Hotel Transylvania : Transformaniareturns with much zestfulness , a pregnant improvement from its predecessor , and a wholesome gain to the series in footing of tone and subject matter . truly fun and advert in parts , Hotel Transylvania : Transformaniacasts intimate characters in raw molds , adding more heart to the franchise .
Transformaniaopens with a grand in - hotel celebration , with Dracula ( Brian Hull ) look forward to putting on a memorable show for his guests . At the last minute , Jonathan ( Andy Samberg ) takes over , infusing the proceedings with his disorderly vigor . thing necessarily go downhill , much to Drac ’s mortification . However , more concerned with the large announcement of excrete over the possession of the hotel to his daughter Mavis ( Selena Gomez ) , Drac spends his time rehearse the speech for the big reveal , while share his concerns with an ever - supportive Ericka ( Kathryn Hahn ) . After Mavis overhears this conversation and shares the news with Johnny , the latter , hyperactive as he is , hie to the Count and relay his risky venture - themed renovation plans for the hotel , which are whole at loggerheads with the current gothic , vintage aesthetic .
This , clearly cause Drac to panic , who lies that a certain law disallow humans from pass hotels originally owned by behemoth , and then proceeds to not give away the transfer ownership to Mavis during his big speech . A disappointed Johhny bumps into Van Helsing ( Jim Gaffigan ) , who introduces him to his latest design , the Monsterification Ray , which can turn humans into monsters , and vice versa . Excited to truly be a part of his fellowship , Johnny advocate Helsing to use the shaft of light on him , which turns him into a winged dragon - like teras , while a serial of comedic errors go to a bunch of fiend , including Drac himself , to be transformed into human . This sudden shift in dynamical is both screaming and terrific - Drac is no longer the suave , all - powerful man in bid , Frankenstein is transformed into a hunk ( something he is exaggeratedly futile about ) , and Blobby is now a literal blob of jello .
The source of difference arises from the fact that Helsing ’s machine is now broken and the mystifying eyeball that is equal to of triggering the transformations can only be find from a certain cave , the journeying to which is extremely perilous . This allow the narrative to focus solely on Drac and Johnny ’s dynamic , who have always had a rather strained human relationship , with the condition quo being altogether flipped in this scenario . With Johnny enjoying his newfound monster powers and Drac being painfully aware of his limit as a human , the duet body of work astonishingly well together , paving the way of life for earnest conversation about ego - worth and family . The catch , of form , is the doubt of whether Johnny ’s monstrosity can be reversed , as remaining in that vessel for too long would make him drop off his congenital humanity , and the narrative extend in fun , interesting ways to resolve that .
The absence of Adam Sandler among the spokesperson stamp , especially as he does not hark back to reprise the purpose of Dracula , true feel out - of - place in the beginning . However , Hull manages to grow into the part quite well , add an element of heartrending empathy to the way in which he re - appraise his hesitation to accept Johnny as his family . The rest of the voice cast plays their respective roles fairly well , especially the core giant who grow into humans , as these vista provide a genuine stripe of hilarity to the narration as a whole .
While child , who are the core target demographic ofHotel Transylvania : Transformania , are bound to have a good time , the film is rather refreshing for adults as well , despite its many flaws . Although some part sense rather formulaic and the experience uneven , Transformaniahas its merits . It ’s a tale that brim with heart as it await into what the whim of found family are and what it means to be human .
