even Dracula. This could in a way carry over to Erika as well, since she's human as well the longetivity difference between Erika and Drac could expand in terms of how many characters are afflicted by this issue and also still demonstrate the gaps between the human and monster worlds. I would imagine that a 'made' vampire could be more mentally unstable than a 'born' vampire leading to Johnny and possibly Erika eventually being turned back. But in teh process learn that despite not having the same physical capabilities or lifespan as Drac and Mavis, Johnny could find himself being more useful in such situations when he's there and able to apply some extra level of creativity or use of a weapon rather than just his fists for example. And while the lifespan issue would remain largely unanswered (or possibly answered if they decided to have Johnny and Erika turn to vampires and stay vampires) both Johnny and Erika would learn to just accept it as an unfortunate part of the relationships they've found themselves in. Or they could finish that in a 5th movie (god help us), but at least it would be an idea to work towards. Though while I haven't seen the 4th movie yet, it seems they did part of this. They had Johnny's lack of being a monster be an issue, but it's more around Dracula not fully accepting him despite their interactions in movie 2 and 3, and Drac not wanting to hand the Hotel to him, and Johnny taking the eccentricity level up to 20. Plus what turned me off immediately is when they turned Johnny into a dragon of some kind, and a rather goofy one at that. Combine that with my rather noble and majestic view of dragons Johnny's behavior kinda makes the whole thing even less attractive to me.

Finally, it’s over! Let’s say goodbye to Drac and say hello again to Miles Morales. Well, at least when the film comes out in October. This is exactly why some franchises should stop before they overstay their welcome or just be a standalone movie.

I find it funny that the film has the cliched liar revealed trope yet it was done in every film.

This maybe the final Hotel Transylvania movie, but that won't stop fans from thinking up ideas for the franchise. They might come up with a spin-off series about Dennis and Winnie, or the staff, or the guests, or any of the other characters. Or they can do one about Dracula and Erica life after the hotel. Or they can combine the movies with the TV series, I would love to see how Lydia would react if she knew that her brother and her niece are married to humans, and I want Mavis to introduce Johnny to her old friends. If none of these ideas would be made into either the big or small screen, there's always fanfiction.

This was an interesting way to approach the movie and the franchise as a whole. While I do enjoy them myself, you made plenty of valid points regarding your reasons for disliking them.

I never got into the Hotel Transylvania franchise to begin with, but when it comes to this movie, I'm amazed that Brian Hull got a chance to voice Dracula. I've been a fan of his impression videos for years, and to see him voice Drac in this film is incredible. I'm proud of him for getting this opportunity.

I was excited about this movie because it was directed by Derek Drymon, which wrote a lot of the best episodes of SpongeBob (also he was one of the writers of the first SpongeBob movie). But now I understand that the best episodes of SpongeBob were written by more than one person

Just a heads up , Genndy didn't direct this movie. He was responsible for the animation direction and supervision- which explains why HT4 had a fun, wacky, Looney Tunes feel with its animation- that I love! I'm so tired of Disney,Pixar, or other studios try to be so 'realistic' that they forget you can have cartoons be fun and exaggerated.

I gotta say the intro of Hotel Transylvania 4 to be released in theaters and then Amazon Prime is acutally funny joke and hilarious. LOL 😅😂🤣

*Previously on Hotel Transylvania 3 Review* AniMat: At this rate for the sake of the trilogy it should stay a trilogy *Hotel Transylvania 4 Announced*

The final nail on the coffin for Drac and the pack at long last. Happy 10 years to Hotel Transylvania. Best time to put this franchise to bed, or in its final resting place.

Well. We knew this was coming. Even as someone who gets some enjoyment out of these films even I have to admit it's in spite of themselves. We knew this was coming so do your worst Animat! Bash it as hard as you want!

I completely hated how Mavis acted when Drac froze time at the start of the movie to avoid chaos. I mean seriously if Drac didn't intervene then Johnny would've ruined it all. But Mavis doesn't acknowledge any of that. All she sees is Drac ruining Johnny's efforts. Mavis was dislikeable for me. Johnny was straight up annoying. You'd think that a chill dude like him who has emotions (as shown in the first movie) would try to understand Drac a little (Especially since Drac already accepted him). And maybe talk to him, tell him that he won't change the hotel much. Or that he will keep the hotel safe for Drac and for all Monsters but I guess it wouldn't be a movie for kids if Johnny wasn't all loud, annoying and childish. I also wish we had a serious moment/fight/conflict between Mavis and Drac. Like maybe have Mavis be all mad about Drac not wanting to give the key to Johnny and then have Drac explain why he doesn't want the Hotel to change by mentioning that Mavis's mom got killed by humans. That's the thing, Mavis says Humans and monsters can live togheter peacefully and she's right but she ignores the fact that that wasn't the case in the past. Monsters were being hunted so naturally Drac made a safe heaven for him, Mavis and all monsters.

It kinda sucks that THIS had to be Brain Hull's big break. Like I'm glad he can get out there but... he's gonna have this to his name forever.

Hotel Tranyslvania should have been a tv show rather than a movie series. It had some great potential for tv to be as good as Dexter's Lab or Samurai Jack.

Hotel Transylvania fans when Animat reviews another sequel: “How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man!?!”

I wasn't all into this movie, but I phrase Brian Hull's voice portrayal of Dracula, it's about time he was hired to do a voice role, it's like he can do an Adam Sandler impression.

Even I didn't mind the first movie, I do agree that the sequels suck and I do think the franchise would have worked better as a tv series (in Genndy Tartakovsky's hands I mean, not that mediocre 2017 show that Tartakovsky himself wasn't involved at all). Plus, I'm with AniMat that Johnny can really get on my nerves.

Sony said a while ago that they want to focus on more adult animations. And with the idea of "Black Knight" also made by Genndy, it seems like a CG version of Samurai Jack. Hopefully we hear more about this and other adult oriented projects.

If you want to see the character of Johnny done right, look no further than Pinkie Pie in "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." Pinkie Pie is Johnny done right.

Johnny: YOU HATE ME!!! Dragon: Yes. I do. A lot.

Apparently the 1st film originally had a darker edge to it before it was changed.. And in my opinion, I would have loved to have seen how that film played out

I can happily agree with you that the Hotel Transylvania franchise is the most uninspired that I have ever seen. Ever since I have seen the trailer for the first film back in theatres in 2012, I knew that this film alongside with others would end up in the bargain bin all because of stories that were so tediously dull that makes elders and even certain children fall asleep at the FIRST MINUTE of the films and animation that is so over the top that it is nauseating than charming and it actually hurts my eyes. PHYSICALLY.

10 years….no way it’s been that long..right?!!?

1:52 2008 Clone Wars tv show: allow me to introduce myself

Time to throw a bucket of holy water on this franchise and call it a day

I feel like Johnny was way better in the first 3 films. Sure, he had times where he could be hyper, but those were at more appropriate times. He mostly a chill dude that I think could have had more to his personality shown throughout the sequels. He's shown to be extremely supportive and caring for others and wanting them to be the best they could be and happy. He also knew when things could become problematic like in the first film, when Mavis said that he wanted to be with him, even though she found out he was human. As much as he wanted to, he saw that there would be issues with them being together because he felt that he was only going to bring more damage to both Mavis and more importantly Drac since Drac literally told him that his wife was murdered by humans, hence why he left. That's what I liked about the old Johnny. He kind of knew when things were going to be problematic and tried his best to try not to let them happen. In the forth however... I hated every single second he was onscreen. I dunno, it's my silly opinion. If you guys have your opinion on Johnny whether or not you love or hate him, I respect your opinions.😁👍

I honestly found the Hotel franchise to be an ok franchise. I did like the first film to be great while the later ones just went downhill quick. I’m glad Sony is putting the franchise to rest, so they can move on to their better works like across the spiderverse. Stick around for Genndy’s adult animated films with Sony with Fixed and Black Knight

Yes!!! I've been waiting to finally hear your opinion about this film Mat!

I get why you dislike these movies, they're not for everybody. I'm aware that these movies aren't super deep or a high bar for animation but I think they're fine amd harmless for what they are. It was nice while it lasted but I am really looking foward to what Sony has in the future.

The first was pretty good. The concept is interesting, Johnny was kinda just a chill dude who’s character contrasted well in this insane hotel filled with monsters, drac had a good arc accepting humans.

I'm still hoping for a 1/10 or 2/10 review this year. I can't believe Arctic Dogs is the last animated film to receive that low of a score

I’m calling it now. If it’s successful on streaming , they’re gonna announce a new hotel Transylvania movie. Just like trolls world tour. But I saw the movie last week, it really was bland and forgettable. It really felt like a 11 minute cartoon stretch into a movie.

The Invisible Man should've just looked like David Spade, would've been funnier.

I found the films harmless but I'm glad that their over so Sony can have more creative freedom and I hope Brian Hull gets more voice roles

Interesting fact: Steve Carell and Jim Carrey were originally considered to replace Adam Sandler and Kevin James to do the voices of Dracula and Frankenstein before Brian Hull and Brad Abrell were confirmed.

The ending of this video is like the resolution to Animat’s long spree of hating sony

I feel like the movies were on a good path until 3 the first focused a lot more on a serious plot like protecting a loved one and the second had a plot of a young kid trying to live up to the expectations of his family and both of these provided equal amounts of time for side characters the third mainly focused on Dracula ericka mavis and Johnny and everyone else felt like filler whereas in the fourth the only characters we really see are the main crew minus Dennis and Winnie which is a shame because they could have made for a better plot and mavis felt like an out of place character which is odd considering how important she was in the past

A comment already said it, but something I liked about the first movie is that the characters had a certain depth. The concept of monsters being afraid of humans, because of how they were hunted in other times to the point that they have an entire hotel to hide in, is a very interesting idea. Also that each character had their fears, desires and goals, which at this point no longer exist. I think what I liked the most about the first one is when they delve into how Dracula lost the love of his life, because it is a moment that matters, and even Jonny acts with seriousness and respect, and that is when we can see Dracula more vulnerable, like also see how humans have changed, and talk about the legend of that lost love. I personally feel like they messed up that whole concept behind Dracula by giving him a new girlfriend in the other movies. It's okay for him to find someone else, but I don't think they've delved into what it's like to lose someone you love and find someone else. Also something I hate is that Jonny never gets any character development and Marvis is basically the one in charge of everything, while Jonny is still basically a man-child. It's annoying after a while, Marvis deserves better

Sony is more like Dreamworks where they make good and bad movies.

I feel like Johnny is the equivalent of waving keys in front of a baby. "Look at the silly! Look at the silly! He go bouncy and loud! Bouncy! Bouncy!!"

Yeah, even as someone that enjoyed the first two movies, I hated this one. I'm debating if whether this or the third film is the worst of the series. But anyway, I'm glad this franchise is over too. Unless, of course, this becomes so much of a success on streaming that a fifth installment gets greenlit, which wouldn't surprise me given how Hollywood just loves pumping out sequels even if nobody wants them. Speaking of sequels no one wants, we got a sixth Ice Age coming at the end of the month on Disney+. Oh goody...

I think this is going to be AniMat's number 1 worst movie of 2022 at the end of this year. *Ice Age Adventures Buck Wild poster shows* Oh nooooooooooo!

As a HUGE horror fan, I always loved these movies.

I just wanna say, I had just recently discovered your channel and I could listen to you all day! I envy the amount of energy you have 😂☺️

I’m glad you’re finally reviewing this I’ve been waiting

I actually liked the first and third movies. But I agree with you that the fourth one was unnecessary and waste of money. I could see from the trailer why Adam and Kevin jumped ship.

Honestly I didn't think it was good, but not bad either. I think the A plot needed to be fleshed out more, they needed to cut down scenes (like why did they do most of the Chacha Slide? It just dragged on) For me it's a 6/10, but at least now it's over

Glad to see current Animat is more mature and respectful when talking about these movies. He gives reason as to why he doesn't like them, but respects that people do.

As much as it's a huge sigh of relief that the Hotel Transylvania film zombie franchise (no pun intended) is dead, that's just the LEAST of both AniMat and our worries! There is also the Ice Age spinoff, starring Buck the Dinosaur Weasel, and three unnecessary sequels to Norm of the North, the King of the Stupids! Now, Happy Dracula, you were likable in the first two adventures, but I regret to distance myself from you after the third and fourth movies. As for everyone else who will experience the prehistoric creatures and the Arctic polar bear, be strong, be very afraid, be brave, BEWARE!

Forget straight to DVD we’ve got straight to streaming now.

15:53 From what’s been said, the reason why Sandler wasn’t there was because he was kind of a dick to everyone he worked with at Sony, so they fired him. Kevin James probably left by association, but I don’t know exact details.

To make you feel better, there's Genndy's upcoming Black Knight movie which is from one of Sony's upcoming non-kid friendly animated projects and could possibly be could be his moment if it goes good.

Well I’d like to say that their were a lot of great hidden points and treats up the sleeve. Great review

Johnny wasn't actually that bad in the first one, immature yes but not too much. Thing is that the following movies amped all them immature character traits to 20 out of 10. I think the series wouldn't of benefited from his removal but instead from him getting an actual character plot and actually growing/maturing over the course of the movies especially since he has a son. The problem was that they still wanted their movies to play like looney toons cartoons and he was the prime character to cause whatever minor plot or generally enact quite a few considering the immature personality they cultivated some.

Frankly, my main issue is that it is basically a series of movies excusing a father trying to control the live of his daughter, often through extremely questionable means. What I hate the most that no matter what he does, he always gets what he wants in the end.

The only thing to do now is sing. Nananana, Nananana, Hey Hey, Goodbye🎶

Plot twist: Since drac is over 300 when he turns into a human he just straight up dies

Major props to my favourite impressionist and idol, Brian Hull for voicing Drac and perfectly replicating Adam Sandler! 🧛‍♂️🦇🩸 Despite the abysmal writing and material he was given, for what is worth, Brian’s performance carried the movie enough! 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Don’t blame Brian Hull. After all, this is the FOURTH instalment of Hotel Transylvania 4! Oh, well. I still think he did a great job as Drac!

I love how they took the original plot of the first movie (which instead of Johnny it would have been a descendant of Van Helsing) falling in love with the daughter of Dracula, leading to both he and Dracula to set aside their prejudices and coming together, and scrapped it only to use it in the third film, except instead of telling an endearing story, it was completely wasted on a shlucky, hyperactive thirdquel about a monster cruise. And by love I mean hate. What a waste.

"The worst way to close off a movie series since Ice Age" Ohhhhhh boy, I'm gonna tell him..

I still think it’s tragic that because of the first movie coming out at the same time few saw Burton’s last great film: Frankenweenie

Animat is the gooey center of our animation lives :)

I think I just got a Transformania ad on this video. Man, talk about not reading the room.

Both this and Turning Red were the only animated films effected by the Delta and Omicron variants, both have human characters turning into giant monsters, and both were heavily marketed as being the studio's comeback to cinemas after 3 years despite getting pulled to streaming last second
